Prognostic factors for local recurrence in patients with rectal cancer submitted to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and total mesorectal excision. ⋯ Local recurrence of rectal cancer treated with long-course chemoradiation and total mesorectal excision is low and is associated with pathologic involvement of the radial surgical margin and can be predicted on restaging MRI.

This study investigated the relationship between PDZK1 expression and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) perfusion parameters in High-Grade Glioma (HGG). ⋯ PDZK1 is upregulated in HGG, predicts poor survival, and differentiates tumor grading in HGG patients. PDZK1 expression is correlated with DCE-MRI perfusion parameters.

To study the complications and effectiveness of the treatment of chronic arrhythmias with cardiac Ganglion Plexus (GP) ablation, and to explore the value of the treatment of chronic arrhythmias with GP ablation. ⋯ Left Atrial GP ablation has good long-term clinical results and can be used as a treatment option for patients with bradyarrhythmia.

This study aimed to perform exhaustive bioinformatic analysis by using GSE29221 micro-array maps obtained from healthy controls and Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) patients. Raw data are downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and processed by the limma package in R software to identify Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs). ⋯ Finally, immune infiltration analysis is performed using the Cibersort method. This study has implications for understanding the underlying molecular mechanism of T2DM and provides potential targets for further research.

This study was to investigate the role of serum Klotho, fetuin-A, and Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) in Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) in patients with Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD) and their predictive value for CAC. ⋯ There is a close relationship between Klotho, fetuin-A, and MGP levels in MHD patients and CAC.
