Background/aim: Chronic expanding hematoma is defined as a hematoma that gradually expands over 1 month or longer, is without neoplastic features on histological sections, and does not occur in the setting of coagulopathy. The pathogenetic mechanism behind its development is unknown, nor is anything known about its genetic features.
Case Report: A 49-year-old man noted a tender lump close to the right femoral trochanter. Examination of a core needle biopsy showed a fibrous capsule with fibrinoid material on one side. The patient underwent surgery with removal of a cystic, encapsulated structure with central bleeding and proliferating vessels in the fibrous capsule. The reactive fibroblasts were without any sign of atypia. Genetic analyses were performed on this chronic expanding hematoma.
Results: G-Banding analysis of short-term cultured cells from the chronic expanding hematoma yielded a karyotype with a single clonal chromosome abnormality: 46,XY,t(11;19)(q13;q13)[8]/46,XY[10]. RNA sequencing and examination of the sequencing data using five different programs did not identify fusion genes related to the translocation.
Conclusion: The acquired translocation t(11;19)(q13;q13) suggested that chronic expanding hematoma is a neoplastic lesion. Since the translocation did not lead to any fusion genes, one can speculate that it causes deregulation of gene expression.

Single cell profiling of circulating autoreactive CD4 T cells from patients with autoimmune liver diseases suggests tissue imprinting.

Autoimmune liver diseases (AILD) involve dysregulated CD4 T cell responses against liver self-antigens, but how these autoreactive T cells relate to liver tissue pathology remains unclear. Here we perform single-cell transcriptomic and T cell receptor analyses of circulating, self-antigen-specific CD4 T cells from patients with AILD and identify a subset of liver-autoreactive CD4 T cells with a distinct B-helper transcriptional profile characterized by PD-1, TIGIT and HLA-DR expression. These cells share clonal relationships with expanded intrahepatic T cells and exhibit transcriptional signatures overlapping with tissue-resident T cells in chronically inflamed environments.

Development of the fish invitrome for animal-free environmental risk assessment of chemicals.

Department of Environmental Toxicology, Eawag, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, Dübendorf, Switzerland.
Given the need to reduce animal testing for environmental risk assessment, we aim to develop a fish invitrome, an alternative fish modular framework capable of predicting chemical toxicity in fish without the use of animals. The central module of the framework is the validated RTgill-W1 cell line assay that predicts fish acute toxicity of chemicals (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Test Guideline (OECD TG) 249). Expanding towards prediction of chronic toxicity, the fish invitrome includes two other well-advanced modules for chemical bioaccumulation/biotransformation and inhibition of fish growth.

Background: Although substantial progress has been made in establishing evidence-based psychosocial clinical interventions and implementation strategies for mental health, translating research into practice-particularly in more accessible, community settings-has been slow.
Objective: This protocol outlines the renewal of the National Institute of Mental Health-funded University of Washington Advanced Laboratories for Accelerating the Reach and Impact of Treatments for Youth and Adults with Mental Illness Center, which draws from human-centered design (HCD) and implementation science to improve clinical interventions and implementation strategies. The Center's second round of funding (2023-2028) focuses on using the Discover, Design and Build, and Test (DDBT) framework to address 3 priority clinical intervention and implementation strategy mechanisms (ie, usability, engagement, and appropriateness), which we identified as challenges to implementation and scalability during the first iteration of the center.
