Network module function enrichment analysis of lung squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma.
Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) are the two major subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer that pose a serious threat to human health. However, both subtypes currently lack effective indicators for early diagnosis. ⋯ We found biomarker genes and biological pathways for LUSC and LUAD. These network hub genes are associated with clinical characteristics and patient outcomes and they may play important roles in LUSC and LUAD.

Case Reports
Acquired uterine arteriovenous malformation in a patient with cornual pregnancy: A case report.
Acquired uterine arteriovenous malformation (uAVM) is a rare disease and could occur after dilation and curettage, cesarean section, or neoplastic processes. ⋯ We report an extremely unusual case of acquired uAVM after a wedge resection of cornual pregnancy. Ultrasound evaluation of patients with post-operative persistent bleeding should be considered for evaluation of a possible arteriovenous malformation.

Novel coronavirus pneumonia was first detected in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019. Its widespread infectivity and strong pathogenicity has posed a great threat to public health, seriously affecting social production and life. The disease caused by this virus has been officially named COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) by the World Health Organization (WHO). Tuina (massage) therapy is 1 of the widely employed complementary and alternative medicine interventions in the world. As a useful therapy implemented on human's skin, muscles and joints, tuina (massage) has unique advantages in the field of medicine. This systematic review and meta-analysis will summarize the current evidence of tuina (massage) used as an intervention for COVID-19. ⋯ This proposed systematic review will evaluate the existing evidence on the effectiveness and safety of massage therapy for patients recovering from COVID-19.

Recurrent bowel disease (RBD) refers to the chronic, recurrent intestinal diseases, including recurrent Clostridium Difficile Infection (rCDI), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), etc., these diseases have similar clinical characteristics, that is, abdominal pain, diarrhea, repeated attacks, prolonged recovery, etc. Clinically, there are relevant reports on the use of oral capsule fecal microbiota transplantation (oFMT) to treat RBD. However, both the advantages and disadvantages of clinical efficacy have been reported; there are some contradictions, the study sample size is too small, and the purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral capsule fecal microbiota transplantation in the treatment of RBD. ⋯ This systematic review evaluated the efficacy and safety of oFMT in the treatment of RBD to provide more comprehensive evidence.

Case Reports
Rare finding of duodenal lymphangioma in a patient with Helicobacter pylori associated gastritis: A case report.
Lymphangiomas are lymphatic malformations most commonly found in the head, neck and axilla. Their incidence in gastrointestinal tract, especially duodenum is very rare. They are mostly congenital and are usually seen in children. Owing to their asymptomatic nature, these tumors are often diagnosed incidentally. Surgical resection is the definite treatment. ⋯ The case describes a correlation between H pylori gastritis and a duodenal lymphangioma. There is likely to be an association between the two and therefore, further studies are required to find out any relationship that may exist between the 2 conditions.
