The present study aimed to explore the significance and molecular mechanisms of galectin‑1 (LGALS1) in ovarian cancer (OC). Using the Gene Expression Omnibus database and The Cancer Genome Atlas database, the results of the present study demonstrated that LGALS1 mRNA expression was markedly increased in OC and associated with advanced tumor, lymphatic metastasis and residual lesions. In Kaplan‑Meier analysis, patients who expressed LGALS1 highly had a poor prognosis. Furthermore, using The Cancer Genome Atlas database, differentially expressed genes that are potentially regulated by LGALS1 in OC were determined. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis were used to build a biological network of upregulated differentially expressed genes. The results of the enrichment analysis revealed that the upregulated differentially expressed genes were primarily associated with ‘ECM-receptor interaction’, ‘cell‑matrix adhesion’ and ‘focal adhesion’, which are closely associated with the metastasis of cancer cells. Subsequently, cell adhesion was selected for further analysis. The results demonstrated that LGALS1 was co‑expressed with the candidate genes. Subsequently, the elevated expression levels of candidate genes were verified in OC tissues, and survival analysis indicated that high expression of candidate genes was associated with shortened overall survival of patients with OC. In the present study, OC samples were also collected to verify the high protein expression levels of LGALS1 and fibronectin 1. The results of the present study highlighted that LGALS1 may regulate cell adhesion and participate in the development of OC. Therefore, LGALS1 exhibits potential as a therapeutic target in OC.

Isoxazole-based molecules constitute a crucial category of heterocyclic compounds with wide-ranging applications across pharmaceutical development, advanced materials, and pesticide synthesis. Traditional synthetic approaches for isoxazole derivatives frequently encounter challenges such as extended reaction periods, severe operating conditions, and reliance on toxic solvents. As an eco-friendly alternative, sonochemistry has emerged as a promising approach for organic synthesis, offering enhanced reaction efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and improved yields. In this context, this review introduces the recent advancements in ultrasound-assisted strategies for the synthesis of isoxazole-scaffolds and their derivatives. Various methodologies are discussed, including multi-component reactions, catalytic systems, and solvent-free protocols. The integration of ultrasound not only accelerates reaction kinetics but also minimizes byproduct formation and enables the use of green solvents or catalysts. Key advantages such as shorter reaction durations, higher atom economy, and operational simplicity are emphasized. This work underscores the potential of sonochemical techniques to revolutionize isoxazole-based molecule synthesis, aligning with the principles of sustainable and green chemistry.

Rationale: The mature cystic teratoma of the ovary (MCTO), is composed of mature differentiated elements, thus showing highly differentiated tissue and highly morphological heterogeneity. Although gastrointestinal epithelium can be identified in 7% to 13% of cases of MCTO, the occurrence of visible, functional, and fully developed loop tissue is rare in clinical practice. Patient concerns: A 17-year-old female patient presented with persistent abdominal pain. Diagnosis: The patient was diagnosed with MCTO where a visible, functional intestinal loop was observed during laparoscopic surgery. Microscopy of the intestinal structure indicated a well-organized, intact layer of intestinal wall. Interventions: An emergency single-port laparoscopic excision of the right ovarian cyst and histopathology were performed. Outcomes: After 2 years of follow-up, there were no signs of recurrence in the patient. Lessons: The immune signature of CK7−/CK20+ is characteristic of tumors of gastrointestinal origin and can be used to distinguish tumors associated with mature cystic teratoma. Besides, gynecologists should keep an eye on the possibility of malignant transformation malignant transformation of MCTO.
