This study investigated the prognostic impact of lymph node dissection (LND) in patients with stage I ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) and aimed to identify the optimal LND range for improved survival. By analyzing data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database conducted in USA and NUWA database in China, we found that patients who underwent LND in the SEER cohort exhibited significantly improved long-term survival rates compared to those who did not undergo LND, while the difference was not statistically significant in the NUWA cohort. Cox regression and restricted cubic spline analyses indicated an inverted U-shaped association between the number of LNDs and hazard ratios, identifying 29-34 lymph nodes as the optimal range. This finding suggests that performing LND within this specified range may enhance survival outcomes for patients with stage I OEC.

Objectives: To assess the prognostic impact of adequate lymphadenectomy and determine the optimal nodal assessment for different clinical stages of lung cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1214 patients with clinical stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer who had preoperative PET/CT and curative surgery (2006-2017). Patients were categorized based on whether they had adequate [R0] or inadequate lymphadenectomy [R(un)].

B cell depletion is an efficacious therapy for multiple sclerosis, but its long-term safety profile in the gastrointestinal tract has not been specifically studied. This is of importance because the gut is the largest reservoir of IgA in the body, which maintains gut homeostasis in part by regulating the composition of the gut microbiota. This was addressed by development of a prolonged B cell depletion model using human CD20 transgenic mice and B cell depletion with the anti-human CD20 antibodies rituximab, a humanized mouse monoclonal, and 2H7, the mouse precursor to ocrelizumab.

Human clinical trials have reported immunological outcomes can differ between ipsilateral (same side) and contralateral (alternate sides) prime-boost vaccination. However, our mechanistic understanding of how keeping or shifting the anatomical sites of immunization impacts the resultant germinal centers (GCs) and antibody responses is limited. Here, we use an adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 spike vaccine to dissect GC dynamics in draining lymph nodes and serological outcomes following ipsilateral or contralateral prime-boost vaccination in C57BL/6 mice.

Importance: Indocyanine green (ICG)-guided lymphadenectomy has been increasingly used to treat gastric cancer. However, its oncologic impact remains unclear.
Objective: To investigate the effect of ICG tracing on long-term outcomes in patients diagnosed with locally advanced gastric cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

Backgrounds: A growing number of systematic bioinformatics analyses were conducted to investigate the mechanism of interaction between long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and endometrial carcinoma (EC) to predict the prognosis. However, there is no evidence-based evidence that abnormal lncRNA expression is strongly associated with the pathological characteristics and prognosis of EC patients. In this meta-analysis, we systematically evaluated the relationship between upregulated lncRNA expression levels and clinicopathological features, five-year survival rate, and progression-free survival (PFS).
