Published: November 2016

Lung cancer is the most common malignancy throughout the world. Non-small cell lung carcinoma is the most common type and squamous cell type is the most common in India. Patients mostly present with chest related symptoms and signs. Isolated skeletal muscle metastasis (ISMM) is rarely seen. We describe a patient who presented with ISMM and hypercalcemia without any pulmonary symptoms.

Since infections associated with microbial communities threaten human health, research is increasingly focusing on the development of biofilms and strategies to combat them. Bacterial communities may include bacteria of one or several species. Therefore, examining all the microbes and identifying individual community bacteria responsible for the infectious process is important.

Zebrafish and medaka are valuable model vertebrates for genetic studies. The advent of CRISPR-Cas9 technology has greatly enhanced our capability to produce specific gene mutants in zebrafish and medaka. Analyzing the phenotypes of these mutants is essential for elucidating gene function, though such analyses often yield unexpected results.

Opportunistic screening is essential to improve the identification of individuals with osteoporosis. Our group has utilized image texture features to assess bone quality using clinical MRIs. We have previously demonstrated that greater heterogeneity of MRI texture related to history of fragility fractures, lower bone density, and worse microarchitecture.

Clinical Nutrition Service Center, Department of General Surgery, Nanjing Jinling Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.

Background: Skeletal muscle remodelling can cause clinically important changes in muscle phenotypes. Satellite cells (SCs) myogenic potential underlies the maintenance of muscle plasticity. Accumulating evidence shows the importance of succinate in muscle metabolism and function.
