Cases and studies of protruding early gastric cancer (EGC) combined with spontaneous bleeding are relatively rare. The current study present a female patient aged 70 to 75 years old with hemorrhagic shock caused by spontaneous bleeding from EGC type 0-Isp, which was successfully cured by rapid emergency endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore how a single heat stress treatment affects spermatogenic cells in male mice by comparing a control group with a heat stress group.
  • After exposing mice to high temperatures, significant changes were observed in the testicular organ index and morphology, particularly in the arrangement and quantity of spermatogenic cells over 1, 7, and 14 days.
  • The results indicated that while heat stress initially leads to reduced spermatogenic cell numbers and impaired PLZF expression, the spermatogenic cells begin to recover after 14 days, suggesting potential for recovery from heat-induced damage.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of recombinant human anti-mullerian hormone (rhAMH) on Stem Cell Factor (SCF) expression in human granulosa cells (GCs). GCs were obtained from infertile patients undergoing IVF-ET cycles and cultured with 20 ng/ml of rhAMH. The levels of SCF mRNA and protein were detected in both matched and experimental group by real-time PCR, immunofluorescence, and ELISA, respectively, on day 4 of culture.

Myostatin is an important negative regulator of muscle growth and development. Natural mutations of the myostatin gene cause a double muscling phenotype in beef cattle, pigs and sheep. Therefore, it is feasible to produce a high growth domestic breed by generating a transgenic animal with a mutation, deletion or knockout of the myostatin gene.
