We present the first case report of a complete response of metastatic gastroesophageal cancer in a chronic hemodialysis patient with irinotecan-based chemotherapy. An elderly dialysis patient presented with diffuse liver metastases by a gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. He received combination chemotherapy with 5 fluorouracil and irinotecan. After six months of chemotherapy, liver scans show complete remission. The principles, practice, and experience of chemotherapy with irinotecan during dialysis are discussed.

Introduction: Older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) respond poorly to standard induction therapy. DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and histone-deacetylases (HDACs) are key regulators of gene expression in cells and have been investigated as important therapeutic targets. However, their effects remains unclear as induction therapy for AML.

Objective: To investigate virological response and predictive factors for antiviral treatment in chronic HBV patients with low ALT and high HBV DNA.
Methods: A retrospective study grouped chronic HBV patients by baseline ALT: ALT > 80 U/L (significantly elevated group, SAG), 40-80 U/L (mildly elevated group, MAG), and ≤ 40 U/L (normal group, NG). Inverse probability treatment weighting balanced confounding factors.

The budding yeast is a widely utilized model system with myriad applications in terms of industrial, biotechnology, and synthetic biology purposes. One such application is the biosynthesis of commercially and medically important bioactive compounds and their precursors, which oftentimes require culturing conditions at low temperatures to optimize production yield rather than cellular fitness. To lend insight into genetic modifications that may assist this goal, this work focuses on a systematic analysis of the genes that result in an increase in survival following freezing.
