OBJECTIVE: Hyperdense artery sign (HAS) on noncontrast brain computed tomography (CT) indicates an acute thrombus within the cerebral artery. It is a valuable imaging biomarker for diagnosing large-vessel occlusion; however, its identification may be challenging with the presence of vascular calcification. Dual-energy CT virtual noncalcium (VNCa) imaging using a 3-material decomposition algorithm is helpful for differentiating between calcification and hemorrhage. This study aimed to clarify the potential of VNCa imaging for differentiating HAS from vascular calcification...

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related neoplasm with male dominance and a poor prognosis. A better understanding of the genetic alterations and their functional roles in ENKTCL could help improve patient stratification and treatments. Here, we performed comprehensive genetic analysis of 177 ENKTCL cases to delineate the landscape of mutations, copy number alterations (CNAs), and structural variations, identifying 34 driver genes including six previously unappreciated ones, namely HLA-B, HLA-C, ROBO1, CD58, POT1, and MAP2K1...

In myeloid neoplasms, both fusion genes and gene mutations are well-established events identifying clinicopathological entities. In this study, we present a thus far undescribed t(X;21)(p11.4;q22.12) in five cases with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The translocation was isolated or accompanied by additional changes. It did not generate any fusion gene or gene deregulation by aberrant juxtaposition with regulatory sequences. Molecular analysis by targeted next-generation sequencing showed that the translocation was accompanied by at least one somatic mutation in TET2, EZH2, RUNX1, ASXL1, SRSF2, ZRSR2, DNMT3A, and NRAS genes...

The decision to establish a network of researchers centers on identifying shared research goals. Ecologically specific regions, such as the USA's National Ecological Observatory Network's (NEON's) eco-climatic domains, are ideal locations by which to assemble researchers with a diverse range of expertise but focused on the same set of ecological challenges. The recently established Great Lakes User Group (GLUG) is NEON's first domain specific ensemble of researchers, whose goal is to address scientific and technical issues specific to the Great Lakes Domain 5 (D05) by using NEON data to enable advancement of ecosystem science...

Pituitary tumors present heterogeneous biochemical, clinico-radiological, and histological features. Although histologically benign, a non-negligible number of cases present an unpredictable aggressive behavior with local invasiveness, partial/complete resistance to treatment and/or recurrence after surgery, and, rarely, metastasize, overall leading to a significant increase of morbidity, and, thus, requiring skilled multidisciplinary management in referral Centers. Histopathological diagnosis is essential to stratify cancer patient risk and uniform follow-up among Centers...

Diffuse cystic lung disease (DCLD) represents a heterogeneous group of conditions, typically characterized by the presence of multiple thin-walled, predominantly round parenchymal lucencies. The increased accessibility of computed tomography (CT) underscores the growing relevance of a relatively rare group of diseases as more clinicians are confronted with the presence of multiple lung cysts on the chest CT scan. Although the etiology of these conditions is very diverse, the focus of the differential diagnosis revolves around four primary causative factors - Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), Pulmonary Langerhanscell histiocytosis (PLCH), Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) and lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP)...

In heterogeneous catalysis, surface defects are widely regarded as an effective means to enhance the catalytic performance of catalysts. In this study, the oxygen vacancy-rich Mg(1- X ) Zn X O solid solution support was successfully prepared by doping a small amount of Zn into MgO nanocrystals. Based on this support, Ru/Ba-Mg(1- X ) Zn X O catalyst for ammonia synthesis was prepared. Characterization using TEM, EPR, XPS, and DFT calculations confirmed the successful substitution of Zn atoms for Mg atoms leading to the formation of more oxygen vacancies (OVs)...

Despite having the same underlying genetic etiology, individuals with the same syndromic form of intellectual developmental disability (IDD) show a large degree of interindividual differences in cognition and IQ. Research indicates that up to 80% of the variation in IQ scores among individuals with syndromic IDDs is attributable to nongenetic effects, including social-environmental factors. In this narrative review, we summarize evidence of the influence that factors related to economic stability (focused on due to its prevalence in existing literature) have on IQ in individuals with syndromic IDDs...

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a prevalent toxin causing severe liver damage through hepatocellular oxidative stress. However, the underlying mechanisms and effective therapeutic approaches remain unknown. Here, the unique role of the xenobiotic metabolism factor pregnane X receptor (PXR) in mediating DON-induced hepatocellular oxidative stress is investigated. Treatment with the PXR agonist 3-indole-propionic acid (IPA) alleviates DON-induced oxidative stress and liver injury both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, it is discovered for the first time that PXR agonist IPA directly transactivates the m6 A demethylase FTO expression, leading to site-specific demethylation and decreased abundance of YTHDC1-bound Malat1 lncRNA at single-nucleotide resolution...
