Respiratory symptoms are rarely reported as side effects of oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and Leucovorin(FOLFOX)therapy. We report a case of a patient with FOLFOX-induced unilateral interstitial pneumonia. The patient was a 68-year-old man who underwent ileocecal resection of cecum cancer. FOLFOX regimen was started as an adjuvant chemotherapy. After the administration of 11 courses, he visited our hospital with fever, dyspnea, and anorexia. We diagnosed this as FOLFOX- induced unilateral interstitial pneumonia through a blood test, chest radiograph, computed tomography, and bronchoscopy. Treatment was started with 30 mg of prednisolone, and the dosage was gradually decreased. The patient responded well to the treatment and was discharged from the hospital without any complications on the 33th day after admission.

Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is a common pathway in chronic kidney disease (CKD) that ultimately leads to end-stage renal failure, worsening both glomerulosclerosis and interstitial fibrosis. Ten percent of the adult population in the world suffers from CKD, and as the ageing population continues to rise, it is increasingly regarded as a global threat-a silent epidemic. CKD has been discovered to be closely associated with both long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs), while the precise molecular processes behind this relationship are still unclear.

Renal interstitial fibrosis is the main factor determining chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, and renal tubular epithelial cells are the key drivers of this pathological process. Herein, we revealed significantly increased ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10) expression in the kidney tissues of both patients with CKD and mice induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction, as well as in transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGFβ1)-induced renal tubular epithelial cells. In vivo, treatment with the USP10 small molecule inhibitor Spautin-1, which inhibits its deubiquitinating activity, weakened renal interstitial fibrosis progression and alleviated the subsequent inflammatory response and oxidative stress in male mice.

Pemetrexed is a chemotherapeutic, antimetabolite agent that has been used in oncology to treat diseases such as metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma. Pemetrexed use may result in pseudocellulitis, which presents as poorly demarcated patches or plaques with erythema, edema, warmth, and tenderness. These lesions can present unilaterally or bilaterally on the lower extremities.

Lip ulcers associated with endotracheal tube fixation are a known complication in adults, but their prevalence in neonates and preterm infants remains unclear. We report a case of a right oral commissure ulcer that developed during endotracheal tube fixation at the right oral commissure and left lateral decubitus positioning in an extremely preterm infant with unilateral pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE). A male infant was born at 24 weeks and four days of gestation, weighing 696 gm.
