Identifying risk factors of lateral lymph node recurrence in clinically node-negative papillary thyroid cancer.

There is still debate regarding the role of routine central lymph node (LN) dissection in treating clinically node-negative papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for lateral recurrence after total thyroidectomy and prophylactic bilateral central LN dissection in clinically node-negative PTC patients.We retrospectively collected the medical records of 1406 PTC patients who underwent total thyroidectomy and prophylactic bilateral central LN dissection between January 2004 and December 2008.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Magic Lily ().

Magic Lily (), belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family, is cultivated for ornamental and medicinal purposes. To characterize its genomic information, we obtained the complete chloroplast genome sequence of by assembling Illumina whole genome sequence data. The complete chloroplast genome is 158,482 bp in length which is composed of four unique regions, a large single copy region (LSC) of 86,454 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,500 bp, and a pair of inverted repeats (IR) of 26,764 bp.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Koidz.) Nakai (Asparagaceae).

(Koidz.) Nakai is an herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Asparagaceae family and has become a popular ornamental plant. In this study, the chloroplast genome sequence of was completed by assembly with whole genome sequence data.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Korean and intra-species diversity.

is a traditional medicinal plant well known for its anti-inflammatory effect. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of collected from Korea was obtained by assembly using whole genome sequence data. The chloroplast genome is 155,060 bp in length, containing 88,853 bp in a large single copy (LSC), 18,653 bp in a small single copy (SSC) and 23,777 bp in a pair of inverted repeats (IRs).

Chemical and genomic diversity of six Lonicera species occurring in Korea.

Lonicera spp. (Caprifoliaceae) are important not only as a common medicinal herb in East Asia but also as one of the most problematic invasive species in North America. In the present study, we performed a systemic analysis of genomic and chemical diversity among six Lonicera species occurring in Korea, L.

Lymphovascular invasion can be better than pathologic complete response to predict prognosis in breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) has been a predictor of worse survival outcomes in breast cancer. However, the role of LVI compared than pathologic complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the association between LVI and survival outcomes and clinicopathological features in patients with breast cancer treated with NAC.
