PDGFRαITGA11 fibroblasts foster early-stage cancer lymphovascular invasion and lymphatic metastasis via ITGA11-SELE interplay.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) exhibit considerable heterogeneity in advanced cancers; however, the functional annotation and mechanism of CAFs in early-stage cancers remain elusive. Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic, we identify a previously unknown PDGFRαITGA11 CAF subset in early-stage bladder cancer (BCa). Multicenter clinical analysis of a 910-case cohort confirms that PDGFRαITGA11 CAFs are associated with lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and poor prognosis in early-stage BCa.

Effects of flora deficiency on the structure and function of the large intestine.

The significant anatomical changes in large intestine of germ-free (GF) mice provide excellent material for understanding microbe-host crosstalk. We observed significant differences of GF mice in anatomical and physiological involving in enlarged cecum, thinned mucosal layer and enriched water in cecal content. Furthermore, integration analysis of multi-omics data revealed the associations between the structure of large intestinal mesenchymal cells and the thinning of the mucosal layer.

Plaque characteristics associated with failure of primary balloon angioplasty for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis: a retrospective study.

Background: Primary balloon angioplasty (PBA) is an alternative treatment approach for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS); however, its efficacy may be compromised by arterial dissection or early elastic recoil after balloon dilation. This study aimed to explore the association between plaque characteristics on high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI) and failure of PBA for ICAS.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 113 patients with ICAS who underwent HR-VWI before endovascular treatment.

The development of intensive care medicine is inseparable from the diversified monitoring data. Intensive care medicine has been closely integrated with data since its birth. Critical care research requires an integrative approach that embraces the complexity of critical illness and the computational technology and algorithms that can make it possible.

Early M-protein immune reconstitution after autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a good prognostic marker for patients with high-risk cytogenetic multiple myeloma.

The presence of transient abnormal protein banding (M-protein immune reconstitution) in serum immunofixation electrophoresis after autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma has been reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of post-transplant M-protein immune reconstitution on the prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma. M-protein immune reconstitution was observed in 25.

Case Report: Acute cerebral infarction as the initial manifestation of malignant tumors with trousseau syndrome in the elderly.

Both acute cerebral infarction and malignant tumors are prevalent in the elderly. However, acute cerebral infarction is rarely present as the first clinical manifestation of malignant tumors. By searching the Picture Archiving and Communication System from 2010 to 2022 and the medical record database from 2003 to 2022, we found three cases of Trousseau syndrome, one male and two females with an average age of 69.

Leydig cell metabolic disorder act as a new mechanism affecting for focal spermatogenesis in Klinefelter syndrome patients: a real world cross-sectional study base on the age.

Background: Klinefelter's syndrome (KS) was once considered infertile due to congenital chromosomal abnormalities, but the presence of focal spermatozoa changed this. The key to predict and promote spermatogenesis is to find targets that regulate focal spermatogenesis.

Objective: To explore the trend of fertility changes in KS patients at different ages and identify potential therapeutic targets.

The P38MAPK/ATF2 signaling pathway is involved in PND in mice.

Accumulating evidence indicates that microglia-mediated neuroinflammation in the hippocampus contributes to the development of perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND). P38MAPK, a point of convergence for different signaling processes involved in inflammation, can be activated by various stresses. This study aims to investigate the role of the P38MAPK/ATF2 signaling pathway in the development of PND in mice.

Feasibility and Measurement Value of Pancreatic 2-D Shear Wave Elastography in Healthy Adults: Evaluation, Influencing Factors, Reference Range, Measurement Stability and Reproducibility.

Objective: The present study was aimed at assessing the success rate and measurement value, determining the influencing factors and reference range and examining the intra-operator stability and inter-operator reproducibility of pancreatic 2-D shear wave elastography (SWE) measurement in healthy adults.

Methods: In 2022, 387 healthy adults were prospectively recruited. Logistic regression and linear regression analyses were used to explore the factors influencing the success rate and the measurement value of pancreatic 2-D SWE measurement, respectively.

Bladder cancer intrinsic LRFN2 drives anticancer immunotherapy resistance by attenuating CD8 T cell infiltration and functional transition.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy improves the survival of patients with advanced bladder cancer (BLCA); however, its overall effectiveness is limited, and many patients still develop immunotherapy resistance. The leucine-rich repeat and fibronectin type-III domain-containing protein (LRFN) family has previously been implicated in regulating brain dysfunction; however, the mechanisms underlying the effect of LRFN2 on the tumor microenvironment (TME) and immunotherapy remain unclear.

Methods: Here we combined bulk RNA sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing, ProcartaPlex multiple immunoassays, functional experiments, and TissueFAXS panoramic tissue quantification assays to demonstrate that LRFN2 shapes a non-inflammatory TME in BLCA.

Lysine butyrylation of HSP90 regulated by KAT8 and HDAC11 confers chemoresistance.

Posttranslational modification dramatically enhances protein complexity, but the function and precise mechanism of novel lysine acylation modifications remain unknown. Chemoresistance remains a daunting challenge to successful treatment. We found that lysine butyrylation (Kbu) is specifically upregulated in chemoresistant tumor cells and tissues.

Erythrocyte membrane -3 PUFA are inversely associated with breast cancer risk among Chinese women.

The relationship between erythrocyte membrane -3 PUFA and breast cancer risk is controversial. We aimed to examine the associations of erythrocyte membrane -3 PUFA with odds of breast cancer among Chinese women by using a relatively large sample size. A case-control study was conducted including 853 newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed breast cancer cases and 892 frequency-matched controls (5-year interval).

Mutant KRAS Mediates circARFGEF2 Biogenesis to Promote Lymphatic Metastasis of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

Unlabelled: Circular RNAs (circRNA) contribute to cancer stemness, proliferation, and metastasis. The biogenesis of circRNAs can be impacted by the genetic landscape of tumors. Herein, we identified a novel circRNA, circARFGEF2 (hsa_circ_0060665), which was upregulated in KRASG12D pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and positively associated with KRASG12D PDAC lymph node (LN) metastasis.

Variant of subclavian steal syndrome: unusual anatomical relationship between left subclavian artery and left vertebral artery.

A woman in her 70s presented to her general practitioner (GP) with a 3-month history of left upper arm pain and weakness. A significant difference in bilateral blood pressures was noted and a further history elicited coolness in her left arm without functional compromise. A CT angiography revealed variant subclavian steal syndrome with a subclavian arterial stenosis, which was proximal to both the internal mammary and thyrocervical trunk and her left vertebral artery originating from the aortic arch.
