This article reports two patients who developed abdominal wall endometriosis(AWE) after cesarean section and had the need for abdominal wall plastic surgery. The problems of AWE treatment and abdominal shape improvement were simultaneously solved through a single combined surgery (abdominal wall plastic surgery + resection of endometriotic nodules), and the follow-up at half a year after the operation presented good appearance.

This study was designed to evaluate ERK5 expression in lung cancer and malignant melanoma progression and to ascertain the involvement of ERK5 signaling in lung cancer and melanoma. We show that ERK5 expression is abundant in human lung cancer samples, and elevated ERK5 expression in lung cancer was linked to the acquisition of increased metastatic and invasive potential. Importantly, we observed a significant correlation between ERK5 activity and FAK expression and its phosphorylation at the Ser
