Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of surgery combined with I seed brachytherapy for treatment of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) of the parotid gland and to identify the factors associated with prognosis.
Study Design: We conducted a retrospective analysis of data of patients with CXPA of the parotid gland treated with surgery plus I seed brachytherapy at the Peking University School of Stomatology Hospital between December 2003 and July 2018.
Results: Fifty-five patients (median age, 51 years) were included in the study.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines herb-induced liver injury (HILI) to identify predictors of poor outcomes, particularly chronic liver damage.
- Between 2010 and 2014, data from 488 patients with HILI was analyzed, revealing that 14.1% developed chronic HILI and 4.1% either died or required liver transplants.
- A new prognostic model based on specific clinical factors showed better predictive accuracy for chronic HILI outcomes than existing models, underscoring the significance of latency, peak enzyme recovery, and initial triglyceride and platelet levels.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of YAP/TAZ proteins in the development and growth of keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOT).
- Researchers compared the expression levels of YAP/TAZ and related proteins in normal oral mucosa versus KCOT using immunohistochemistry and PCR.
- Findings indicated higher levels of YAP/TAZ and related genes in KCOT, suggesting these proteins could play a significant role in the tumor's proliferation.
