We report the case of an adult male presenting in shock caused by spontaneous rupture of a pathologically normal spleen. One day before his presentation he had received a single subcutaneous injection of enoxaparin. This was the patient's only clearly identifiable risk factor for spontaneous splenic rupture. Nontraumatic splenic rupture should be included in the differential diagnosis of shock.

After describing the anatomy of the spleen and the most important immunohistochemical stains for identifying cellular constituents of the normal splenic compartments, etiologies of splenomegaly and the diagnostic approach for spleen biopsies are discussed using the example of a North African patient with a recent migration background and sudden fever. The focus is on infectious diseases and the morphology and molecular features of hematolymphoid neoplasms, particularly the primary "splenic B‑cell lymphomas" according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. The importance of clinicopathological correlations and interdisciplinary cooperation in splenic pathology is emphasized.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of Fu Tu Sheng Jin Rehabilitation Formula (FTSJRF) on airway inflammation, mucus secretion, and immunoreaction in a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein-induced mouse model.
Methods: Forty-two mice were randomly divided into seven groups: normal, D1, D3, D10, D10H, D10M and D10L, according to the days of modeling and different dosages of FTSJRF. D1, D3, D10, D10H, D10M and D10L group mice were intratracheally administered with 15 µg SARS-CoV-2 spike protein; mice in the D10H, D10M, and D10L groups were intragastrically administered FTSJRF (46, 23 and 11.

Hereditary hemochromatosis occurs due to genetic mutations, namely, cysteine-to-tyrosine substitution at amino acid 282 (C282Y) and histidine-to-aspartic acid substitution at 63 (H63D) mutations. The role of H63D mutation in hemochromatosis is less clear, and its penetrance is low even in homozygotes. Therefore, iron overload in H63D heterozygotes is extremely rare and scarcely reported.

Article Synopsis
- Goose astrovirus (GAstV) poses a significant risk to China's goose industry, with two known genotypes, GAstV-1 and GAstV-2, the latter being linked to gout in goslings.
- A new strain of GAstV-1, JY202323, was isolated and sequenced, revealing its genome is 7,252 nucleotides long and phylogenetic analysis shows it can be categorized into two subgroups.
- Infections with JY202323 in one-day-old goslings led to diarrhea and a 13% mortality rate, primarily affecting the small intestine and lungs, without typical gout symptoms, highlighting its differing pathogenicity from GAstV-2.
