Article Synopsis
- Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) histochemistry is an effective diagnostic tool for Hirschsprung's disease (HD), and calretinin immunohistochemistry can complement its accuracy.
- A study analyzed 99 rectal biopsy samples, revealing that 93.5% of HD cases were accurately detected with AchE, while calretinin showed 100% sensitivity but lower specificity at 85.2%.
- The findings suggest that using both AchE and calretinin techniques together enhances the diagnostic accuracy for Hirschsprung's disease.

Cysteine X cysteine (CXC) chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12) were originally identified as chemoattractants between immune cells and sites of inflammation. Since studies have validated an increased level of CXCL12 and its receptor in patients with colorectal cancers, CXCL12/CXCR4 axis has been considered as a valuable marker of cancer metastasis. Therefore, identification of CXCR4 inhibitors has great potential to abrogate tumor metastasis.

The purpose of this study was to compare the resting-state plasma catecholamine and anxiety levels of Korean male adolescents with Internet game addiction (IGA) and those without IGA. This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted with 230 male high school students in a South Korean city. Convenience and snowball sampling methods were employed, and data were collected using (1) participant blood samples analyzed for dopamine (DA), epinephrine (Epi), and norepinephrine (NE) and (2) two questionnaires to assess IGA and anxiety levels.
