Article Synopsis
- Thymoma is the most common tumor found in the front part of the chest, and this study focused on identifying prognostic factors for patients who underwent surgery to remove the tumor.
- The research involved 137 patients and tracked their recovery, determining that 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 79.5% and overall survival (OS) was 88.4%.
- Key findings indicated that smoking and tumor size impact PFS, while high neutrophil levels are crucial for determining OS; a nomogram was created to help predict patient outcomes based on these factors.

Methods: Sixty thoraco-laparoscopic esophagectomies in the prone position for esophageal cancer conducted by the same group of surgeons between January 2014 and December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The surgeries were divided into 5 groups, A, B, C, D, and E, in chronological order.
Investigation on the concentrations and the distribution characteristics of total mercury in atmosphere, water surface and soil/ sediments of Hengshuihu wetland was carried out based on a uniform set point sampling method. The geoaccumulation index and potential ecological risk index methods were simultaneously used to assess the mercury pollution in Hengshuihu wetland ecosystem. The results showed that: the total mercury content in Hengshuihu wetland atmosphere ranged from 1.

Objective: To investigate the associations between polymorphisms of organic cation transporter OCTN1/2 (organic cation transporter 1/2) and the susceptibility of Crohn's disease (CD) through a meta-analysis.
Methods: Databases of PubMed, EMBASE, MedLine, and CNKI (Chinese), Wanfang (Chinese) were searched for published case control studies on the association between polymorphisms of OCTN1/2 gene and the susceptibility of CD which were published before September 2012. The meta-analysis was applied with Review Manager 4.
