Mast cells are often increased in AML with t(8;21). We analyzed characteristics of mast cells to elucidate their relationship with leukemic blasts. In 31 cases in which the results of KIT mutation analysis were available, five cases showed mutations. None of the cases positive for KIT mutation showed increased mast cells. In five cases with increased mast cells in which targeted-FISH analysis was performed for RUNX1-RUNX1T1, fusion signals demonstrated the translocation in mast cells in all cases. These findings confirm the shared origin between mast cells and leukemic blasts in AML with t(8;21).

Background: The blood FGF21 expression has been previously suggested to increase in patients developing atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma. However, its impact on atopic march is rarely analyzed. The present work focused on investigating the role of Fibroblast Growth Factor 21(FGF21) in atopic march mice and its underlying mechanisms.

Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease, involving immune cell infiltration and production of inflammatory mediators. Ferroptosis has recently been recognized as a mode of controlled cell death and the iron overload and peroxidative environment prevailing in the ectopic endometrium facilitates the occurrence of ferroptosis. In the current investigation, gene expression data was obtained from the dataset GSE7305.

The mortality rate of ovarian cancer (OC) remains the highest among female gynecological malignancies. Advanced age is the highest risk factor for OC development and progression, yet little is known about the role of the aged tumor microenvironment (TME). We conducted RNA sequencing and lipidomic analysis of young and aged gonadal adipose tissue from rat xenografts before and after OC formation.

Bilio-biliary anastomosis (BBA) is a critical surgical procedure that is performed with the objective of restoring bile duct continuity. This procedure is often required in cases where there has been an injury to the extrahepatic bile ducts or during liver transplantation. Despite advances in surgical techniques, the healing of BBA remains a significant challenge, with complications such as stricture formation and leakage affecting patient outcomes.

Cisplatin, a chemotherapeutic drug, is known for causing gastrointestinal disorders and neuropathic pain, but its impact on visceral sensitivity is unclear. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) has been shown to improve gastrointestinal dysmotility and neuropathic pain induced by cisplatin in rats. This study aimed to determine if repeated cisplatin treatment alters visceral sensitivity and whether dietary MSG can prevent these changes.
