We report a rare case of 32-year-old female with malignant reninoma complicated by pulmonary metastasis and ATRX mutation (p.G1964*, VAF 23.73%), initially misdiagnosed as renal pelvic carcinoma and treated with radical left nephrectomy and ureterectom…
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a metastasis-prone malignancy that is highly prevalent in endemic regions. Epigenetic dysregulation, including aberrant DNA/RNA/protein methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA networks, contributes to NP…
IntroductionSjögren’s disease (SjD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by dry mouth (xerostomia) and dry eyes (xerophthalmia) due to inflammation in exocrine glands, particularly the salivary and lacrimal glands. The condition presents a wi…
BackgroundChronic hepatitis B (CHB) caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a major global health burden. The immune-active (IA) phase, characterized by positive Hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAg), elevated alanine transaminase (ALT) levels, an…
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with limited therapeutic options following the failure of standard adjuvant therapies. We present a 54-year-old female with stage IV cortisol-secreting ACC that progressed despite radical adrenalectom…
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder primarily characterized by persistent facial erythema, episodic flushing, papules and pustules, as well as phymatous changes. Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of rosacea has not yet been fully…
BackgroundImmune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has improved outcomes for a subset of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, yet the cellular determinants that drive heterogeneous treatment responses remain insufficiently understood. The extent to which ICB resh…
IntroductionNeutrophils, the most abundant leukocyte population, play a central role in host defense against group B Streptococcus (GBS), an encapsulated bacterium that frequently causes severe infections in humans, including sepsis and meningitis. How…
Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Hexokinase II, a key rate-limiting enzyme in tumor glycolysis, is an important therapeutic target. In this study, we rep…
Allergic rhinitis (AR), asthma, and their combined allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome (CARAS) frequently coexist. However, the underlying pathophysiological and metabolic mechanisms, as well as reliable diagnostic differentiation, remain challenging…
