Article Abstract
Objective: Previously, we reported that insulinoma-associated protein 1 (INSM1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed high sensitivity for neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix and was an effective method for histopathological diagnosis, but that its specificity remained to be verified. Therefore, the aim was to verify the specificity of INSM1 IHC for a large number of non-neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) of the cervix.
Methods: RNA sequences were performed for cell lines of small cell carcinoma (TCYIK), squamous cell carcinoma (SiHa), and adenocarcinoma (HeLa). A total of 104 cases of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded specimens, 16 cases of cervical NEN and 88 cases of cervical non-NEN, were evaluated immunohistochemically for conventional neuroendocrine markers and INSM1. All processes without antigen retrieval were performed by an automated IHC system.
Results: The transcripts per million levels of INSM1 in RNA sequences were 1505 in TCYIK, 0 in SiHa, and HeLa. INSM1 immunoreactivity was shown only in the TCYIK. Immunohistochemical results showed that 15 cases of cervical NEN showed positive for INSM1; the positivity score of the tumor cell population and the stain strength for INSM1 were high. Two of the 88 cases of cervical non-NENs were positive for INSM1 in one case each of typical adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The sensitivity of INSM1 for cervical NEN was 94%; specificity, 98%; the positive predictive value, 88%; and the negative predictive value, 99%.
Conclusion: INSM1 is an adjunctive diagnostic method with excellent specificity and sensitivity for diagnosing cervical NEN. Higher specificity can be obtained if morphological evaluation is also performed.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to critically evaluate and synthesize the available evidence on the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the management of mandibular and non-mandibular maxillofacial fractures. A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted up to February 2025 based on predefined inclusion criteria. The risk of bias in randomized controlled trials was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (ROB) tool, while the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was applied to observational studies.

Background: Recurrent 10p15.3 microdeletion syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by abnormal facial features, global developmental delay (DD)/intellectual disability (ID), short stature, hand/foot malformation, and congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, the specific genetic defects that contribute to the cardiac phenotype remain unclear.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is the primary method for cervical cancer screening, but reliable detection depends on adequate sample cellularity. Cycle threshold (Ct) values for the assay's internal control (IC), such as β-globin, are commonly used as proxies for adequacy, yet standardized Ct cut-offs are lacking. We aimed to contribute evidence-based thresholds for sample adequacy using real-world data.

Objective: Reveal the changing rule of the positional relationship between the uncinate process of cervical spine and vertebral artery by measuring the relevant parameters between the uncinate process of cervical spine and vertebral artery in different age groups.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 1240 cases of cervical spine imaging data from 2018 to 2021 in the Radiology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University. The distance between the uncinate process superior ridge and vertebral artery and the maximum of pedicle transverse angle, the minimum of pedicle transverse angle, the range of pedicle transverse angle and the pedicle width were measured according to age groups.
