: The tumor protein D52 (TPD52) family includes TPD52, TPD53, TPD54, and TPD55. The balance between TPD52 and TPD54 expression plays an important role in high-malignant oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. However, the relationship between TPD53 and OSCC cells (particularly low-malignant OSCC cells) remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how periodontal inflammation affects both salivary gland function and the oral microbiome, highlighting the significance of these factors in overall health.
  • In an experimental model with mice, researchers noticed changes in immune cell activity in the salivary glands and alterations in the oral microbiome following induced periodontitis.
  • The findings emphasize a strong connection between oral bacteria, immune responses in salivary glands, and how inflammation can disrupt oral health, providing insights into maintaining oral homeostasis.

Article Synopsis
  • * The research included 707 adults and found that the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 18.8%, with overall survival at 22.0%, and identified key factors affecting outcomes, such as male sex, poor performance status, karyotype risk, and blasts in the blood.
  • * These findings provide valuable insights into the prognosis and treatment strategies for R/R AML, influencing future

Article Synopsis
  • Despite existing research on AI in mammography, there's limited exploration of AI's role in diagnosing challenging cases of metachronous bilateral breast cancer.
  • This study assessed the effectiveness of the AI diagnostic system FxMammo™ in identifying contralateral breast cancer in patients who had already undergone unilateral surgery.
  • Findings showed that the AI system identified 60% of malignancies compared to 50% by radiologists, with some cases diagnosed by AI a year earlier than traditional methods.

Objectives: APOLLO study, 'efficacy and safety of the deodorAnt Pad against Odour and uLceration for LOcally advanced breast cancer', aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of wearing a deodorant pad in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) with an ulceration.

Methods: Komagome Pads were previously developed by Juntendo University and Kao Corporation. In test A, a conventional pad consisting of gauze, a commercially available diaper, pad, etc and the Komagome Pad were compared over 3 days to assess their efficacy and possible improvements for short-term use.
