Malignant pleural mesothelioma with constrictive pericarditis as the first manifestation: A case report.

Pleural mesothelioma (PM) with pericardial involvement is extremely rare. We now report a rare case of malignant PM with constrictive pericarditis as the first presentation. A 59-year-old male diagnosed with constrictive pericarditis underwent pericardiectomy and pericardial pathology revealed mesothelial hyperplasia.

Glutamine ameliorates intestinal ischemia-reperfusion Injury in rats by activating the Nrf2/Are signaling pathway.

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-mediated intestinal mucosal injury is usually induced by oxygen-derived toxic free radicals from the xanthine oxidase system after reperfusion, but the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying glutamine protection is still unclear. This study aims to elucidate whether glutamine prevents damage to the intestinal mucosa after I/R in rats and to investigate signaling by the Nrf2/ARE pathway induced by GLN in a rat model. Our results revealed that Glutamine pretreatment reduced jejunum injury and microvascular hyper-permeability induced by I/R.

Benign notochordal cell tumor: a retrospective study of 11 cases with 13 vertebra bodies.

Purpose: To analyze the clinical data, MRI, pathological diagnosis, treatment and long-term effects of benign notochordal cell tumor (BNCT), a newly described novel spine tumor.

Methods: We retrospectively studied 11 patients' clinical data of the above.

Results: The ratio of males to females was 4:7, and the average age was 49.
