- Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks the expression of hormone and HER2 receptors and is highly malignant with no effective therapeutic targets. In TNBC, the cancer stem-like cell (CSC) population is considered to be the main cause of resistance to treatment. Thus, the therapeutic targeting of this population could substantially improve patient survival. Here, we identify the RNA-binding protein ZCCHC24 as enriched in the mesenchymal-like TNBC population. ZCCHC24 promotes the expression of a set of genes related to tumorigenicity and treatment resistance by directly binding to the cis-element "UGUWHWWA" in their mRNAs, thereby stabilizing them. One of the ZCCHC24 targets, ZEB1, is a transcription factor that promotes the expression of cancer stemness genes and reciprocally induces ZCCHC24 expression. ZCCHC24 knockdown by siRNAs shows a therapeutic effect and reduces the mesenchymal-like cell population in TNBC patient-derived xenografts. ZCCHC24 knockdown also has additive effects with the BET inhibitor JQ1 in suppressing tumor growth in TNBC patient-derived xenografts., Competing Interests: Disclosure and competing interests statement.

- Abstract
In clinical practice, urethral diseases are not as frequent as conditions affecting other components of the urinary system. Radiological imaging tests, such as retrograde urethrography, CT, MRI, and PET/CT, along with patient history, are crucial for accurately assessing relatively rare urethral lesions. This article aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of urethral lesions, from traumatic changes to neoplasms, and discuss the multimodal imaging findings of various urethral lesions that radiologists should know. To this end, the normal imaging anatomy of the urethra and a step-by-step approach that can be used in clinical practice have been presented to help in the systematic understanding of urethral lesions., (© 2024.

- Abstract
An 83-year-old woman presented with disturbance of consciousness and hand tremor. She had taken lithium carbonate 300 mg/day for bipolar disorder and magnesium oxide 660 mg/day for constipation. Blood tests revealed lithium poisoning, hypermagnesemia and acute kidney injury. Computed tomography showed colonic obstruction caused by cancer of the descending colon. In the outpatient section, her blood pressure decreased to 89/54 mmHg, and her heart rate dropped to 40 bpm. We considered that the obstructive ileus induced intravascular dehydration, which led to toxic serum concentrations of lithium and magnesium, triggering the emergence of severe arrythmia induced by sinus dysfunction. The patient was treated with fluid resuscitation and hemodialysis, followed by endoscopic stent replacement for the descending colon cancer obstruction. These treatments improved her general condition and alleviated the lithium poisoning, hypermagnesemia and colonic obstruction. Such a case is considered extremely rare., Competing Interests: We have no conflict of interest to declare., (© The Author(s) 2024. Published by Oxford University Press.)

- Abstract
Increasing pieces of evidence have suggested that astrocyte function has a strong influence on neuronal activity and plasticity, both in physiological and pathophysiological situations. In epilepsy, astrocytes have been shown to respond to epileptic neuronal seizures; however, whether they can act as a trigger for seizures has not been determined. Here, using the copper implantation method, spontaneous neuronal hyperactivity episodes were reliably induced during the week following implantation. With near 24-h continuous recording for over 1 week of the local field potential with in vivo electrophysiology and astrocyte cytosolic Ca
2+ with the fiber photometry method, spontaneous occurrences of seizure episodes were captured. Approximately 1 day after the implantation, isolated aberrant astrocyte Ca2+ events were often observed before they were accompanied by neuronal hyperactivity, suggesting the role of astrocytes in epileptogenesis. Within a single developed episode, astrocyte Ca2+ increase preceded the neuronal hyperactivity by ~20 s, suggesting that actions originating from astrocytes could be the trigger for the occurrence of epileptic seizures. Astrocyte-specific stimulation by channelrhodopsin-2 or deep-brain direct current stimulation was capable of inducing neuronal hyperactivity. Injection of an astrocyte-specific metabolic inhibitor, fluorocitrate, was able to significantly reduce the magnitude of spontaneously occurring neuronal hyperactivity. These results suggest that astrocytes have a role in triggering individual seizures and the reciprocal astrocyte-neuron interactions likely amplify and exacerbate seizures. Therefore, future epilepsy treatment could be targeted at astrocytes to achieve epilepsy control., (© 2024 The Authors. GLIA published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.)- Published

