Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is an autoimmune blistering skin disease associated with neoplasms. Clinically, it is characterized by severe mucosal erosions and various cutaneous lesions. Suprabasal acantholysis and cleft with scattered necrotic keratinocytes are the unique histopathological features of PNP. The pathogenic autoantibodies existed in PNP sera, and their production was correlated with the associated tumor. Early detection and resection of the tumor are essential for the treatment of the disease.

Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome, a common cause of recurrent fever in childhood, presents a challenge in both diagnosis and management. While initially considered a monogenic disorder, recent research has highlighted its complex genetic underpinnings, involving noncoding genome regions and immune-mediated cytokine dysregulation. This complexity underscores the need for comprehensive perioperative management strategies, particularly in surgical interventions such as tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.

Ocular surface chemical injuries often result in permanent visual impairment and necessitate complex, long-term treatments. Immediate and extensive irrigation serves as the first-line intervention, followed by various therapeutic protocols applied throughout different stages of the condition. To optimize outcomes, conventional regimens increasingly incorporate biological agents and surgical techniques.

Purpose: To compare outcomes of LLR in VI/VII of the liver in Left-lateral Decubitus Jackknife Position (LDJP) and traditional Supine Position (SP). We used propensity score matching (PSM) to analyze clinical outcomes.
Patients & Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed patients undergoing LLR for liver tumors in segments VI and/or VII at Shandong Provincial Hospital from 2018 to 2023.

There are hundreds of rare syndromic diseases involving hearing loss, many of which are not targeted for clinical genetic testing. We systematically explored the genetic causes of undiagnosed syndromic hearing loss using a combination of whole exome sequencing (WES) and a phenotype similarity search system called PubCaseFinder. Fifty-five families with syndromic hearing loss of unknown cause were analyzed using WES after prescreening of several deafness genes depending on patient clinical features.

Tangerine peel is a traditional Chinese herb and has been widely applied in foods and medicine for its multiple pharmacological effects. Erythropoietin receptor (EPOR), a member of the cytokine receptor family, is widely expressed in multiple tissues in especial kidney and plays protective effects in adverse physiological and pathological conditions. We hypothesized that it might be EPOR agonists existing in Tangerine peel bring such renal benefits.
