Article Abstract
Background: Thoracoscopic surgery is a primary treatment for lung cancer, with lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection being the predominant surgical approaches for invasive lung cancer. While many thoracic surgeons can proficiently perform lobectomy, thorough and standardized lymph node dissection remains challenging. This study aimed to explore a safer and more efficient surgical method for mediastinal lymph node dissection in lung cancer.
Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted, involving 100 patients with right lung cancer who were admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to April 2024 and met the inclusion criteria. These patients were randomly divided into an observation group (tissue pneumoperitoneum technique around lymph nodes group) and a control group (conventional surgery group). Thoracoscopic lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection were performed. Intraoperative and postoperative related indicators were observed to validate the effectiveness and safety of the tissue pneumoperitoneum technique around lymph nodes.
Results: The observation group showed a significantly shorter lymph node dissection surgery time compared to the control group, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). The number of lymph nodes dissected in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). Although the observation group had slightly more mediastinal lymph node stations dissected than the control group, the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The total drainage volume within three days postoperatively was comparable between the two groups, with no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). The observation group had shorter chest tube indwelling time and postoperative hospital stay than the control group, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). The incidence of surgical complications was similar between the two groups, and there were no perioperative deaths.
Conclusion: The tissue pneumoperitoneum technique around lymph nodes is a more efficient method for mediastinal lymph node dissection in lung cancer, demonstrating safety and feasibility, and is worthy of promotion.

Rosai-Dorfman disease mimicking IgG4-related disease.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare histiocytic disorder that may clinically and histologically resemble IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), especially in the presence of IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration. In this case, a 69-year-old woman with generalized lymphadenopathy, constitutional symptoms, and elevated IgG4 levels was initially suspected to have IgG4-RD based on core needle biopsy. However, further evaluation with excisional lymph node biopsy revealed emperipolesis and S100-positive histiocytes, confirming the diagnosis of RDD.

Enteroinvasive bacterial pathogens are responsible for an enormous worldwide disease burden that critically affects the young and immunocompromised. is a gram-negative enteric pathogen closely related to the plague agent that colonizes intestinal tissues, induces the formation of pyogranulomas along the intestinal tract, and disseminates to systemic organs following oral infection of experimental rodents. Prior studies proposed that systemic tissues were colonized by a pool of intestinal replicating bacteria distinct from populations within Peyer's patches and mesenteric lymph nodes.

Background: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the proliferation of B-cells. Severe hyperleukocytosis is an uncommon presentation that can complicate the diagnosis and management of MCL.
Methods: We present the case of an 80-year-old male patient suffering from MCL, who exhibited symptoms including severe hyperleukocytosis, lymphadenopathy, and significant bone marrow infiltration.
Background: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a benign, self-limited, rare disease that rarely coexists with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
Methods: We reported a case of a young female who presented with recurrent fever accompanied by painful lymphadenopathy, joint pain, and skin rash.
Results: Excisional biopsy of lymph node indicated KFD.

Radiation therapy (RT) plays important roles in cancer treatment, and the efficacy of RT depends on the abscopal effect, which results in the regression of distant and untreated tumors through localized irradiation of a single tumor lesion. This effect is mediated by effector tumor antigen-specific T cells (ETASTs) activated by RT. Monitoring the radiation-induced changes in ETASTs can be used to predict the abscopal effect.
