Background And Objectives: Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) diagnosis is frequently delayed or confused with another class of disorders, and misdiagnosis is common. Sometimes, we have problems diagnosing an sIBM in the early stages or predicting when a PM is going to become an sIBM. In this sense, we believe that p62 immunostaining could help clinicians.
Case Report: We report the case of a 61-year-old patient with sIBM who six years earlier had been diagnosed with polymyositis (PM). After muscle biopsies analyses, we showed the natural history of sIBM by p62 expression.
Results: When we looked for p62 aggregates retrospectively we could see small dotted p62 aggregates in the muscle fibres of the first muscle biopsy. Six years later, the patient presented with the typical clinical picture of sIBM, also the muscle biopsy was characteristic, with large p62 aggregates.
Conclusions: Probably p62 immunostaining could help to distinguish PM patients that are going to become sIBM, but to date there has been no systematic study to clarify p62 utility in myositis.

The damaged organ may experience severe pathological alterations as a result of tissue ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). The study of stem cell-based repair therapies is actively being conducted, and the outcomes and therapeutic potential of these cells are both promising. Autophagy checks protein homeostasis by breaking down huge damaged proteins or organelles.

Aims: This study investigated the roles of lateral basal forebrain glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) signaling and cholinergic neuron activity, apoptosis, and autophagy dysfunction in sleep deprivation-induced increased risk of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) in mice.
Methods: Sleep deprivation (6 h per day from -1 to 3 days postoperatively) was administered to mice receiving skin/muscle incision and retraction (SMIR) to determine whether perioperative sleep deprivation induces mechanical and thermal pain hypersensitivity, increases the risk of chronic pain, and causes changes of basal forebrain neurons activity (c-Fos immunostaining), apoptosis (cleaved Caspase-3 expression), autophagy (LC3 and p62 expression) and GDNF expression. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-GDNF was microinjected into the basal forebrain to see whether increased GDNF expression could reverse sleep deprivation-induced changes in pain duration and cholinergic neuron apoptosis and autophagy.

Autophagy is a biological process that facilitates the degradation and removal of damaged structures and macromolecules. In neoplasms, autophagy has been proposed to play a dual role, functioning either as a tumor promoter or a tumor suppressor. To date, no comprehensive analysis of autophagy, primarily through immunohistochemical investigation of autophagy-related proteins (ATGs), has been conducted in chordomas (CHs), which are rare bone tumors that arise from remnants of the notochord.

Background: Autophagy dysfunction in glial cells is implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). The previous study reported that α-synuclein (α-Syn) disrupted autophagy in cultured microglia. However, the mechanism of microglial autophagy dysregulation is poorly understood.
