Immunotherapy in SMARCB1 (INI-1)-deficient sinonasal carcinoma: Two case reports.

Background: SMARCB1/INI-1 deficient sinonasal carcinoma (SDSC) is a rare subset of sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma with a poor prognosis. Here, we present two case reports of SDSC patients. We also review the literature on this tumor.

Primary seminal vesicle adenocarcinoma with a history of seminal vesicle cyst: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Primary seminal vesicle adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy that is difficult to diagnose.

Case Summary: A 54-year-old man with an 18-year history of a seminal vesicle cyst presented with worsening hematospermia that had persisted for one month. Dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging indicated a mass with a cystic-solid component.

Sensitized TiO2 nanocomposites through HMME linkage for photodynamic effects.

Although TiO2 can be used to effectively generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) for photodynamic application, its absorption in the ultraviolet range makes the excitation harmful to tissue. Based on the concept of a sensitized solar cell, TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) are sensitized by linking with the photosensitizer, HMME, to form HMME-TiO2 nanocomposites (NCs) for demonstrating the photodynamic effects under the illumination of white light. The HMME-TiO2 NCs of different composition ratios are prepared for maximizing the generation of ROS and optimizing the inactivation effect of KB cells.