- Abstract
Background: Fine bubble (FB) bathing has shown benefits on a mouse model of atopic dermatitis (AD). However, its efficacy in dogs with AD remains to be evaluated., Objective: This study aimed to assess the clinical effectiveness of FB bathing in dogs with AD., Animals: Seventeen dogs with AD whose clinical presentation showed a Canine Atopic Dermatitis Extent and Severity Index, 4th iteration (CADESI-04) score of <40., Materials and Methods: The dogs were randomly assigned to either the FB bathing group or the shampoo group. The treatments were administered once a week as per the instructions, in a trial totalling 4 weeks. Evaluations were conducted on Day (D)0 and D28 to assess the outcomes of the trial. The severity of AD was measured using the CADESI-04 and the pruritus Visual Analog Scale (PVAS). The skin barrier function parameters, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and stratum corneum hydration were measured before and after the treatment., Results: Both treatment groups demonstrated a decreasing trend in CADESI-04 scores, yet the FB group exhibited significant improvement in comparison to the shampoo group after 1 month of trial. There were no significant changes in PVAS scores in either group. No significant difference was found in skin barrier function parameters between the two treatments, although TEWL slightly decreased in the FB group and slightly increased in the shampoo group after treatment., Conclusions and Clinical Relevance: These results suggested that FB treatment provides benefits for dogs with AD and offers an alternative topical treatment option with a lesser impact on skin barrier function compared to frequent shampooing., (© 2024 Vet Derm Tokyo Dermatological and Laboratory Service for Animals.

- Abstract
Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is refractory to various therapies for non-small cell cancer; therefore, new therapeutic approaches are required to improve the prognosis of LSCC. Although immunotherapies targeting B7 family molecules were explored as treatments for several cancer types, the expression and significance of B7-H3 in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and its relationship with other immune checkpoint molecules have not yet been investigated in detail. We used high-throughput quantitative multiplex immunohistochemistry to examine B7-H3 expression in the TME. We investigated the relationship between B7-H3 expression and prognosis as well as changes in the TME with B7-H3 expression using 110 surgically resected pathological specimens retrospectively. We examined the correlation between B7-H3 and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in single cells. High B7-H3 expression in tumor cells was associated with a better prognosis and a significant increase in the number of CD163
+ PD-L1+ macrophages. Quantitative analysis revealed that there is a positive correlation between B7-H3 and PD-L1 expression in tumor and stromal cells, as well as in intratumoral tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and tumor-associated macrophages in the same cells. CD68+ , CD163+ , and CK+ cells with PD-L1+ phenotypes had higher B7-H3 expression compared to PD-L1- cells. Our findings demonstrate a correlation between B7-H3 and PD-L1 expression in the same cells, indicating that therapies targeting B7-H3 could provide additional efficacy in patients refractory to PD-L1-targeting therapies.- Published

- Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma. New therapeutic strategies are needed for the treatment of refractory DLBCL. 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) is a cytotoxic lipid peroxidation marker, which alters intracellular signaling and induces genetic mutations. Lipid peroxidation is associated with nonapoptotic cell death, called ferroptosis. However, the relationship between 4-HNE accumulation and feroptotic regulators in DLBCL has not been fully evaluated. Here, we aimed to evaluate the accumulation of lipid peroxide and the expression of ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) in DLBCL using immunohistochemistry. We found a significant increase in the expression of FSP1 in cases with nuclear 4-HNE accumulation (P = .021). Both nuclear and cytoplasmic 4-HNE accumulation and FSP1 positivity were independent predictors of worse prognosis. In vitro exposure to 4-HNE resulted in its concentration- and time-dependent intracellular accumulation and increased expression of FSP1. Furthermore, short-term (0.25 and 1.0 μM) or long-term (0.25 μM) exposure to 4-HNE induced resistance to not only apoptosis but also ferroptosis. Taken together, regulation of FSP1 through 4-HNE accumulation may attenuate resistance to cell death in treatment-resistant DLBCL and might help develop novel therapeutic strategies for refractory DLBCL., (Copyright © 2024 United States & Canadian Academy of Pathology.

