Residual intravenous foreign bodies following hand trauma are relatively rare; only a few previous reports of this situation are available. It has been reported that foreign bodies often migrate to the heart and atrium dextrum. Herein, we report a recent case of needle breakage in the dorsal vein of the hand that was removed with lignification using an intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopy machine and tape tourniquet to avoid proximal movement during removal.

Perforator flaps are commonly utilized in different flap transplant surgeries, and the thigh flap is presently the most widely used perforator flap. Is it possible for the calf to replace the thigh as a more suitable site for harvesting materials? Currently, there is a lack of relevant anatomical research.

(oak) is an important economic and ecological tree species in the world, and it is the necessary feed for oak silkworm feeding. Chloroplasts play an important role in green plants but the codon usage of oak chloroplast genomes is not fully studied. We examined the codon usage of the oak chloroplast genomes in detail to facilitate the understanding of their biology and evolution.

Yet little is known regarding the global gene expression profile for the CA, although JH signaling pathway has been well-studied in insects. Here, we report the availability of the transcriptome resource of the isolated CA from the final (fifth) instar larvae of the silkworm, Bombyx mori when the JH titer is low.

Here, we reported the complete mitochondrial genome of Guérin-Méneville (1861) collected in Heilongjiang Province, China. The mitochondrial genome is 15,341 bp and encodes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. Sequence comparison identified 22 SNVs in the mitochondrial genomes between Chinese and Korean populations, indicating a low intraspecific variation between the two populations .

In this study, we aimed to construct a metastasis- related mRNAs prognostic model to increase the accuracy of prediction of HCC prognosis.
Methods: Three hundred seventy-four HCC samples and 50 normal samples were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, involving transcriptomic and clinical data.
Backgroud: The accessory tendon of the extensor hallucis longus (ATEHL) muscle is a common abnormal structure, and its clinical significance remains debatable. In this study, we provide the incidence of the ATEHL and characterize its morphological types in Asian cadavers and investigate its clinical applications.
Methods: The tendons from 50 adult cadaveric feet, fixed in 10% formalin, were analyzed.

Here, we report the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Qing_6, an improved strain serving silk production and edible insect resource for 50 years in Northeast China. The circular mt genome spans 15,572 bp in length and contains 37 typical coding genes (13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes). Its A + T-rich region is 552 bp in size exhibiting identical sequence with the first modern improved strain Qinghuang_1.
