Successful Treatment of Plasma Cell-Rich Acute Rejection Using Bortezomib: A Case Report.

Plasma cell-rich acute rejection (PCAR), a relatively rare subtype of acute allograft rejection, is usually associated with a significantly lower treatment response rate and a higher graft failure rate. PCAR is characterized by the presence of more than 10% of plasma cells out of all graft infiltrating cells, with approximately 40%-60% of PCAR resulting in graft failure within a year. Currently, there is no gold standard for the effective treatment of PCAR.

Intracranial malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor: A case report and comprehensive literature review.

Background: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare malignant soft-tissue sarcomas arising from peripheral nerves. Little data exist regarding MPNST originating intracranially. Here, we present a 7/8 nerve complex MPNST, discuss the treatment strategy and patient outcome, and provide a comprehensive review of existing literature.

Discrepancy Analysis between Histology and Molecular Diagnoses in Kidney Allograft Biopsies: A Single-Center Experience.

Histology diagnosis is essential for the monitoring and management of kidney transplant patients. Nowadays, the accuracy and reproducibility of histology have been criticized when compared with molecular microscopy diagnostic system (MMDx). Our cohort included 95 renal allograft biopsies with both histology and molecular diagnoses.
