Pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma: A case report with emphasis on computed tomography findings.

Rationale: Pulmonary lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (PLELC) is a rare type of primary malignant lung tumor characterized by Epstein-Barr virus infection, with, to the authors' knowledge, a total of only 500 reported cases during the past 30 years worldwide. Histologically, PLELC is similar to undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. However, although PLELC accounts for <1% of all lung cancers, it has a better prognosis and is usually detected in non-smokers and individuals of Asian ancestry.

Voltage-gated sodium channel 1.7 expression decreases in dorsal root ganglia in a spinal nerve ligation neuropathic pain model.

The role of the voltage-gated sodium channel 1.7 (Nav1.7) is unclear in models of neuropathic pain induced by nerve injury.

A semisynthetic Atg3 reveals that acetylation promotes Atg3 membrane binding and Atg8 lipidation.

Acetylation of Atg3 regulates the lipidation of the protein Atg8 in autophagy. The molecular mechanism behind this important biochemical event remains to be elucidated. We describe the first semi-synthesis of homogeneous K19/K48-diacetylated Atg3 through sequential hydrazide-based native chemical ligation.
