gmelinoides fasciatus (stebbing, 1899) is a baikal endemic amphipod that has recently become widespread in eurasia. this species accidentally entered the cooling reservoir of the belovo power plant and became successfully naturalised there. this study describes the peculiarities of g. fasciatus distribution in reservoir sites with different thermal regimes and analyses the environmental factors...

This study evaluated the clinical outcome of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in minute submucosa (SM) invasion or undifferentiated early gastric cancer (EGC) and analyzed factors related to local recurrence after ESD.We retrospectively reviewed the chart of EGC patients, who underwent ESD at our tertiary hospital between January 2009 and 2015. The patients' characteristics and clinical o...

Background: Endometriosis, a gyncological disorder,benign and common cause of infertility, is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma at ectopic locations outside the uterine cavity. Clinical observations have led to the assessment that endometriosis is an invasive disease. Abnormal expression of adhesion molecules such as cadherins is likely to be an important determinant of l...

BACKGROUND After treatment with local excision for TNM stage I low rectal cancer, the risk of local recurrence is not only high for T2 lesions but also for T1 lesions with features of massive invasion to the submucosal layer and/or lymphovascular invasion. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy combined with local excision in the treatment of T1...

BACKGROUND Resectable lung adenocarcinoma is dominated by peripheral distribution, and surgical resection is the main treatment protocol. However, high recurrence rate remains after surgery. Lung adenocarcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation has strong invasion ability, but the effects of this mutation on local invasion in early lung adenocarcinoma have been rarely studie...
