Intra-tumoral angiogenesis correlates with immune features and prognosis in glioma.

Gliomas are the most common malignant tumor in the brain. As with other tumors, the progression of glioma depends on intra-tumoral angiogenesis. However, the effect of angiogenesis on gliomas is still not fully understood.

Joint Genome-Wide Association Analyses Identified 49 Novel Loci For Age at Natural Menopause.

Background: Age at natural menopause (ANM) is an important index for women's health. Either early or late ANM is associated with a series of adverse outcomes later in life. Despite being an inheritable trait, its genetic determinant has not yet been fully understood.

Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma mimicking pulmonary thromboembolism: A case report.

Rationale: Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma is a rare tumor with exceptionally high mortality and easily misdiagnosed as pulmonary thromboembolism pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) due to the nonspecific clinical presentation and symptom. Misdiagnosis or untimely diagnosis makes the disease progress to an advanced stage and eventually leads to a poor prognosis.

Epidemiology and evolution of novel deltacoronaviruses in birds in central China.

The variety and widespread of coronavirus in natural reservoir animals is likely to cause epidemics via interspecific transmission, which has attracted much attention due to frequent coronavirus epidemics in recent decades. Birds are natural reservoir of various viruses, but the existence of coronaviruses in wild birds in central China has been barely studied. Some bird coronaviruses belong to the genus of Deltacoronavirus.

Effects of on Growth Performance, Meat Quality, Excreta Microbial Populations, and Noxious Gas Emissions in Broiler Chicks.

The current study was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding extracts to the drinking water on the growth performance, meat quality, excreta microbial population, and noxious gas emission in broiler chicks. A total of 544 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used in a 35-d experiment. Broiler chicks were allocated to four treatments with eight replicates, based on a completely randomized design.

X-ray irradiation induced Disabled-2 gene promoter de-methylation enhances radiosensitivity of non-small-cell lung carcinoma cells.

Background: Disabled-2 (Dab2) is known as a tumor suppressor as well as a Wnt pathway inhibitor. We previously reported that Dab2 was down-regulated due to gene promoter hypermethylation in lung cancer. Here, we aim to study if X-ray irradiation can induce de-methylation of the Dab2 gene and subsequently up-regulate its expression, and also to attempt to suppress the malignant biological behavior of and enhance the radiosensitivity in lung cancer cells with hypermethylation of the Dab2 gene.

Primary central nervous system histiocytic sarcoma: A case report and review of literature.

Rationale: Primary central nervous system histiocytic sarcoma (PCNSHS) is a rare lymphohematopoietic tumor with a histiocytic cell origin. To our knowledge, only 28 cases have been published in English and 2 cases in Chinese.

Patient Concerns: A 49-year-old Asian female presented to the hospital with a 2 month history of hypomnesia, odynophagia, and gait disorder.

Primary testicular natural killer/T-cell lymphoma: A CARE-case report and review of literature.

Rationale: Primary testicular natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma is an extremely rare and highly aggressive lymphoid malignancy. At present, only 20 cases have been reported.

Patient Concerns: A 32-year-old Chinese man complained of discomfort and swelling of his right testicle for 3 months.

Marginal zone lymphoma of palatine tonsil with prominent plasmacytic differentiation: A CARE-compliant article and review of literature.

Rationale: The palatine tonsil is an important component of Waldeyer's ring and a site commonly involved by lymphoma. Interestingly, although it is a site of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), primary MALT lymphoma of the palatine tonsil is rare, especially with prominent plasmacytic differentiation.

Patient Concerns: A 59-year-old woman presented to the hospital with a 1-month history of odynophagia.

Rationale: Primary thyroid-like low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma (TL-LGNPPA) is an extremely rare malignant nasopharyngeal tumor with features resembling papillary thyroid carcinoma including nuclear positive expression of thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1).

Patient Concerns: A 64-year-old male presented with nasal bleeding and a foreign body sensation of the nasopharynx. Laryngoscopy revealed a 2.

Radiological presentation of chondromyxoid fibroma in the sellar region: A CARE-compliant article and literature review.

Rationale: Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign bone neoplasm which often occurs in the lower extremities. Little is known about the radiological and histological presentation of CMF in the sellar region.

Patient Concerns: A 16-year-old Asian male presented to the hospital 12 months ago with bilateral diplopia involving right visual fields, intermittent headaches, and dizziness.

Resveratrol inhibits oral squamous cell carcinoma through induction of apoptosis and G2/M phase cell cycle arrest.

The present study was performed to investigate the effect of resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) present as a natural phytoalexin in grapes, peanuts, and red wine on oral squamous cancer cell lines, SCC-VII, SCC-25, and YD-38. MTS assay and flow cytometry, respectively, were used for the analysis of inhibition of cell proliferation and apoptosis. Western blot analysis was performed to examine the effect of resveratrol on the expression of proteins associated with cell cycle regulation.

Investigation of the clinical and radiographic features of osteoarthrosis of the temporomandibular joints in adolescents and young adults.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiographic features of osteoarthrosis (OA) of the temporomandibular joints (TMJOA) in human adolescents and young adults.

Study Design: Patients (n = 4883) with temporomandibular disorders (age, 11 to 30 years) underwent clinical and radiographic examinations. The radiographic findings were classified as erosive bony changes, proliferative changes mainly, including flattening with uneven sclerosis, and osteophytes of the condyle, and bilaterally short condylar processes.
