Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has been widely applied to identify pathogens associated with infectious diseases. However, limited studies have explored the use of mNGS-based dynamic pathogen monitoring in intensive care unit patients with severe pneumonia. Here, we present a clinical case of an 86-year-old male patient with severe pneumonia caused by a fungal infection.

Objective: To explore the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) C and D in gastric cancer and its relationship with tumor angiogenesis and lymph node metastasis.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry(SABC) and real-time PCR were used to detect the expression of VEGF-C, VEGF-D protein and mRNA in 32 gastric cancer tissues and 32 normal gastric tissues.
Results: The positive expression rate of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in gastric cancer tissue was significantly higher than that of normal gastric tissues (P<0.

Objective: To analyze the status quo of the diagnosis and treatments of primary gastrointestinal lymphoma (PGIL) in order to improve it.
Methods: Eighty-one patients with PGIL were analyzed retrospectively including clinical manifestations, endoscopic features, pathological features, HP infection, treatment, and prognosis.
Results: The age of patients with gastric lymphoma was (52.
Objective: To construct implantable engineered liver tissue (ELT) using type I collagen gel as scaffold.
Methods: Type I collagen was obtained from the tail of a rat. Hepatocytes were collected from a Sprague-Dawley rat, mixed with liquid type I collagen and Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium to create hepatocyte/collagen gel construct.
