Abstract Purpose IHC, FISH, and NGS are common methods of ALK evaluation in NSCLC. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether ALK false positives or false negatives occurred more often in daily routines. An approach to identify ALK fusion was then proposed. Materials and methods We analyzed 1815 cases of NSCLC, including 83 (4.6%) ALK IHC...

Objective: To introduce the concept of ambient pressure tympanometry (APT) and its association with pathologies that may present with objective tinnitus. Study Design: Retrospective case series. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Subjects and Methods: Audiologists performed APT on adult patients as part of routine audiological testing. Ears with myoclonus and patulous Eustachian tube (PET) were identified via review of patient history and physical examination. All other conditions...
Hypothesis: 3D technologies, including structured light scanning (SLS), microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), and 3D printing, are valuable tools for reconstructing temporal bone (TB) models with high anatomical fidelity and cost-efficiency. Background: Operations involving TB require intimate knowledge of neuroanatomical structures—a demand that is currently met through dissection of limited cadaveric resources. We aimed to document the volumetric reconstruction of TB models using 3D technologies...

Abstract Cells represent the basic building blocks of living organisms. Accurate characterisation of cellular phenotype, intercellular signalling networks, and the spatial organisation of cells within organs is crucial to deliver a better understanding of the processes underpinning physiology, and the perturbations that lead to disease. Single‐cell methodologies have rapidly increased in scale and scope in recent years and are set to generate important insights into human disease. Here, we review...

Disease is but the most obvious part of an epidemic. As coronavirus spreads, it fuels many other kinds of contagious forces. AN editor’s note: How can anthropology help us to understand the current coronavirus? How do anthropologists respond to news coverage of and data about the spread of Covid-19? We invite anthropologists with expertise on infectious disease, anthropological approaches to epidemic and pandemic threats and “contagion,” zoonotic diseases, and government and health care infrastructure...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been a potential strategy in the pretreatment of pulmonary diseases, while the mechanisms of MSCs-conditioned medium (MSCs-CM) involved with microRNAs on the regulation of lung ion transport are seldom reported. We investigated the role of miR-124-5p in lipopolysaccharide-involved epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) dysfunction and explored the potential target of miR-124-5p. We observed the lower expression of miR-124-5p after the administration of MSCs-CM, and the...
Aims. The aims of this study were to characterize nonatrophic and atrophic gastric mucosa under conventional endoscopy and probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) modes and to define quantitative diagnostic parameters for these lesions under pCLE. Method. In phase I, 64 patients with gastric mucosal lesions diagnosed by gastrointestinal endoscopy were enrolled in the study. Normal mucosa and suspicious lesions were evaluated under normal white light imaging (WLI) and pCLE mode. Descriptive...
Objective. The relationship between serum progesterone and the first trimester pregnancy outcome of threatened abortion is still controversial. Therefore, we aimed to further study the association between these two parameters. Methods. The present study is an observational retrospective cohort study. A total of 726 participants who had threatened abortion from a hospital in Guangdong, China, were included in this study from 17th August 2011 to 30th October 2018. The exposure variable and the outcome...
Background. Percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy (PETD) is regarded as a viable alternative option for upper lumbar disc herniation (LDH). However, few studies have evaluated PETD for upper LDH, and no study has compared the advantages of endoscopic procedures versus conventional surgery. The present study was aimed at comparing the surgical outcome and safety of PETD versus conventional open lumbar discectomy in the treatment of upper LDH. Methods. Data from 42 patients treated for...
Proteins are the most important component in sludge extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and play a crucial role in the formation of sludge flocs, adsorption performance of sludge, and flocculation ability of sludge. This research is aimed at exploring the changes in proteins in EPS extracted from concentrated sludge after various nanoparticle (NP) treatments. The results showed that the protein content in EPS decreased by 40% after nanoalumina (Al2O3 NPs) treatment but increased at varying degrees...
Objective. To construct a predictive signature based on autophagy-associated lncRNAs for predicting prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Materials and Methods. Differentially expressed autophagy genes (DEAGs) and differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were screened between normal and LUAD samples at thresholds of and value

The protocol presents the optimized parameters for preparing thermosensitive liposomes using the staggered herringbone micromixer microfluidics device. This also allows co-encapsulation of doxorubicin and indocyanine green into the liposomes and the photothermal-triggered release of doxorubicin for controlled/triggered drug release.
Nuclear surface spreads are an indispensable tool for studying chromosome events during meiosis. Here we demonstrate a method to prepare and visualize meiotic chromosomes during prophase I from zebrafish spermatocytes.

Abstract Myelin pathologies are an important cause of multifactorial, e.g., multiple sclerosis, and Mendelian, e.g., leukodystrophy, neurological disorders. CNP encodes a major component of myelin and its CNS expression is exclusive to myelin-forming oligodendrocytes. Deficiency of CNP in mouse causes a lethal white matter neurodegenerative phenotype. However, a corresponding human phenotype has not been described to date. Here, we describe a multiplex consanguineous family from...

Nature Communications, Published online: 03 March 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-14695-1Previously only humans and the great apes have been shown to use probabilities to make predictions about uncertain events, and integrate social and physical information into their predictions. Here, the authors demonstrate these capacities in a parrot species, the kea.
Nature Communications, Published online: 03 March 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-14952-3Little is known about von Economo neurons, which have been described in a subset of mammals and appear to be selectively lost in several human neurological diseases. Here, authors reveal the gene expression profile of these cells and show that they are likely long-distance projection neurons.
Nature Communications, Published online: 03 March 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-15001-9Hyperbolic plasmonic surfaces supporting highly directional propagating plasmon-polaritons have been realized in artificial metamaterials.

Nature Communications, Published online: 03 March 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-14965-yMany animals show individual left/right biases in motor behaviour, but underlying neural substrates have proven elusive. Here the authors describe neurons that maintain individual, context-dependent lateralisation of swimming behaviour in zebrafish.

Nature Communications, Published online: 03 March 2020; doi:10.1038/s41467-020-14876-yThe deformation mechanisms of micron-sized twinned metals are well-understood, but it is not so for twinned nanocrystalline metals. Here, the authors use high resolution microscopy to image the deformation of nanocrystalline twinned platinum and show that grain boundary behaviors dominate plasticity below 6 nm.
