Background: To explore the clinical and laboratory features, therapy and prognosis of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) in the cervical region.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 134 patients who were diagnosed and treated with KFD from January 2000 to May 2022 in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital (Fujian, China). Their clinical characteristics, affected lymph node size, imaging examinations, and laboratory study results were analyzed.
Background: Extranodal natural killer/ T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare malignant tumor. This study aimed to develop a predictive nomogram and a web-based survival rate calculator for dynamically predicting the survival of patients with sinonasal ENKTL (SN-ENKTL).
Methods: This study investigated patients (n = 134) with SN-ENKTL who had been initially treated in our hospital between Jan 2008 and Dec 2016.
Background: Drug-resistant microbes pose a global health concern, requiring the urgent development of effective antibacterial agents and strategies in clinical practice. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore novel antibacterial materials to effectively eliminate bacteria. The synthesis of quaternary phosphonium salt in haloargentate systems, wherein the phosphorus atom is represented in a cationic form, is a possible strategy for the development of antibacterial materials.

Purpose: To explore the clinical and pathological features, therapy and prognosis of Castleman's disease (CD) in the head and neck.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and pathological data of 44 patients with head and neck CD who were diagnosed in the Fujian Medical University Union hospital (Fujian, China) between May 2008 and June 2021. According to the clinical classification, they were divided into two groups, the unicentric CD (UCD, n = 20) and the multicentric CD (MCD, n = 24).
