Malignant angiomyolipoma (AML) of the liver is rare. We report a case of AML with malignant transformation and metastases. A 30-year-old man had developed giant hepatic masses. Microscopically, the periphery of the tumor showed components of classic hepatic AML, but the central region contained atypical epithelioid components with extremely pleomorphic and hyperchromatic nuclei with frequent mitotic figures. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the epithelioid cells were positive for HMB-45 and smooth muscle actin. Furthermore, the atypical epithelioid cells displayed P53 immunoreactivity and mutation at exon 7 for p53. The tumor showed a typical monoclonal pattern but no loss of heterozygosity or microsatellite instability. Markedly atypical epithelioid cells with vascular invasion, distant metastasis, and fatal outcome were interpreted as malignant characteristics of hepatic AML. It is suggested that large tumor size, pleomorphic nuclei with high proliferation activity, and P53 immunoreactivity may predict the existence of malignant transformation of hepatic AML.

Diabetic liver injury (DLI) refers to liver injury resulting from prolonged chronic hyperglycemia and represents a significant complication associated with diabetes, The specific pathogenic mechanism of DLI remains incompletely understood. Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in diabetic complications through intricate signalling pathways, including pyroptosis. However, it remains uncertain whether TNF-α mediates pyroptosis in DLI, we initially established an in vitro model of DLI and confirmed the presence of an inflammatory state characterized by TNF-α in DLI.

In this multicenter phase Ib trial, we investigated the combination of CPX-351 and gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Cohort A received CPX-351 plus a single dose of GO, while cohort B received two doses of GO. Thirteen participants received investigational treatment.

Sleep deprivation (SD) causes circadian misalignment, and circadian clock disruption is associated with metabolic diseases such as obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. However, the underlying mechanism for SD-induced circadian clock disruption as well as metabolic enzyme changes is still lacking. Here, we developed SD sensitizes mice with disrupted circadian rhythms to demonstrate the regulation role and mechanism of SD in UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) expression and the metabolism of corresponding substrates.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one type of blood cancer that initially has a high cure rate but frequently relapses and leading to death. Therefore, there is an urgent need for innovative AML treatments. The leukemia C1498 cells were co-cultured with M1 macrophage-derived exosomes (M1-exo), and the proliferation and apoptosis of C1498 cells were investigated using CCK-8 and flow cytometry, respectively.

Background: Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS)/veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is generally associated with hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), but little is known about this condition outside the HCT setting. This systematic review examines the burden of illness and current management approaches in non-HCT SOS/VOD.
Methods: We searched Embase, Medline, and grey literature sources for non-HCT SOS/VOD studies published 2002-2023.
