Oncocytic adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant adrenal cortical tumor with limited documented case reports. Herein, a 65-year-old female patient presented with a large, solid adrenal mass. A diagnosis of oncocytic ACC was rendered with the following tumor characteristics: The tumor entirely consists of diffuse sheets of polygonal cells with bizarre nuclear atypia and deeply eosinophilic cytoplasm.

Fatty acid oxidation is of uncertain importance in most stem cells. We show by C-palmitate tracing and metabolomic analysis that hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) engage in long-chain fatty acid oxidation that depends upon carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT1a) and hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HADHA) enzymes. CPT1a or HADHA deficiency had little or no effect on HSPCs or hematopoiesis in young adult mice.

Background: Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a chronic disease of the gastric mucosa characterized by a reduction or an absolute disappearance of the original gastric glands, possibly replaced by pseudopyloric fibrosis, intestinal metaplasia, or fibrosis. CAG develops progressively into intestinal epithelial metaplasia, dysplasia, and ultimately, gastric cancer. Epidemiological statistics have revealed a positive correlation between the incidence of CAG and age.

Ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in conditions like kidney transplants, cardiac surgeries, and nephrectomy, contributing to high global mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to analyze the protective effects of 2'-hydroxychalcones in treating I/R-induced AKI by targeting key pathological pathways. Considering strong antioxidant action along with other pharmacological roles of chalcone derivatives, six 2'-hydroxychalcones were synthesized via Claisen-Schmidt condensation and analyzed for their protective effects in an I/R induced AKI model using HK-2 cells.

Chang-Wei-Qing (CWQ) is a widely recognized Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulation composed of Astragalus, Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Poria, Coix seed, Akebia trifoliata Koidz, Sargentodoxa cuneata, and Vitis quinquangularis Rehd. This formulation has garnered significant interest for its positive effects in mitigating colorectal cancer, and when combined with PD-1, it affects some gut microbiota associated with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes cells. However, the biological rationale underlying the suppression of colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) in AOM/DSS-treated mice by CWQ combined with PD-1 inhibitor remains to be explored.
