Eugenol (EU), the active ingredient in clove oil, is commonly used as successful therapeutic compound in dentistry due to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects. Recent research studies suggest that eugenol has also a potential anti-cancer effect. This study was thereby purported to assess the effects of EU on the bioenergetic profile of the SCC-4 human squamous cell carcinoma cell line. To this aim, SCC-4 cells were treated for 24 hours with free EU and EU incorporated in polyurethane structures (50 �M each). Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) were measured using the Seahorse XF-24e extracellular flux analyzer (Agilent Technologies Inc.). Analysis of the SCC-4 bioenergetic profile was performed in the presence of the classic modulators of the electron transport chain: oligomycin, FCCP, and antimycin A+rotenone. Our data showed that cells stimulated with free EU induced a decrease of OCR linked parameters and an increase of ECAR, effects that were abolished by the incorporation of EU in polyurethane structures. In conclusion, free eugenol elicits inhibitory effects on mitochondrial respiration in the SCC-4 cell line, a result that might be suggestive for its anti-tumoral effects.

Introduction: Carcinoma of cervix is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and in developing countries like India. Cervical cancer is third most common cancer among women however there is a good chance of curability if diagnosed in early stage. Materials and Methods: We had analysed 78 patient of carcinoma of cervix post op who were registered from 2012 to 2015 at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences. Results: We analysed 78 patients between age of 32-70 years and median age is 50 year. Among all patients squamous cell carcinoma is most common (65 patient), adenocarcinoma were 12 and lieomyosarcoma was 1 patient. Among all patient 12 were of adenocarcinoma, 1 of lieomyosarcoma and 65 patient of squamous cell carcinoma. On examination 55 patients were NAD and 23 were residual. Among squamous cell carcinoma 35 were moderate differentiated, 18 were well differentiated and 12 were of poorly differentiated. On examination 55 patients were NAD rest were having disease. Gap between EBRT and SORBO ranging from 3 to 99 days and median is 27 days and median is 29 days. Treatment length varies from 4 cm to 8 cm and median is 6 cm. Ovoide size ranges from 2.5 cm to 3.5 cm and median is 2.5 cm. Dose per fraction ranges from 5 Gy to 9 Gy and median was 9 Gy. Median fraction of session were 2. Out of 78 patients 2 were developed metastasis and 6 having residual disease. 28 patients were NAD and rest were referral and send back to parent hospital. Conclusion: Due to lack of resources and awareness of disease maximum number of patient presented with advanced stage. The recommended treatment time could not be achieved due to scarcity of cancer centres, treatment time is prolonged. We have not found any relation between treatment length and outcome. We are still investigating to conclude to found out relation among these variables.

Synchronous tumours of gynaecological malignancies occur rarely and most of these cases are represented by synchronous ovarian and endometrial cancer. Synchronous malignancies of cervix and ovary are rare with poor prognosis. Only few cases of synchronous cancer of cervix and ovary are found in the literature as case reports. Here, we report a case of a 63 year old patient who was diagnosed with synchronous squamous cell carcinoma of cervix and high grade serous carcinoma of ovary in which her clinical presentation, investigation and intraoperative findings were atypical. Patient presented with postmenopausal bleeding and mass per abdomen. Pipelle sampling revealed squamous cell carcinoma of cervix. Examination under anaesthesia noted endocervical growth measuring 3×4 cm with endoluminal extension into the whole endometrial cavity. Computerized tomography (CT) imaging showed left ovarian mass measuring 10.0×11.7 cm. Uterine corpus involvement in this case mislead us to the initial diagnosis of ovarian metastasis in cervical cancer. The distinct histopathological features of the ovary, cervix and endometrial lesion post operatively helped in establishing the diagnosis of two separate primaries which was synchronous cervical and ovarian cancer rather than metastatic spread of one primary malignancy.
