Appearance and morphologic features of laryngeal tuberculosis using laryngoscopy: A retrospective cross-sectional study.

Laryngeal tuberculosis (LTB) is highly contagious and can cause permanent laryngeal damage. Therefore, correctly identifying laryngoscopic LTB lesion locations, sizes, and morphologic features are essential for LTB diagnoses. This study aimed to explore the appearance and morphologic features of LTB and correlated these features with clinical symptoms.

LINC00858 knockdown inhibits gastric cancer cell growth and induces apoptosis through reducing WNK2 promoter methylation.

Background: Emerging evidence indicates a regulatory role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the development of gastric cancer (GC), but the mechanisms underlying their function have remained largely unknown. Recent microarray-based expression profiling has led to the identification of a novel differentially expressed lncRNA, LINC00858, in GC. Subsequently, LINC00858 was found to be highly expressed in GC tissues and cells.

ANKHD1 promotes proliferation and invasion of non‑small‑cell lung cancer cells via regulating YAP oncoprotein expression and inactivating the Hippo pathway.

The ankyrin repeat and KH domain‑containing 1 (ANKHD1) protein was recently reported to be a potential member of the Hippo signaling pathway. However, its role in human non‑small‑cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been extensively investigated. The aim of the present study was to examine the expression of ANKHD1 in primary human tissues and cells and determine whether it is correlated with the clinical characteristics of tumor growth.

Gastric Cancer Cell-Derived Exosomal microRNA-23a Promotes Angiogenesis by Targeting PTEN.

Hypoxia-exposed lung cancer-released exosomal microRNA-23a (miR-23a) has been shown to enhance angiogenesis as well as vascular permeability, contributing to the close correlation between exosomal miR-23a and tumorigenesis. The current study aimed to investigate whether gastric cancer (GC) cell-derived exosomal miR-23a could induce angiogenesis and to elucidate the potential mechanisms associated with the process. Differentially expressed miRNAs in GC were initially screened from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma inside lateral ventricle: a rare case report and literature review.

Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) is a relatively rare, low grade astrocytic tumor that usually affects children as well as young adults. The reported cases were predominantly located superficially in the temporal lobe. To our knowledge, so far only two cases of PXA occurring in lateral ventricle were reported in English literature.

Deep benign fibrous histiocytoma occurring in the kidney: Case report.

Rationale: Deep benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is relatively rare in contrast to superficial BFH involving the skin. Moreover, it was extremely rare for deep BFH occurring in the solid organ. To our knowledge, so far, only one case of deep BFH of the kidney was reported in English literature.

Placental transmogrification of the lung presenting as a peripheral solitary nodule in a male with the history of trauma: A case report.

Rationale: Placental transmogrification of the lung is a very rare lesion which was characterized by the presence of papillae resembling placental villi. Its pathogenesis still remains unclear. Some authors think that this lesion is congenital and related to hamartoma, and others advocate it is secondary change after emphysema.

MST1 inhibits cell proliferation and invasion of non-small-cell lung cancer by regulating YAP phosphorylation and Hippo pathway.

Mammalian ste20-like kinase 1 (MST1) is a Ser/Thr kinase involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and embryonic development. MST1 is also an important member of the Hippo pathway which can regulate organ size and cell proliferation. Growing evidence indicates that MST1 influences cell proliferation through different pathways including Wnt, Akt, JNK, and Hippo pathways in different cells respectively.

Peripheral mucous gland adenoma of the lung with parenchymal involvement and smooth muscle in the stroma: A rare case report and literature review.

Rationale: Mucous gland adenoma is an extremely rare benign tumor predominately presented in central bronchus. Thus far, only six cases located in the periphery have been reported in English literature.

Patient Concerns: Herein, we report a case located in periphery of the lung with parenchymal involvement in a 59-year-old female.

Primary thyroid-like low-grade nasopharyngeal papillary adenocarcinoma: A case report and literature review.

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.

Inversin correlates with the malignant phenotype of non-small cell lung cancer and promotes the invasiveness of lung cancer cells.

Inversin, encoded by NPHP2, is one of the 10 NPHP proteins known to be involved in nephronophthisis (an autosomal recessive cystic kidney). Although the previous reports showed that inversin played an important role in embryonic development and renal diseases, its function in cancer was not revealed clearly so far. As measured by immunohistochemical staining, inversin was highly expressed in the cytoplasm of lung cancer samples (63.

Cerebellar hemangioblastoma with perivascular pseudorosette formation and glial differentiation: A case report.

Hemangioblastoma is a well-circumscribed, highly vascular, lipid-rich and low-grade tumor of uncertain histogenesis. Its histopathological features have been well established. Herein, we present a case of cerebellar hemangioblastoma in a 43-year-old woman.

FBXO25 promotes cell proliferation, invasion, and migration of NSCLC.

FBXO25 is a recently discovered protein that belongs to the Fbx class of the F-box family of proteins, and F-box proteins play a crucial role in tumorigenesis. However, the function of FBXO25 in cancer was not revealed so far. As measured by immunohistochemical staining, FBXO25 was highly expressed in the cytoplasm and nucleus of lung cancer samples (64.

Glomus tumor of uncertain malignant potential of the lung: a case report and review of literature.

Glomus tumor is an uncommon tumor usually presenting in the dermis. Rarely, it occurred in visceral organs including stomach, liver and long. The majority of glomus tumors were benign.

Expression of PHF20 protein contributes to good prognosis of NSCLC and is associated with Bax expression.

Background: Recent studies demonstrate that plant homeodomain finger protein 20 (PHF20), which was initially described as an immunogenic antigen in glioblastoma, is a putative transcriptional factor, and exhibits tumor suppressor activity. However, little is known about its expression and clinical significance in lung cancer.

Methods: We investigated the expression of PHF20 in 142 cases of NSCLC tissue and 30 cases of normal lung tissue by immunohistochemical staining and downregulated PHF20 expression in SPC cell.
