To explore and analyze the expression of eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 2 (eEF1A2) gene in cervical cancer tissues, its relationship with patient survival, gene mutations, and changes in copy number in cervical cancer and chronic cervicitis tissues. ⋯ The eEF1A2 gene was mutated in cervical cancer tissues. The eEF1A2 gene copy number was not associated with changes in the expression of the eEF1A2 gene in cervical cancer tissues.

Case Reports
Glioblastoma in the contralateral cerebral hemisphere with previous surgery for meningioma: A case report.
Meningioma and glioblastoma (GBM) are 2 common intracranial tumors with different pathophysiologies and prognoses. It is rare for these 2 kinds of tumors to occur in the same patient. Most of the similar cases reported in the literature have been treated with radiotherapy, while cases without radiotherapy are rare. In particular, GBM in the contralateral cerebral hemisphere after resection of meningioma has not been reported. ⋯ The development of GBM without radiotherapy after meningioma surgery is very rare, especially at different sites, and it is necessary to accumulate relevant cases to reveal the causes of the disease and provide more evidence for the treatment of similar patients in the future.

Case Reports
Spontaneous regression of immunoglobulin G4-related dacryoadenitis and multiple organ involvement: A case report.
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related dacryoadenitis is rarely resolved spontaneously without steroids. Here, we report a case of IgG4-related dacryoadenitis and extra-ophthalmic lesions with spontaneous regression. ⋯ Our case indicates that careful observation can be an option in selected cases with risks of steroid treatment or silent clinical course.
