A newly identified pyroptosis-related gene signature for predicting prognosis of patients with hepatocellular cancer.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a very heterogeneous illness, making prognosis prediction a huge problem. Pyroptosis, which has recently been shown to be an inflammatory type of programmed cell death, is involved in HCC. Nevertheless, the role of pyroptosis-related genes in HCC has not been fully elucidated.

Mammotome biopsy system for the resection of breast lesions: Clinical experience in two high-volume teaching hospitals.

Ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) is regarded as a feasible, effective, minimally invasive and safe method for the removal of benign breast lesions, without the occurrence of serious complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided VABB using the Mammotome biopsy system in the treatment of breast lesions. The clinical outcomes of 3,681 patients with breast lesions were evaluated following excisions by ultrasound-guided VABB in two high-volume teaching hospitals.
