Pulmonary papillary tumors are usually occur in the upper respiratory tract, and solitary papilloma in the peripheral lung are extremely rare. Lung papillomas sometimes show the elevation of tumor marker or F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake, and are difficult to distinguish from lung carcinoma. Here we report a case of mixed squamous cell and glandular papilloma in the peripheral lung. An 85-years-old man without smoking history had been presented with an 8-mm nodule in right lower lobe in chest computed tomographic (CT) 2 years before. Since the diameter of the nodule increased to 12 mm, and positron emission tomography (PET) revealed an abnormally increased FDG uptake in the mass (SUVmax 4.61). StageIA2 lung cancer (cT1bN0M0) was suspected and wedge resection of the lung to make a definitive diagnosis and for treatment was performed. The definite pathological diagnosis was mixed squamous cell and glandular papilloma.

Introduction: Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a very rare disease, with unique diagnostic challenges and often dismal outcome. There are no widely accepted treatment guidelines available. Lymphoma-like regimens with or without autologous or allogenic transplantation were the cornerstone of most therapeutic concepts.

Mucinous carcinoma of the breast, also known as colloid carcinoma, is an uncommon type of differentiated adenocarcinoma, representing only 2% of all invasive breast carcinomas. It usually occurs in women ≥ 60 years of age. Mucinous carcinoma is characterized by clusters of epithelial tumour cells suspended in pools of extracellular mucin and is further divided in 2 subgroups, pure and mixed.

Background: polysaccharides (BSP) have antioxidant, immune regulation, and anti-fibrotic activities. However, the therapeutic effect and mechanisms underlying the action of BSP in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) have not been fully understood.
Aim: To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of BSP on MASLD by centering on the hepatocyte nuclear factor kappa B p65 (RelA)/hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 alpha (HNF1α) signaling.

Background: The relationship between patient nutritional, immune, and inflammatory status is linked to tumor progression and prognosis. However, there are limited studies on the prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after surgery based on the comprehensive indicators of these factors.
Aim: To develop and validate a novel nomogram based on a nutritional immune-inflammatory status (NIIS) score for predicting postoperative outcomes in ESCC.
