Digital papillary adenocarcinoma (DPAC) is a rare, low-grade sweat gland carcinoma primarily found on the hands, fingers, or toes and predominantly affecting males. Distinguishing DPAC from benign sweat gland tumors can be challenging. We present the case of a 52-year-old patient with a progressive tumor on the finger initially misdiagnosed as a viral wart.

Chronic kidney disease and aging: dissecting the p53/p21 pathway as a therapeutic target.

Biogerontology

December 2024

Centre for Global Health Research, Saveetha Medical College, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai, India.

Chronic kidney diseases (CKD) are a group of multi-factorial disorders that markedly impair kidney functions with progressive renal deterioration. Aging contributes to age-specific phenotypes in kidneys, which undergo several structural and functional alterations, such as a decline in regenerative capacity and increased fibrosis, inflammation, and tubular atrophy, all predisposing them to disease and increasing their susceptibility to injury while impeding their recovery. A central feature of these age-related processes is the activation of the p53/p21 pathway signaling.

Immunosuppressant drug tacrolimus inhibits HUVEC angiogenesis and production of placental growth factor.

Placenta

December 2024

The Ritchie Centre, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, School of Clinical Sciences, Monash University, Clayton, VIC, Australia.

Background: Tacrolimus is a cornerstone of immunosuppression in solid organ transplants, but its use is linked with the development of endothelial dysfunction. Pregnant solid organ transplant recipients are four to six times more likely to develop preeclampsia, which is also associated with endothelial dysfunction. Therefore, this in vitro study investigated the acute effects of tacrolimus on the expression of common angiogenic factors related to preeclampsia, and effects on angiogeneis in primary human tissues.

Cataluminescence Sensor Based on Halloysite Nanotubes/MgO Nanocomposite for Rapid Detection of Ether.

Luminescence

December 2024

Henan Key Laboratory of Biomolecular Recognition and Sensing, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shangqiu Normal University, Shangqiu, China.

MgO surface makes it easy to introduce a certain amount of oxygen vacancy and can enhance catalytic reaction activity. Besides, as a silicoaluminate mineral material, halloysite nanotube (HNT) has a unique tubular structure. In this paper, the HNTs@MgO composite was successfully synthesized based on natural clay material HNTs as a carrier, and the CTL sensor based on HNTs@MgO was successfully developed for the rapid determination of ether in air.
