Parkinson's disease is characterized by the presence of α-synuclein (α-syn) primarily containing Lewy bodies in neurons. Despite decades of extensive research on α-syn accumulation, its molecular mechanisms have remained largely unexplored. Recent studies by us and others have suggested that extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, can mediate the release of α-syn from cells, and inhibiting this pathway could result in increased intracellular α-syn levels.

Introduction: There is little information in the literature on the early, sub-clinical stage and laboratory test results in patients with primary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the lung, a rare disease.
Case Description: In a 75-year-old man, an open lung biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of primary pulmonary lymphoma was preceded by almost six months of anaemia of inflammatory disease and monocytosis without any pulmonary symptoms. When he developed a dry cough, increasing dyspnoea and marked weight loss, these changes deepened and became associated with reactive thrombocytosis; markedly increased ferritin and C-reactive protein (positive acute-phase reactants), as well as reduced albumin and transferrin (negative acute-phase reactants).

OATP1B, P-gp, BCRP, and CYP3A are the most contributing drug-metabolizing enzymes or transporters (DMETs) for commonly prescribed medication. Their activities may change in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with large inter-individual variabilities (IIVs), leading to altered substrate drug exposure and ultimately elevated safety risk. However, the changing extent and indictive influencing factors are not quantified so far.
