Article Abstract
Objective: G1 and G2 colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a group of rare and indolent diseases. We aimed to delineate their genetic characteristics and explore their metastatic mechanisms.
Methods: We used next-generation sequencing technology for targeted sequencing for 54 patients with G1 and G2 colorectal NENs. We delineated their genetic features and compared the genetic characteristics between metastatic NENs and nonmetastatic NENs. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis was utilized to explore their abnormal pathways and study their potential metastatic mechanisms.
Results: We collected 23 metastatic NENs and 31 nonmetastatic NENs. In the whole cohort, the common mutated genes were NCOR2, BRD4, MDC1, ARID1A, AXIN2, etc. The common copy number variations (CNVs) included amplification of HIST1H3D, amplification of HIST1H3E, and loss of PTEN. The KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that PI3K-Akt, MAPK, and Rap1 were the major abnormal pathways. There were significantly different genetic features between metastatic NENs and nonmetastatic NENs. The metastatic NENs shared only 47 (22.5%) mutated genes and 6 (13.3%) CNVs with nonmetastatic NENs. NCOR2, BRD4, CDKN1B, CYP3A5, and EIF1AX were the commonly mutated genes in metastatic NENs, while NCOR2, MDC1, AXIN2, PIK3C2G, and PTPRT were the commonly mutated genes in nonmetastatic NENs. Metastatic NENs presented a significantly higher proportion of abnormal pathways of cell senescence (56.5% vs 25.8%, = .022) and lysine degradation (43.5% vs 16.1%, = .027) than nonmetastatic NENs.
Conclusion: G1 and G2 colorectal NENs are a group of heterogeneous diseases that might obtain an increased invasive ability through aberrant cell senescence and lysine degradation pathways.

"Primary neuroendocrine breast carcinoma (NEBC) is an underdiagnosed subtype of breast cancer, which includes small cell (SCNEC) and large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (LCNEC). Accurate diagnosis remains challenging given their low incidence; misclassification as invasive breast carcinoma of no special type (IBC-NST), invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), or a metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma may occur. Cases with any component of adenocarcinoma and well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors were excluded.

Introduction: Intrahepatic biliary neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare neoplasms originating from neuroendocrine cells in the intrahepatic bile ducts. Patients often present without hormone-related symptoms but are admitted due to jaundice or abdominal pain.
Presentation Of Case: This case report describes a 57-year-old female patient who experienced intermittent upper abdominal pain for one month prior to admission.

In patients with gastroenteric and pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs), the risk of liver metastases is high, but the accuracy of standard imaging for detecting small hepatic nodules is limited. This raises concerns about the adequacy of staging in cM0 patients. This study aims to determine the percentage of cM0 GEP-NEN patients with occult liver metastases that can be identified using intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) during surgery for the primary tumor.

Purpose: A subset of patients with brachial plexus birth injuries experiences a loss of internal rotation, resulting either from neurological paralysis, as a complication of surgical procedures intended to restore external rotation, or because of contractures of the external rotators. Although humeral internal rotation osteotomy can address this deficit, it often results in compromised external rotation. To mitigate this drawback, in supple shoulders, we investigated the pectoralis minor tendon transfer to the subscapularis footprint as an alternative.

Background: Diminutive rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are often treated by local excision, but the presence of regional nodes or distant metastasis is reported in an increasing number of reports.
Methods: We retrospectively recruited 44 patients with rectal NENs below 2 cm. These patients were not suitable for local excision due to invasion of the muscularis propria, involvement of regional lymph nodes or distant metastasis.
