Ultrastructural characteristics of cell populations in the gastric tube mucosa were studied after plastic surgery for benign esophageal disease. The foveolar epithelium mainly consisted of secretory active mucocytes with small changes in cytoplasmic organelles. Functionally immature parietal cells and gland cells in the epithelium of fundal glands were characterized by atrophy and degeneration. Ultrastructural features of the epithelial compartment attest to adaptive cellular hypersecretion of the mucoid against the background of impaired acid production and enzyme secretion. The stromal compartment was characterized by low pinocytotic activity of endothelial cells in blood vessels and polymorphism of smooth muscle cells. Hypertrophic leiomyocytes were shown to dominate in the population of these cells. Some cells had signs of biosynthesis and reduction of filaments. Single leiomyocytes were degenerated. The observed ultrastructural modification of epithelial and connective cells can be interpreted as structural adaptation of the gastric transplant.

Diabetes mellitus, characterized by insufficient insulin secretion and impaired insulin efficacy, disrupts carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism. The global diabetic population is expected to double by 2025, from 380 million, posing a significant health challenge. Most diabetic individuals fall into the type 1 or type 2 categories, and diabetes adversely affects various organs, such as the kidneys, liver, nervous system, reproductive system, and eyes.

Background: Malaria is one of the leading causes of morbidity and/or mortality in tropical Africa. The spread and development of resistance to chemical antimalarial drugs and the relatively high cost of the latter are problems associated with malaria control and are reasons to promote the use of plants to meet healthcare needs to treat malaria. The aim of this study was to evaluate antiplasmodial activities of extracts of (Mah quat), which is traditionally used for the treatment of malaria in the western region of Cameroon.

Background: Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily plays an important role in tumor progression and metastasis. Activin A receptor type 1C (ACVR1C) is a TGF-β type I receptor that is involved in tumorigenesis through binding to different ligands.
Aim: To evaluate the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ACVR1C and susceptibility to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Chinese Han population.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health emergency. Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) are at increased risk for severe infections with multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms, although more data are needed on the relative burden of MDR Enterobacterales (MDR-E) in immunocompromised populations. In this study, we compare the prevalence of Enterobacterales resistance in cultures from patients undergoing HCT with that of non-HCT patients seeking care at a large healthcare system in North Carolina, USA.
