This case report describes a 41-year-old man with a progressively enlarging, painful vegetative lesion in the perianal region, ultimately diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), through a punch biopsy. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping was performed via preoperative lymphoscintigraphy utilizing 99mTc-Phytate. Notably, an SLN was identified in an atypical location, below the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) in the subcutaneous tissue, diverging from typical drainage patterns associated with perianal SCC. Surgical excision of the SLNs revealed no evidence of tumoral involvement. This case underscores the importance of personalized assessment with preoperative lymphoscintigraphy in atypical lymphatic drainage patterns for effective staging and treatment of malignancies such as peri-anal SCC.

In patients with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), surgery may be required to remove squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the hands or to correct pseudo-syndactyly. Dermal substitutes may represent a suitable tool to promote the healing of surgical wounds in EB. We review our experience with a collagen-elastin dermal matrix to promote surgical wound healing due to hand surgery to correct pseudo-syndactyly or SCC resection in patients affected by EB.

Asthma, a prevalent allergic disease affecting approximately 300 million individuals globally, remains a significant public health challenge. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), both recognized for their immunomodulatory properties, hold therapeutic potential for asthma. However, their precise mechanisms remain underexplored.

Lactic acid bacteria are widely recognized for their probiotic properties, and their adhesion to the gastrointestinal tract is a prerequisite for their probiotic functions. This investigation aimed to screen a highly adherent strain and explore the impact of its surface lipoteichoic acid (LTA) on strain adhesion to intestinal epithelial cells and the immunomodulatory activity. Results demonstrated that ZJ316 exhibited remarkable surface properties and superior adhesion to enterocytes, and the fluorescent labeling revealed that ZJ316 predominantly adhered to the cecum in mice.

The peremptory need to circumvent challenges associated with poorly differentiated epithelial endometrial cancers (PDEECs), also known as Type II endometrial cancers (ECs), has prompted therapeutic interrogation of the prototypically intractable and most prevalent gynecological malignancy. PDEECs account for most endometrial cancer-related mortalities due to their aggressive nature, late-stage detection, and poor response to standard therapies. PDEECs are characterized by heterogeneous histopathological features and distinct molecular profiles, and they pose significant clinical challenges due to their propensity for rapid progression.
