Article Abstract
Chemokine receptors, a diverse group within the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, are frequently overexpressed in malignant tumors. Ligand binding activates multiple downstream signal transduction cascades that drive tumor growth and metastasis, resulting in poor clinical outcome. These receptors are thus considered promising targets for anti-tumor therapy. This article reviews recent studies on the expression and function of CXC chemokine receptors in various tumor microenvironments and recent developments in cancer therapy using CXC chemokine receptor antagonists.

Gallium-68-Pentixafor PET/CT for Subtyping Diagnosis of Primary Aldosteronism: A Pictorial Essay.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is one of the prevalent causes of secondary hypertension, characterized by the autonomous hypersecretion of aldosterone and concurrent renin inhibition. Clinical and biochemical remission rates for patients with PA achieved through surgery are far higher compared to those achieved through drug treatment; hence, subtyping PA is crucial for identifying patients who will benefit most from surgery. Computed tomography (CT) scan with adrenal protocol and adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is used conventionally for PA subtype classification.

The diagnosis of adrenocortical tumors remains clinically challenging due to overlapping morphological and functional features between benign, malignant, and hormonally active lesions. Malignant and functional tumors are frequently associated with poor prognosis. Traditional morphological imaging methods, such as CT and MRI, cannot reliably distinguish lesion types.

Background: Volatile anesthetics are gaining recognition for their benefits in long-term sedation of mechanically ventilated patients with bacterial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition to their sedative role, they also exhibit anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, though the mechanisms behind these effects remain only partially understood. In vitro studies examining the prolonged impact of volatile anesthetics on bacterial growth, inflammatory cytokine response, and surfactant proteins - key to maintaining lung homeostasis - are still lacking.

Tuberculosis (TB) outcomes vary widely, from asymptomatic infection to mortality, yet most animal models do not recapitulate human phenotypic and genotypic variation. The genetically diverse Collaborative Cross mouse panel models distinct facets of TB disease that occur in humans and allows identification of genomic loci underlying clinical outcomes. We previously mapped a TB susceptibility locus on mouse chromosome 2.

Background And Aims: Inflammatory cell infiltration in the liver is a hallmark of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). However, the pathological events that trigger the infiltration of inflammatory cells to mediate MAFLD pathogenesis remains poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the function and mechanism of Hic-5 on hepatic inflammation of MAFLD.
