Collecting duct carcinoma is a rare renal malignant neoplasm, arising from the medullary collecting duct and accounting for less than 1% of renal cell carcinomas. It is more common in middle-aged men and is usually presented with hematuria, abdominal mass and back or flank pain. Its immunohistochemical analysis detects the expression of various markers, such as low and high molecular weight keratins, Ulex europaeus agglutinin-1, epithelial membrane antigen and peanut lectin. Here, we present a case of a 29-year-old woman with CDC presented with back pain and supraclavicular lymphadenopathy that produced carcinoembryonic antigen and CA-125.

Background: Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare subtype of pancreatic cancer and the clinicopathological behavior of PACC is not yet fully understood. PACC rarely invades the main pancreatic duct (MPD), which causes intraductal growth. Thus, herein, we have reported a rare case of PACC that invaded the MPD and disseminated to the branches of the pancreatic duct (BDs) without exhibiting any continuity with the main tumor.

Background: We performed a retrospective comparative study to clarify the optimal gallbladder drainage method prior to elective cholecystectomy.

Methods: We collected data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database about cholecystitis patients who underwent gallbladder drainage prior to cholecystectomy in a subsequent hospitalization between April 2014 and March 2020. We divided the study population into two groups: an endoscopic gallbladder stenting (EGBS) group and a percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) group.

Laparoscopic exploration of the common bile duct (CBD) has emerged as a predominant method in hepatobiliary surgery owing to its minimally invasive nature and favorable outcomes compared to traditional open surgery. Suturing the CBD during laparoscopic procedures is critical for ensuring proper bile drainage and reducing postoperative complications. This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent laparoscopic exploration of the CBD for choledocholithiasis at the Wujin Hospital Affiliated with Jiangsu University between January 2016 and December 2023.

The molecular structure of SHISA5 protein and its novel role in primary biliary cholangitis: From single-cell RNA sequencing to biomarkers.

Int J Biol Macromol

Electronic address:

The study collected liver tissue samples from PBC patients and healthy controls and performed transcriptomic analysis of the cells in the samples using single-cell RNA sequencing. The expression characteristics of SHISA5 in PBC were revealed by comparing the difference of SHISA5 protein in the two groups of samples. The structure of SHISA5 protein was predicted and its possible biological function was analysed by bioinformatics method.

Autoimmune Tubulopathies.

J Am Soc Nephrol

January 2025

Centre de Recherche des Cordeliers, INSERM, Sorbonne Université, Université Paris Cité, F-75006 Paris, France.

The renal tubule and collecting duct express a large number of proteins, all having putative immunoreactive motives. Therefore, all can be the target of pathogenic autoantibodies. However, autoimmune tubulopathies seem to be rare and we hypothesize that they are underdiagnosed.
