Abstract The objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview the imaging characteristics various renal cell tumors using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET), based on latest WHO-2022 classification. Due physiological accumulation FDG in kidneys, clinical utility FDG-PET evaluation has traditionally been considered limited. However, recent studies have re-evaluated its potential value. demonstrated particular detecting metastases and postoperative...
Thrombospondin type 1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A) is a recently identified target antigen of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN). The clinicopathological characteristics THSD7A-associated MN are poorly characterised due to low prevalence among patients. Among 469 consecutive cases pathologically confirmed diagnosed at four centres in Japan, 14 were positive for THSD7A by immunohistochemistry (3.0%). tended be higher northern Japan. Most demonstrated nephrotic-range proteinuria (12/14...
Abstract Mutations in p53 are common human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, previous analyses, only detection of mutant protein using immunohistochemistry or mutations some exons have been examined. Full length many cases shows a loss tumor suppressor function, but possibly gain oncogenic function. In this study, we investigate relationships outcomes with the mutational spectrum (missense and truncation mutations) whole exon OSCC. Specimens from biopsy surgery (67 cases) were...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), including anti-programmed cell death 1 ligand (PD-L1) antibodies, are significantly changing treatment strategies for human malignant diseases, oral cancer. Cancer cells usually escape from the immune system and acquire proliferative capacity invasive/metastatic potential. We have focused on two checkpoints, PD-1/PD-L1 CD47/SIRPα, in tumor microenvironment of squamous carcinoma (OSCC), performed a retrospective analysis expression seven immune-related...

Then, she underwent nephrectomy thrombectomy. Histologically, primary had no viable cells, indicating that pathological complete response achieved tyrosine kinase inhibitor/Immuno-oncology therapy. An immunohistological xamination showed very strong staining tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in embolized area tumor, CD8...
The surveillance methods oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients may be chosen by considering the risk for recurrence, and it is important to establish appropriate during period in which latent/dormant cancer cells become more apparent. To investigate of with OSCC based on individual recurrence and/or metastasis, we performed a retrospective cohort study after complete surgical resection as primary treatment.The was 324 who had been primarily treated surgery from 2007 2020 at our...
Standard therapy for radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is multi-targeted kinase inhibitors (m-TKIs), represented by sorafenib and lenvatinib. One of the main target molecules m-TKIs vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF-R). are known to cause adverse reactions such as hypertension proteinuria a class effect. In particular, thought result from damage podocytopathy in glomeruli, development thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) has been reported...
Administration of cetuximab (C-mab) in combination with paclitaxel (PTX) has been used for patients head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) clinically. In this study, we attempted to clarify the molecular mechanisms enhancing anticancer effect C-mab combined PTX on oral SCC cells vitro. We two (HSC4, OSC19) A431 cells. alone inhibited growth all a concentration-dependent manner. OSC19 at low concentrations, but HSC4 very weakly, even high concentrations. A drugs was moderate cells,...

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory mucosal disease, and an apparent cause has not been identified. OLP refractory to treatment, malignant transformation reported. Therefore, discovering effective drugs with few adverse effects over long-term administration crucial. In this study, we established in vitro model investigate the of Cepharanthin®, alkaloid mixture derived from Stephania cephalantha Hayata. Four alkaloids Cepharanthin® suppressed expression cytokine genes at...
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a complication caused by antithyroid drugs, particularly propylthiouracil (PTU). Most patients experience organ failure due to the affects of treatment regimen. We herein report case an 89-year-old woman whose severe AAV induced PTU resulted in various instances that eventually led death after 9 years therapy. During autopsy, we identified five types failure. As potentially fatal disease, development symptoms during...
Abstract Background The status of oral cancer therapy in elderly patients Japan, where ageing is rapidly progressing, may serve as a model for other countries with similar demographics. There controversy over what kind treatment should be applied and how aggressively it to very who have exceeded the average life expectancy. Given that 85 years approximately overall Japanese expectancy at birth, we considered threshold hypothesized prognosis squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) aged ≥85 was not...
Background/Aim: Odontogenic diseases are diagnosed based on clinical course, imaging, and histopathology. However, a definitive diagnosis is not always possible. Patients Methods: We analyzed whole exons of SMO, BRAF, PTCH1 GNAS using next-generation sequencing (NGS) in 18 patients. Results: Of the 6 patients with ameloblastoma, 2 had same missense mutation 1 patient peripheral ameloblastoma PTCH1. 7 odontogenic keratocyst, 4 PTCH1, mutations SMO.
