Host-directed therapies (HDTs) represent an emerging approach for bacterial clearance during tuberculosis (TB) infection. While most HDTs are designed and implemented for immuno-modulation, other host targets-such as nonimmune stromal components found in pulmonary granulomas-may prove equally viable. Building on our previous work characterizing and normalizing the aberrant granuloma-associated vasculature, here we demonstrate that FDA-approved therapies (bevacizumab and losartan, respectively) can be repurposed as HDTs to normalize blood vessels and extracellular matrix (ECM), improve drug delivery, and reduce bacterial loads in TB granulomas.

Objective: Recent studies have suggested that insulinoma-associated protein 1 (INSM1) is a useful marker for pathological diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors. In the present study, we investigated the association between INSM1 expression and prognosis in patients with olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) and assessed the usefulness of INSM1 as a prognostic biomarker in these patients.

Method: Immunohistochemistry was performed on 109 ONB patients who underwent endoscopic surgery at Beijing Tong Ren Hospital (Beijing, China) between June 2006 and November 2021 Patient age at the time of surgery ranged from 10 months to 72 years (mean age, 43.

Secretory carcinoma (SC) is a recently recognized type of salivary gland tumor characterized by t(12;15) (p13;q25) translocation resulting in an ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion. Most SCs are located in a main salivary gland, and primary sinonasal secretary carcinoma is rare. We describe three cases of primary SC in the sinonasal cavity with high-grade transformation (HGT) in one case, and the first case in the pharynx.

Background: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common tumors of the respiratory tract. Currently, the diagnosis of LSCC is mainly based on a laryngoscopy analysis and pathological findings. Deep-learning algorithms have been shown to provide accurate clinical diagnoses.

Background: The diagnosis of microinvasive laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is not always straightforward and sometimes can be very challenge in daily clinical practice. The focus lies in the confirmation of microinvasion. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), as the major element of reactive tumor stroma, are believed to participate actively in the growth and invasion of tumor cells.

Recently, increasing attention has been paid to the correlation between the expression of downstream of kinase 7 (DOK7) and the occurrence and development of various tumors. In this study, we clarified the effects of DOK7 in breast cancer. First, we showed that DOK7 expression was obviously reduced in the breast cancer tissues and lower levels of DOK7 linked to more aggressive behaviors and worse prognosis of patients.

Sinonasal low-grade non-intestinal-type adenocarcinomas (LG non-ITACs) are uncommon tumors with unclear histogenesis, although they are presumed to arise from seromucous glands or respiratory epithelium. We investigated the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of the tumors, with particular attention to the transition area from the normal epithelium to neoplastic cells and concurrent lesions; these features were compared with those of 10 patients with chronic sinusitis, who served as a control group. Seventeen patients with LG non-ITACs (17 tumors) were enrolled in this retrospective study (9 male patients and 8 female patients; mean age, 48 years [range, 16-74 years]).

Mounting evidence suggests that cancer stemness and immunosuppression are related, but the underlying mechanisms behind these are not clear. We previously reported that the stress granule-associated protein G3BP2 is involved in the regulation of tumor-initiating (stem) cells. In this study, we show that this protein also upregulates the immune checkpoint molecule PD-L1 under conditions of stress in breast and glioblastoma cancer cells, revealing a previously unknown connection between stemness programs, stress responses, and immune checkpoint control.

Background: Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) is an aggressive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with poor prognosis. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy could provide better efficacy in HPSCC treatment. Identification of predictive biomarkers is critically needed to improve selection of patients who derive the most benefit from NACT.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to validate the echogenicity (brightness on ultrasound) of normal parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery using intraoperative ultrasound (US).
  • In 13 patients, 23 parathyroid glands were scanned, showing that 91.3% appeared bright and oval, while a larger group assessed with routine US showed similar findings in 90.5% of glands.
  • The research concluded that normal parathyroid glands show consistent echogenicity in imaging, and some parathyroid abnormalities exhibit identifiable residual tissue on ultrasound, which can be confirmed via histopathology.

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has recently been proposed to be a new clinical entity of nasal disease, with no consensually agreed criteria for diagnosis. Moreover, the pathological features of IgG4-related CRS often overlap with other sinonasal inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) and fungal rhinosinusitis (FRS). We aimed to explore the specific similarities and differences in clinicopathologic features between IgG4-related CRS, and GPA, RDD and FRS, in order that these conditions can be diagnosed more accurately.

Article Synopsis
  • Infantile desmoid fibromatosis is a rare, benign condition characterized by fibrous tissue growth in the postcricoid area, often leading to surgical challenges due to its tendency to recur and local infiltration.
  • A 4-year-old boy with hoarseness and snoring for 2-4 years underwent ultrasound, revealing a lesion that affected laryngeal mobility, ultimately leading to a diagnosis made via surgery and histopathology.
  • Following a local excision to alleviate airway narrowing, the boy experienced improvement in symptoms, but a residual lesion remained stable on follow-up imaging; ultrasonography is recommended as a useful non-radiative imaging tool alongside other methods for managing similar conditions.

Solute carrier family 7, membrane 11 (SLC7A11) or (xCT) is a component of the cysteine-glutamate transporter, which plays a critical role in glutathione homeostasis which is important to protect cells from oxidative stress. SLC7A11 is distributed in various tissues and participates in the occurrence of a number of diseases, particularly in the pathogenesis of malignant tumors, but its role in laryngeal cancer development has not yet been clearly defined. The objective of the present study was to investigate the role of SLC7A11 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).

Aim: To evaluate the effects of lentivirus-mediated pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) gene transfer performed in treatment of rats with established choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and investigates the mechanism by which PEDF inhibits CNV in rats.

Methods: Brown Norway (BN) rats (n=204) were induced by exposure to a laser, and then randomly assigned to 3 groups: no treatment; treatments with intravitreal injection of lentivirus-PEDF-green fluorescent protein (GFP) or lentivirus-control GFP (free fluorescent protein). Following induction and treatment, the CNV tissue was assessed for form, size and vessel leakage by fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA), optical coherence tomography (OCT), histopathology, and examination of choroidal flat mounts.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between ALDH1A1 expression and lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Methods: One hundred and fifty-three paraffin-embedded specimens of PTC treated in the Beijing Tongren Hospital of Capital Medical University were selected from January 2006 to December 2013. The expression of ALDH1A1 was detected in both tumor tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues by immunohistochemistry and several clinicopathological parameters (size, bilaterality, multifocality, tumor border and extrathyroidal extensions) were assessed by HE staining.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are over-expressed in nearly all cancers. To study novel regulatory factors of MMP expression in head and neck cancer (HNC), we screened a total of 636 candidate genes encoding putative human transmembrane proteins using MMP promoter reporter in a dual luciferase assay system. Three genes GPR65, AXL and TNFRSF10B dramatically activated the induction of MMP3 expression.
