Article Abstract
We present a case of an asymptomatic 70-year-old man with intussusception of the descending colon due to inflammatory myofibroblastic proliferation. Abdominal ultrasound examination showed a hypoechoic mass, 32 × 19 mm in size, accompanied by intussusception in the descending colon, and power Doppler sonography detected blood flow signals in the mass. Computed tomography revealed a hypervascular lesion, which was confirmed by barium enema and colonoscopy. The surgically excised mass was histologically diagnosed as inflammatory myofibroblastic proliferation. Although intussusception due to inflammatory myofibroblastic proliferation is rare, it should be considered in cases of adult colonic intussusception.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of (HP) on bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice and on TGF-β1-induced human fetal lung fibroblasts (HFL1).
Methods: Thirty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group, BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis model group, low- and high-dose HP treatment groups (3 and 21 mg/kg, respectively), and 300 mg/kg pirfenidone (positive control) group. The effects of drug treatment for 21 days were assessed by examining respiratory function, lung histopathology, and expression of fibrosis markers in the lung tissues of the mouse models.

Background: Intestinal fibrosis is a severe and progressive complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly Crohn's disease (CD), for which no effective anti-fibrotic therapies currently exist.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the anti-fibrotic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Prim-O-glucosylcimifugin (POG), a natural chromone derivative, in TGF-β1-stimulated human intestinal fibroblasts.
Methods: Fibrosis was modeled in human intestinal fibroblast cell lines (CCD-18Co) and human primary intestinal myofibroblasts (HIMF) using TGF-β1.
Superficial Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase ()-Rearranged Myxoid Spindle Cell Neoplasms: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase ()-rearranged myxoid spindle cell tumors represent a recently recognized subgroup of kinase fusion-positive mesenchymal neoplasms. These tumors often arise in the superficial soft tissues but may occasionally be found in deeper tissues, or, rarely, within visceral organs. The term (SAMS) comprises a distinct subset of cutaneous soft tissue tumors with superficial location and spindle cell morphology, exhibiting bland cytomorphology and favorable clinical outcomes.

Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is characterized by orbital inflammatory infiltration, expansion of orbital tissues due to de novo adipogenesis and over-production of hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans, as well as myofibroblastic differentiation resulting in tissue fibrosis. Thyrotropin receptor antibody (TSH-R-Ab) is the major stimulus, which activates Thyrotropin receptor (TSH-R) / insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) and its downstream signalling in orbital fibroblasts (OF). Clinical evaluation of TSH-R-Ab, the specific biomarker of Graves' disease (GD) and the associated orbitopathy, provides important clinical information concerning diagnosis, disease monitoring and prognosis of GO.

This study tested the hypothesis that diabetic wound treatment with biomimetic pro-angiogenic, proteolytically and mechanically stable RADA16-II peptide nanofibers promotes regenerative wound healing via attenuation of inflammation and stimulation of neovascularization. Two full-thickness excisional dorsal skin wounds were created on 8-10 week old female db/db mice and treated with nanofiber hydrogel or saline (control). Animals were euthanized on days 7, 14, 28, and 56 and their wounds were analysed for morphology, vascularization, strength, and inflammation.
