Common complications following laparoscopic appendectomy include wound infection, bleeding, intra-abdominal abscess, small bowel obstruction, stump leakage, and stump appendicitis. Here, we presented a case reporting detailing a rare complication following laparoscopic appendectomy: the development of a metastatic neck abscess induced by . A 49-year-old male underwent emergency laparoscopic surgery with prophylactic antibiotic administration for acute appendicitis.

Background: Biglycan (BGN) is a family member of small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycans. High expression of BGN might enhance the invasion and metastasis in some types of tumors. Here, the prognostic significance of BGN was evaluated in gastric cancer.

MiR-195-5p modulates a variety of cancers. One of its target genes, orthodenticle homeobox 1 (OTX1), is believed to be a key modulator of tumor progression.

Background: It has been shown that low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1B () mutations correlate with tumor mutation burden (TMB) and prognosis in patients with melanoma and non-small-cell lung cancer, while the relationship between mutations and TMB in gastric cancer needs further study. This study is aimed at exploring the relationship between mutations and TMB in gastric cancer.
Methods: Mutation frequency profiles of the genes in patients with gastric cancer in TCGA-STAD dataset were analyzed by bioinformatics analysis.
Intensive management of C. oleifera has produced many pure C. oleifera plantations.

Herein, a very facile approach is reported to synthesize carbon dots (CDs) (named MP-CDs) that exhibit multicolor fluorescence (FL), and more remarkably, multicolor long-lived room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) under ambient conditions. The FL and RTP colors of the CDs powder are observed to change from blue to green and cyan to yellow, respectively, with the excitation wavelength shifting from 254 to 420 nm.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFCarbon dots (CDs) with a room temperature phosphorescent (RTP) feature have attracted considerable interest in recent years due to their fundamental importance and promising applications. However, the reported matrix-free RTP CDs only show short-wavelength (green to yellow) emissions and have to be triggered by ultraviolet (UV) light (below 400 nm), limiting their applications in certain fields. Herein, visible-light-excited matrix-free RTP CDs (named AA-CDs) with a long-wavelength (orange) emission are reported for the first time.
