The kinetic features of skin tumors with ductal differentiation (TDD) remain mainly unknown. We selected 88 skin TDD (D-PAS-positive cuticles) classified according to Murphy and Elder's criteria. Tumors studied included 13 poromas, 12 nodular hidradenomas, 10 cylindromas, 6 spiradenomas, 9 syringomas, 9 chondroid syringomas, 7 porocarcinomas, 15 malignant nodular hidradenomas, and 7 not otherwise specified carcinomas. The same tumor areas were evaluated for mitotic figure counting (MFC) and proliferation rate (PR = MIB-1 index), screening 10 consecutive high-power fields (HPFs) in the most cellular areas. Results were recorded by HPF and tumor cellularity, considering both average and standard deviation. Differences were analyzed by Student's t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) and considered significant if p<0.05. PR was significantly higher in malignant (23.29 +/- 12.49) than in benign tumors (3.86 +/- 4.44) and in poromanodular hidradenoma (4.99 +/- 3.34) than in spiradenoma-cylindroma-syringoma (1.91 +/- 1.67), but not by malignant tumor type. MFC was significantly higher in malignant (25.52 +/- 4.10) than in benign tumors (1.57 +/- 0.38), showing porocarcinomas the biggest MFC/10 HPF and malignant nodular hidradenomas the highest MFC/1000 cells. PR and MFC are useful malignancy criteria in skin TDD and should be evaluated by tumor cellularity to avoid potential misinterpretations related with tumor heterogeneity.

Purpose: We developed software that can analyze central lung distance (CLD) and central skin distance (CSD) in deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) irradiation and verified the reproducibility of the DIBH irradiation method in our hospital.
Methods: CLD and CSD were analyzed using In-house software using cine images acquired during treatment; intra- or inter-fractional motion was calculated from the obtained data and compared with other reports using systematic error (ΔΣ) and random error (Δσ).
Results: The ΔΣ and Δσ were 1.

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare congenital clinical syndrome characterized by venous malformations in multiple organs, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and lungs. In June 2022, Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University admitted a rare case of BRBNS. The patient was hospitalized due to abdominal distension and a history of recurrent hematochezia.

The patient is a 66-year-old man. He underwent a total of 9 courses of GCD therapy(gemcitabine+cisplatin+durvalumab)for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with direct invasion of the greater omentum and abdominal wall and surrounding peritoneal dissemination. The tumor had shrunk and was judged to be curative, and laparoscopic hepatic S4a/S5 subsegmentectomy and S6 partial hepatectomy were performed at 8 months after the initial diagnosis.

Introduction And Importance: A terminal extensor tendon disruption, with or without bony avulsion, may lead to a mallet deformity. In most cases, trauma precedes deformity. Non-traumatic causes are less probable.

Historical studies performed nearly a century ago using mouse skin models identified two key steps in cancer evolution: initiation, a likely mutational event, and promotion, driven by inflammation and cell proliferation. Initiation was proposed to be permanent, with promotion as the critical rate-limiting step for cancer development. Here, we carried out whole genome sequencing to demonstrate that initiated cells with thousands of mutagen-induced mutations can persist for long periods and are not removed by cell competition or by immune intervention, thus mimicking the persistence of cells with cancer driver mutations in normal human tissues.
