We report a case of isolated splenic cat scratch disease in an immunocompetent woman. The clinical presentation of prolonged fever, night sweats, weakness, and intrasplenic lesions was highly suggestive of lymphoma. This is the second reported case of isolated splenic cat scratch disease in an adult and the first in a healthy adult.

Background: A recent study revealed the oncogenic role of box C/D small nucleolar RNA 52 (SNORD52) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by facilitating the aggressive phenotypes of hepatoma cells. However, the potential role of exosomal SNORD52 in macrophage polarization during HCC progression remains poorly understood.
Methods: Exosomes were isolated from hepatoma cells.

Diffraction imaging of cells allows rapid phenotyping by the response of intracellular molecules to coherent illumination. However, its ability to distinguish numerous types of human leukocytes remains to be investigated. Here, we show that accurate classification of three lymphocyte subtypes can be achieved with features extracted from cross-polarized diffraction image (p-DI) pairs.

B cell-based vaccines are expected to provide an alternative to DC-based vaccines. However, the efficacy of antigen uptake by B cells in vitro is relatively low, and efficient antigen-loading methods must be established before B cell-based vaccines are viable in clinical settings. We recently developed an in vitro system that efficiently loads antigens into isolated splenic B cells via liposomes decorated with hydroxyl PEG (HO-PEG-Lips).

Cyvirus cyprinidallo 2 (CyHV-2) is the pathogen of herpesviral hematopoietic necrosis (HVHN) that mainly infects goldfish Carassius auratus and crucian carp C. carassius and is characterized by high infectivity and pathogenicity. The availability of rapid and convenient detection methods is essential for early detection of CyHV-2.
