Abstract There is extensive literature debating whether perceived size is used to guide grasping. A possible reason for not using judged size is that using judged positions might lead to more precise movements. As this argument does not hold for small objects and all studies showing an effect of the Ebbinghaus illusion on grasping used small objects, we hypothesized that size information is used for small objects but not for large ones. Using a modified diagonal illusion, we obtained...

AbstractUterine fibroids represent the most common type of benign tumor of female genital tract with rate of incidence between 20% and 30% in women older than 35 years. According to current bibliography, the percentage is still increasing due to the fact that many women are postponing their reproductive mapping. Laparoscopic morcellation of uterine fibroids and uterus specimen after hysterectomies has great clinical significance, concerning dissemination and implantation of uterine fragments inside...

AbstractPrimary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenoma (PRMC) is a rare tumour. It was first reported in 1965, and since then, less than 100 cases have been reported. It is cystic in nature and most commonly affects the female population. It becomes symptomatic in later stages due to its mass effect, making the diagnosis challenging in its early asymptomatic stage. We report a case of a 32-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain and a mass in left iliac fossa. Diagnostic imaging revealed...

AbstractVentricular septal rupture (VSR) is a serious and fatal mechanical complication after acute myocardial infarction. Emergent or urgent, surgical/transcatheter intervention is necessary to treat VSR, though the outcome is not favorable. We performed temporary pulmonary artery banding (PAB) in an 85-year-old man who presented with chest pain to adjust the shunt flow through the VSR, which prevented further pulmonary edema and delayed the timing of surgical repair. There has been no report showing...

AbstractParapharyngeal space primary neoplasias are infrequent findings in clinics, and schwannoma derived from a peripheral nerve is even rarer in this anatomic area [1]. The presented case is a patient who was referred to our department with a 3 months progressive soft palate enlargement without related symptoms. The challenge, in these cases, due to the anatomic complex area, is to catch a suitable approach to remove the tumor, according to dimension and surrounding structures. Prognosis and follow-up...

AbstractPedicle screws are commonly used in spinal surgeries and are relatively safe, with venous complications occurring rarely. We report a patient with imaging following a L4–5 fusion that showed indentation of the inferior vena cava and right common iliac vein by the right L4 and L5 pedicle screws. She underwent revision surgery in which the hardware was removed and no bleeding was observed. Intraoperative venogram confirmed vascular integrity and absence of indentation on the venous structures...

AbstractWe report a case of a 47-year-old female, with strong preoperative clinical and radiological suspicious of uterine leiomyosarcoma who underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy. Despite the final histology concluded as benign uterine leiomyoma, the loss of fumarate hydratase expression of the same specimen still put her at risk of having hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma syndrome. Intraoperatively, an obstetric vacuum cup was used for uterine manipulation to avoid breaching...

Abstract Abdominopelvic vascular compression syndromes include a variety of uncommon conditions characterized by either extrinsic compression of blood vessels by adjacent anatomical structures (i.e., median arcuate ligament syndrome, nutcracker syndrome, May-Thurner syndrome) or compression of hollow viscera by adjacent vessels (i.e., superior mesenteric artery syndrome, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, ureteral vascular compression syndromes, portal biliopathy). These syndromes...

Purpose: Vincristine combined with camptothecin derivatives showed synergy in preclinical pediatric cancer models and the combinations are effective in treatment of childhood solid tumors. We determined whether the synergy between vincristine and irinotecan extends to eribulin, another microtubule inhibitor. Experimental Design: Vincristine or eribulin, alone or combined with irinotecan, was studied in 12 xenograft models. Tumor regression and time to event were used to assess antitumor activity....

Abstract Myelin and axon loss is associated with cognitive decline in healthy ageing but is worse in people diagnosed with tauopathy. To determine whether tauopathy is also associated with enhanced myelin plasticity, we evaluated the behaviour of OPCs in mice that expressed a human pathological variant of microtubule associated protein tau (MAPTP301S). By 6 months of age (P180), MAPTP301S mice overexpressed hyperphosphorylated tau and had developed reactive gliosis in the hippocampus but had not...

The X-ray repair cross-complementing (XRCC) gene family has been revealed to participate in the carcinogenesis and development of numerous cancers. However, the expression profiles and prognostic values of XRCCs (XRCC1-6) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not been explored up to now. The transcriptional levels of XRCCs in primary HCC tissues were analyzed by UALCAN and GEPIA. The relationship between XRCCs expression and HCC clinical characteristics was evaluated using UALCAN. Moreover, the...

Aim. Connexin 43 (Cx43) has been identified to be important for cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury as well as protection from it. This study was aimed at investigating the relationship between phosphorylated Cx43 (p-Cx43), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/Smad2/3 signaling pathway, and isoflurane postconditioning (ISPOC), which has effects on brain injury in rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was induced in...

The risk of meat contamination with Yersinia enterocolitica poses a threat to consumers and persons who come into contact with bird carcasses. The occurrence of Y. enterocolitica in the vast majority of migratory game species, the capercaillie, and the black grouse has never been studied in Poland, Europe, or in the world. The material for the study consisted of cloacal swabs obtained from 143 Eurasian coots, 50 mallards, 30 pochards, 27 greylag geese, 22 white-fronted geese, 22 bean geese, 20 green-winged...

Background. Immune dysfunction can occur after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and surgery for cancer. We investigated whether preoperative oral carbohydrate affected the postoperative percentages of T cells (CD4+ and CD8+) and natural killer (NK) cells in patients with cervical cancer treated with NAC and surgery. Methods. This prospective cohort study enrolled consecutive patients with cervical cancer treated by radical hysterectomy with PLND at the Gynecologic Oncology Department of Fujian Provincial...

The involvement of immune dysfunction in the pathogenesis of lung cancer has been extensively studied. However, the potential molecular mechanisms through which the tumor immune response affects drug resistance are still unclear. Accordingly, in this study, we evaluated deviations in the immune cell landscape among patients with different stages of lung adenocarcinoma to identify key microRNAs and their targets associated with patient outcomes. CIBERSORT was used for estimating the proportions of...

Purpose. Human papillomavirus (HPV) antigens had been found in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue, but little evidence demonstrates the association of HPV with oncogene mutations in CRC. We aim to elucidate the mutated genes that link HPV infection and CRC carcinogenesis. Methods. Cancerous and adjacent noncancerous tissues were obtained from CRC patients. HPV antigen was measured by using the immunohistochemical (IHC) technique. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HPV-positive and HPV-negative...

Background. Tetanus is a life-threatening disease in developing countries and is accompanied by a high mortality rate. Although China is the world’s largest developing country, there have been few clinical studies on tetanus in China. The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiology, incidence, and management of tetanus in Fujian Province and to understand the current treatment and prognosis of tetanus patients. Methods. This was a retrospective, multicenter observational study of patients...
