Gallbladder Follicular Lymphoma Mimicking Gallbladder Cancer.

Background/aim: Enlarged polypoid gallbladder lesions should first be evaluated to rule out gallbladder cancer. Gallbladder lymphoma rarely develops, and gallbladder follicular lymphoma is seldom observed.

Case Report: The case of a 70-year-old man with an enlarged polypoid gallbladder lesion and stable-sized multiple enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes is reported.

A Retrospective Cohort Study of a Newly Proposed Criteria for Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.

Background/objectives: Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder traditionally diagnosed based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria in 1998. Recently, Hermann et al. proposed updated diagnostic criteria incorporating advanced biomarkers to enhance early detection of sCJD.

Lysine residues are not required for proteasome-mediated proteolysis of cellular prion protein.

Cellular prion protein (PrP) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell-surface protein. The mature cell-surface PrP is internalized and subsequently degraded by lysosomes. Although, proteasomes are proposed to be involved, the precise mechanism of PrP degradation remains uncertain.

Supplementation of equine placenta extract on corneal wound in two dogs: Case report.

Background: Canine corneal disease is a common condition encountered in daily practice. If the depth of corneal damage is limited to the epithelial layer, healing is often straightforward; however, if it extends into the epithelial basement membrane or corneal parenchyma, surgical treatment is the treatment of choice. Moreover, in cases where there is an underlying disease or where the owner refuses surgical treatment, treatment options are often limited to eye drop treatment, which may be inadequate.

Dynamics of centipede locomotion revealed by large-scale traction force microscopy.

We present a novel approach to traction force microscopy (TFM) for studying the locomotion of 10 cm long walking centipedes on soft substrates. Leveraging the remarkable elasticity and ductility of kudzu starch gels, we use them as a deformable gel substrate, providing resilience against the centipedes' sharp leg tips. By optimizing fiducial marker size and density and fine-tuning imaging conditions, we enhance measurement accuracy.
