Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of employing the water sac dilation (WSD) method during endoscopy-assisted transoral resection of parapharyngeal space benign tumor (PSBT).
Methods: Between February 2017 and January 2022, a total of 32 patients diagnosed with PSBT were included in this prospective study and were randomly allocated into two groups: the WSD group and the control group. Tumors of the WSD group patients were all dissected using the WSD method.
Results: The final numbers of studied patients in WSD group and control group were 17 and 15, respectively. The basic information was comparable between these two groups of patients. All these patients successfully underwent tumor resection via transoral approach. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, drainage volume on the first postoperative day, drainage duration, and the total drainage volume in the WSD group patients were significantly lower than those in the control group patients (all p < 0.05). No surgical complications occurred, and no residual tumor or recurrence could be identified at 6 months after surgery in both groups of patients.
Conclusion: The application of the WSD method in endoscopy-assisted transoral resection of PSBT effectively attenuated intraoperative injury, improved surgical efficiency, and accelerated postoperative recovery.

Background: Dixon-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) intramuscular proton density fat fraction (PDFF) is a potentially useful imaging biomarker of muscle quality. However, multi-vendor, multi-site reproducibility of intramuscular PDFF quantification, required for large clinical studies, can be strongly dependent on acquisition and processing. The purpose of this study was (I) to develop a 6-point Dixon MRI-based acquisition and processing technique for reproducible multi-vendor, multi-site quantification of thigh intramuscular PDFF; and (II) to evaluate the ability of the technique to detect differences in thigh muscle status between operated .

One of the most extensive forms of natural genome editing occurs in ciliates, a group of microbial eukaryotes. Ciliate germline and somatic genomes are contained in distinct nuclei within the same cell. During the massive reorganization process of somatic genome development, ciliates eliminate tens of thousands of DNA sequences from a germline genome copy.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated windswept deformity (WSD) of the knee, focusing on differences between healthy individuals and those with osteoarthritis (OA).
- It involved a detailed comparison of 500 healthy knees and 710 OA knees to measure significant angles related to knee alignment.
- Results showed that WSD was significantly more common in the OA group, with certain factors like meniscectomy and rheumatoid arthritis being linked to its development. *
Gene-diet interactions in carbonated sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and metabolic syndrome risk: A machine learning analysis in a large hospital-based cohort.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between carbonated sugar-sweetened beverage (CSSB) intake and the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS), considering both genetic factors and dietary habits.
- Analyzing data from 57,940 participants, it categorizes them into low-CSSB and high-CSSB groups, revealing that high consumers also have poorer dietary patterns and higher consumption of unhealthy foods.
- The research highlights that genetic predisposition, assessed through specific genetic markers, interacts with diet type, indicating that tailored dietary recommendations may help reduce MetS risk, especially for those with higher CSSB intake and Western-style diets.
