A rare case of the inguinal endometriosis was reported with immunohistochemical analysis. A 28-year-old woman had a thumb-sized tumor in the right groin for two years with a gradual increase in size and pain. An operation revealed an elastic hard tumor with an unclear margin and adhesion to the uterine round ligament. The histology showed irregular proliferation of the endometrial glands and stroma. The glandular epithelium stained weakly positive against CD125 antibody and the stromal matrix stained strongly positive against CD10 antibody. The nucleus in both the epithelial and stromal cells stained strongly positive against progesterone and estrogen receptor antibodies, and the cytoplasm in both types of cells stained moderately positive against COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) antibody. In conclusion, the combination of estrogen or progesterone receptor antibody for the nucleus and CD10 or COX-2 antibody for the cytoplasm could enhance the accuracy of diagnosis for ectopic endometriosis.

Therapeutic Potential and Mechanistic Insights of a Novel Synthetic α-Lactalbumin-Derived Peptide for the Treatment of Liver Fibrosis.
J Clin Exp Hepatol
December 2024
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department, Theodor Bilharz Research Institute, Giza, Egypt.
Background: Liver fibrosis is a serious global health issue, but current treatment options are limited due to a lack of approved therapies capable of preventing or reversing established fibrosis.
Aim: This study investigated the antifibrotic effects of a synthetic peptide derived from α-lactalbumin in a mouse model of thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver fibrosis.
Methods: analyses were conducted to assess the physicochemical properties, pharmacophore features, and docking interactions of the peptide.
Extramedullary plasmacytoma with the uvula as first affected site: A case report.
World J Clin Oncol

Department of Hematology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Jishou University, Jishou 416000, Hunan Province, China.
Background: Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) represents one of the rarer forms of plasma cell malignancies, capable of impacting a variety of tissues and organs throughout the body. The majority of EMP cases are predominantly found in the head and neck region, especially within the laryngopharynx, as well as in the gastrointestinal tract. While there have been documented instances of oropharyngeal involvement in EMP cases in the academic literature, it is important to note that EMP specifically affecting the uvula is exceedingly uncommon.

DEAD-box helicase 21 (DDX21) is a conserved Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) box RNA helicase with multiple functions that is involved in various cellular processes and diseases. However, the role of DDX21 in the recurrence and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients remains unknown. In the current study, we examined the protein expression of DDX21 in HCC tissues through immunohistochemical staining and analyzed the correlation between DDX21 protein expression and clinical outcome via Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was identified in China in late December 2019 and led to a pandemic that resulted in millions of confirmed cases and deaths. The causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), uses distinct receptors and co-receptors to enter host cells. Vimentin has emerged as a potential co-receptor for SARS-CoV-2 due to the high level of vimentin expression in testis tissue.

Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology, Tehran, Iran.
Objective: This study was aimed at investigating the roles of podoplanin (PDPN) as a marker associated with malignant development, progression, and poor prognosis in oral leukoplakia and various forms of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), particularly in relation to the extent of invasion.
Methods: Immunohistochemical analysis of PDPN was conducted on 77 histologically confirmed, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples representing various degrees of OSCC invasion and dysplasia grades.
Results: The samples were analyzed with Fisher's exact test and the Kruskal-Wallis test.
