Identification of novel immune ferroptosis-related genes associated with clinical and prognostic features in breast cancer.

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, it is critical to identify potential targets and prognostic biomarkers. Ferroptosis combined with immunity shows a pivotal role in a variety of tumors, which provides new opportunities to detect and treat breast cancer. Our first step was to combine multiple datasets to search for immune ferroptosis-related mRNAs.

Clinical investigation on application of water swallowing to MR esophagography.

Objective: To verify the clinical outcomes of applying water swallowing to MR esophagography.

Methods: Thirty patients confirmed postoperatively or histopathologically with thoracic esophageal carcinoma by endoscopic biopsy and 10 healthy volunteers with normal esophagus underwent respectively conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detection and water swallowing MR esophagography. Of those patients, 4 underwent second examination after radiotherapy.
