Article Abstract
Radiotherapy is commonly used in the curative treatment of head and neck cancers, serving both definitive and adjuvant roles. As oncologic outcomes improve, there is a rising occurrence of second malignancies among long-term survivors of these cancers. Radiation-induced osteosarcoma (RIOS) is an uncommon malignancy that emerges as a late consequence of radiotherapy. It usually develops within the irradiated area with a latency period of 5 to 20 years after treatment completion. However, cases of RIOS manifesting within a much shorter latency period, such as 2 years, are sporadic and highly atypical. This report presents a case of RIOS, highlighting the clinical course, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies of this aggressive secondary malignancy.

: Gamma irradiation is a promising terminal sterilization method for nanoparticle-based biomedical systems. However, its potential effects on the physicochemical properties and biological performance of multifunctional nanomaterials must be carefully evaluated. This study aimed to assess the structural integrity, sterility, and cytocompatibility of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and bioactive-glass-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPBGs), both based on magnetite (FeO), after gamma irradiation.

With the wide application of radiation therapy for malignant tumors and the continuous improvement of comprehensive treatment effect, the survival period of patients has been prolonged, while the incidence of radiation-induced osteosarcoma (RIOS) has gradually increased. Compared with primary osteosarcoma, RIOS has a higher degree of malignancy and poorer prognosis, severely impacting patient survival. Currently, there are relatively few case reports on RIOS and the understanding of its imaging characteristics remains incomplete.

Background: Azoospermia, characterized by the absence of sperm in the ejaculate, impacts 1% of men globally. Surgical approaches to retrieve sperm from the testis are effective in some cases but can be invasive and expensive. Here we described a noninvasive ultrasound-guided rete testis (UGRT) approach to retrieve sperm from the testes or infuse stem cells into the testes of men with azoospermia.
