The diagnosis and treatment of cancer of unknown primary site (CUP) present with difficulties and produce a poor prognosis. The current study presents the case of a patient with CUP in the mandibular region was treated with docetaxel and lobaplatin chemotherapy, and vascular embolization of the tumor. The tumor size was markedly reduced and the patient's quality of life improved following radiotherapy.

- Anti-PD-1 therapy is effective for treating carcinomas but can lead to serious skin adverse effects, including severe bullous skin reactions (SBSR) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).
- A case study is presented where a cervical cancer patient developed SBSR after receiving multiple cycles of Sintilimab and Toripalimab, resulting in severe rashes and complications that ultimately led to death.
- The study highlights the importance for healthcare providers to monitor patients closely for early signs of skin toxicity from anti-PD-1 therapy and to provide timely treatments to prevent severe outcomes.
Background: Ginsenoside Rg1 is regarded as one of main bioactive compounds responsible for pharmaceutical actions of ginseng with little toxicity and has been shown to have possibly neuroprotective effects. However, the mechanism of its neuroprotection for acute ischemic stroke is still elusive. The purpose of present study is thus to assess the neuroprotective effects of the ginsenoside Rg1 against neurological injury in a mice model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), and then to explore the mechanisms for these neuroprotective effects.

Objective: To assess the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging in monitoring the therapeutic effect of argon-helium cryosurgical treatment of malignant tumors.
Methods: Before and after argon-helium cryosurgical treatment, 42 patients underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging, conventional ultrasound imaging and enhanced CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for examining the number of tumor foci and the size of necrotic areas.
Results: A total of 80 tumor lesions were detected by contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging.
