Abdomino-aortic glands are usually involved by regional extension of germinal tumors of testis. Inguinal gland extension may occur from alteration of lymphatic circulation due to inguinoscrotal surgery and post-orchidectomy scrotal contamination. Among 140 patients treated in Val-de-Grâce Army Hospital between 1978 and 1985, only one patient with a pure non-seminoma germinal tumor developed inguinal gland metastases. Causes of inguinal gland extension are analyzed based on past history of this patient, involving repair of inguinal hernia and orchidopexy. Proposed therapy includes inguinoscrotal radiotherapy for seminoma, surveillance or chemotherapy for a pure non-seminoma germinal tumor.

Metastasis of prostate cancer to the testes is exceptionally rare. We report the case of a 67-year-old male with a 10-year history of high-risk prostate cancer, previously treated and currently in remission, who presented with left scrotal swelling. The swelling was clinically and radiologically diagnosed as a hydrocele and treated surgically.

To investigate the changes in thyroid morphology and function in mice with thyroid-specific knockout of the clock gene Bmal1 under high-fat diet (HFD), and to examine its effects on glycolipid metabolism in mice. Construct a mouse model with specific knockout of the Bmal1 gene in the thyroid (T-Bmal1) (knockout group, =10), and use Bmal1 mice without thyroid peroxidase-cyclization recombination enzyme (T-Bmal1) as the control group (non-knockout group, =10). The mice were fed until 6 weeks (body weight 20-23 g), and then use the random number table method to evenly divide each group of mice into two subgroups.

Inflammatory skin diseases impose a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems worldwide. Among these, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is particularly notable for its chronic and recurrent nature. Recurrent nodules, abscesses, and scarring in apocrine gland-rich areas characterize the disease, including the groin, axillae, and perianal regions.

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects hair follicles in areas with apocrine sweat glands, such as the underarms, groin, and buttocks. The pathogenesis of HS is not fully understood, but considering the key role played by the biological clock in the control of immune/inflammatory processes the derangement of circadian and ultradian pathways could be hypothesized.
Methods: We analyzed genome-wide DNA methylation patterns in peripheral blood from 24 HS cases and 24 controls using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip array (Illumina), followed by bioinformatics and statistical analyses.
