Serum soluble B7-H4 is a prognostic marker for patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma - Fig 3

Detection of serum soluble B7-H4 in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

<p>The concentration of the soluble B7-H4 in the HDs and the patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma. Sera from 108 renal cancer patients and 108 HDs were diluted 1:10 in PBS and tested by ELISA as described in <a href="http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1000166#s2" target="_blank">Materials and Methods</a>. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test followed by multiple regression analysis (<i>p</i><0.005).</p

Musculoskeletal ultrasound images of the patient with polyarthritis induced by immuno-checkpoint inhibitors.

A. Transverse imaging over the bicipital groove of the right humerus shows tenosynovitis of the long head of the biceps brachii (arrows) with moderate effusion and synovial hypertrophy within the tendon sheath. B. Transverse imaging over the right humeral lesser tuberosity shows prominent power Doppler signals extending from beneath the coracoid process over the subscapularis. The subdeltoid bursitis (arrowheads) and the swelling of the long head of the biceps brachii within the rotator interval (asterisk) can be seen. C. Sagittal imaging over the right dorsal wrist shows synovial hypertrophy at the dorsal recesses of the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints (black arrows). Tendinitis surrounding the extensor tendon can be seen (arrows). D. Sagittal imaging of the anterior knee shows hypoechoic to isoechoic synovial hypertrophy within the suprapatellar recess (arrows). H, humeral head; S, subscapularis; C, coracoid process; Sc. Scaphoid; L, lunate; F, femur; P, patella; Q, quadriceps tendon.</p
