Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) provides high spatial resolution and more detailed images than other diagnostic modalities. Furthermore, EUS-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA), such as EUS-guided fine needle aspiration or biopsy (EUS-FNA/FNB), is an indispensable tool in pancreaticobiliary disease diagnostics, supporting a conclusive pathological diagnosis. In this review, we evaluate the current status and the usefulness of EUS-TA for the diagnostics of the following biliary tract diseases: (A) biliary stricture diagnostics, (B) biliary tract cancer (BTC) itself, and (C) staging of advanced BTC...

Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare type of thyroid cancer, comprising less than 5% of all thyroid cancer cases. PTL includes subtypes like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT). The connection between PTL and autoimmune diseases of the thyroid, particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis, has gained recognition in recent years. Studies have indicated an increased incidence of PTL among individuals with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. However, effectively recognizing and managing PTL in the context of autoimmune thyroid diseases remains challenging...

The Adriamycin (ADR) nephropathy model, which induces podocyte injury, is limited to certain mouse strains due to genetic susceptibilities, such as the PrkdcR2140C polymorphism. The FVB/N strain without the R2140C mutation resists ADR nephropathy. Meanwhile, a detailed analysis of the progression of ADR nephropathy in the FVB/N strain has yet to be conducted. Our research aimed to create a novel mouse model, the FVB- PrkdcR2140C , by introducing PrkdcR2140C into the FVB/NJcl (FVB) strain. Our study showed that FVB- PrkdcR2140C mice developed severe renal damage when exposed to ADR, as evidenced by significant albuminuria and tubular injury, exceeding the levels observed in C57BL/6J (B6)- PrkdcR2140C ...

Autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD), particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Basedow-Graves disease (BGD) are diseases of global public health concern, characterized by autoimmune attacks on the thyroid gland, leading to hypothyroidism in HT and hyperthyroidism in BGD. We conducted a study between 2019 and 2021 in northwestern Transylvania (Romania) on patients with HT and with BGD compared to the control group. The aim of the study was to investigate the correlations of HLA class II alleles with AITD by identifying potential genetic susceptibility factors such as HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1 genes in patients diagnosed with HT and BGD...

BACKGROUND: Many epigenetic factors, including microRNAs, are involved in the process of changing gene expressions. Small non-coding RNA molecules, called miRNAs, are responsible for regulating gene translation by silencing or degrading target mRNAs. It is acknowledged that for many diseases, they may be novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases are more likely to develop nodules in the thyroid tissue, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease predispose patients to thyroid cancer...

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most common organ-specific autoimmune disease, predominantly affecting women. Although the pathogenesis of HT is incompletely understood, some studies have found that macrophage polarization plays a role. Puerarin is a soy isoflavone compound that has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects and regulates macrophage immune activity. This study aimed to verify the therapeutic effect of puerarin on HT and explored its regulatory effect on macrophage polarization imbalance in HT...

Autoimmune encephalitis encompasses a spectrum of neurological disorders characterized by an autoimmune response directed against neurons and glia. Around two-thirds of cases exhibit autoantibodies targeting neuronal or glial antigens in the cerebrospinal fluid and/or serum. The diagnosis is based on specific criteria combining a subacute clinical presentation and complementary test results. However, approximately one-quarter of patients do not present any paraclinical abnormalities, making the diagnosis complex...
