LncRNA BCAR4 expression predicts the clinical response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer.

Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is an important treatment for locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). However, there are no effective biomarkers to predict the efficacy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new biomarkers to predict the response of LABC to NAC.

Do medullary thyroid carcinoma patients with high calcitonin require bilateral neck lymph node clearance? A case report.

Background: In clinical work, 85%-90% of malignant thyroid diseases are papillary thyroid cancer (PTC); thus, clinicians neglect other types of thyroid cancer, such as medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).

Case Summary: We report a 53-year-old female patient with a preoperative calcitonin level of 345 pg/mL. There was no definitive diagnosis of MTC by preoperative fine-needle aspiration cytology or intraoperative frozen pathology, but the presence of PTC and MTC was confirmed by postoperative paraffin pathology.

Bis{2-[(2-benzoyl-hydrazin-1-yl-idene)meth-yl]-6-meth-oxy-phenolato}iron(III) chloride monohydrate.

In the title mononuclear iron(III) complex, [Fe(C(15)H(13)N(2)O(3))(2)]Cl·H(2)O, the Fe(III) atom has a distorted octa-hedral geometry and is six-coordinated by four O atoms and two N atoms from two ligands. In the crystal structure, the complex cations, Cl(-) anions and water mol-ecules are connected into a chain along [100] through N-H⋯O, O-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. Two adjacent chains are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
