Its unclear etiology and cellular activity brought about the confusion not only in naming of it, but also in diagnosis and treatment.
Case Presentation: We reported the case of an 18-year-old male student who suffered from shortness of breath, chest tightness and chest pain.

Full-length cDNA encoding TWEAK and Fn14 from bovine was isolated. We used bioinformatics to analyze the gene structure, function, evolutionary relationships, and predicted three-dimensional structure of proteins and binding sites. Real-time quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) analysis revealed that both TWEAK and Fn14 are constitutively expressed in various tissues in bovine.

Background: To study the biological effects of multi-electrode radiofrequency ablation on pulmonary tissues of rabbits.
Methods: Under the guidance of computer tomograph, electrodes were inserted into right lungs of New Zealand white rabbits and radiofrequency was performed. The biological effects were observed through CT image and microscopy.

Background: To observe the CT appearance and pathological changes of VX2 tumor in rabbit lung after radio-frequency ablation.
Methods: After VX2 tumor tissue suspension was injected into the lungs, the transplanted lung cancer models were established in 36 New Zealand white rabbits. Twenty-eight rabbits were treated with radio-frequency ablation, and another 8 rabbits without any treatment as control.
