Title: Prognostic and Immune Infiltration Features of Disulfidptosis-related Subtypes in Breast
Cancer
Version: 1 Date: 22 Oct 2023
Reviewer's report:
The authors intended to identify different subtypes of BC based on disulfidptosis-related
genes (DRGs) and analyze the characteristics of disulfidptosis-related BC subtypes from the
perspectives of tumor mutation, immune infiltration, immunotherapy response prediction, and
targeted small molecule prediction. Through enrichment analyses, they analyzed the biological
functions of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to disulfidptosis-related BC subtypes.
Albeit, I consider these findings to provide new insight into cancer-related fields, I still have
some suggestions.
1, Most figures and tables are highly professional; however, the authors should guide the readers
to the meaning of the images appropriately; otherwise, it will likely cause misunderstandings.
Therefore, I suggest the author consider revising these figures and table legends again.
2, In Figure 1, the author presented the identification of DRG clusters in BC based on DRGs
Since the authors gave a general answer on gene and protein expression, is there any evidence
of different roles in cancer phenotypes of these genes? Please perform pertinent bioinformatic
analyses and provide examples of studies investigating miRNA alteration or DNA methylation
(https://biit.cs.ut.ee/methsurv/)(PMID: 29264942, 34834441, 33437202).
3, In Figure 3, the author presented immune analysis of the two subtypes of BC samples,
they scored 28 types of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of different
subtypes to analyze the level of immune cell infiltration and immune function. However, it
is worth validating their data correlated with immune cells by using the "TIMER" (http://
timer.cistrome.org) analysis tool (PMID: 32442275, 34329194, 37484803).
4, In Figure 7, the author presented expression analysis of SLC7A11, SLC3A2, RPN1, and
NCKAP1 in different gene clusters. Since The Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) project
aims to conduct a detailed genetic characterization of a large panel of human cancer cell lines,
therefore, it would be much better for the author to validate their result in the Cancer Cell Line
Encyclopedia (CCLE), and discuss these methodologies and literature in the manuscript (PMID:
22460905, 32064155, 34094655).
5, There are few typo issues for the authors to pay attention to; please also unify the writing of
scientific terms. “Italic, capital”? Please double-check superscripts and subscripts for the whole
manuscript
6, Most references are out of date, the author needs to discuss the recent paper as well as the
analysis methods in this manuscript. Meanwhile, the introduction part needs to be rewritten and
present the purpose of the investigation and cite pertinent literature.
7, The font is too small for some of the current figures; meanwhile, the manuscript also needs
English proofreading.
Title: Prognostic and Immune Infiltration Features of Disulfidptosis-related Subtypes in Breast
Cancer
Version: 1 Date: 25 Oct 2023
Reviewer's report:
This study presents intriguing insights; however, there is room for improvement in terms of depth
and validation. Specifically, the authors should delve deeper into the discussion of how their
identified clusters correlate with the four Disulfidptosis-related Subtypes: SLC7A11, SLC3A2,
RPN1, and NCKAP1.
The narrative of the paper could benefit from a more cohesive and integrated approach.
Currently, it reads more like a procedural manual, listing steps without weaving them into a
compelling narrative. This adjustment would greatly enhance the overall coherence and impact
of the research.
Title: “I still don’t know how someone gets pregnant”: Determinants of poor reproductive health
among young female refugees in South Africa
Version: 1 Date: 13 Nov 2023
Reviewer's report:
Thank you, this research addresses a critically important issue for a population of young women
who are particularly vulnerable, the paper is well written, and the research has been thoughtfully
undertaken and analyzed. I recommend acceptance after a few minor changes, please see below
for my suggestions.
Please check consistency with using ether SRH or SRHR
The authors refer to ‘adolescents’ and ‘young’ frequently, these terms are all used to mean
different ages – please indicate what age range you mean when using these terms.
Methods:
Please indicate who undertook the interviews, and if they were of a different or similar age,
nationality, race, gender etc. If different please indicate how issues of power etc were addressed,
what steps were taken to build in reflexivity among the researchers to try to address, or at least
reduce, researcher positionality etc?
Findings:
The authors talk about the stigma of conceiving outside of marriage, one women even moved
to CT to avoid the shame and gossip. Can you say something about what happens after the baby
is born, do people tend to accept the situation and stop the shaming and judgments? When the
woman returned from CT was she accepted, or does this continue?
“I think it's also because of how the world is evolving. Little by little, what used to be abnormal
is not normal.” Should ‘not’ actually be ’now’???