- Abstract
A woman in her 70s, initially suspected of having fibroadenoma due to a well-defined mass in her breast, underwent regular mammography and ultrasound screenings. Over several years, no appreciable alterations in the mass were observed, maintaining the fibroadenoma diagnosis. However, in the fourth year, an ultrasound indicated slight enlargement and peripheral irregularities in the mass, even though the mammography images at that time showed no alterations. Interestingly, mammography images over time showed the gradual disappearance of previously observed arterial calcification around the mass. Pathological examination eventually identified the mass as invasive ductal carcinoma. Although the patient had breast tissue arterial calcification typical of atherosclerosis, none was present around the tumor-associated arteries. This case highlights the importance of monitoring arterial calcification changes in mammography, suggesting that they are crucial indicators in breast cancer diagnosis, beyond observing size and shape alterations.

- Abstract
The prognosis of recurrent gastric cancer is generally poor, and aggressive surgical treatment is rarely performed. Herein, we present the case of a patient who underwent resection of cerebellar and adrenal gland metastases from gastric cancer. The patient was treated for gastric cancer with distal gastrectomy at 23 years and for remnant gastric cancer with completion gastrectomy at 48 years. At 59 years old, she experienced vertigo and nausea and was diagnosed with cerebellar and left adrenal gland tumours. First, the cerebellar tumours were resected and diagnosed as metastases of gastric cancer. After 1 month, the adrenal gland tumour was resected and diagnosed as metastatic. She underwent whole-brain radiotherapy and subsequent chemotherapy with S-1. One year after the surgery, the patient died of meningitis carcinomatosa. There are few reports on long-term survival after the resection of brain metastases. Herein, we report our experience along with a review of the literature., Competing Interests: None declared., (Published by Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd. © The Author(s) 2024.)

- Abstract
Objectives: The aim is to evaluate the prevention and development of cervical cancer in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients in Japan and its background based on a questionnaire survey., Methods: The questionnaire was handed to 460 adult female SLE patients at 12 medical institutions. The participants were grouped by age, and data related to their human papillomavirus vaccination status, age at first coitus, cervical cancer screening, and diagnosis of cervical cancer were analysed., Results: A total of 320 responses were received. Patients aged 35-54 years included a higher proportion of patients whose age at first coitus was <20 years. This group also showed a higher rate of cervical cancer/dysplasia. Only nine patients had a human papillomavirus vaccination history. Adequate frequency of cervical cancer screening was slightly higher (52.1%) among SLE patients than in the Japanese general population. However, 23% of the patients had never undergone examination, primarily because of a feeling of troublesome. The incidence of cervical cancer was significantly higher among SLE patients. One reason for this may be associated with the use of immunosuppressants, although the difference was not significant., Conclusions: SLE patients are at a higher risk of cervical cancer and dysplasia. Rheumatologists should proactively recommend vaccination and screening examinations for SLE female patients., (© Japan College of Rheumatology 2023. Published by Oxford University Press.

- Abstract
The serine-threonine protein kinase B-RAF (BRAF) fusions are rarely observed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for less than 1%, and therapeutic evidence for molecular-targeted drugs is lacking, unlike for BRAF V600E mutation by RAF and MEK inhibitors. A 75-year-old female patient with no smoking history and mild renal dysfunction developed recurrent lung adenocarcinoma and was initially treated with pembrolizumab immunotherapy followed by chemotherapy using docetaxel showing a certain efficacy but the disease finally progressed. Comprehensive genome profiling showed a novel SLC44A1-BRAF fusion and the tumor progression was controlled with the MEK inhibitor trametinib. Because of the rarity of NSCLC with BRAF fusion, the description of this case would be helpful for the treatment strategy for such tumors., Competing Interests: The authors have declared financial relationships, which are detailed in the next section., (Copyright © 2024, Yasui et al.)

- Abstract
In normal intestines, a fetal/regenerative/revival cell state can be induced upon inflammation. This plasticity in cell fate is also one of the current topics in human colorectal cancer (CRC). To dissect the underlying mechanisms, we generated human CRC organoids with naturally selected genetic mutation profiles and exposed them to two different conditions by modulating the extracellular matrix (ECM). Among tested mutation profiles, a fetal/regenerative/revival state was induced following YAP activation via a collagen type I-enriched microenvironment. Mechanistically, YAP transcription was promoted by activating AP-1 and TEAD-dependent transcription and suppressing intestinal lineage-determining transcription via mechanotransduction. The phenotypic conversion was also involved in chemoresistance, which could be potentially resolved by targeting the underlying YAP regulatory elements, a potential target of CRC treatment., Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing interests., (© 2024 The Author(s).)
