Primary tracheal hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma with EWSR1 rearrangement: A case report.

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare, low-grade epithelial tumor predominantly found in the salivary glands, with tracheal involvement being particularly uncommon. The present study details a case of primary tracheal HCCC and its clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges and the therapeutic approach used. A 34-year-old female patient presented with a 1-month history of intermittent dyspnea.

Artificial Intelligence-Aided Diagnosis Software to Identify Highly Suspicious Pulmonary Nodules.

Introduction: To evaluate the value of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted software in the diagnosis of lung nodules using a combination of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).

Method: A total of 113 patients with pulmonary nodules were screened using LDCT. For nodules with the largest diameters, an HRCT local-target scanning program (combined scanning scheme) and a conventional-dose CT scanning scheme were also performed.

Sodium vitamin C transporter 2 orchestrates lactate metabolism in mouse Sertoli cells.

Transportation of vitamin C (also called ascorbic acid (AA)), an important water-soluble antioxidant and cofactor in testis, requires glucose transporter family (GLUTs) and sodium/vitamin C cotransporter family (SVCT1 and SVCT2). There is so far scant information vis-à-vis the functional roles of SVCTs in testis, although they possess higher affinity for transportation of AA compared to GLUTs. To analyze the biological effects of SVCT2 in testis, we assessed testicular expression of SVCT2 in different experimental settings and the effect of SVCT2 ablation on spermatogenesis.

Efficacy of Catheter-directed Thrombolysis on Post-burn Deep Venous Thrombosis of Lower Extremity.

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of catheter-directed thrombolysis on deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremity after burn.

Study Design: An observational study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Invasive Technology Department, Binzhou City Center Hospital, China, from January 2015 to November 2017.

Bisphenol A-elicited miR-146a-5p impairs murine testicular steroidogenesis through negative regulation of Mta3 signaling.

The epigenetic effects on expression of non-coding RNAs (e.g. microRNAs) of environmental toxin bisphenol A (BPA) have extended our understanding of the etiology of human reproductive disorders including hypospermatogenesis and androgen deficiency.

Role of interleukin-10 polymorphisms and haplotypes in polycystic ovary syndrome risk.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most frequently encountered endocrine malfunctions. The etiology of PCOS is complex and unclear. We aimed to investigate the role of three common SNPs (rs1800896, rs1800871 and rs1800872) of IL-10 in the development of PCOS in a Chinese population.

Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis--a case report.

Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (PLAM) is a rare disease, occurs in 16-68-year-old women, especially in women of childbearing age. High-resolution computed tomography would be useful for diagnosis of PLAM. Immunohistochemistry of smooth muscle actin (SMA) and HMB-45 smooth muscle cells was positive for smooth muscle cells.
