Background Hypopharyngeal cancer is one of the most frequent head and neck cancers associated with a poor prognosis because recurrence metastases. Therefore, there need to improve prognosis, which requires identification prognostic factors elucidation mechanisms involved in tumor progression. Accumulated evidence has demonstrated that cluster differentiation 147 (CD147) strongly expressed malig...

Transcriptome sequencing has become the main methodology for analyzing the relationship between genes and characteristics of interests, particularly those associated with diseases and economic traits. Because of its role of functional food for humans, commercial royal jelly (RJ) and its production are major research focuses in the field of apiculture. Multiple lines of evidence have demonstrate...

Introduction For locally advanced-stage laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer, the total laryngectomy or laryngopharyngectomy can be an option for primary treatment. This is indicated when a partial resection not achievable while obtaining organ function preservation of its through radiotherapy possible.

Introduction Pleomorphic adenoma, also known as mixed tumor, is the most common benign tumor of the major and minor salivary glands. The occurrence of pleomorphic adenoma of the tongue base is very rare, and very few cases have been reported in the literature. Objective The authors present a rare case of pleomorphic adenoma of the tongue base and a review of the literature. Case Report A 55-yea...

An expressed sequence tag (EST) library was established from the hypopharyngeal glands of Apis cerana. Sixty-six recombinant clones, possessing inserts > 500 bp, were randomly selected and unidirectional sequenced. Forty-two of these (63.6%) were identified as homologues of Major Royal Jelly Proteins families 1, 2, 3, and 4 of A. mellifera (AmMRJP) for which MRJP1 was the most abundant family. ...
