To publish a rare case of Kimura's Disease in Temporal Bone. A 27 year-old male presenting with history of right ear pain and discharge for 2 months was thoroughly evaluated by clinical evaluation, hematological, radiological and histopathological study. Clinical examination revealed a bulge in posterior-inferior quadrant right side of tympanic membrane. HRCT temporal bone revealed a heterogeneous attenuating focal lesion is noted in the region of right middle ear cavity, mastoid antrum mastoid air cells in continuation with the superior aspect of right jugular foramen with erosions and bone destructions, involving the mastoid air cells and sinus plate. Patient was managed surgically with right side canal wall down mastoidectomy and Type 1 Tympanoplasty. Histopathological examination showed focal ulcerated stratified epithelium, dilated elongated congested blood vessels and hemorrhage. Diagnosis was made as Kimura's disease.

Spermatogenesis is one of the most complex processes of cell differentiation and its failure is a major cause of male infertility. Therefore, a proper model that recapitulates spermatogenesis in vitro has been long sought out for basic and clinical research. Testis organ culture using the gas-liquid interphase method has been shown to support spermatogenesis in mice and rats.

Aberrant immune responses to viral pathogens contribute to pathogenesis, but our understanding of pathological immune responses caused by viruses within the human virome, especially at a population scale, remains limited. We analyzed whole-genome sequencing datasets of 6,321 Japanese individuals, including patients with autoimmune diseases (psoriasis vulgaris, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) or multiple sclerosis) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), or healthy controls. We systematically quantified two constituents of the blood DNA virome, endogenous HHV-6 (eHHV-6) and anellovirus.

Human dentin performs its function throughout life, even though it is not remodeled like bone. Therefore, dentin must have extreme durability against daily repetitive loading. Elucidating its durability requires a comprehensive understanding of its shape, structure, and anisotropy at various levels of its structure.

Background: Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common form of degenerative dementia in older people. The clinical feature of DLB includes cognitive impairment, visual hallucinations, parkinsonism, and fluctuating attention. Three genes, SNCA (-synuclein), APOE (apolipoprotein E), and GBA (glucosylceramidase), have been convincingly demonstrated to be associated with DLB.

However, their accuracy for predicting amyloid-positive patients in community-based cohorts is unclear. This study aimed to determine the predictive accuracy of Aβ precursor protein 669-711/Aβ1-42, Aβ1-40/1-42 and their composite biomarkers for brain amyloid deposition or the clinical progression in community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
