Numerous diseases can lead to multinodular lesions of liver and spleen; surgical biopsy can be required for the etiologic diagnosis. Among these diseases, systemic cat scratch disease has been recently described. Macroscopical appearance of the lesions is evocative and must be known by surgeons. Three children with systemic cat scratch disease involving liver and spleen are reported.

Outcomes following immunosuppressive therapy withdrawal after complete renal response in proliferative lupus nephritis.

Department of Rheumatology, Bellvitge University Hospital, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain.
Objective: To investigate the rate and factors influencing renal relapse (RR) in proliferative lupus nephritis (LN) patients who discontinued immunosuppressive therapy (IST), as well as the long-term renal outcomes following RR.
Methods: Retrospective, single-centre study of biopsy-confirmed LN patients who had received IST for at least 36 months and maintained complete renal response (CRR) for a minimum of 12 months before therapy discontinuation.
Results: Of a total of 106 patients meeting the inclusion criteria, 76 with proliferative classes were selected for analysis.
Pasteurella multocida Bacteremia in an Immunocompromised Patient With Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.

is a facultative anaerobic Gram-negative coccobacillus that represents a rare cause of systemic infection in immunocompromised patients. This report presents the case of a 59-year-old man with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus, recently undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy, halted due to cytopenias, including neutropenia. The patient, who owned a cat but denied any recent bites or scratches, developed bacteremia caused by with presumed pulmonary and renal foci.

The chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) has been widely used for treating solid tumors attributed to its antiproliferative effectiveness; however, its clinical use is limited due to side effects, including cardiotoxicity, myelosuppression, and drug resistance. Combining DOX with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), a glutathione (GSH) synthesis inhibitor, showed promising results in overcoming these adverse effects, potentially reducing the required DOX dose while maintaining efficacy. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of different concentrations of BSO and DOX, both individually and in combination, utilizing B16/F10 (murine melanoma), SNB-19 (human glioblastoma), S180 (murine sarcoma), and SVEC4-10 (murine endothelial) cell lines.

Iron overload has been shown to have deleterious effects in the brain through the formation of reactive oxygen species, which ultimately may contribute to neurodegenerative disorders. Accordingly, rodent studies have indicated that systemic administration of iron produces excess iron in the brain and results in behavioral and cognitive deficits. To what extent cognitive abilities are affected and which neurobiological mechanisms underlie those deficits remain to be more fully characterized.
