It has been noted that the right recurrent nerve travels differently in patients with a duplicated aortic arch and may be in close proximity to the area of superior mediastinal lymph node dissection in lung cancer. We report a surgical case of a patient with right middle lung cancer associated with a duplicated aortic arch.

Background: A better understanding of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) will facilitate the development of prognostic biomarkers and more effective therapeutic strategies in patients with lung cancer. However, little has been reported on the comprehensive evaluation of complex interactions among cancer cells, immune cells, and local immunosuppressive elements in the TIME.

Methods: Whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing were carried out on 113 lung cancers.

Reproductive isolation poses a major obstacle to wide hybridization and introgression breeding of plants. Hybrid inviability in the postzygotic isolation barrier inevitably reduces hybrid fitness, consequently causing hindrances in the establishment of novel genotypes from the hybrids among genetically divergent parents. The idea that the plant immune system is involved in the hybrid problem is applicable to the intra- and/or interspecific hybrids of many different taxa.
