The diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) became easier in relation to the improved radiological examinations; however, the neoplasm may occur under atypical presentations mimicking other benign or malignant processes. Several mechanisms for the cystic changes of HCC have been suggested, including arterial thrombosis, inflammation, and rapid tumor growth. This paper reports an uncommon case of a 74-year-old patient, who presented with pain in the upper right abdomen and large cystic mass involving right lobe of the liver. He was diagnosed as cystic HCC, in the absence of cirrhosis, after surgery.

Aortic regurgitation in ankylosing spondylitis-an echocardiography follow-up study.
Clin Rheumatol
January 2025
Department of Rheumatology and Inflammation Research, Institute of Medicine at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Göteborg, Sweden.
Objectives: To investigate the long-term course of aortic regurgitation (AR) and the width of the proximal ascending aorta (PAA) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Method: This is a follow-up cohort study of patients with AS examined with echocardiography at inclusion (2009 to 2011). Out of the initial 187, a subgroup of 52 patients (54% men, mean age 62 years) was selected for follow-up based on presence/absence of AR at baseline; 26 with AR (18 mild, 7 moderate, 1 severe) and 26 age/sex-matched without AR.
Extracellular acyl-CoA-binding protein as an independent biomarker of COVID-19 disease severity.
Front Immunol
January 2025
Inflammation and Immunity in Global Health Program, Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Background: Factors leading to severe COVID-19 remain partially known. New biomarkers predicting COVID-19 severity that are also causally involved in disease pathogenesis could improve patient management and contribute to the development of innovative therapies. Autophagy, a cytosolic structure degradation pathway is involved in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, degradation of intracellular pathogens and generation of energy for immune responses.

Front Med (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, China.
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an interstitial lung disease characterized by chronic inflammation and progressive fibrosis. The blood urea nitrogen-to-albumin ratio (BAR) is a comprehensive parameter associated with inflammation status; however, it is unknown whether the BAR can predict the prognosis of IPF.
Methods: This retrospective study included 176 patients with IPF, and 1-year all-cause mortality of these patients was recorded.
Increased platelet aggregation in hepatic tissue of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease-an observational study.
Front Med (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Hepatology, Shenzhen Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.
Objective: The study aimed to observe the quantity of platelet aggregation in the hepatic tissue of patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and its relationship with hepatic inflammation, fibrosis, and fatty degeneration.
Methods: Clinical data of 55 patients with MAFLD and 25 patients without MAFLD, admitted to the Shenzhen Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from December 2020 to May 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Liver tissue obtained by liver biopsy underwent routine pathological examination.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is closely linked to the aging process, making the identification of protein biomarkers that reflect aging in specific organs and tissues crucial for a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. This study aimed to identify potential aging-related proteins present in the urine of CKD patients. Utilizing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) proteomic analysis, we identified a total of 1,712 proteins in the urine samples from both healthy controls and CKD patients in our discovery cohort.
