AI Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to investigate the genetic alterations in recurrent pleomorphic adenoma (RPA) and pleomorphic adenoma (PA) using a technique called array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH).
- - Four cases of RPA and thirteen cases of PA were analyzed, revealing that RPA had minimal alterations, while PA showed some changes predominantly on chromosome 8, including both gains and losses.
- - The findings suggest that both PA and RPA have limited genomic differences, indicating they might share a similar genomic profile based on the aCGH results.
Article Abstract
Objective: As the genetic changes in recurrent pleomorphic adenoma (RPA) have not yet been investigated, the aim of this study was to assess the genomic profile of somatic copy number alteration in RPA and pleomorphic adenoma (PA) by using array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH).
Study Design: Four cases of RPA and 13 cases of PA were evaluated by using aCGH, using a 180 K platform. Data were analyzed by using Nexus Copy Number Discovery.
Results: The RPA group rarely showed any copy number alteration, except for 1 case that exhibited losses in 5 p15.33 p15.1, 5 q13.1 q35.3 and 12 q12 q13.11. The PA group also showed few copy number alterations, and the most frequent findings involved chromosomes 8: 8p21.3-p12 (gain), 8q12.1 (loss), 8p23.3-q24.3 (gain), and 8q12.1-q21.11 (gain). Genomic amplifications were revealed in the PA group, and the relevant affected genes were MAML2 and LIFR.
Conclusions: PA and RPA exhibit few somatic copy number alterations and show a similar genomic profile on aCGH.

Cefiderocol (FDC), a siderophore-cephalosporin conjugate, is the newest option for treating infection with carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria. We identified a novel mechanism contributing to decreased FDC susceptibility in Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates. The mechanism involves 2 coresident plasmids: pKpQIL, carrying variants of bla carbapenemase gene, and pKPN, carrying the ferric citrate transport (FEC) system.

Exposure to potassium dichromate (KCrO) is well known for its nephrotoxic effects on humans and animals. This study investigated the protective effects of vitamin C against KCrO-induced nephrotoxicity, focusing on its impact on altered carbohydrate metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, and associated molecular mechanisms in the cortical and medullary kidney segments. Male Wistar rats (n = 8) were divided into four groups: Group I received saline, Group II received a single 250 mg/kg body weight (bwt) intraperitoneal (i.

Background: Intracerebral schwannomas are rare tumors resembling their peripheral nerve sheath counterparts but localized in the CNS. They are not classified as a separate tumor type in the 2021 WHO classification. This study aimed to compile and characterize these rare neoplasms morphologically and molecularly.

Ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) is one of the effective antibiotics used for the treatment of carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) infections, but its resistance rate has increased recently. Previous studies have focused on the mechanisms of CZA resistance, while its heteroresistance in CRKP remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics and mechanisms of CZA heteroresistance in CRKP isolates.

The clinical implications of placental chromosomal mosaicism can be challenging for patients and health care providers. Key considerations include the specific characteristics of the chromosomal abnormality (such as size, gene content, and copy number), the timing of the mosaicism's onset during embryogenesis or fetal development, the types of tissues involved, and the level of mosaicism (the ratio of normal to abnormal cells within those tissues). Genetic counseling can help inform patients about the chances of having a live-born child with a chromosomal abnormality.
