The median age of the study population was 61.

Spatial Distribution Patterns of Pleural Dissemination in Patients With Thymoma and Survival Analysis.

Thymoma is a common malignancy with low incidence, and pleural metastases are common pattern of recurrence. It is necessary that the spatial location of pleural metastatic lesions be analyzed. This study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution patterns of pleural dissemination in patients with thymoma and evaluate the variables that influence the survival of pleural metastasis in this population.

HKUST-1 in-situ loaded ultrastable covalently crosslinked agarose aerogel with solvothermal for highly efficient removal of methylene blue.

A new HKUST-1@covalently crosslinked agarose aerogel (HKUST-1@CCAGA) was synthesized for the highly effective elimination of Methylene Blue (MB). Firstly, the covalently crosslinked agarose aerogel (CCAGA) was obtained by hydrothermal crosslinking reaction with epichlorohydrin (ECH) as crosslinker, which remained stabilized under hydrothermal and solvothermal conditions. Then, HKUST-1 was made to bind to CCAGA by in situ solvothermal assays, and the HKUST-1 loading rate reached 47.

Methods: Propensity score matching (PSM) and multivariate Cox proportional risk models were used to evaluate the perioperative outcomes and survival rates of patients undergoing open and VATS for TCs and TNETs at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University Hospital, between 2009 and 2018.

Results: Of the total 126 cases of TCs and TNETs, VATS treatment was used in 39 (30.

Trends of incidence and mortality in metaplastic breast cancer and the effect of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy: A population-based study.

Introduction: Metaplastic breast cancer (MBC) is considered rare and aggressive. We examined the epidemiology of and prognostic factors for MBC and investigated the effect of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM), because neither had been thoroughly examined previously.

Methods: We obtained data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-18(2000-2018) for epidemiological and survival analysis.

Ligustilide enhances pregnancy outcomes via improvement of endometrial receptivity and promotion of endometrial angiogenesis in rats.

Ligustilide (LIG) is the main active ingredient of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels, which could promote focal angiogenesis to exert neuroprotection. However, there was no report that verified the exact effects of LIG on endometrial angiogenesis and the pregnancy outcomes.

Epidemiology of and factors associated with overall survival for patients with head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Background: Updated epidemiologic and survival data of head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma (HNACC) are lacking. This retrospective study aimed to clarify the incidence, prevalence, and overall survival (OS) of patients with HNACC and establish relevant nomogram.

Methods: Trends in incidence, limited-duration prevalence, and relative survival (RS) rates were evaluated using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, and annual percent change (APC) in rates was calculated using joinpoint regression.

Hyperoside exerts protective effects against anticardiolipin antibody-induced recurrent pregnancy loss and .

Background: Women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) or antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) are at high risk for obstetric complications, including recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). However, effective treatments for RPL are lacking.

Objective: This study aimed to reveal the function and underlying mechanism of hyperoside (Hyp) in RPL associated with antiphospholipid antibodies (aCLs).

Association between radiotherapy for surgically treated oral cavity cancer and secondary lung cancer.

Background: There is limited research on the incidence of secondary lung cancer (SLC) after radiotherapy (RT) for oral cavity cancer (OCC). Therefore, we investigated the association between RT for OCC and the risk of SLC and the overall survival of these patients.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with OCC between 1975 and 2015 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database.
