Evaluating the adherent perinephric fat risk score in East Asian populations and its correlation with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Background And Aims: This study evaluated the predictive value of the APF risk score in East Asian patients undergoing open nephrectomy and its correlation with hypertension and NAFLD.

Methods And Results: A retrospective study used the clinical data of 82 patients who underwent ON between January 2010 and December 2022. Per their APF score, patients were categorized into groups A (0-2 points) and B (3-4 points).

Advanced bioactive nanomaterials for diagnosis and treatment of major chronic diseases.

With the rapid innovation of nanoscience and technology, nanomaterials have also been deeply applied in the medical and health industry and become one of the innovative methods to treat many diseases. In recent years, bioactive nanomaterials have attracted extensive attention and have made some progress in the treatment of some major chronic diseases, such as nervous system diseases and various malignant tumors. Bioactive nanomaterials depend on their physical and chemical properties (crystal structure, surface charge, surface functional groups, morphology, and size, etc.

A novel necroptosis-related lncRNAs signature for survival prediction in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common kind of kidney cancer with poor prognosis. Necroptosis is a newly observed type of programmed cell death in recent years. However, the effects of necroptosis-related lncRNAs (NRlncRNAs) on ccRCC have not been widely explored.

A big encapsulated adrenal mass with well-circumscribed margin.

We present a case on adrenal schwannomas. The CT shows enhancement of distal adrenal gland lesion. We named it rabbit tail sign.
