Endometrial cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the uterus, but the underlying genetic mechanisms of EC remain unclear. To identify candidate genes and investigate genetic mechanisms for endometrial cancer, we utilized the summary-data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) method to investigate causal associations between genetic variants, gene expression, DNA methylation, and endometrial cancer. Three main analyses were conducted utilizing cis-expression and methylation quantitative trait loci (eQTLs and mQTLs) as instrumental variables to examine causal relationships with endometrial cancer, and assessing the causal relationship between DNA methylation and gene expression.

Introduction: Intrahepatic primary osteosarcoma is a rare disease with a very low incidence but a very poor prognosis. A total of 12 cases have been previously reported, and in most of these cases, intra-focal calcification was observed. This paper aims to report a case of non-calcified intrahepatic primary osteosarcoma.

Background: Posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) entrapment syndrome is one of the causes of weakness and pain of the arm muscles, which is prone to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis in clinic practice. This paper reports a case of PIN entrapment syndrome, with PIN injury indicated by electrophysiology. Musculoskeletal ultrasound was applied to identify that the entrapment point was located at the inlet of the Frohse arch and the outlet of the supinator muscle.

Background: This paper attempts to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of deep learning (DLs) models for cervical cancer CT image segmentation.

Methods: Relevant studies were systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and Web of science. The literature on DLs for cervical cancer CT image segmentation were included, a meta-analysis was performed on the dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of the segmentation results of the included DLs models.

Background: Ectopic thyroid is a rare developmental disorder, typically found in lingual areas, and most distantly in the abdomen. Thyroid ectopia in multiple regions is extremely rare. To date, there are no reports of ectopic goiter in four regions of the abdominal cavity in a single patient.

Article Synopsis
  • Disrupted blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity can lead to cerebral edema during CNS infections, and this study examined how lipopolysaccharides (LPS) affect tight junction proteins.
  • Human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (hCMEC/D3) were treated with LPS and various inhibitors to assess cell vitality and the expression of specific proteins related to tight junctions.
  • The results revealed that LPS reduces the levels of tight junction proteins occludin and ZO-1 while increasing MMP-2 and activating the p38MAPK and JNK pathways, but this effect can be partly mitigated with specific inhibitors.
