The malignancy of gastro-intestinal carcinoids is dependent on localisation and size of the tumor. Tumors of the small bowel seem to have a tissue infiltration depth and extension independent of the primary tumor size. We give a case report of a patient with a carcinoid tumor in the terminal ileum with a diameter of 5 mm and a tissue infiltration depth to submucosa. Based on the immunohistochemical investigation of lymphnode metastases for little, accidentally found carcinoids in the ileum a hemicolectomy with wide mesenteric lymph resection is necessary.

Objectives: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are tissue-resident lymphocytes that have vital roles in activating further immune responses. However, due to their tumor-induced diversity, we decided to examine ILCs, T cells, and the associated cytokines in mouse models of breast cancer.

Materials And Methods: 4T1 and MC4-L2 cells were used to induce triple-negative and hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, respectively.

Objectives: Ellagic acid (EA) is a natural polyphenol with anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and other effects. However, the role of EA in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI) remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the neuroprotective effects of EA in CIRI.

Human natural killer (NK) cells can be sub-divided into two functional subsets but the clinical significance of these CD56 and CD56 NK cells in anti-tumour immunity remains largely unexplored. We determined the relative abundances of gene signatures for CD56 and CD56 NK cells along with 3 stromal and 18 other immune cell types in the patient tumour transcriptomes from the cancer genome atlas bladder cancer dataset (TCGA-BLCA). Using this computational approach, CD56 NK cells were predicted to be the more abundant tumour-infiltrating NK subset which was also associated with improved patient prognosis.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induces tissue hypoxia, resulting in disrupted energy metabolism and heightened oxidative stress. These factors contribute to tubular cell damage, which is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) and can progress to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AKI.

Introduction: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the intestines with a rising global incidence. Traditional diagnostic and therapeutic methods have limitations, necessitating the exploration of more effective strategies.

Methods: In this study, we employed the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify genes that are differentially expressed in CD.
