AI Article Synopsis
- Macrophages with foreign pigments are often found in cytology tests; a case of a 76-year-old woman illustrates this phenomenon through tumor tattooing.
- The tattoo ink served as an unusual source of pigment in her peritoneal fluid, highlighting the need to identify the source accurately.
- Understanding a patient's medical history and the specific location of pigments can help differentiate tattoo ink from other types of pigments.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Macrophages containing exogenous pigments are commonly encountered in cytological specimens.
Case Presentation: We present a case of tumor tattooing as an infrequent exogenous source of peritoneal fluid macrophagic pigment in a 76-year-old female.
Discussion And Conclusion: Tattooing-derived ink can be a source of macrophagic pigment and should not be confused with other endogenous or exogenous pigments. The anatomical location and past medical history of the patient can aid in the diagnosis.

Melatonin (MT) is a crucial hormone that controls and positively regulates plant growth under abiotic stress, but the biochemical and physiological processes of the combination of melatonin seed initiation and exogenous spray treatments and their effects on maize germination and seedling salt tolerance are not well understood. Consequently, in this research, we utilized the maize cultivars Zhengdan 958 (ZD958) and Demeiya 1 (DMY1), which are extensively marketed in northeastern China's high-latitude cold regions, to reveal the modulating effects of melatonin on maize salinity tolerance by determining the impacts of varying concentrations of melatonin on maize seedling growth characteristics, osmoregulation, antioxidant systems, and gene expression. The findings revealed that salt stress (100 mM NaCl) significantly inhibited maize seed germination and seedling development, which resulted in significant increases in the HO and O content and decreases in the antioxidant enzyme activity and photosynthetic pigment content in maize seedlings.

Salt stress is a significant environmental factor that impedes maize growth and yield. Exogenous 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has been shown to mitigate the detrimental effects of various environmental stresses on plants. However, its regulatory role in the photosynthesis mechanisms of maize seedlings under salt stress remains poorly understood.

With the rapid development of synthetic biology, genetic engineering, and molecular manipulation methods in recent years, microalgae, as representatives of microbial cell factories, have been widely used as hosts in the production of high-value bioproducts, such as oils, pigments, proteins, and biofuels, demonstrating promising prospects of application in biochemical energy, food and drugs, and environmental protection. Despite these advancements, the low production efficiency of microalgae limits their industrial application. In addition to strain improvement and culture condition optimization, the regulation by exogenous chemical additives serves as a promising optimization strategy.
