Background: Pancreatic cancer (PCA) is an extremely aggressive malignant cancer with an increasing incidence and a low five-year survival rate. The main reason for this high mortality is that most patients are diagnosed with PCA at an advanced stage, missing early treatment options and opportunities. As important nutrients of the human body, trace elements play an important role in maintaining normal physiological functions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between DNA mismatch repair (MMR) status and the clinical features of colorectal cancer (CRC) in 2029 surgical patients from 2018 to 2020.
  • Significant differences were found between deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) and proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) groups regarding tumor characteristics such as histologic type, TNM stage, and lymph node metastasis.
  • The research highlights that dMMR CRCs often have specific traits like mucinous adenocarcinoma, while showing rare lymph node metastasis, and that MMR protein expression has varying prognostic importance at different disease stages.

Article Synopsis
  • Cholelithiasis, or gallstone disease, is a common health issue linked to gut bacteria, which could be useful for predicting its occurrence.
  • A study collected stool samples from 100 individuals with cholelithiasis and 250 healthy individuals to analyze differences in gut bacteria and construct predictive models.
  • Results showed specific gut bacteria like Escherichia flexneri were more abundant in those with gallstones, and the best prediction model had a sensitivity of 90.48% and specificity of 88.32%, indicating its potential for screening high-risk individuals.*

Humans have adopted many different methods to explore matter imaging, among which high content imaging (HCI) could conduct automated imaging analysis of cells while maintaining its structural and functional integrity. Meanwhile, as one of the most important research tools for diagnosing human diseases, HCI is widely used in the frontier of medical research, and its future application has attracted researchers' great interests. Here, the meaning of HCI was briefly explained, the history of optical imaging and the birth of HCI were described, and the experimental methods of HCI were described.

Microtubules, highly dynamic components of the cytoskeleton, are involved in mitosis, cell migration and intracellular trafficking. Our previous work has shown that the centrosomal protein Cep70 regulates microtubule organization and mitotic spindle orientation in mammalian cells. However, it remains elusive whether Cep70 is implicated in microtubule stability.

Objective: To explore the role of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing in improvement of recognition of cervical intraepithelial lesions (CIN) 2, 3 or cervical cancer confirmed by biopsy in women with abnormal cervical cytology including atypical squamous cells undetermined significance (ASC-US) and low squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL).

Methods: Total 940 patients with abnormal cervical liquid-based cytology including ASC-US and LSIL were included in this study. Hybrid capture II assay was applied in the high-risk HPV detection.
