Overall clinical course of indeterminate dendritic cell tumor patients without skin lesions: A rare case report.

Background: Indeterminate dendritic cell tumor (IDCT) is a rare tumor of immune cells, and IDCT patients without skin lesions are rarely reported. Therefore, the clinical course in this type of patient is unclear, and further research on the underlying pathological mechanisms and appropriate treatments is needed.

Case Summary: This study describes a female IDCT patient with bile duct lesions.

Climate and geochemistry at different altitudes influence soil fungal community aggregation patterns in alpine grasslands.

Fungi represent key ecosystem factors that affect plant growth and development and improve soil structure and fertility. Due to changes in environmental conditions, fungi show strong spatial heterogeneity along altitudinal gradients. Current knowledge of the driving mechanisms and effects of soil fungal community construction at high altitudes is very limited on a regional scale.

[Research progress on nurse effects of shrubs in ecological restoration].

Shrubs are the major components of vegetation in arid and semi-arid areas, and play a pivotal role in maintaining ecosystem stability and function. The nurse effects of shrubs can help with the regeneration of native target plant species by alleviating the adverse influences that limit their growth and reproduction in degraded habitats. We summarized the main research results and application of shrub nurse effects in the last 20 years.

[Effects of alpine meadow degradation on soil carbon, nitrogen, and carbon stable istope in Zoige Plateau.].

To investigate the differences of soil carbon, nitrogen, and carbon stable isotopes in Zoige wetland, we analyzed the abundance of carbon stable isotopes and the contents of carbon and nitrogen in soils of three kinds of retrogressive successional grasslands (swampy meadow, steppe meadow, and degraded meadow). The results showed that the δC values in the meadow soil of Zoige alpine wetland ranged from -26.21‰ to -24.

A Miniaturized Colorimeter with a Novel Design and High Precision for Photometric Detection.

Water quality detection plays an increasingly important role in environmental protection. In this work, a novel colorimeter based on the Beer-Lambert law was designed for chemical element detection in water with high precision and miniaturized structure. As an example, the colorimeter can detect phosphorus, which was accomplished in this article to evaluate the performance.

Primary malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the breast: A case report.

Primary malignant lymphoma of the breast (PLB) is a rare disease. Treatment options include surgical resection, systemic chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy. At present, the optimum treatment combination remains controversial.

TGF-β1 protein expression in non-small cell lung cancers is correlated with prognosis.

To investigate the expression intensity and prognostic significance of TGF-β1 protein in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), immunohistochemistry was carried out in 194 cases of NSCLC and 24 cases of normal lung tissues by SP methods. The PU (positive unit) value was used to assess the TGF-β1 protein expression in systematically selected fields under the microscope with Leica Q500MC image analysis. We found that the TGF-β1 PU value was nearly two-fold higher in NSCLC than in normal lung tissues (p=0.
