The cytologic similarity to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of 2 cases of granular renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with hyaline globules (HGs) prompted us to evaluate the frequency of HGs in RCC and HCC and the association between cell type, differentiation, and malignant potential of these 2 neoplasms and the presence of HGs. We studied fine-needle aspirates from 23 cases of RCC (primary, 7; metastatic, 16) and 23 cases of primary HCC and noted anatomic site, tumor cell type, and presence, quality, and quantity of HGs. Fuhrman nuclear grade was assigned to RCC and overall differentiation to HCC cases. RCC cell type was granular (7), mixed (4), and clear (12). HCC cases were granular (22) and clear (1). Morphologically similar, predominantly intracytoplasmic HGs were identified in 4 RCCs and 10 HCCs. All 4 RCCs with HGs were at metastatic sites, granular cell type, and high Fuhrman grade. HGs showed no association with differentiation of HCC. While HGs are seen more commonly in HCC than in RCC, their presence in an adenocarcinoma should bring renal origin into consideration. The presence of HGs in metastatic granular RCC, particularly in the liver, can lead to misinterpretation as primary HCC.

The use of adjunct chemical substances in the early postoperative period of periodontal surgical procedures is recommended due to the potential risk of trauma in the operated area. Chlorhexidine digluconate mouthwash is widely used but can cause adverse effects. Phthalocyanine derivatives are being studied as an alternative, demonstrating good antimicrobial activity, especially in the self-activated form, which does not require additional light or chemicals.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) play a key role in the field of nanomedicine due to their fascinating plasmonic properties as well as their great biocompatibility. An intriguing application is the use of plasmonic photothermal therapy (PPTT) mediated by anisotropic AuNPs irradiated with a near-infrared (NIR) laser for treating ocular diseases in ophthalmology. For this purpose, bipyramidal-shaped AuNPs (BipyAu), which were surface-functionalized with three different organic ligands (citrate, polystyrene sulphonate (PSS), and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)), were synthesized.

Objective: Cognitive impairment (CI) is highly prevalent in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway plays a critical role in neuronal survival in a variety of central nervous system injuries. This study aimed to determine whether electroacupuncture (EA) at and LI20 ameliorates SAH-CI in a rat model and to examine whether it modulates the PI3K/AKT pathway by administering a PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) versus dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) vehicle.

Rapid reduction of body size in populations responding to global warming suggests the involvement of temperature-dependent physiological adjustments during growth, such as mitochondrial alterations, in the efficiency of producing metabolic energy, a process that is poorly explored, especially in endotherms. Here, we examined the mitochondrial metabolism and proteomic profile of red blood cells in relation to body size and cellular energetics in nestling shearwaters (Calonectris diomedea) developing at different natural temperatures. We found that nestlings of warmer nests had lighter bodies and smaller beaks at fledging.
