Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women, and most breast cancer related deaths are due to metastases. Uterine metastases from breast cancer are uncommon and rarely reported in the literature. We described the case of a 50 years-old-woman who developed a uterine metastasis, 6 years after the diagnosis of an invasive ductal breast carcinoma. Indeed, although the patient was asymptomatic, the monitoring imaging examinations, particularly the computed tomography (CT) and the positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), showed a myometrial lesion. Non-conservative total hysterectomy was performed. The anatomo-pathological examination revealed a myometrial metastasis from an invasive ductal breast carcinoma. Seventeen months after surgery, the patient had no pelvic recurrence, but lungs and bones metastases progressed despite chemotherapy. In the lack of guidelines of uterine metastases from breast cancer's management, we reviewed the existing literature with the aim to provide a rational framework for clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, histological findings and treatment of this rare and heterogeneous pathology. Uterine metastases of breast cancer are frequently revealed with metrorrhagia. They occur preferentially in tumours with initial lobular carcinoma, initial lymph node involvement and positive hormonal receptors.Hyperbranched polymers (HBPs), such as hyperbranched polyglycerols (HPGs) with a dendritic configuration, have been recognized for their excellent biocompatibility and multifunctionalization. HPGs have been studied for use in the delivery diagnostic, imaging and therapeutic molecules in the area of nanobiomedicine. They show superior characteristics to linear polymers and dendrimers, such as compact structure, a simple manufacturing process with easy functionalization ability, low viscosity, and high stability. Owing to these advantages, HPGs are now considered promising carriers for drug delivery, diagnostics, imaging, and theranostics applications for cancer treatment. In this review, we also discuss safety aspects of HPG-based nanoformulations in various animal models and the clinical translation status of such polymers for real-time applications.Optimum use of generic products would require equivalence, not only in terms of quality, safety, and efficacy in clinical studies, but also patient acceptability to not jeopardize treatment success because of non-adherence which would de facto limit the potential cost saving anticipated by their use. Although acceptability is a requirement for the authorization of pediatric innovator products, a survey of European Union (EU) regulatory authorities showed that few have a formal process for assessing patient acceptability of generic products during the registration processes. The current International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) focus on unifying guidance for the development and scrutiny of generics but should include acceptability alongside the other factors being considered for harmonization.traumatic cataract is a common complication of ocular contusion. Due to various forms of trauma, its condition and prognosis are also different. Intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the most effective treatment method at present, which can provide cataract patients with good visual quality and near, medium, and far vision. In this study, an adaptive medical ultrasonic image de-noising algorithm was constructed based on the biological vision mechanism and was applied to observe the IOL implantation and postoperative care of 30 patients with traumatic cataract. The results showed that the eyesight could be restored to the original healthy state after the IOL implantation and the eyesight of the patient was close to normal 3 months after surgery. The corresponding noise pixel block of the noise reduction algorithm was obviously the lowest. 30 patients (9 cases with contusion, 13 cases with intraocular foreign body, and 8 cases with perforation) were treated with aspheric and multifocal IOL to achieve the expected effects. In conclusion, the noise reduction algorithm constructed in this study could effectively reduce the speckle noise of ultrasonic images, improve the clarity of ultrasonic images, and realize the effective observation of medical nursing effect after traumatic cataract IOL implantation. After IOL implantation, the retinal nerves of cataract patients were affected to different degrees. Sporadic vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign primary tumor that arises from the vestibular nerve. Growing VS can negatively compress the brain stem, which can lead to death. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can negatively regulate target genes at the post-transcriptional level and are critical in tumorigenesis. Studies have demonstrated the tumor suppressive function of microRNA-205-5p (miR-205) across many cancers, but no studies have evaluated the role of miR-205 in sporadic VS. Cenacitinib We conducted this study to examine the role of miR-205 in sporadic VS cell proliferation. We evaluated miR-205 expression in sporadic VS tissues and normal great auricular nerve by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Then, we transfected miR-205 mimics and control oligonucleotides into sporadic VS primary cells to examine the functional significance of miR-205 expression at a cellular level by CCK8 and colony formation and used dual-luciferase reporter assays to find the target gene of miR-205. We determined that miR-205 levels were downregulated in sporadic VS tissues in comparison to normal controls. In functional assays, miR-205 suppressed proliferation and colony formation ability of sporadic VS cells. CDK14 (cyclin-dependent kinase 14) was identified as a target gene of miR-205 by bioinformatics, and validated using dual-luciferase reporter assays. Moreover, miR-205 overexpression inhibited levels of phosphorylated PI3K and Akt. These findings suggested that miR-205 suppressed sporadic VS proliferation by targeting CDK14 and may be considered as a potential drug therapy for sporadic VS treatment in the future.These findings suggested that miR-205 suppressed sporadic VS proliferation by targeting CDK14 and may be considered as a potential drug therapy for sporadic VS treatment in the future.
