Objective: This study was done to quantify the prevalence of high cytokeratin (CK) 19 expression in Indonesian oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients and explore the prognostic role of CK19 in OSCC.
Methods: Clinical data and samples from 61 patients diagnosed with OSCC at a tertiary national referral hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia were analyzed in this retrospective cohort study. Immunohistochemical staining of CK19 was performed on all patients and its expression was scored using the H system. All patients were followed up for a minimum of 36 months after diagnosis. Comparative and survival analyses were performed.
Results: Twenty six point two percent of Indonesian OSCC patients had high CK19 expression. There were no differences in clinicopathological characteristics between patients with low and high CK19 expression. The 3-year overall survival (OS) of our cohort was 11.5%. Patients with high CK19 expression had lower 3-year OS compared to patients with low CK19 expression, even if the difference in OS was not statistically significant. Keratinization was an independent prognostic factor for survival in multivariate regression analysis.
Conclusions: Data obtained here indicate a possible prognostic role of CK19 in OSCC. This prognostic role should be confirmed in larger series.

Scalable Bioreactor-based Suspension Approach to Generate Stem Cell-derived Islets From Healthy Donor-derived iPSCs.

Background: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer the potential to generate autologous iPSC-derived islets (iPSC islets), however, remain limited by scalability and product safety.
Methods: Herein, we report stagewise characterization of cells generated following a bioreactor-based differentiation protocol. Cell characteristics were assessed using flow cytometry, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, patch clamping, functional assessment, and in vivo functional and immunohistochemistry evaluation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of Immunohistochemistry (IHC) markers (CD56, HBME-1, CK19) in diagnosing malignant thyroid neoplasms, highlighting the challenges of distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions using traditional histopathology.
- Out of 60 thyroid specimens analyzed, 68.33% were found malignant, with significant loss of CD56 expression in malignant cases and high specificity for CK19 in differentiating follicular neoplasms.
- The research underscores the importance of incorporating IHC markers to improve diagnostic accuracy for thyroid cancers, particularly in cases of follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma.
Effects of miR-214-5p and miR-21-5p in hypoxic endometrial epithelial-cell-derived exosomes on human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells.

Background: Thin endometrium seriously affects endometrial receptivity, resulting in a significant reduction in embryo implantation, and clinical pregnancy and live birth rates, and there is no gold standard for treatment. The main pathophysiological characteristics of thin endometrium are increased uterine arterial blood flow resistance, angiodysplasia, slow growth of the glandular epithelium, and low expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, resulting in endometrial epithelial cell (EEC) hypoxia and endometrial tissue aplasia. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HucMSCs) promote repair and regeneration of damaged endometrium by secreting microRNA (miRNA)-carrying exosomes.

Background: The incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) mediated by human papilloma virus (HPV) has been steadily increasing worldwide. The specific pathogenesis of HPV-mediated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) usually induces carcinogenesis in the oropharynx and the roles of CK7, CK19 and p16 in the carcinogenesis mechanism of HPV-mediated OPSCC still remain uncertain.
Methods: We collected case data and paraffin samples of 69 cases of OPSCC and 40 cases of OSCC from July 2009 to December 2021.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how the Fuzheng huayu formula (FZHY) affects biliary fibrosis in mice by comparing its effects with obeticholic acid (OCA) and a control group.
- Mice were treated with specific drugs over a 12-week period, and various liver health indicators, including serum enzyme levels and tissue markers, were analyzed using multiple biochemical techniques.
- Results demonstrated that both FZHY and OCA effectively reduced the harmful effects of fibrosis in the gene knockout mice by reversing elevated liver indicators, improving markers of liver function, and influencing specific molecular pathways related to inflammation and cellular response.
