Article Abstract
Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon salivary gland neoplasm that generally displays an indolent growth pattern. Most cases arise in the major glands, particularly the parotid. However, it can arise from minor salivary glands in the oral cavity and aero-digestive tract. Although ACC is generally a low-grade malignant tumor, poorly differentiated and high-grade transformed variants exhibit a propensity for late recurrence and metastasis. There are no adequate clinical trials that define the optimal approach to patients with metastatic salivary gland tumors due to its rarity. Systemic therapy is reserved for cases where local therapy, such as radiation or metastasectomy, is not appropriate. Nevertheless, there is insufficient data in the literature regarding the chemotherapy of choice for metastatic ACC. In this article, we report a case of metastatic ACC of the right parotid gland that progressed on carboplatin and paclitaxel after partial response followed by doxorubicin and is currently on checkpoint inhibitor treatment.

This is the first report on the functional potential of Akhuni, an ethnic food of Northeast India, against diabetes. Akhuni is a traditional fermented soybean product known for its umami taste and delicacy, commonly used in the cuisine of Northeast India. Treatment with ethanolic extract of Akhuni (AKET) for 8 weeks decreased glucose levels in the blood, increased body mass and enhanced the ability to tolerate glucose dose-dependently in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice in comparison with the group of diabetic control mice (DBC).

The characteristic pathological change in chronic pancreatitis (CP) is pancreatic fibrosis. In the early stages of CP development, injured acinar cells induce the infiltration of inflammatory cells, followed by pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) activation. Activated PSC induce the deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) and promote the development of pancreatic fibrosis.

Background & Aims: Oxidative stress and antioxidant defense mechanisms have long been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP). However, there is a notable lack of in vivo experimental evidence clarifying their precise role.
Methods: We generated and analyzed mice with a pancreas-specific deletion of Txnrd1 (Txnrd1).

Background & Aims: Suppressing toxic Ca accumulation in pancreatic acinar cells (PACs) is the central therapeutic strategy of acute pancreatitis (AP). Store-operated Ca entry (SOCE) represents an important mechanism promoting Ca overload, which remains incompletely understood in AP. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 (TRPV6) is an ion channel highly selective to Ca, and its role in PACs or AP onset remains largely unknown.

Background & Aims: Acute pancreatitis (AP) results in localized pancreatic injury or systemic inflammatory responses, contributing to high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Acinar cell death and inflammation are critical key drivers of AP progression. Some deubiquitinases (DUBs), which regulate the stability and/or activity of substrate proteins, may play a role in the development of AP.
