Papillary adenoma of the lung, a rare and benign tumor, is easily confused with other primary benign or malignant lung tumors and especially with lung adenocarcinoma that has a papillary growth pattern. Enhanced understanding and an accurate diagnosis of papillary adenomas of the lung are crucial for clinical treatment and prognostic assessment. A 61-year-old man who presented with an opportunistic finding in relation to a left lower lobe lung nodule during an examination was admitted to The First Hospital of China Medical University (Shenyang, China) for further treatment.

Irisin is a muscle factor induced by exercise, generated through the proteolytic cleavage of the membrane protein fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC-5). Numerous studies have shown that irisin plays a significant role in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, inhibiting oxidative stress, reducing systemic inflammatory responses, and providing neuroprotection. Additionally, irisin can exert immunomodulatory functions by regulating regulatory T cells (Tregs).

Article Synopsis
  • SMARCA4-deficient tumors are rare, aggressive tumors marked by a lack of SMARCA4 expression, with adnexal tumors in the uterus being particularly uncommon.
  • A 64-year-old woman diagnosed with a SMARCA4-deficient adnexal tumor was treated with chemotherapy including bevacizumab, sindilizumab, and carboplatin, which eased her abdominal distension.
  • Despite initial treatment success, the patient passed away three months later, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis to differentiate these tumors from other types of adnexal uterine tumors using specific morphological and immunohistochemical features.

Solar-driven interfacial water purification emerges as a sustainable technology for seawater desalination and wastewater treatment to address the challenge of water scarcity. Currently, the energy losses via radiation and convection to surrounding environment minimize its energy efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to develop strategies to minimize the heat losses for efficient water purification.

Forensic microbiome research is a field with a wide range of applications and a number of protocols have been developed for its use in this area of research. As individuals host radically different microbiota, the human microbiome is expected to become a new biomarker for forensic identification. To achieve an effective use of this procedure an understanding of factors which can alter the human microbiome and determinations of stable and changing elements will be critical in selecting appropriate targets for investigation.

Kitchen waste hydrolysate (KWH) is an effective replacement for commonly used carbon sources such as sodium acetate (NaAc) and glucose (Glu), in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to enhance the total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency in sewage and reduce the operating cost of WWTPs. However, KWH utilization introduces complex organic matter that may lead to increased nitrous oxide (NO) emissions, compared with that of NaAc and Glu, causing significant damage to the atmosphere. Therefore, this study aims to compare the effects of KWH, Glu, and NaAc on NO emissions in sewage treatment.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) originate from follicular and neuroendocrine parafollicular C cells, respectively. PTC and MTC simultaneously exist in tumors containing both MTC and PTC features in a rare condition known as mixed medullary-follicular thyroid carcinoma (MMFTC). In the present study, a 60-year-old female presented with a small mass on the left side of the neck.

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses a case where intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, a type of liver cancer, was mistakenly diagnosed as gastric cancer due to its metastasis to the stomach.
  • It highlights the importance of understanding the clinical and imaging characteristics of gastric metastasis from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma to enhance preoperative diagnosis.
  • The use of PET/CT scans and immunohistochemical staining is emphasized as effective tools for accurately assessing the primary tumor and identifying the origin of metastatic adenocarcinoma, stressing the need for thorough preoperative examinations to avoid unnecessary treatments.

Insufficient carbon source is the primary factor that limits biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal during sewage treatment. This study investigates the feasibility and biological process of kitchen waste hydrolysate (KWH) replacing glucose to improve pollutant removal efficiency. It was found that using KWH as carbon source achieved better removal effect than glucose during sewage treatment.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the second primary cause of cancer-associated mortality around the world. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are critical modulators of multiple cellular processes, and their abnormal expression and/or function are related to a variety of diseases, including cancer. Various lncRNAs have been shown to exert a functional role in GC, but more still remain to be identified, since the therapies for GC patients are limited.
