Review Case Reports
Hyalinising clear cell carcinoma of the lung: A case report and review of literature.
Hyalinising clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) of the lung is a rare tumor, with only 12 reported cases. To improve the differential diagnosis, the aim of this study was to clarify the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotype, and molecular characteristics of HCCC of the lung and relate these to prognosis. ⋯ HCCC is a low-grade carcinoma with excellent prognosis. Tumour necrosis may be a potential risk factor for recurrence and metastasis. Our review of reported cases suggests that regional lymph node dissection combined with lobectomy is a safer treatment than only lobectomy for HCCC of the lung.

When the similarity of medicinal materials is high and easily confused, the traditional subjective judgment has an impact on the identification results. Use high-dimensional features to identify medicinal materials to ensure the quality of Chinese herbal concoction products and proprietary Chinese medicines. ⋯ The GoogLeNet model has a higher classification accuracy and is the best model to achieve real-time. Applying the CNN to the identification of microscopic images of TCM powders makes the operation of TCM identification simpler and the measurement more accurate while improving repeatability.

Meta Analysis
Comparison of dexmedetomidine with midazolam for third molar surgery: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
The analgesic sedation of dexmedetomidine compared with midazolam for third molar surgery remains controversial. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the influence of dexmedetomidine versus midazolam for third molar surgery. ⋯ Dexmedetomidine may obtain the comparable sedation efficacy with midazolam for third molar surgery.

Meta Analysis
Meta-analysis of the effect of entropy-assisted general anesthesia on the quality of postoperative recovery.
To evaluate the effect of the quality of postoperative anesthetic resuscitation in patients with entropy index monitoring assisted general anesthesia versus standard clinical practice. ⋯ The application of the entropy index can improve the recovery quality of patients under general anesthesia, not only shortening the postoperative recovery time but also reducing the occurrence of agitation and PONV. It does not affect the incidence of intraoperative awareness.

Review Case Reports
Cushing syndrome caused by an ectopic ACTH-producing pituitary adenoma of the clivus region: A rare case report and literature review.
Ectopic ACTH-producing pituitary adenoma (EAPA) of the clivus region is extraordinarily infrequent condition and merely a few reports have been reported to date. ⋯ Given the extreme scarcity of these tumors and their unique clinical presentations, it may be possible to misdiagnose and delayed treatment. Accordingly, it is especially crucial to summarize such lesions through our present case and review the literature for their precise diagnosis and the selection of optimal treatment strategies.
