Erosive adenomatosis of the nipple (EAN) is an uncommon, benign neoplasm that involves the nipple. Traditional treatments include complete surgical excision, limited forms of complete surgical excision and Mohs micrographic surgery. Here, we report a case of a 40-year-old woman with a 2-year history of asymptomatic erosion, papillomatous hyperplasia and intermittent serosanguineous discharge on her right nipple. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of EAN. She was treated with 5-aminolevulinic acid induced photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) for 2 sessions with 2 weeks intervals. No recurrence occurred within 6 months. Therefore, our report suggested that ALA-PDT is a possible method to treat EAN, especially in patients who have the need of breastfeeding and cosmetic appearance, but this needs to be examined in a larger clinical trial.

Transcriptome sequencing reveals jasmonate playing a key role in ALA-induced osmotic stress tolerance in strawberry.

Background: Strawberry (Fragaria × annanasa Duch.) is an important economic fruit worldwide, whose growth and development are often hindered by water deficiency. 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a natural plant growth regulator, has been suggested to mitigate the osmotic damages by promoting root water absorption, osmotic adjustment, photosynthetic capacity, and antioxidant improvement.

Glioblastoma remains the most common and lethal primary malignant brain tumour, with high rates of recurrence and progression despite gross-total resection of the contrast-enhancing region based on T1-weighted MRI. There has been growing interest in exploring "supramaximal" resections that extend beyond contrast-enhancing borders, with initial retrospective data suggesting survival benefit, but there is currently no consensus definition. In this systematic review, we explore the evolution of supramaximal resection in glioblastoma, dissect the incongruencies in the literature regarding its definition, qualitatively appraise each definition and discuss the results of various studies that have explored its impacts on patient outcomes.

The effects of drought stress on stomatal opening dynamics, plant volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and plant-insect interactions have been well-documented individually, but how they interact mechanistically remains poorly studied. Here, we studied how drought-triggered stomatal closure affects VOC emission and plant-trophic interactions by combining RNAi silencing, molecular biological and chemical analyses (GC-MS) of a potato-tuber moth-egg parasitoid tritrophic system. Drought stress attenuated stomatal apertures and VOC emissions, which made the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.

Sonodynamic therapy is an emerging therapeutic approach against brain tumours. However, the treatment scheme and ultrasound parameters have yet to be explored for clinical translation. Our study aimed to optimize ultrasound parameters for sonodynamic therapy (SDT) with 5-ALA as a sonosensitizing agent and to evaluate its therapeutic outcome on the rodent 9L gliosarcoma and the human U87 glioblastoma models.

This study investigated whether intravenous administration of tumor cells killed by photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) had antitumor effects on distal tumors. Furthermore, a novel extracorporeal blood circulating 5-ALA/PDT system was developed. 5-ALA/PDT- (low or high irradiation) or anticancer drug-treated cells were intravenously administered to rats in a glioma cancer model.
