Chronic constipation requiring surgical ablation for intractability is often a frustrating condition from the pathologist's point of view. In fact, limiting the histological examination to only hematoxylin-eosin staining usually yields only the information that there are no abnormalities. By employing some simple and widely available immunohistochemical methods, discussed in this review, it is possible to gather data that may help in explaining the pathophysiological basis of constipation in these patients.

Pathogenic activating mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) drive disease maintenance and progression in urothelial cancer. 10-15% of muscle-invasive and metastatic urothelial cancer (MIBC/mUC) are FGFR3-mutant. Selective targeting of FGFR3 hotspot mutations with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.

Background: The establishment of kinetochore-microtubule attachment is essential for error-free chromosome alignment and segregation during cell division. Defects in chromosome alignment result in chromosome instability, birth defects, and infertility. Kinesin-7 CENP-E mediates kinetochore-microtubule capture, chromosome alignment, and spindle assembly checkpoint in somatic cells, however, mechanisms of CENP-E in germ cells remain poorly understood.

Objective: Potassium voltage-gated channel sub-family A member 1 (Kv1.1), as a shaker homolog potassium channel, displays a special mechanism for posttranscriptional regulation called RNA editing. Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 2 (ADAR2) can cause abnormal editing or loss of normal editing, which results in cell damage and related diseases.

Objective: Ferroptosis has been described in association with acute kidney injury (AKI)-induced sepsis. Fibronectin type III domain containing protein 5 (FNDC5)/irisin plays a crucial role in renal protection. The objective of this study was to investigate whether FNDC5/irisin is involved in AKI-induced sepsis by modulating ferroptosis, and the molecular mechanisms that may be involved.

Background: The study aimed to explore whether Miya (MY), a kind of Clostridium butyricum, regulated osteoarthritis (OA) progression through adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway.
Methods: The OA rats were orally given MY daily for 4 weeks and were intramuscularly injected with AMPK inhibitor once a week for 4 weeks. Hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the histological morphology of the knee joint.
