Ferroptosis is a type of regulated cell death caused by iron overload and lipid peroxidation, and its core is an imbalance of redox reactions. Recent studies showed that ferroptosis played a dual role in liver diseases, that was, as a therapeutic target and a pathogenic factor. Therefore, herein, we summarized the role of ferroptosis in liver diseases, reviewed the part of available targets, such as drugs, small molecules, and nanomaterials, that acted on ferroptosis in liver diseases, and discussed the current challenges and prospects...

The lymphatic vasculature maintains tissue homeostasis via fluid drainage in the form of lymph and immune surveillance due to migration of leukocytes through the lymphatics to the draining lymph nodes. Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) form the lymphatic vessels and lymph node sinuses and are key players in shaping immune responses and tolerance. In the healthy lung, the vast majority of lymphatic vessels are found along the bronchovascular structures, in the interlobular septa, and in the subpleural space...

Hypothyroidism is a prevalent endocrine illness with a variety of clinical symptoms, but among which elevated serum creatinine is uncommon. Hypothyroidism is also common in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, especially those receiving highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART). Here we present a case of a young AIDS patient with hypothyroidism, increased serum creatinine, and obesity. Despite the lack of a kidney biopsy, following levothyroxine (LT4) therapy, his serum creatinine recovered to normal levels, and weight loss, edema, weakness, rough skin and other clinical symptoms obtained notable improvement...

BACKGROUND: Prostaglandin analogs have been found to have more versatile uses: treatment of open-angle glaucoma, high intraocular pressure, vitiligo, and other treatments. And prostaglandin analogs have been found to have an important role in the hair growth cycle. However, prostaglandin analogs have not been sufficiently studied for hair (including hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows) regeneration. In this study, a systematic review and meta-analysis of topical prostaglandin analogs on hair loss was performed...

INTRODUCTION: According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), 9-12 million patients suffer from chronic ulceration each year, costing the healthcare system over USD $25 billion annually. There is a significant unmet need for new and efficacious therapies to accelerate closure of non-healing wounds. Nitric Oxide (NO) levels typically increase rapidly after skin injury in the inflammatory phase and gradually diminish as wound healing progresses. The effect of increased NO concentration on promoting re-epithelization and wound closure has yet to be described in the context of diabetic wound healing...

BACKGROUND: Elderly people are known to be vulnerable to virus infection. However, this has not been appropriately tested in in vitro studies due to a lack of appropriate virus infection models. In this report, we investigated the impact of age on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in pseudostratified air-liquid-interface (ALI) culture bronchial epithelium, which more closely mimic human airway epithelium morphologically and physiologically, than submerged cancer cell line cultures. METHODS: RSV A2 was inoculated apically to the bronchial epithelium obtained from 8 donors with different ages (28-72 years old), and time-profiles of viral load and inflammatory cytokines were analyzed...

BACKGROUND: Patients admitted to hospital with sepsis are at persistent risk of poor outcome after discharge. Many tools are available to risk-stratify sepsis patients for in-hospital mortality. This study aimed to identify the best risk-stratification tool to prognosticate outcome 180 days after admission via the emergency department (ED) with suspected sepsis. METHODS: A retrospective observational cohort study was performed of adult ED patients who were admitted after receiving intravenous antibiotics for the treatment of a suspected sepsis, between 1st March and 31st August 2019...

Pemphigus is a rare group of autoimmune mucocutaneous blistering conditions for which the mainstay of treatment is immunosuppression. This is usually achieved with high dose corticosteroids as well as steroid sparing agents. Rituximab is now recommended as a first line treatment for moderate to severe pemphigus vulgaris, the commonest form of pemphigus, alongside corticosteroids. During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic the use of rituximab was reduced in our department due to its long term irreversible B-cell suppression...

We present two cases of transmission of a pancreatic adenocarcinoma from a single donor to two kidney transplant recipients. Autopsy of the donor revealed a pancreatic adenocarcinoma that had already spread locally to the regional lymph nodes and had not been detected at the time of organ procurement. Both recipients were carefully monitored, as neither consented to graft nephrectomy. In one patient, the tumor was discovered on surveillance biopsy of the graft approximately 14 months after transplantation, and in the second patient, ultrasound-guided aspiration needle biopsy of a growing formation in the lower pole of the graft revealed poorly differentiated metastatic adenocarcinoma...

INTRODUCTION: Optimal anticoagulation therapy is essential for the prevention of thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications in pediatric patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Recent data have demonstrated bivalirudin has the potential to surpass and replace heparin as the anticoagulant of choice. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review comparing the outcomes of heparin-based versus bivalirudin-based anticoagulation in pediatric patients supported on ECMO to identify the preferred anticoagulant to minimize bleeding events, thrombotic complications, and associated mortality...

The sirtuins are a family of seven proteins that perform a variety of dermatological functions and help maintain both the structure and function of the skin. More specifically, the sirtuins have been shown to be altered in multiple dermal cell types including dermal fibroblasts. The functions of dermal fibroblasts are extensive, and include playing a significant role in wound healing as well as helping to maintain the integrity of the skin. As dermal fibroblasts age, they can undergo a state of permanent cell cycle arrest, known as cellular senescence...

REVIEW
Lucy Guan, Marisa Palmeri, Roman Groisberg
Cutaneous angiosarcoma (cAS) is a rare and aggressive subtype of soft tissue sarcoma with poor prognosis and suboptimal treatment options. Clinical presentation is variable, but cAS often arises from the head and neck. The most widely accepted current approach, surgical excision with adjuvant radiotherapy, is associated with high recurrence rates and can leave patients with profound disfigurement. Chemotherapy and targeted therapy alternatives have had limited success. Thus, there is a significant unmet need to address the absence of durable treatments for advanced and metastatic cAS...
