Efficacy of continuous gastric artery infusion chemotherapy in relieving digestive obstruction in advanced gastric cancer.

Background: Obstruction or fullness after feeding is common in gastric cancer (GC) patients, affecting their nutritional status and quality of life. Patients with digestive obstruction are generally in a more advanced stage. Existing methods, including palliative gastrectomy, gastrojejunostomy, endoluminal stent, jejunal nutrition tube and intravenous chemotherapy, have limitations in treating these symptoms.

Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Predicting Residual Breast Cancer After Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting residual breast cancer in patients after vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB).

Methods: Between 2012 and 2019, 26 patients with breast cancer who underwent VABB were enrolled. Breast MRI was conducted after VABB.

Catastrophic vertebral artery and subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms caused by a fishbone: A case report.

Background: Fishbone is the most common esophageal foreign body and tends to migrate after piercing the esophagus to nearby structures. Vascular injury around the esophagus is a serious complication and has a high mortality rate, especially in the case of multiple vascular injuries.

Case Summary: We report an extremely rare case of successive vertebral artery and subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms caused by swallowing a fishbone in a previously healthy 29-year-old female.

TaPUB1, a Putative E3 Ligase Gene from Wheat, Enhances Salt Stress Tolerance in Transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana.

High salinity is one of the most severe environmental stresses and limits the growth and yield of diverse crop plants. We isolated a gene named TaPUB1 from wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv HF9703) that encodes a novel protein containing a U-box domain, the precursor RNA processing 19p (Prp19) superfamily and WD-40 repeats.

Carotid blowout syndrome after nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy: successful treatment by internal carotid artery occlusion after stent implantation failure.

Introduction: Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) secondary to radiation therapy is life-threatening and requires emergency treatment. More recently, endovascular treatment has provided an effective way to control CBS-related bleeding.

Case Description: We present a case of CBS with a rupture of the internal carotid artery (ICA) pseudo-aneurysm after Gamma Knife radiation therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Use of magnetic resonance elastography for assessing liver functional reserve: A clinical study.

Aim: To investigate the value of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) with regard to assessing liver functional reserve.

Methods: Data from inpatients diagnosed with a liver tumor at an interventional radiology department from July 2013 to June 2014 were analyzed. A 3.

Use of digital subtraction angiography for assessment of digital replantation.

Objective: To assess the blood flow of the proper digital artery using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the early stage after replantation.

Methods: From January 2006 to October 2010, 27 anastomosed arteries in 27 replanted digits were included in the study. The patients included nine males and four females.

Pulmonary and cerebral lipiodol embolism after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization [corrected] in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Pulmonary and cerebral lipiodol embolism after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma is rare. To our knowledge, only 7 cases have been reported in the literature. We present a case of pulmonary and cerebral lipiodol embolism, and analyzed retrospectively the imaging and clinical data of the patient and conclude the most probable mechanism of pulmonary and cerebral lipiodol embolism, which is different from that of the cases reported previously.

Coexistence of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and villous adenoma in the ampulla of Vater.

Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater is extremely rare and different from the common ampullary adenocarcinoma. The ampullary adenoma is also a rare neoplasm and has the potential to develop an adenocarcinoma. Their coexistence has been rarely reported in the literature.
