Background: In critical care medicine, mesenteric ischemia (MI) is a life-threatening disease that can be present in both critically ill patients and those undergoing major surgery. For the first time, we report a case of concealed MI with a long course after knee arthroplasty.
Case Summary: A male patient underwent left total knee arthroplasty for gouty arthritis and developed a persistent fever and persistently high levels of serum infection markers after surgery.
Background: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a rare disease of unclear cause characterized by subchondral bone damage and overlying cartilage defects. The current report presents the results of subchondral bone as a novel target for implantation of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) in the treatment of OCD.
Case Summary: A 16-year-old patient diagnosed with OCD underwent subchondral bone implantation of PBSCs.
Past studies have shown that the Src homology 2-containing inositol 5-phosphatase 2 (SHIP2) is commonly downregulated in gastric cancer, which contributes to elevated activation of PI3K/Akt signaling, proliferation and tumorigenesis of gastric cancer cells. However, the mechanisms underlying the reduced expression of SHIP2 in gastric cancer remain unclear. While gene copy number variation analysis and exon sequencing indicated the absence of genomic alterations of , bisulfite genomic sequencing (BGS) showed promoter hypomethylation of in gastric cancer cells.

Methods: The expression levels of SHIP2 in gastric cancer tissues, a panel of gastric cancer cell lines, and normal gastric epithelial cells were analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western blot, and real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR).
