Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the combined effects of microplastics (MPs) and cadmium (Cd) on aquatic life, using the ciliate Paramecium caudatum and zebrafish as model organisms.
  • Findings reveal that MPs with Cd can enter zebrafish bodies through the food chain, leading to various harmful effects, including metabolic changes, delayed development, and DNA damage.
  • The research highlights the need to assess the ecological risks of MPs and their potential impact on food safety and human health due to pollutant accumulation.

Benign tumors of the liver and biliary tract are rare entities, and some of them require surgical management to prevent their malignant transformation. Tumors from the biliary tract with malignant potential are treated either by hepatic resection, for mucinous cystic neoplasm and ciliated hepatic foregut cysts, or by biliary resections, for biliary papillary neoplasm and type I and IV choledochal cysts. The pathologies requiring prophylactic cholecystectomy are polyps larger than 10 mm, porcelain gallbladder and pancreaticobiliary maljunction.

A ciliated hepatic foregut cyst (CHFC) is a very uncommon cystic hepatic lesion that arises from an embryonic remnant of the foregut epithelium. CHFC is predominantly asymptomatic and is found incidentally. However, it can show various clinical presentations such as pain and weight loss.

Article Synopsis
  • Ciliated hepatic foregut cyst (CHFC) is a rare and generally benign liver cyst that comes from embryonic foregut epithelium and is often asymptomatic, though some may have vague abdominal symptoms.
  • Although imaging techniques are not enough for a correct diagnosis—since they can resemble other serious conditions like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma—histologic confirmation is necessary for a definitive diagnosis to rule out the potential for malignant transformation, especially in larger cysts.
  • The article discusses a specific case of CHFC and includes a literature review, along with a proposed algorithm for accurately diagnosing these cysts.

Ciliated foregut cysts (CFCs) are frequently described in liver, pancreas and gallbladder and generally considered benign although one case of squamous cell metaplasia and five cases of squamous cell carcinoma arising from a ciliated hepatic foregut cyst have been reported. Here we explore two cancer-testis antigens (CTAs), Sperm protein antigen 17 (SPA17) and Sperm flagellar 1 (SPEF1) expression in a rare case of CFC of the common hepatic duct MATERIALS AND METHODS: 3 µm-thick CFC sections were immunohistochemically treated with antibodies raised against human SPA17 or SPEF1. In silico Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network and differential protein expression were also investigated RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry revealed SPA17 and SPEF1 in the cytoplasm of ciliated epithelium.
