Background/aim: The aim of the study was the analysis of immunohistochemical expression of S100 protein and CD1a by dendritic cells (DCs) from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), correlation with the histological grade, as well as analysis of the potential significance of antigen-presenting cells according to tumor location.
Patients And Methods: Samples were collected from 50 patients with HNSCC, conventionally stained with hematoxylin and eosin for pathological diagnosis and grade, followed by immunohistochemical evaluation with S100 protein and CD1a expression.
Results: The correlation of S100 expression in DCs with histological grading was significant (p=0.049). We also observed a correlation between CD1a expression and histological grading (p=0.016). DCs density was predominantly intratumoral for both CD1a (63% of cases) and S100 protein expression (25% of cases).
Conclusion: Our results demonstrated the association of DCs with histological grade. Their intratumoral infiltration suggests their potential antitumor role.

Department of Pathology, Kitasato University School of Medicine, 1-15-1 Kitasato, Minami-ku, Sagamihara, 252-0374, Kanagawa, Japan.
To investigate the functional role of S100A4 in advanced colorectal carcinoma (Ad-CRC) and locally advanced rectal carcinoma (LAd-RC) receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT). We analyzed histopathological and immunohistochemical sections from 150 patients with Ad-CRC and 177 LAd-RC patients treated with NCRT. S100A4 knockout (KO) HCT116 cells were also used.

Objective: To compare biomarkers of neurovascular unit (NVU) - S100β, NSE, BDNF and indicators of the brain electrical activity in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) depending on the use of different versions of multi-tasking cognitive training (CT).
Material And Methods: The study included 89 people, of whom 47 completed the CTI (postural and three cognitive tasks (counting backwards, verbal fluency and the open-ended task «Unusual use of an ordinary object») and 42 patients, who underwent CTII (visuomotor reaction and the same cognitive tasks) in the early postoperative CABG period. The patients of both groups underwent complex testing of psychomotor, executive functions, attention, short-term memory and EEG study in the perioperative period of CABG.
Diagnostic Accuracy of Novel Protein Biomarkers in Saliva to Detect Periodontitis Using Untargeted 'SWATH' Mass Spectrometry.

Oral Sciences Research Group, Special Needs Unit, Department of Surgery and Medical-Surgical Specialties, School of Medicine and Dentistry, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Health Research Institute of Santiago (IDIS), Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
Aim: To discover new salivary biomarkers to diagnose periodontitis and evaluate the impact of age and smoking on predictive capacity.
Material And Methods: Saliva samples were collected from 44 healthy periodontal individuals and 41 with periodontitis. Samples were analysed by sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra (SWATH-MS), and proteins were identified by employing the UniProt database.
Efficacy of Combined Encorafenib and Binimetinib Treatment for Erdheim-Chester Disease Harboring Concurrent BRAF and KRAS Mutations: A Case Report.

Department of Hematology and Clinical Immunology, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Japan.
Background: Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis with diverse clinical manifestations, often associated with mutations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) pathway. BRAF and KRAS mutations, which are driver mutations of oncogenes, participate in the same signaling pathway (MAPK/ERK pathway) and are usually mutually exclusive. We report a case of ECD with concurrent BRAF and KRAS mutations treated using BRAF and MEK inhibitors.

Aim: We report a case of proliferative myositis (PM) of the breast, which is the second reported in the English literature.
Case Presentation: A 49-year-old woman underwent surgery due to a fibroadenoma in the right and phyllodes tumor in the left breast. One month after these surgeries, a right breast mass rapidly grew at the surgical site, and biopsy did not provide a diagnosis.
