Four new species of Orchidaceae from China, , , , and , together with a new country record, , are described and illustrated based on morphological and/or phylogenetic analyses. is closely related to but differs from it by having the dorsal sepal ovate-orbicular and lip mid-lobe distinctly shorter than lateral lobes. is close to but is distinguished from it by having several fascicled and straight, root-like tubers (vs. one or two oblongoid tubers), old stems usually persistent, middle lobe of lip narrowly ligulate-lanceolate and half as long as the lateral lobes (vs. middle lobe deltoid, about a third as long as the lateral lobes or less), a raised callus at the base of each lateral lobe (vs. callus absent), spur gradually attenuate toward the apex (vs. spur clavate). is similar to by sharing small green flowers and lip without a spur, but differs in having a creeping rhizome, a corymbose inflorescence, and a broadly ovate and slightly 3-lobed lip. is similar to in its small flowers, but differs in having a linear leaf c. 3 mm wide (vs. leaf 5-13 mm wide), in the lip having collar-like raised margins on the sides of the spur entrance, and a mid-lobe which is notched at the apex but not divided into two divergent lobules that are nearly as large as the lateral lobes, as in . All the proposed species obtained high support in phylogenetic analysis as new species. The recently described genus is reduced to synonymy of and a new combination is made.

Aim: The tubercle of Zuckerkandl (TZ) is considered to be the fusion point of the ultimabranchial body and the median thyroid body. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of TZ and its relationship with other anatomical variations and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paralysis.

Material And Methods: Data regarding the thyroid lobe and RLN of patients with thyroidectomy between June 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively evaluated.

The limited replicative potential of primary hepatocytes (Hep) is a major hurdle for obtaining sufficient quantity and quality hepatocytes during cell therapy in patients with liver failure. Intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids (ICOs) derived from intrahepatic bile ducts differentiate into both hepatocytes and cholangiocytes . Here, we studied effects of transplanting ICOs and Hep in chronic liver injury mice models.

This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of the airway post-processing technique of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) in Accessory cardiac bronchus(ACB)and to improve the understanding of this disease. The original MSCT axial images and various post-processing reconstructed images of 9 ACB cases were retrospectively analyzed.Airway post-processing techniques, including multi-planar reformation(MPR), minimum intensity projection (MinIP), volume rendering technique(VRT), CT virtual endoscopy(CTVE) and tissue transition projection (TTP), were employed.

The genus Hypolobocera Ortmann, 1897, is represented by 38 species and is distributed in the south-western Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, including the twenty-two registered species for Colombia. We describe and illustrate a new species of Hypolobocera Ortmann, 1897 from the foothills of the Western Cordillera, Antioquia Department, Cauca River basin, Colombia, which increases in this country the number of Hypolobocera species to twenty-three. The species distribution of this genus covers an extensive area of the Colombian territory, including most of Colombia's major river basins.
