Poorly differentiated chordoma with whole‐genome doubling evolving from a SMARCB1‐deficient conventional chordoma: a case report: AbstractEvolution of poorly differentiated chordoma from conventional chordoma has not been previously reported. We encountered a case of a poorly differentiated chordoma with evidence of whole‐genome doubling arising from a SMARCB1‐deficient conventional chordoma. The tumor presented as a destructive sacral mass in a 43‐year‐old man and was comprised of a highly cellular...
The effects of microglia‐ and astrocyte‐derived factors on neurogenesis in health and disease: AbstractHippocampal neurogenesis continues throughout life and has been suggested to play an essential role in maintaining spatial cognitive function under physiological conditions. An increasing amount of evidence has indicated that adult neurogenesis is tightly controlled by environmental conditions in the neurogenic niche, which consists of multiple types of cells including microglia and astrocytes....
Anatomical Study of the Descending Genicular Artery and Implications for Image‐Guided Interventions for Knee Pain: AbstractIntroductionThe descending genicular artery (DGA) has recently been mentioned as accompanying some nerves in the medial aspect of the knee joint. This could be clinically relevant as the arteries could serve as landmarks for accurate nerve capture during ultrasound‐guided nerve blockade or ablation. The aim of this cadaveric study was to investigate the anatomical distribution...
Protective role of histone deacetylase 4 from ultraviolet radiation‐induced DNA lesions: AbstractUltraviolet B (UVB) exposure is a core factor that leads to skin disease or carcinogenesis through the insufficient repair of DNA lesions. UVB‐induced DNA lesions are mainly removed by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) mechanism. The expression of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) is altered in the skin upon UVB exposure, indicating its possible implication in UVB‐induced DNA lesions repair. Here, we investigated...
Tooth extraction without discontinuation of oral antithrombotic treatment: a prospective study.: AbstractObjectiveTo identify which variable, among those related to surgeries, to patients or to antithrombotic treatments, could be considered as a bleeding indicator, and to analyze effectiveness of the local hemostatic protocols used, incidence of bleeding and healing index, depending on the number of extracted teeth and patient antithrombotic treatment.MethodsPatients who underwent tooth extractions...
Functional tongue and floor of mouth reconstruction with a chimeric flap after total glossectomy: AbstractPurposePresently, the functional reconstruction of the tongue in patients after subtotal or total glossectomy with the removal of the oral floor muscles and spearing of the larynx remains a complicated and unsolved issue. The aim of this case is to describe a method reconstruction of the tongue in patients after total glossectomy with the removal of the oral floor muscles using the chimeric latissimus...
Efficacy of argon‐helium cryoablation andits effects on immune function of patients with neck malignant tumors: AbstractObjectivesOur study aimedto investigate the clinical efficacy of argon‐helium cryoablation and its effects on the immune function of patients with neck malignant tumors.DesignRetrospective study.SettingSingle‐institution academic tertiary care center.MethodsTotally 180 patients harboring head and neck malignant tumors were divided intothe the argon‐helium cryoablation group(n=150)...
Reliability assessment on intravascular photoacoustic imaging of lipid: Ex vivo animal and human sample validation: ABSTACTAlthough the lipid‐detecting IVPA imaging system has been developed in resolution, speed and catheter size, there is no parameterization study of the reliability on the IVPA imaging for lipid diagnosis. Here, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were calculated to assess the reliability of the IVPA imaging of lipid. Abdominal aortas from 6 rabbits with atherosclerosis, were...
Exposure-response assessment of cancer mortality in styrene-exposed boatbuilders: Objectives To improve exposure estimates and reexamine exposure–response relationships between cumulative styrene exposure and cancer mortality in a previously studied cohort of US boatbuilders exposed between 1959 and 1978 and followed through 2016.Methods Cumulative styrene exposure was estimated from work assignments and air-sampling data. Exposure–response relationships between styrene and select cancers were...
Maternal preconception and first trimester exposure to PM10 and the risk of oral clefts in offspring: a population-based, case-control study: Background Current literature describes limited and controversial evidence on the associations between maternal preconception and first trimester exposure to particulate matter with a diameter ≤10 µm (PM10) and the risk of oral cleft (OC).Methods We conducted a case–control study involving 3086 OC cases and 7950 controls, registered in the Maternal and Child...
Occupational exposure to whole-body vibrations and pregnancy complications: a nationwide cohort study in Sweden: Objectives Pregnancy complications are common contributors to perinatal mortality and morbidity. Still, the cause(s) of gestational hypertensive disorders and diabetes are largely unknown. Some occupational exposures have been inconsistently associated with pregnancy complications, but exposure to whole-body vibrations (WBV) has been largely overlooked even though it has been associated...
Maternal occupational exposure to solvents and gastroschisis in offspring: are gene-environment interactions playing a role?: In a recent issue of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, a study by Spinder et al1 reported the results of the association between maternal occupational exposure to solvents and gastroschisis in offspring. Spinder et al found that among 879 cases and 7817 controls, the overall prevalence of periconceptional solvent exposure was 7.3% and 7.4%, respectively, and exposure...
Cynical hostility relates to a lack of habituation of the cardiovascular response to repeated acute stress: AbstractHostility is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Heightened cardiovascular reactivity to psychological stress has been proposed as a potential mechanism. Recent work has emphasized a need to measure cardiovascular reactivity across multiple stress exposures to assess potential habituation over time. The aims of the current study were (a) to examine the relationship...
Frontal alpha asymmetry and emotional processing in youth with psychopathic traits: AbstractEmotional processing deficits are often considered central to psychopathy. There is evidence that those high in psychopathy pay less attention to emotional stimuli, and it is possible that these individuals experience diminished withdrawal motivation or heightened approach motivation in response to emotional stimuli. Studying emotional processing abnormalities, especially among youth, may be essential for...
A prediction modeling based on SNOT-22 score for endoscopic nasal septoplasty: a retrospective study: Background To create a nomogram prediction model for the efficacy of endoscopic nasal septoplasty, and the likelihood of patient benefiting from the operation. Methods A retrospective analysis of 155 patients with nasal septum deviation (NSD) was performed to develop a predictive model for the efficacy of endoscopic nasal...
