Symptomatic gastrointestinal metastasis from lung malignancy is rarely reported. In this report, we present a case of lung adenocarcinoma with acute abdominal pain from small bowel perforation. The patient underwent small bowel resection and the final diagnosis was metastatic adenocarcinoma originating from lung. Immunohistochemistry was positive for thyroid transcription factor-1 and cytokeratin 7 (CK7), and negative for CK20. We present this rare case and briefly review the literature.

This case report highlights a potential vaccine safety concern associated with the Pseudorabies virus (PRV) live vaccine, which warrants further investigation for comprehensive understanding. Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), a novel syndrome of adverse events following adenovirus vector COVID-19 vaccines, was observed after vaccination with Zoetis PR-VAC PLUS. This led to a 100% morbidity and high mortality among PRV-free Danish purebred pigs from Danish Genetics Co.

Decades of artificial selection have markedly enhanced egg production efficiency, yet the epigenetic underpinnings, notably DNA methylation dynamics in the gut, remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigate how breeds and developmental stages influence DNA methylation profiles in laying hens, and their potential relationship to laying performance and gut health. We compared two highly selected laying hen strains, Lohmann Brown-Classic (LB) and Lohmann LSL-Classic (LSL), which exhibited similar egg production but divergent physiological, metabolic, and immunological characteristics.

Oysters are well-known for their health benefits such as immuno-modulatory functions. The intestinal microbiome serves as a key mediator between diet and immune regulation. This study aimed to investigate whether oyster consumption could alleviate cyclophosphamide (Cy)-induced immunosuppression by promoting intestinal homeostasis.

Th2 cells must sense and adapt to the tissue milieu in order to provide protective host immunity and tissue repair. Here, we examined the mechanisms promoting Th2 cell differentiation and function within the small intestinal lamina propria. Single cell RNA-seq analyses of CD4 T cells from the small intestinal lamina propria of helminth infected mice revealed high expression of the gene , encoding the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 2a (HIF2α).
