Extracorporeal human lymphatic organs are expected to be excellent tools in the study of human molecular and cellular bases of the immunologic balance and tissue harmony. A rational approach and process to design a device and a procedure to recreate the human lymph node environment in vitro is described with emphasis on T-cell activation. Based on this approach, a bioreactor and a process supporting self-assembly of human lymphatic tissues due to proper emulation of human architecture and homeostasis could be developed.

The Added Role of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Staging Uterine Cervical Cancer.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Radiology, University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, Craiova, ROU.
Background: Cervical cancer is considered one of the most common gynecological malignancies with an increased incidence in developing countries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a valuable role in staging cervical cancer and providing valuable information necessary for selecting the appropriate treatment plan, while closely correlating with the prognosis of the patient.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the preoperative loco-regional staging of cervical carcinoma.
Introduction: Invasive Stratified Mucin-producing Carcinoma (ISMC) of the cervix is a newly named cervical adenocarcinoma associated with Human Papilloma virus (HPV). Due to its relative rarity, clinical data, pathological features, and molecular characteristics of ISMC are still under exploration. This study aims to retrospectively analyze the clinical data and pathological features of ISMC patients, summarizing the clinical and pathological morphological characteristics of ISMC.

The First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University, Zhangjiakou, China.
Objective: Extant imaging methods used for the proper identification of the parathyroid glands to prevent post-operative hypothyroidism associated with the resection of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) are limited by factors such as low specificity, high cost, and technical complexity. This study, therefore, sought to investigate the efficacy of the immunocolloidal gold strip method combined with nanocarbon negative imaging tracing technology for parathyroid gland imaging during radical resection of DTC in elderly patients.
Methods: A total of 100 elderly patients with DTC were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups: the control group and the observation group.
Nomogram based on the log odds of negative lymph node/T stage can predict the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer: a retrospective study based on SEER database and external validation in China.
BMJ Open
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, The Tenth Affiliated Hospital, Southern Medical University (Dongguan People's Hospital), Dongguan, China
Objectives: This study investigated the prognostic role of log odds of negative lymph node/T stage (LONT) and established a nomogram based on LONT to predict the prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.
Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Setting And Participants: We enrolled 80 518 CRC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database between 2010 and 2015.
Awake thoracic surgery for lung cancer treatment: where we are and future perspectives-our experience and review of literature.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Thoracic Surgery Unit, Careggi University Hospital, Largo Brambilla, 1, 50134, Florence, Italy.
Background: Lung cancer is the first cause of cancer-related death. Awake lung resection is a new frontier of the concept of minimally invasive surgery. Our purpose is to demonstrate the feasibility of this technique for lobar and sublobar lung resection in NSCLC patients.
