Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is frequently associated with precursor lesions, and biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) may play a significant role in the development of ICC. However, the exact sequence and progression of these lesions remain to be elucidated. We report a rare case of ICC that exhibited extensive longitudinal intraductal extension of high-grade BilIN in the posterior bile ducts and involved the hepatic hilum and the peripheral hepatic parenchyma.

- - This phase III study assessed the safety and immune response of the V114 vaccine, which targets 15 types of pneumococcal bacteria, in Japanese infants compared to the existing PCV13 vaccine.
- - Healthy infants received three doses of either V114 or PCV13, and researchers closely monitored adverse events and immune response levels after vaccinations at certain intervals.
- - Results showed V114 was well tolerated and produced comparable immune responses to the 13 shared serotypes found in PCV13, with significantly better responses for two additional serotypes, 22F and 33F.
Article Synopsis
- A 65-year-old woman presented with a large tumor in her right breast, diagnosed as a mixed invasive micropapillary and neuroendocrine mammary neoplasm after a mastectomy.
- The tumor, characterized by a complex structure and significant hemorrhage, showed distinctive features on histopathology, including a vascular network and cancer cell nests surrounded by empty spaces.
- The patient had multiple metastases in lymph nodes and the tumor displayed a luminal B-like immuno-profile, suggesting the need for careful clinical monitoring due to its rarity and complexity.
Background/purpose: Although dental diseases are related to systemic diseases and daily habits and are known to affect the quality of life, little attention has been paid to the importance of oral hygiene in Japanese working-age adults. We, thus, aimed to assess changes in the periodontal condition of working-age adults after providing regular oral health information at their workplace for two years.
Materials And Methods: Two years of oral health information were provided to workers at four printing companies.
