We analyzed the morphological changes accompanying the development of cancer in the mouse forestomach. The main aim of the study was to evaluate whether cancer in this area of the stomach arises de novo or undergoes a series of precancerous changes. Tumors were induced by the 1,2-dimethylbenz(a)antracene (DMBA) at a total dose of 4 mg/mouse. The suspected areas of the stomach were studied morphologically in 79 mice. Benign tumors (squamous-cell papillomas) and malignant tumors (squamous-cell carcinomas) were found in 40 mice. Tumors arose in all cases together with differential changes in the forestomach epithelium. These changes were seen as irregular diffuse hyperplasia or focal proliferation, with or without differential signs of dysplasia. Destruction of the basal epithelial membrane indicated transformation of the process into malignant invasive carcinoma. Thus, in chemically induced cancer of the forestomach, squamous-cell carcinoma develops as the final stage of morphologically recognizable precancerous changes in the epithelial layer. De novo formation of such tumors in the forestomach was not observed.

Detections of internal substances and morphologies for label-free living cells are crucial for revealing malignant diseases. With the phase serving as a coupling of refractive index (RI) (marker for substances) and thickness (morphology), existing decoupling methods mainly rely on complex integrated systems or extensive optical field information. Developing simple and rapid decoupling methods remains a challenge.

Article Synopsis
- This study is the first to report on caprine forestomach native collagen (CFNC) modified with silver nanowires (AgNWs) to create scaffolds intended for wound healing dressings.
- The CFNC/AgNWs scaffolds demonstrated a porous 3D structure with favorable physical and chemical properties, showing antibacterial effects and mechanical properties that varied based on AgNW concentration.
- However, higher concentrations of Ag ions were found to cause cytotoxicity in L929 fibroblast cells, indicating the need to balance antibacterial efficacy with biocompatibility when selecting AgNW dosages for optimal wound dressing performance.

Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) have been increasingly used as rodent models in recent years, especially for SARS-CoV-2 since the pandemic. However, the physiology of this animal model is not yet well-understood, even less when considering the digestive tract. Generally, the gastrointestinal microbiome influences the immune system, drug metabolism, and vaccination efficacy.

Bis-(2-Chloroisopropyl) ether (BCIPE) was used as a solvent for fats, greases, paint, varnish removers, and in spotting and cleaning solutions. However, BCIPE has not been commercially manufactured or used for numerous years. In experimental animal studies, BCIPE is moderately toxic following acute oral, dermal, and inhalation routes of exposure.

Aristolochic acid (AA)-IIIa is an AA analog present in Aristolochiaceae plants. To evaluate the chronic toxicity of AA-IIIa, mice were intragastrically administered with media control, 1 mg/kg AA-IIIa, and 10 mg/kg AA-IIIa, and designated as the control (CTL), AA-IIIa low dose (AA-IIIa-L), and AA-IIIa high dose (AA-IIIa-H) groups, respectively. AA-IIIa was administered three times a week, every other day, for 24 weeks (24-week time point).
