Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 8, August 2020. BackgroundInterleukin-12 (IL-12) is considered to be a risk factor for cancer; however, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the impacts of the IL-12 rs3212227 and rs568408 gene polymorphisms on HCC.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Chinese Knowledge Infrastructure databases for studies on the associations between HCC and IL-12 rs568408 and rs3212227...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 8, August 2020. The accidental migration (i.e., displacement) of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is a relatively common complication in dental clinical practice. Here, we report the extremely rare nasal cavity migration of a dental implant in a 23-year-old man. Considering the superficial location of the dental implant and the absence of oronasal fistula formation, we attempted to remove the implant via endoscopy, nasal bayonet...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 8, August 2020. Melanotic schwannoma (MS), a slowly growing nerve sheath tumor, is not a purely benign tumor. MS accounts for less than 1% of all nerve sheath tumors. We herein describe a rare case of MS and present a literature review focusing on the treatment of this disease. Twelve years before presentation at our hospital, a 41-year-old woman was examined because of an 8-month history of neck pain and 6-month history of upper extremity...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 8, August 2020. ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to quantitatively assess the association of metallothionein 2A (MT2A) polymorphisms rs28366003 and rs1610216 with cancer risk.MethodsCrude odd ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to estimate associations of the polymorphisms with cancer risk.ResultsSix eligible case-control studies with 1899 cases and 2437 controls focused on rs28366003, and three of those six studies,...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 8, August 2020. Brenner tumor is a rare neoplasm of the vagina. This tumor is diagnosed according to the criteria of ovarian tumors. We report here a 64-year-old postmenopausal woman with a 2.0-cm sessile vaginal polyp for 9 years. Microscopic examination showed unusual features of no gland appearing in the tumor, but the other two characteristic components of transitional islands and dense fibrous stroma were observed. The tumor was diagnosed...
