Myoepitheliomas account for approximately 1.5% of all salivary gland tumors and arise most frequently from the parotid gland. Recently, a new myoepithelioma variant, called mucinous myoepithelioma, has attracted widespread attention. These tumors are recognized as a unique subtype of myoepithelioma, characterized by the presence of abundant mucin. We herein report the findings of an 86-year-old Japanese woman who presented with a hard mass of the right parotid gland behind her right ear which was gradually increasing in size. The patient had undergone a fine-needle aspiration biopsy 4 years earlier, and a cytological evaluation of a biopsy specimen had shown features of pleomorphic adenoma. selleck inhibitor A resection was thus performed and the tissue was found to be an encapsulated, soft and solid mass, and the cut surface was observed to be a capsulated and well-defined tumor lesion with myxoid-looking foci of gray-white coloration. Microscopic examination revealed that this lesion was composed of a proliferation of bland-looking epithelial and myoepithelial cells, arranged in a solid or reticular growth fashion in an abundant myxomatous or hyalinized stroma. These neoplastic epithelial cells had centrally located small nuclei with fine chromatin and abundant clear to eosinophilic cytoplasm, often containing mucin in a uniform pattern. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated the tumor cells to be positive for AE1/AE3, S-100 and mucicarmine. Our findings suggest this case to be one myoepithelioma variant of mucinous myoepithelioma, and more experience related to this myoepithelioma variant is necessary to better understand its biological behavior and make an accurate diagnosis for a proper treatment.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk of femur intertrochanteric fracture associated with femur trochanter major fractures in patients over 65 years of age with magnetic resonance examination for better diagnosis and treatment.

Thirty-one patients who had incomplete femur intertrochanteric fracture diagnosed were included in the study. Patients were classified according to the length of the fracture line crossing the intertrochanteric border. Fracture patterns were described on magnetic resonance imaging coronal views. Group A, pattern 1, greater trochanteric fracture extends to intertrochanteric region with both cortices; Group B, pattern 2, fracture has characteristics of pattern 1 fracture including diametaphysis fracture line; Group C, pattern 3, greater trochanteric fracture only has extending superolateral cortex fracture line of intertrochanteric region; and Group D, pattern 4, fracture has characteristics of pattern 1 fracture and including superior extension to the baso-cervical lie for the treatment because of the procedure safety and early mobilization after the surgery.
This study sought to provide population-based estimates of complete tooth loss and recent dental visits among older adults in the United States by English language proficiency.

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the 2017 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey among participants ⩾50 years of age (n = 10,452, weighted to represent 111,895,290 persons). Five categories of language proficiency were created based on self-reported English language ability and language spoken at home (Spanish, Other).

The prevalence of complete tooth loss was higher among those with limited English proficiency (Spanish speaking 13.7%; Other languages 16.9%) than those proficient in English (Spanish speaking 5.0%; Other languages 6.0%, English only 12.0%). Complete tooth loss was less common among participants for whom Spanish was their primary language, with limited English proficiency relative to English only (adjusted odds ratio 0.56; 95% confidence interval 0.42-0.76). Among those without complete tooth loss, dental visits in the past year were less common among participants with primary language other than English as compared to those who only speak English.

Complete tooth loss varied by English language proficiency among adults aged ⩾50 years in the United States. Suboptimal adherence to annual dental visits was common, more so in those with complete tooth loss, and varied by English language proficiency.

Hospitals and healthcare facilities rely largely on isolation and environmental disinfection to prevent transmission of pathogens. The use of no-touch technology is an accepted practice for environmental decontamination in medical care facilities, but little has been published about the effect of ultraviolet light generated by a portable pulsed-xenon device use on Mycobacteria. We used
which is more resistant to ultraviolet radiation and less virulent than
, to determine the effectiveness of portable pulsed-xenon devices on
in a laboratory environment.

To determine the effectiveness of pulsed-xenon devices, we measured the bactericidal effect of pulsed-xenon devices on


In five separate experiments irradiating an average of 10
organisms, the mean (standard deviation) log-kill at 5 min was 3.98 (0.60), at 10 min was 4.96 (0.42), and at 15 min was 5.64 (0.52).

Our results demonstrate that using pulsed-xenon devices is a highly effective modality to reduce microbial counts with this relatively ultraviolet germicidal irradiation-resistant mycobacterium in a time-dependent manner.

Adoptive immunotherapy with
expanded tumor-specific T cells has potential as anticancer therapy. Preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) is an attractive target overexpressed in several cancers including melanoma and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), with low expression in normal tissue outside the gonads. We developed a GMP-compliant manufacturing method for PRAME-specific T cells from healthy donors for adoptive immunotherapy.

Mononuclear cells were pulsed with PRAME 15-mer overlapping peptide mix. After 16h, activated cells expressing CD137 were isolated with immunomagnetic beads and cocultured with irradiated CD137
fraction in medium supplemented with interleukin (IL)-2, IL-7 and IL-15. Cultured T cells were restimulated with antigen-pulsed autologous cells after 10days. Cellular phenotype and cytokine response following antigen re-exposure were assessed with flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) and supernatant cytokine detection. Detailed phenotypic and functional analysis with mass cytometry and T-cell receptor (TCR) beta clonality studies were performed on selected cultures.
