Labrune syndrome (LS) is caused by gene mutations with a particular neuroimaging of white matter disease, intracranial calcification, and cysts. There was no effective treatment until now. An 18-year-old man with infancy-onset LS was first treated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor Bevacizumab for 1 year, resulting in significant clinical and radiological improvements.

Exuberant large T-cell proliferations in Kikuchi disease can potentially be misdiagnosed as lymphoma. In this study, we explore their clinicopathological features and summarize key points that can be used to distinguish them from T-cell lymphoma. The cohort consisted of 25 cases of Kikuchi disease with an exuberant large T-cell proliferation, which, in part, mimicked lymphoma.

Missense mutations of the tumor suppressor Neurofibromin 2 (NF2/Merlin/schwannomin) result in sporadic to frequent occurrences of tumorigenesis in multiple organs. However, the underlying pathogenicity of NF2-related tumorigenesis remains mostly unknown. Here we found that NF2 facilitated innate immunity by regulating YAP/TAZ-mediated TBK1 inhibition.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze and evaluate the feasibility of using carbon nanoparticles (CNs) to track lymph nodes (LNs) metastases in right colon tumors, especially for patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted radical right hemicolectomy.

Method: A total of 99 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study between November 2015 and September 2017 (control group n = 47). One day before surgery, 1 ml of CNs suspension was injected into the submucosal layer around the site of the primary lesions by colonoscopy.
