Background: The diagnosis of primary small intestinal lymphoma (PSIL) is difficult. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical, radiological and endoscopic characteristics of PSIL and provide clue for diagnosis.
Methods: A total of 30 patients diagnosed with PSIL who underwent double balloon endoscopy (DBE) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University were retrospectively analyzed.
Background: Biglycan (BGN) is a small leucine-rich proteoglycan that participates in the production of excess extracellular matrix (ECM) and is related to fibrosis in many organs. However, the role of BGN in liver fibrosis remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of BGN in liver fibrosis.

Current systemic therapies for melanoma exhibit limited anticancer potential due to the lack of specificity and limited efficacy. Herein, we design a cationic polymer (SCP-HA-PAE) by conjugating skin/cell penetrating peptide (SCP) and hyaluronic acid (HA) to the amphipathic polymer (poly β-amino esters, PAE), then fabricate the nanocarriers (SHP) composed by SCP-HA-PAE for delivering siRNA to skin melanoma by transdermal application.
