Article Abstract
Introduction: Data that can identify the patients who will not respond to anti-TNF agents are sparse. Therefore, the authors wished to describe specific clinical factors that could be associated with a non-response to any available TNF blockers in patients with psoriasis.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was performed through the mailing of a questionnaire to five departments of Dermatology. Only psoriasis patients who were not responsive to all available anti-TNF agents (etanercept, infliximab and adalimumab), whatever the chronology of their use, were included.
Results: Twenty-two patients were included. Forty patients (64%) did not work at the time of the study and 12 (55%) qualified for Social Security Disability Allowance. Forty patients (64%) were considered as "overweight". Fifty-nine percent of patients were smokers. Antinuclear antibodies were positive in 9 out of 16 patients tested (56%) at the time of non-response. Ustekinumab, which was further introduced in 19 patients, led to PASI 75 in all (94%) but one patient.
Conclusion: The data identified different clinical factors associated with a non-response to any available TNF blockers. Furthermore, non-responder patients were highly responsive to ustekinumab suggesting that in few psoriasis patients, TNF blockade is not the best target and other TNF-independent signaling pathway should be considered.

Purpose: The present study aimed to develop a noninvasive predictive framework that integrates clinical data, conventional radiomics, habitat imaging, and deep learning for the preoperative stratification of MGMT gene promoter methylation in glioma.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 410 patients from the University of California, San Francisco, USA, and 102 patients from our hospital. Seven models were constructed using preoperative contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI with gadobenate dimeglumine as the contrast agent.

Background: Dermal clear cell sarcoma (DCCS) is a rare malignant mesenchymal neoplasm. Owing to the overlaps in its morphological and immunophenotypic profiles with a broad spectrum of tumors exhibiting melanocytic differentiation, it is frequently misdiagnosed as other tumor entities in clinical practice. By systematically analyzing the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypic features, and molecular biological properties of DCCS, this study intends to further enhance pathologists' understanding of this disease and provide a valuable reference for its accurate diagnosis.

Our research aims to ascertain the value of precursor and outgrowth lepidic in aiding the confirmation of multiple lung adenocarcinomas as separate primary lung cancers (SPLC). A total of 151 patients with metachronous multiple invasive adenocarcinomas were included in this study. Driver mutation tests（at least five genes: EGFR, ALK, KRAS, BRAF, and ROS1） were conducted on 302 tumors collected from 151 patients.
