Objective: This study evaluates the correlation between the sonographic features and the nodal fine-needle aspiration thyroglobulin (FNA-Tg) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with the recurrent/persistent lymph node for the purpose of the reasonable selection of lymph nodes.

Methods: This study prospectively contained PTC patients with the suspicious cervical lymph nodes in one medical center from April 2018 to January 2019. Each suspected lymph node was aspirated with a 22-gauge needle and the value of FNA-Tg was measured as well.

Despite advances in its treatment, patients diagnosed with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have a poor prognosis. The mechanism of cuproptosis has been found to differ from other mechanisms that regulate cell death, including apoptosis, iron poisoning, pyrophosphate poisoning, and necrosis. Cuproptosis is an essential component in the regulation of a wide variety of biological processes, such as cell wall remodeling and oxidative stress responses.

Background: Aberrant lipid metabolism is an alteration common to many types of cancer. Dysregulation of lipid metabolism is considered a major risk factor for bladder cancer. Accordingly, we focused on genes related to lipid metabolism and screened novel markers for predicting the prognosis of bladder cancer.

The freshwater prawn is one kind of important economic aquaculture species and displays remarkable sexual dimorphism. The molecular mechanism of sexual differentiation in has been primarily unraveled through the research efforts of the androgenic gland and its related genes. However, the understanding of conserved genes involved in the molecular mechanism underpinning sex determination and sexual differentiation of is still fragmentary.

Background: To compare the sampling adequacy and diagnostic efficiency of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration with 22-, 25-gauge needles and capillary sampling with 22-gauge needle in the biopsy of cervical lymph node.

Methods: A total of 130 cervical lymph nodes from 103 patients were consecutively included in the prospective study. Each suspected lymph node was aspirated with a 22-gauge needle, capillary sampled with a 22-gauge needle and aspirated with a 25-gauge needle.

This research investigates the application of high-frequency ultrasound (US) examination and US-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) in diagnosing low-volume metastatic lateral lymph nodes (LLNs) from papillary thyroid carcinoma patients. This study reviewed the medical records of 996 LLNs from 858 patients with suspicious thyroid nodules or after thyroidectomy from January 2013 to January 2016. All patients took US-FNA.