“Contraception was reported to be freely available and proactively offered by health care
providers in the public sector clinics, as well as accessible for a fee at pharmacies.” Perhaps the
authors could explore this a bit more critically, while contraceptives are available there is a lot
of research highlighting the many barriers that young women still experience accessing them
including: the attitudes of health care workers, stock outs, clinic hours (for children at school
etc), costs (if going private)etc etc. As your women told you, and much research shows, HCWs
tend to offer contraceptives ‘proactively” after a first pregnancy, but not as much prior to that
for adolescents.
“Preferred methods for preventing pregnancy were barrier methods in the form of condoms and
emergency contraception” please elaborate on this – how successful were women in consistently
negotiating condom use, how often did they use EC, where did they access it etc???
Discussion:
The authors stress the importance of CSE, noting school as a key point of delivery – however
you also note that many of these young women do not remain in school, I think it would be
useful to offer a very concrete recommendation around WHERE CSE could be delivered and
by whom for those out of school, noting these women’s particular vulnerabilities as refugees
(beyond tertiary spaces which you mention). I note you mentioned working with peer refugees,
but I think this needs more specifics.
Title: “I still don’t know how someone gets pregnant”: Determinants of poor reproductive health
among young female refugees in South Africa
Version: 2 Date: 03 Dec 2023
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for making the suggested changes. The manuscript reads well and is much stronger,
especially with the incorporation of more diverse participant viewpoints.
The addition of the 'Limitations' section is also well done and now offers a good suggestion for
future research in this area.
There are still one or two typos. However, these can be fixed during the editing stages. E.g.
line 388: There should be a space between the period and 'Congolese' and less space between
'Congolese' and 'participants.
Otherwise, this is an interesting manuscript which offers deeper insight into an important topic.
Title: Prognostic factors of patients with recurrent uterine malignancies undergoing secondary
cytoreductive surgery
Version: 1 Date: 27 Aug 2023
Reviewer:  Muzaffer Sanc#
Reviewer's report:
1.The number of the cases for ten years is not enough.
2.The mature of Endo ca.is different from  uterinebsarcomas.
3.It can be multicenter and deal only with Endo ca.or uterine sarcomas.
Title: Prognostic factors of patients with recurrent uterine malignancies undergoing secondary
cytoreductive surgery
Version: 1 Date: 31 Aug 2023
Reviewer's report:
1
in introduction
Explanation on histologic subtypes can go to discussion
It just makes length of introduction too long with fuzzying the study focus
2
Also, refrain throwing questions to the readers
3
'These studies were all retrospective and their sample size was limited. '
->yes, but also the current series might be the same
Authors can rather share the hypothesis and the background of incorporating scs to these
subgroup of patients
4
The contentus and the order of the 'discussion' is somewhat heavily disorganized
It is hard to know to where do authors want to guide readers to
Abiding by the certain form of manuscript writing can add clarity and focus of the research
How about starting with summarizing the current study results, and then discussing the
bacground and effectiveness of scs on the current disease, speculation of previous series with
the current study, and finally announcing the conclusion
Thank you
Title: Prognostic factors of patients with recurrent uterine malignancies undergoing secondary
cytoreductive surgery
Version: 1 Date: 31 Aug 2023
Reviewer:  Volkan Karatasli
Reviewer's report:
Introduction section needs to be shortened.
‘endometrial atromal sarcoma, high-grade endometrial atromal sarcoma’ should be corrected as
‘endometrial stromal sarcoma, high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma’ in line 139 and tables
1&6.
The abbreviation of the word ‘DFI’ should be explained in the first use.
The findings in the tables are repeated in the results section.
Title: Psychosocial dimensions of access and their association with contraceptive use and
intention to use
Version: 2 Date: 27 Sep 2023
Reviewer's report:
Manuscript title : Psychosocial dimensions of access and their association with contraceptive
use and intention to use
Authors  : Lonkila Moussa ZAN, Clémentine ROSSIER
General  Comments
In this survey study, the authors aimed to explore the mediation effect of psychosocial
dimensions of access in the relationships between classical individual characteristics and
contraceptive use and intention to use.
The result of this study overall, the authors have measured the effects of those dimensions
on contraception use and intentions to use in the future, while considering individual and
contextual characteristics. They suggest that the effects of education and age can be explained
by psychosocial dimensions, such as approval and agency. They also found that the effects of
education and parity on contraceptive use are partially related to contraceptive approval and
agency.
The knowledge of literature about this subject was not very poor. From this point of view,
this study may give a new insight into current knowledge. However, based on literature it may
enlarge our knowledge about this subject.
Overall the manuscript is well written. The manuscript reported interesting findings; the specific
comments are given below.
Specific Comments
1. English language of the manuscript should be re-reviewed.
2.  These can be added to the literature as current sources in the discussion section. (doi: 10.5603/
GP.a2020.0102, doi: 10.1080/01443615.2020.1754370)
3. In conclusion, this manuscript was well-written, this study add new findings to current
knowledge of  literature. In my point of view minor revision is needed.
