    Abstract Coronavirus, discovered in the 1960s, is able to infect human hosts and causes mild to serious respiratory problems. In the last two decades, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been recognized. It has long been demonstrated that MERS-CoV binds to dipeptidyl peptidase 4 and SARS-CoV binds to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. A "cytokine storm" is the main pathophysiology of aforementioned viruses. Infiltration of neutrophils at the site of the infection is a risk factor for the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome and death. The new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, has infected more people than SARS-Cov and MERS-CoV as it can easily be transmitted from person to person. Epidemiological studies indicate that majority of individuals are asymptomatic; therefore, an effective and an efficient tool is required for rapid testing. Identification of various cytokine and inflammatory factor expression levels can help in outcome prediction. In this study we reviewed immune responses in SARS-CoV, Mers-CoV, and SARS-COV-2 infections and the role of inflammatory cells.

    Abstract Background and aims: Placing a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) through ascites carries serious risks, including death from leakage around the LAMS and failure to create a mature fistula between the 2 lumens. However, sometimes no options exist or are equally dangerous. We present 5 patients who underwent LAMS placement despite ascites in 2 different locations.
    Methods: This is a retrospective review of 5 patients who underwent LAMS placement despite ascites in 2 different locations from 2016 to 2018.
    Results: Three patients with cholecystitis and 2 patients with afferent limb syndrome and severe ascites were treated with a combination of preprocedural and intraprocedural paracentesis. Serum ascites albumin gradient was measured. Weight was recorded daily. Patients were encouraged to sleep at an incline, and periodic paracentesis (every 3-7 days) was performed when ascites reaccumulated over 4 weeks. Median volume of ascites aspirated was 2 L preprocedurally and 300 mL intraprocedurally. Only 1 patient had ascites with a high serum ascites albumin gradient and was treated with diuretics. Technical and clinical success was achieved in all 5 patients without any adverse events over a median follow-up of 28 weeks.
    Conclusions: In situations in which no better options remain, LAMS placement appears to be safe after adequate and aggressive treatment of the underlying ascites pre-, intra-, and postprocedurally. Larger studies are needed to establish the safety of this approach.

    Abstract The oral cancer constitutes 48% of head and neck cancer cases. Ninety percent of oral cancer cases are histologically diagnosed as oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs). Despite new management strategies, the 5-year survival rate of oral cancer is still below 50% in most countries. Head and neck cancers are heterogeneous tumors, and this characteristic of them provides a challenge to treatment plan. Due to the poor outcomes in oral cancer, prevention is a necessity. In this review, a relevant English Literature search in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar from 2000 to mid-2018 was performed. All published articles related to oral cancer and its prevention were included. The risk factors of oral cancer and strategies of oral cancer prevention will be discussed.

    Abstract Metastasis means the dissemination of the cancer cells from one organ to another which is not directly connected to the primary site. Metastasis has a crucial role in the prognosis of cancer patients. A few theories, different types of cell and several molecular pathways have been proposed to explain the mechanism of metastasis. In this work, the related articles in the limited period of time, 2000-mid -2018 were reviewed, through search in PubMed, Google Scholar and Scopus database. The articles published in the last two decades related to the biology of cancer metastasis were selected and the most important factors were discussed. Metastasis is critical factor to predict survival in patients with advanced cancer and prognosis determines the treatment plan. Many different cell types and various signaling pathways control the metastatic process. Metastasis is a multistep process. Many signaling pathways and molecules are involved in metastasis. Increasing knowledge about the mechanism of metastasis can help in finding the promising targets of cancer therapy.
