Purpose: To evaluate the effect of adding adjuvant ifosfamide/doxorubicin combination chemotherapy (CTX) to adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) on the survival in patients with surgically treated high-risk soft tissue sarcomas (STSs).
Methods: The study included 69 patients (group A) receiving adjuvant RT and 74 patients (group B) receiving adjuvant CTX after adjuvant RT.
Results: The median relapse-free survival (RFS) was 18.2 months (95% CI, 11.9-43.4) in group A and 27.2 months (95% CI, 17.6-36.8) in group B (p = 0.004). The median overall survival (OS) was 45.6 months (95% CI, 26.4-64.8) in group A and 110.1 mo (95% CI, 44.3-175.8) in group B (p = 0.007). Receiving adjuvant CTX was an independent predictive factor for both RFS [HR: 0.482, (0.307-0.757), p = 0.002) and OS (HR: 0.549, [0.348-0.867], p = 0.010).
Conclusion: There are conflicting literature data regarding the survival benefit of adjuvant CTX for surgically treated STSs. However, appropriate patient selection may provide a significant survival benefit in RFS and OS with CTX in the adjuvant treatment of high-risk STSs.

Introduction: The development of extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBLs) () has become a global threat to public health. An alternative strategy to alleviate this is identifying potential natural compounds to restore antibiotic activity against ESBLs . This study aimed to find a possible compound to restore ESBLs sensitivity to ceftiofur.

Purpose: The prognosis of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type glioblastoma (GBM) with the subventricular zone (SVZ) invasion is extremely unfavorable but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to conduct a retrospective study to mainly investigate the prognostic value of SVZ invasion and MGMT status, and developed a novel clinical prediction model based on our findings.
Methods: 139 patients with IDH wild-type GBM were retrospectively studied.

Background: Primary intracranial sarcomas (PISs) are very rare malignant tumors, and there is paucity of data on it, exclusively in patients <18 years old. We report pediatric PIS at a tertiary hospital in Peru, where the incidence of PIS has increased in recent years.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data in children diagnosed with PIS based on clinical presentation, imaging studies, and histopathology between January 2020 and December 2023.

Thymopentin (TP5) plays an important role in host immunomodulation, yet its bioavailability is significantly limited by its short half-life. YW12D is a peptide with strong stability but relatively weak immunoactivity. Tuning the physicochemical properties of such molecules may yield synthetic molecules displaying optimal stability, safety and enhanced immunological activity.

The study aimed at analyzing the therapeutic effect of salmon calcitonin on patients with lumbar spine fracture after operation. Eighty-eight cases with lumbar spine fracture who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in The Huichang People's Hospital from February 2020 to February 2023 were separated into two groups. The 44 cases in the control group were treated with calcium carbonate and Vitamin D3 tablets, on the basis, the salmon calcitonin was applied to treat the 44 cases in study group.
