Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on finding alternative treatments for gastric cancer (GC) patients who cannot undergo surgery, particularly those with HER2 overexpression, which affects how treatment decisions are made.* -
  • Researchers analyzed sCT iodine maps from 101 GC patients to see if histogram analysis could predict HER2 status, examining various statistical parameters from these maps.* -
  • Results showed that certain histogram parameters were significantly lower in patients with HER2-positive tumors, suggesting the potential of sCT analysis in predicting HER2 status, with a notable area under the curve for the 99th percentile parameter.*

To find out the role of hsa-miR-570-3p targeting CD274 in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Hsa-miR-570-3p and CD274 expressions in 175 TNBC patients were detected by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry respectively. The human TNBC cell lines (MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231) were used to verify the targeting relationship between hsa-miR-570-3p and CD274 via dual-luciferase reporter gene assay.

ROS1 rearrangement occurs in 1-2% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases. These patients would benefit from treatment with the anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor, crizotinib; however, resistance to crizotinib inevitably develops in such patients despite an initial response. The mechanism of acquired resistance to crizotinib in patients with NSCLC with ROS1 rearrangement has not yet been identified.

Objective: To study clinicopathologic and genetic features of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL).

Methods: Light microscopy, EliVision immunohistocheimical method and fluorescence in-situ hybridization were used to evaluate three ALK + LBCL cases recently diagnosed accompanied with a literature review.

Results: All three cases were male adult patients (mean age = 36.

The objective of study was to investigate the origin and to classify the subtype of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced thymic lymphomas in mice. Histopathologic, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies were performed to analyze the pathological features of the neoplasms. The results showed that the thymus in all cases became totally replaced by sheets of cells of the lymphoid series.

The objective of study was to establish an animal model with thymic lymphoma in mice induced by intraperitoneal injection of DNA alkylating agent N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). Male and female mice of the C57BL/6 strain were injected by the intraperitoneal route with MNU solution in a dosage of 50 mg/kg body weight. The injection was repeated at week 8.
