A case of resected anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas producing granulocyte-colony stimulating factor with literature review.

Background: Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-producing tumors have been reported in various organs, and the prognosis of patients with G-CSF-producing pancreatic cancers is particularly dismal. In this report, we present a case of G-CSF-producing anaplastic carcinoma of the pancreas (ACP), characterized by early postoperative recurrence and rapid, uncontrolled growth.

Case Presentation: A 74-year-old man presented to our hospital with complaints of abdominal fullness and pain after eating.

Primary duodenal carcinoma suspected to arise from ectopic gastric mucosa: a case report.

Background: Ectopic gastric mucosa mainly occurs in the duodenal bulb, and its etiology is thought to be congenital straying of gastric tissues. Primary duodenal carcinoma is a rare disease; however, reports of carcinoma arising from ectopic gastric mucosa are extremely rare. We report a case of primary duodenal carcinoma suspected to arise from ectopic gastric mucosa, which discovered as a result of duodenal stenosis.

Component with abundant immune-related cells in combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma identified by cluster analysis.

Combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) is a heterogeneous tumor sharing histological features with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA). The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of cHCC-CCA is unclear. We compared the TIME of cHCC-CCA with that of HCC and iCCA.

Coexistence of Magnetoelectric and Antiferroelectric-like Orders in MnTaO.

In materials showing a linear magnetoelectric (ME) effect, unconventional functionalities can be anticipated such as electric control of magnetism and nonreciprocal optical responses. Thus, the search for new linear ME materials is of interest in materials science. Here, using a recently proposed design principle of linear ME materials, which is based on the combination of local structural asymmetry and collinear antiferromagnetism, we demonstrate that an anion-deficient fluorite derivative, MnTaO, is a new linear ME material.
