Chemoradiation was performed at Osaka Police Hospital's department of respiratory medicine on a 70-year-old male with small cell lung carcinoma(cT4N3M0, cStage ⅢC). Subsequent to secondary chemotherapy for multiple bone metastases that had been observed, he received care to control the disease. He arrived at the hospital complaining of epigastric pain. He got CT-scan and was referred to our department because of a suspected hematoma around the right gastroepiploic artery. He was treated conservatively because circulatory dynamics were steady and there was no indication that anemia had progressed. However, when a test laparotomy was performed the day after the start of treatment because he presented with decreased blood pressure and progressive anemia, a massive hematoma was found around the right gastroepiploic artery. The hematoma was removed, and hemostasis was performed. Based on the pathological findings of the excised specimen, he was diagnosed with abdominal metastasis of small cell lung carcinoma. This is a report on our experience and a literature review on a case of mesenteric hematoma caused by abdominal metastasis of small cell lung carcinoma.

Mitochondrial function is crucial for hepatic lipid metabolism. Current research identifies two types of mitochondria based on their contact with lipid droplets: peridroplet mitochondria (PDM) and cytoplasmic mitochondria (CM). This work aimed to investigate the alterations of CM and PDM in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) induced by spontaneous type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in db/db mice.

Aging is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). With the prevalence of AD increased, a mechanistic linkage between aging and the pathogenesis of AD needs to be further addressed. Here, we report that a small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) modification of p53 is implicated in the process which remarkably increased in AD patient's brain.

TP53 mutations are recognized to correlate with a worse prognosis in individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). There exists an immediate necessity to pinpoint selective treatment for patients carrying TP53 mutations. Potential drugs were identified by comparing drug sensitivity differences, represented by the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), between TP53 mutant and wild-type NSCLC cell lines using database analysis.

As a promising therapeutic approach, the RNA editing process can correct pathogenic mutations and is reversible and tunable, without permanently altering the genome. RNA editing mediated by human ADAR proteins offers unique advantages, including high specificity and low immunogenicity. Compared to CRISPR-based gene editing techniques, RNA editing events are temporary, which can reduce the risk of long-term unintended side effects, making off-target edits less concerning than DNA-targeting methods.
