Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate why pregnant women with glucose intolerance often have large infants, focusing on amino and fatty acid transport in the placenta, beyond just glucose transport.
- Researchers analyzed postpartum placental tissues from 101 eligible deliveries, finding higher expression levels of certain transporters (LAT1 and placenta-FABPpm) in women with glucose intolerance compared to those without.
- The results suggest that, despite controlled blood sugar levels, managing other nutrients like amino acids and fatty acids in glucose-intolerant pregnancies is crucial for fetal growth.
We present a non-smoker woman in her 40s with PLCH who presented with atypical imaging findings of multiple pulmonary noncavitary nodules without air cysts with repeated waxing and waning.

- * Researchers divided 31 FSGS patients into two groups: those with and without cellular lesions (CEL-L) and found differences in the behavior of a protein called β1 integrin (ITGB1).
- * Results showed that higher ITGB1 levels and more significant subendothelial widening were present in the CEL-L(+) group, suggesting that different pathological mechanisms are involved in FSGS depending on the presence of cellular lesions.
A 69-year-old ex-smoker Japanese man presented with a left mediastinal lymph node and left upper lobe tumour. Bronchoscopic biopsy specimens from the enlarged left mediastinal lymph node and left upper lobe tumour revealed small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). He was treated with first-line chemotherapy with carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab for four courses and subsequent atezolizumab maintenance therapy.

Contrast-enhanced computed tomography examination showed swelling of the left adrenal gland, suggesting metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma, HCC, or primary adrenal tumor. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) was performed for the pathological diagnosis, and adrenal metastasis of HCC was diagnosed.
