Squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), arising from the skin, head and neck, lungs, esophagus, and cervix, are collectively among the most common cancers and a frequent cause of cancer morbidity and mortality. Despite distinct stratified epithelial tissues of origin, converging evidence points toward shared biologic pathways across SCCs. With recent breakthroughs in molecular technologies have come novel SCC treatment paradigms, including immunotherapies and targeted therapy.

The present research aims to evaluate the feasibility of a deep-learning model in identifying bulbar conjunctival injection grading. Methods: We collected 1401 color anterior segment photographs demonstrating the cornea and bulbar conjunctival. The ground truth was bulbar conjunctival injection scores labeled by human ophthalmologists.

Purpose: To investigate the three-dimensional topographic changes of anterior chamber depth (ACD) following cataract surgery.

Methods: Seventy-eight eyes with age-related cataract undergoing phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were retrospectively enrolled. Participants were evaluated with Pentacam for ACD topography before and approximately four weeks after the surgery.

Clinical Relevance: Understanding the impact of home confinement on axial length in myopic children undergoing orthokeratology (OK) treatment facilitates the management of myopia control during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown.

Background: The outbreak of COVID-19 and the corresponding home confinement measures have brought a considerable challenge to myopia control. The study aimed to investigate the influence of home quarantine on axial length in myopic children with OK treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • Mitochondria are vital for energy production and various cellular functions, particularly in mammalian oocytes, where they are crucial for germ cell development and avoiding inherited disorders.
  • A systematic analysis of oocyte mitochondria was hindered by both the scarcity of oocyte samples and technical issues in studying mitochondrial proteins in live cells.
  • This study utilized proximity labeling proteomics to identify 158 mitochondrial proteins in live mouse oocytes and demonstrated how exposure to the chemotherapy drug cisplatin caused changes in the levels of specific mitochondrial proteins.

Preeclampsia is a multi-system disease that is unique to human pregnancy. Impaired extravillous trophoblast migration and invasion accompanied by poor spiral vascular remodeling is thought to be the initial reason. This study investigated cAMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitor-b(PKIB) expression in placentas and its involvement in the pathogenesis of PE.

The genome of cells is constantly challenged by DNA damages from endogenous metabolism and environmental agents. These damages could potentially lead to genomic instability and thus to tumorigenesis. To cope with the threats, cells have evolved an intricate network, namely DNA damage response (DDR) system that senses and deals with the lesions of DNA.