Title: Prognostic and reproductive outcomes in women who had uterine myomas removed
during cesarean section and sutured using different techniques
Version: 0 Date: 21 Oct 2023
Reviewer's report:
I think this research is meaningful, because this showed the safety of myomectomy during
cesarean section. So, I have some requests as follows.
1: I want you to analyze about operation time, because I think the difficulty of operation affect
the operation time.
2: I want to know the characteristics of resected uterine myomas, because in general, the size
and number of myomas affected the difficulty of myomectomy.
3: If possible, I want you to show that there is no difference between the patients with first
operation and others.
Title: Prognostic and reproductive outcomes in women who had uterine myomas removed
during cesarean section and sutured using different techniques
Version: 0 Date: 21 Oct 2023
Reviewer's report:
* Related to 'The reproductive outcomes of the experimental group two years after surgery': This
data has no base for comparison or discussion in contrast to other outcomes that are compared
to the control group. It is only a retrospective observation related to the experimental group.
Therefore, the title 'Prognostic and reproductive outcomes in women who had uterine myomas
removed during cesarean section and sutured using different techniques' does not represent the
design and compared outcomes of the study . If the authors aim to compare or observe the
reproductive outcomes, the sample size, and study type should be re-evaluated. I think that 'the
reproductive outcomes' should be excluded both from the title and the investigated outcomes.
* Related to' weight of newborns (kg) and their Apgar scores': These outcomes are compared
between groups but it is not discussed why these parameters are included. Additionally, to
compare these parameters, the sample sizes of the groups should be adjusted accordingly as these
outcomes are affected by many confounding factors which are not mentioned in this manuscript.
To overcome these confounding factors, and comment on the effect of the type of surgery
(myomectomy) or pathology (myoma), sample size should be increased.
* The title also creates an impression that the study is also comparing the results of different
suturing techniques. However, there is no result/outcome/table related to comparison of suture
techniques.
Title: Prognostic and reproductive outcomes in women who had uterine myomas removed
during cesarean section and sutured using different techniques
Version: 0 Date: 22 Oct 2023
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled " Is “Prognostic and reproductive outcomes in
women who had uterine myomas removed during cesarean section and sutured using different
techniques." which falls within the aim of the Journal.
Although the manuscript can be considered already of good quality, I would suggest following
recommendations:
- I suggest round of language revision, in order to correct few typos and improve readability;
- Considering topic of this study, it would be interesting to add few lines about the risk of facing
off of a misdiagnosed sarcoma during the management of uterine myomas and how to proceed
referring to various therapeutic approaches.
I would be glad if the authors discuss this important point, referring to PMID: 37348383
Because of these reasons, the article should be revised and completed. Considering all these
points, I think it could be of interest to the readers and, in my opinion, it deserves the priority
to be published after minor revisions.
Title: Factors influencing the uptake and utilization of cervical cancer screening services among
women attending public health centers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia:  Mixed methods study  
Version: 3 Date: 10 May 2023
Reviewer's report:
The authors have done a comprehensive study to assess factors influencing the uptake of cervical
cancer screening. I have some few comments to improve the manuscript.
1. The introduction should be brief. Again others keep repeating some sentences using different
words.
2. Why was AOR considered instead of OR.
3. Which year is the ASIR 34.8 per 100,000 cases.
4.Study hypothesis was not clearly defined.
5. Again why did the study focus on women attending clinics instead of women not having
access to healthcare?  This might not represent the actual situation.
6. The inclusion and exclusion criteria is not well stated. The methodology is not rigorous for
replication of study.
7. How were the women recruited? Which sampling technique was involved?
Title: The clinical significance of intraoperative adverse events in laparoscopic radical
hysterectomies for early-stage cervical cancer
Version: 0 Date: 18 Oct 2023
Reviewer's report:
The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study of a prospectively kept database on the
clinical significance of intraoperative adverse events in laparoscopic radical hysterectomies for
early-stage cervical cancer. Although, the topic is of interest to the reader, some improvements
need to be made:
In the methods section, the authors should define iAE and list the occured iAEs in the results
section. The paragraph on statistical analysis, as well as table 1 must be revised, e.g. explaining
in detail the application of median/ range and mean/ standard deviation. The discussion section
needs to be massively extended by discussing the results found in the present study and
comparing them to the literature.
Some spelling errors must be corrected, e.g. table 2: Postoperation complications
I therefor recommend to reevaluate the manuscript after major revisions.
