AI Article Synopsis

  • Neuroendocrine synchronous multiplicity carcinoma is rare, typically requiring both imaging and pathological confirmation for diagnosis, with few cases combining pathology and immunohistochemistry.
  • A patient presenting with abdominal pain was found to have tumors in both the small intestine and lung, diagnosed as neuroendocrine carcinomas through imaging and pathology.
  • The treatment involved surgical resection of the intestinal lesion and chemoradiotherapy for the lung tumor, resulting in a survival time exceeding 24 months, highlighting the importance of comprehensive diagnostic methods in managing this condition.

Article Abstract

Rationale: In clinical work, neuroendocrine synchronous multiplicity carcinoma was relatively rare. Most were confirmed by the pathological diagnosis of a certain part of the body combined with the imaging of the whole body, while cases that had both pathological and immunohistochemistry diagnosis were few.

Patient Concerns: A patient who presented with abdominal pain visited our hospital, and was diagnosed with lesions in both the small intestine and lung.

Diagnoses: Both were considered primary tumors by imaging, and diagnosed as neuroendocrine carcinomas by pathology.

Interventions: The intestinal lesion was surgically resected, and the lung tumor treated by chemoradiotherapy.

Outcomes: The survival time of this patient exceeded 24 months.

Lessons: The diagnosis relied on clinical, imaging, pathological, and immunohistochemical features, which confirmed a synchronous multiple carcinoma. Treatment was based on the pathological types. Through this case report, the clinical and pathological data of neuroendocrine synchronous multiplicity carcinoma could be enriched.

Purpose: Synchronous esophageal (EC) and rectal carcinoma (RC) is a rare and challenging condition, particularly in curative-intended treatment. Especially locally advanced tumors may not be suitable for primary resection and require individual multimodal treatment. This review examines curative-intended management of synchronous EC and RC.

Neuronal theta oscillation of hippocampal ensemble and memory function.

Behav Brain Res

Memory is the ability to acquire and store information following an experience, which can be retrieved by related context exposure. Pioneering studies have demonstrated that sparsely distributed neuronal ensembles or engram cells can serve as neural substrates for storing and recalling memory traces. Many studies of neuronal ensembles have focused on the hippocampus, and increasing evidence has indicated that the neuronal oscillation is closely associated with hippocampal memory functions, including both encoding and retrieval processes.

Self-Sustained Biophotocatalytic Nano-Organelle Reactors with Programmable DNA Switches for Combating Tumor Metastasis.

Adv Mater

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Marine Drugs, Chinese Ministry of Education, School of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ocean University of China, Qingdao, 266003, P. R. China.

Metastasis, the leading cause of mortality in cancer patients, presents challenges for conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to its reliance on localized light and oxygen application to tumors. To overcome these limitations, a self-sustained organelle-mimicking nanoreactor is developed here with programmable DNA switches that enables bio-chem-photocatalytic cascade-driven starvation-photodynamic synergistic therapy against tumor metastasis. Emulating the compartmentalization and positional assembly strategies found in living cells, this nano-organelle reactor allows quantitative co-compartmentalization of multiple functional modules for the designed self-illuminating chemiexcited PDT system.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an "environmental obesogen" and this study aims to investigate the intergenerational impacts of BPA-induced metabolic syndrome (MetS), specifically focusing on unraveling mechanisms. Exposure to BPA induces metabolic disorders in the paternal mice, which are then transmitted to offspring, leading to late-onset MetS. Mechanistically, BPA upregulates Srebf1, which in turn promotes the Pparg-dependent transcription of Dicer1 in spermatocytes, increasing the levels of multiple sperm microRNAs (miRNAs).

Sialic acids derived from colonic mucin glycans are crucial nutrients for enteric bacterial pathogens like . The uptake and utilization of sialic acid in depend on coordinated regulons, each activated by specific metabolites at the transcriptional level. However, the mechanisms enabling crosstalk among these regulatory circuits to synchronize gene expression remain poorly understood.
