The present study aimed to verify the changes in the expression levels of 13 candidate genes associated with chemotherapy resistance and to construct a scoring system to predict resistance to these drugs. The expression levels of the 13 candidate genes were compared between 20 dogs with lymphoma that were sensitive to drugs used in CHOP-based protocol and 16 dogs with lymphoma that were resistant to these drugs. The expression levels of six genes; ASNS, CCR3, CALCA, FCER1A, LOC448801, and EDNRB were significantly different between the two groups. A scoring system to predict resistance to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and vincristine, which are used in CHOP-based protocol, was constructed based on expression levels of the six genes in these 36 dogs using logistic regression models. After internal validation, sensitivity and specificity of the scoring system were 0.759 and 0.853, respectively. External validation was conducted in another cohort of 33 dogs with lymphoma, and sensitivity and specificity of the scoring system were 0.800 and 0.696, respectively. In conclusion, this study identified six genes associated with resistance to drugs used in CHOP-based protocol in canine lymphoma and proposed a novel scoring system to predict resistance to these drugs. This system might be beneficial in selecting the most appropriate chemotherapy protocol for individual dogs with lymphoma.

Objective: Hearing loss (HL) is associated with depression, but existing datasets are limited by the type of data available for both hearing and mental health conditions. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an association between HL and depressive disorders within a large bi-institutional electronic health record (EHR) system containing more granular diagnostic information.

Background: To correlate between immunohistochemical expression of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), and natural killer (NK) cells with the AJCC 8th edition TNM staging system and other disease-modifying clinico-pathological variables.
Methods: The representative histology sections of tumor invasive margin (IM) and tumor core (TC) were selected according to the International Immuno-Oncology Biomarker Working Group and were subjected to immunohistochemistry with antibodies for TILs (CD3, CD8, FOXP3), NK Cells (CD57), TAMs (CD68, CD163) and pan-leukocyte marker (CD45). Histo-immuno-density-intensity (HIDI) scoring was calculated as a product of the proportion and intensity of staining.

Background: Degeneration of the basal forebrain cholinergic system is a hallmark feature shared by Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Lewy body disease (LBD) whereas hippocampus atrophy is more specifically related to AD. We aimed to investigate the relationship between basal forebrain and hippocampus atrophy, cognitive decline, and neuropathology in a large autopsy sample.
Methods: Data were obtained from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC).