Title: The clinical significance of intraoperative adverse events in laparoscopic radical
hysterectomies for early-stage cervical cancer
Version: 0 Date: 28 Oct 2023
Reviewer's report:
Dear authors,
I read with interest your paper. It is interesting and innovative work.  ClassIntra to date has not
yet received scientific validation in the field of gynecologic oncology despite being potentially
applicable to all surgical disciplines. Your data, especially because they are statistically
validated, are certainly worthy of interest and dissemination, even if the sample analyzed, as
you acknowledge, is limited in both numerosity and single membership. Starting with such a
delicate subgroup of patients as those undergoing radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical
cancer is undoubtedly a great challenge.
It is in fact an extremely delicate surgery in that by many guidelines, the standard is still type C,
and that is strictly involving noble structures such as the ureter.
Why did the authors select only patients undergoing surgery for cervical cancer?
How was the sample size calculated?

Reviewer's report:
Abstracts:
It is enough to explain the validity value of the questionnaire, and what variables will be
measured.
equate the writing of the term t-test
Introductions:
The closing paragraph strengthens the researcher to carry out this research. But in the first line
paragraph, instead of explaining the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic which leads to
anxiety and depression, what does this have to do with this research?
Materials and methodology
To facilitate understanding in reading, it is necessary to divide it into several sub-headings,
according to what will be discussed
Findings
I could not find the results of the age measurements in any of the tables as discussed in the first
paragraph of the results. where are these results displayed?
Fig.  1
It's not clear which one is the intervention group and which one control group
In experimental studies, preferably, there is no difference in the initial conditions of the control
and intervention groups in the dependent variable to be studied. This would indicate that both
groups were in the same condition before the intervention.
In this study showing that there were differences in the groups before the intervention, how can
researchers explain that the changes that occur are due to the effects of the intervention, not
because the initial conditions are basically different?
Discussion
Need to clearly separate the parts in the objectives to be discussed.
For each objective, several forms of awareness changed in the intervention group as well as
examples of forms of fast food consumption that changed in the intervention group compared
to the control group.
Reference
Need to update the reference

Version: 2 Date: 21 Aug 2023
Reviewer's report:
This topic holds considerable intrigue. To elevate the quality of this article, a few additions and
adjustments are worth considering. Herein lie my suggestions and recommendations:
INTRODUCTION
1. Clarify Sedentary Behavior Description:
Offer more examples and contrasts to better explain sedentary behavior's impact on health.
2. Elaborate on the Significance of Sedentary Lifestyle:
Expand on health consequences like cardiovascular issues due to sedentary behavior.
3. Link Fast Food Consumption to Obesity:
Explain how fast foods contribute to weight gain through high calories and low nutrients.
4. Highlight the Novelty of the Study:
Emphasize the study's uniqueness in addressing gaps in smartphone-based interventions for
sedentary behavior and fast food consumption
METHODOLOGY
5. Please kindly incorporate citations in alignment with the instruments utilized throughout the
research.
RESULTS
6. The findings are acceptable, yet it's crucial to prioritize addressing the objective question more
directly. Each chosen analysis should be closely tied to its specific purpose for optimal clarity.
DISCUSSION
7. The robustness of the discussion could be enhanced by referencing and drawing support from
research conducted within the past 3-5 years.
OVERAL COMMENTS
8. Refrain from Using "Obese and Overweight Women":
Kindly utilize third-person language without reference to individuals' weight status
9. The title can be improved to:

Title: The impact of diabetes, anemia, and renal function in the relationship between
osteoporosis and fasting blood glucose among Taiwanese women: a cross-sectional study
Version: 0 Date: 21 Oct 2023
Reviewer:  Tao-Hsin Tung
Reviewer's report:
The Authors propose the cross-sectional study to examine the impact of diabetes, anemia,
and renal function in the relationship between osteoporosis and fasting blood glucose among
Taiwanese women. The study designs and methods used are basically appropriate, and the
interpretations of the results are reasonable. However, there are several areas where the
manuscript needs to be strengthened.
1. Could you please give more information about the targeted population and rationale for
targeting them? Exactly, who are the targeted population?
2. How the variables are selected in this study.
3. Why did you use p<0.05 but not 0.1 or 0.2 as variables selection into multivariate analysis?
4.The possible feature and novel findings should be clarified of this study.
5.Please consider the comparison with the other studies in other areas using table so make clear
the significance of this study.
6.More discussion regarding the policy implications of their findings would be
important for the use of methodology in health policy making.
7.This manuscript seems like an administrative healthy report rather than evidence-based study.
8.Some references should be updated.
Totally, I would like to congratulate the authors for the enthusiasm invested in this study.
However, the manuscript does not reach the level of quality required for publication as original
article without major revision in BMC Women’s Health.
