Extensive upper respiratory tract sarcoidosis
Extensive upper respiratory tract sarcoidosis: Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology. It can affect any part of the organism, although the lung is the most frequently affected organ. Upper airway involvement is rare, particularly if isolated. Sarcoidosis is a diagnosis of exclusion, established by histological evidence of non-caseating granulomas and the absence of other granulomatous diseases. The authors report a case of a man with sarcoidosis manifesting as a chronic inflammatory stenotic condition of the upper respiratory tract and trachea.

B7-H4 facilitates proliferation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells
through promoting IL-6/STAT3 pathway activation: [image: cover.gif?v=1&s=8b3f6943b778324eb0968d22] Summary B7-H4, one of the costimulatory molecules of B7 family, has been found to be widely expressed in many kinds of tumor tissues and to play an important part in tumor progression and poor prognosis. However, the role of B7-H4 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells has not been elucidated. In this study, we found that, compared with normal esophageal tissue, B7-H4 was highly expressed in three ESCC cell lines, Eca109, TE1 and TE13. Besides, B7-H4 silence suppressed... περισσότερα »
Stereotactic radiosurgery versus whole-brain radiation therapy for patients with brain metastases
Comparative effectiveness of stereotactic radiosurgery versus whole-brain radiation therapy for patients with brain metastases from breast or non–small cell lung cancer: BACKGROUND The optimal treatment for patients with brain metastases remains controversial as the use of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) alone, replacing whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT), has increased. This study determined the patterns of care at multiple institutions before 2010 and examined whether or not survival was different between patients treated with SRS and patients treated with WBRT. METHODS This st... περισσότερα »

Natural killer cell immunotherapy to target stem-like tumor cells: AbstractAdvances in cancer immunotherapy are leading to its increasing and successful application for the treatment of solid–tissue cancers. Despite the recent advances there are still significant barriers, in particular, evidence for significant tumor heterogeneity, both genetic and epigenetic that limit long-term efficacy. Subpopulations of “stem-like” tumor cells have been identified in nearly all human malignancies based on both morphologic and functional criteria.

Immune Checkpoint Blockade with anti-PD-1 Antibody Therapy : Autoimmune Dermatologic Toxicities
A Report on Bullous Skin Eruptions: Abstract Monoclonal antibodies against the immune checkpoint programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1) improve the hosts’ antitumor immune response and have demonstrated tremendous promise in the treatment of advanced solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Reports of serious autoimmune dermatologic toxicities from immune checkpoint blockade therapy, however, are emerging. We report our experience with five patients who presented with pruritic vesicles and blisters on the skin while treated with anti-PD-1 antibody immunotherapy with either nivol... περισσότερα »

The roughness of lip skin is related to the ceramide profile in the stratum corneum: Abstract Objective The structure of skin on the lips is different from skin at other areas of the body, the water content of the stratum corneum (SC) and the barrier function there is low. Therefore, the lips can easily become dry and rough. The SC plays an important role in the barrier and water-holding functions of the skin. Above all, ceramides (CERs) are important SC lipids which maintain SC functions. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between the degree of lip roughness... περισσότερα »

Swallowing Disorders in Severe Brain Injury in the Arousal Phase
Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics of swallowing disorders in severe brain injury in the arousal phase after coma. Between December 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014, eleven patients with severe acquired brain injury who were admitted to rehabilitation center (Male 81.8 %; 40.7 ± 14.6 years) were included in the study. Evaluation of swallowing included a functional examination, clinical functional swallowing test, and naso-endoscopic swallowing test. All patients had swallowing disorders at admission. The first functional swallowing test show... περισσότερα »
