Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital entities most commonly found in the esophagus, ileum or colon but can be in remote locations such as the biliary tree, liver or pancreas. Pancreatic duplication cysts are very uncommon and usually present in adulthood with pancreatitis or abdominal pain. Here, we present a unique and complex case of an infant with a pancreatic duplication cyst initially presenting with an upper gastrointestinal bleed followed by pancreatitis, cyst infection and gastric outlet obstruction.

Whole genome and transcriptome analysis of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma elucidates mechanisms of homologous recombination deficiency and unravels novel relevant fusion events.

Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare pancreatic tumor with a heterogeneous clinical course and, except for radical surgery, limited treatment options. We present a comprehensive study encompassing whole-genome and RNA sequencing of 7 tumor samples from 3 metastatic PACC patients to further delineate its genomic landscape and potential therapeutic implications. Our findings reveal distinct signatures of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in patients harboring pathogenic germline BRCA1/2 and FANCL mutations, demonstrating favorable responses to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP) inhibitors with prolonged disease-free intervals.

Association of neutrophil percentage to albumin ratio with gallstones: a cross-sectional study from the United States NHANES.

BMC Public Health

December 2024

NHC Key Laboratory of Nuclear Technology Medical Transformation, School of Medicine, Mianyang Central Hospital, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Mianyang, 621000, China.

Background And Objective: The neutrophil percentage to albumin ratio (NPAR) is an emerging, costimulatory indicator of inflammation that is associated with a variety of diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between NPAR and gallstones (GS) has not yet been explored. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association of the NPAR with the odds of GS and the age of patients at the time of their first GS surgery.

Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) are rare congenital anomalies, often identified during infancy or childhood. Although typically benign, there have been sporadic reports of malignant transformations, including adenocarcinoma and rare mixed tumors. Herein, we describe a rare case of mixed pancreatobiliary ductal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma occurring within a GDC in a 54-year-old Korean woman with a history of melena and hematemesis.

Endoderm, one of three primary germ layers of vertebrate embryos, makes major contributions to the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts and associated organs, including liver and pancreas. In mammals, the transcription factor is vital for endoderm organ formation and can induce endoderm progenitor identity. Duplication of ancestral in the teleost lineage produced the paralogues and in zebrafish.

Pancreatic Neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms whose tumor biology is still little known. Thanks to next-generation sequencing, pathogenic mutations in base-excision-repair gene and homologous recombination genes and seem to have a role in the development of pNETs. We assumed that Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) could be a critical pathogenetic mechanism for pNETs.
