    Abstract Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) at the surface of nuclear membranes play a critical role in regulating the transport of both small molecules and macromolecules between the cell nucleus and cytoplasm via their multilayered spiderweb-like central channel. During mitosis, nuclear envelope breakdown leads to the rapid disintegration of NPCs, allowing some NPC proteins to play crucial roles in the kinetochore structure, spindle bipolarity, and centrosome homeostasis. The aberrant functioning of nucleoporins (Nups) and NPCs has been associated with autoimmune diseases, viral infections, neurological diseases, cardiomyopathies, and cancers, especially leukemia. This Special Issue highlights several new contributions to the understanding of NPC proteostasis.

    Abstract Thyroidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part or all of the thyroid gland. Although the general tenets of surgery have remained the same, improvements in techniques, diagnostics, understanding of anatomy, and technology have allowed thyroid surgery to become a standard, effective, and safe surgery. For surgeons undertaking this procedure, it is imperative to have an in-depth knowledge of critical anatomy and a comprehensive understanding of surgical techniques to perform safe and effective surgery. This article aims to provide an overview of surgical techniques that may be applied in both benign and malignant disease settings.

    Abstract During the past five decades, major technological advances, including availability of imaging techniques such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography scans, have improved accurate assessment of tumors. Major advances in reconstructive surgery with development of microvascular free-flap reconstruction have made one-stage resection and reconstruction a reality, leading to a better quality of life. Multimodality treatments combining chemotherapy with radiation have led to development of organ preservation strategies and improved locoregional control of head and neck cancer.

    Abstract Schwann cells (SCs) are the most abundant cell type in the nerves in the peripheral nervous system and compose a family of subtypes that are endowed with a variety of different functions. SCs facilitate the transmission of neural impulses, provide nutrients and protection for neurons, guide axons in nerve repair, and regulate immune functions. In the context of cancer, recent studies have revealed an active role of SCs in promoting cancer cell invasion, modulating immune responses, and transmitting pain sensation.

    Abstract In the last two decades or so, a spectrum of benign, premalignant and malignant cervical glandular lesions exhibiting gastric differentiation has been described, with gastric-type adenocarcinoma representing the most common human papillomavirus (HPV)-independent cervical adenocarcinoma. More recently, limited literature has reported a variety of gastric-type glandular lesions at other sites within the female genital tract and, as in the cervix (the most common site for these lesions), a spectrum of benign, premalignant and malignant lesions has been proposed. We provide an update and review of the emerging spectrum of gastric-type glandular lesions at female genital tract sites other than the cervix. In the endometrium, putative gastric-type glandular lesions include mucinous metaplasia of gastric-type, atypical mucinous proliferation of gastric-type and gastric-type adenocarcinoma. Similarly in the vagina, gastric-type adenosis, atypical adenosis and adenocarcinoma have been described. There have also been occasional reports of gastric-type lesions involving the ovary and fallopian tube. We provide guidance on how to recognise gastric-type lesions morphologically and immunophenotypically and stress that sometimes these lesions occur at more than one site within the female genital tract (synchronous/multifocal gastric-type lesions of the female genital tract), sometimes in association with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

    Abstract The evaluation of biomarkers by molecular techniques and immunohistochemistry has become increasingly relevant to the treatment of female genital tract tumours as a consequence of the greater availability of therapeutic options and updated disease classifications. For ovarian cancer, mutation testing for BRCA1/2 is the standard predictive biomarker for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor therapy, while homologous recombination deficiency testing may allow the identification of eligible patients among cases without demonstrable BRCA1/2 mutations. Clinical recommendations are available which specify how these predictive biomarkers should be applied. Mismatch repair (MMR) protein and folate receptor alpha immunohistochemistry may also be used to guide treatment in ovarian cancer. In endometrial cancer, MMR immunohistochemistry is the preferred test for predicting benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, but molecular testing for microsatellite instability may have a supplementary role. HER2 testing by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridisation is applicable to endometrial serous carcinomas to assess trastuzumab eligibility. Immunohistochemistry for oestrogen receptor and progesterone receptor expression may be used for prognostication in endometrial cancer, but its predictive value for hormonal therapy is not yet proven. POLE mutation testing and p53 immunohistochemistry (as a surrogate for TP53 mutation status) serve as prognostic markers for favourable and adverse outcomes, respectively, in endometrial cancer, especially when combined with MMR testing for molecular subtype designation. For cervical cancer, programmed death ligand 1 immunohistochemistry may be used to predict benefit from ICI therapy although its predictive value is under debate. In vulvar cancer, p16 and p53 immunohistochemistry has established prognostic value, stratifying patients into three groups based on the human papillomavirus and TP53 mutation status of the tumour. Awareness of the variety and pitfalls of expression patterns for p16 and p53 in vulvar carcinomas is crucial for accurate designation. It is hoped that collaborative efforts in standardising and optimising biomarker testing for gynaecological tumours will contribute to evidence-based therapeutic decisions.

    Abstract This paper highlights the crucial role of phonological instruction in early second language English learning. Although older learners can acquire grammar and vocabulary efficiently, younger learners appear to have a greater facility with the learning of sounds. Thus, it makes good sense to focus on articulatory skills for these early learners. By comparing the developmental norms in phonology between an L1 (Cantonese in this study) and an L2, detailed predictions can be provided to guide the process of early phonological instruction. It is important that the teaching of articulation should not be reduced to non-engaging lessons that can be characterised as 'drill and kill'. Instead, a framework for improving the articulation of children learning English as a second language is proposed. What is unique about this proposal is that it represents the first attempt in Hong Kong to specify and integrate research findings concerning developmental speech norms with existing teaching practice.
