A series of 50 Stage I and II, Grade III ductal carcinomas of the breast was characterized by DNA flow cytometry and further analyzed with a monoclonal antibody for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The antigen was detected with the indirect immunoperoxidase technique on paraffin sections and on cytologic smears of the cell suspensions that were used for flow cytometric DNA analysis. A significant higher incidence of CEA-positivity in cytologic smears and tissue sections was found in DNA-diploid tumors (13/18 and 12/18, respectively) than in DNA-aneuploid tumors (13/22 and 12/32, respectively) (P less than 0.05 and P less than 0.025, respectively).

Objectives: To study the predictive role of tumor-associated neutrophils in early luminal HER2-negative breast cancer.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted on 60 women cases aged from 31 to 79 years underwent surgery for luminal HER2-negative ductal breast cancer in tertiary care cancer centre. We first estimated basic morphological signs: tumor size, tumor grade (by Nottingham Histologic Score), tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), Lymphovascular invasion, hormonal receptors status, proliferative index, and regional lymph nodes metastasis.

Aim: Tissue-invasive bacteria have been proposed to be a crucial factor in the etiopathogenesis of periodontitis, with the probable interaction of tissue-invasive bacteria with the innate immune response through inflammasomes, perpetuating periodontal attachment loss. This study aims to reveal the correlation between such tissue-invasive bacteria in upregulating inflammasomes and pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Materials And Methods: This study recruited a total of 10 patients with stage III/IV and grade C periodontitis based on the bone loss to age ratio.

Background/purpose: Salivary microbiome has become a surrogate indicator of oral disease due to its collective reservoirs and convenience in sampling. However, failed clinical trials often lead to wastes of resources, indicating a need for preclinical models. In this pilot study, we aimed to compare the salivary microbiome by metagenomics analysis before and after lysogeny broth culture for prospective translational studies.

Background: Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a surgical procedure with varying degrees of difficulty depending on tumor status and surgical technique. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between surgical difficulty levels and outcomes of LLR, particularly portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
Methods: We performed LLRs in 214 patients between January 2009 and December 2022.
