Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2020. Blast crisis develops in a minority of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia even in the era of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Reports suggest that we know little about the mechanism of BCR-ABL and AML1-ETO co-expression in blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia, and that other chromosomal abnormalities also coexist. Here, we document an unusual and interesting case of a 51-year-old female diagnosed in the chronic...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2020. Dwarfism is a condition of extreme short stature. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with dwarfism is a very demanding procedure due to their specific joint deformity and small bone size, which increases the technical difficulty of the THA procedure in such patients with hip dysplasia. This current case report describes a 29-year-old female patient that was admitted due to shortening of the right lower limb, as compared...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2020. ObjectiveThe incidence of digestive tract malignancies (DTMs) is increasing, early diagnosis is limited, and treatment effects are unsatisfactory. DTMs express ghrelin, which might be involved in tumor formation and development; whether serum ghrelin can provide useful guidance remains unknown.MethodsSera of healthy individuals were obtained from October 2017 through March 2018; serum samples from patients with gastric (GC),...
