Multidisciplinary treatment of giant presacral solitary fibrous tumour: a case report and literature review.

Solitary fibrous tumours (SFTs) usually occur at the pleura. Extrapleural sites, particularly giant extrapleural solitary fibromas, are more rarely observed in the clinic, and the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease is a focus of attention. Herein, the case of a 43-year-old male patient with giant presacral SFT successfully treated by open surgery, and with a final diagnosis confirmed by postoperative pathology and immunohistochemistry, is reported.

Preliminary proposal: a classification system for reconstruction with autologous femoral head after periacetabular tumors resection.

Background: Although researchers have adopted various methods for the resection and reconstruction of periacetabular tumors, the total incidence rate of complications remains high. Aiming for preserving the acetabulum and reducing the risk of complications, we applied a surgery method using tumor-free autologous femoral head to reconstruct the defective acetabulum after resection of periacetabular tumors followed by performing a conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA). Moreover, we proposed a preliminary classification system for these surgery methods.

lncRNA-TINCR Functions as a Competitive Endogenous RNA to Regulate the Migration of Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Sponging miR-761.

Mounting evidences have indicated that terminal differentiation-induced lncRNA (TINCR) contributes to various cellular processes, such as proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, migration, invasion, and metastasis. However, the function of TINCR in regulating migration of MSCs is largely unknown. In this study, the effects of TINCR on the migration of rat MSCs from the bone marrow were studied by Transwell assays and wound healing assays.

Cathepsin B-Mediated NLRP3 Inflammasome Formation and Activation in Angiotensin II -Induced Hypertensive Mice: Role of Macrophage Digestion Dysfunction.

Background/aims: Angiotensin II (Ang II) is an octapeptide hormone that plays a significant role in mediating hypertension. Although hypertension is considered a chronic inflammatory disease, the molecular basis of the sterile inflammatory response involved in hypertension remains unclear.

Methods: We investigated the role of macrophage NLRP3 inflammasomes in engulfing and digesting microbes, a key macrophage function, and in early onset of hypertension-associated macrophage injury using biochemical analyses, gene silencing, molecular biotechnology, immunofluorescence, and microbiology.

[Mechanism of lysosome-mediated eradication activity of macrophages on specific anti-Helicobacter pylori of patchouli alcohol].

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of patchouli alcohol in enhancing Helicobater pylori's action in eradicating macrophages and its mechanism. H. pylori was co-cultured with macrophages at a ratio of MOI=100 in different concentrations of patchouli alcohol.
