Article Abstract

Primary histiocytic sarcoma of the central nervous system is a rare lymphohematopoietic tumor originating from histiocytes. Here we report such a case with somatic mutation. Based on imaging studies, a 24-year-old woman presented with a homogeneously enhancing lesion in the right parietal lobe region and without other organ involvement. Histological analysis showed that the pleomorphic tumor cells were loosely arranged, and the neoplastic cells are characterized by abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, highly atypical nuclei, and prominent nucleoli. The lesional cells were immunoreactive with antibodies against -CD68KP1, CD163 focally, lysozyme, and BRAF V600E. NGS-based genetic profiling revealed a pathogenic somatic (p.R196*) mutation. Additionally, (p.V600E), (p.V561D), (p.H437Q, VUS), and (p.E2343A, VUS) mutations were detected. However, the tumor did not respond to apatinib and anlotinib treatment, and the patient died 10 months after the initial diagnosis.

Background: The expression and clinical correlation of BRAFV600E mutation and programmed cell death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) in children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) have been reported, but the conclusions of previous studies are inconsistent. In addition, it has been reported that elevated cathepsin S (CTSS) expression is associated with various cancers. However, there is currently no research on the correlation between CTSS and LCH.

Sleep deprivation (SD) is a major contributor to cognitive impairment, often accompanied by central neuroinflammation and gut microbiota dysbiosis. The tryptophan (TRP) pathway, activated via indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), serves as a critical link between immune activation and neuronal damage. Umbelliferone (UMB), a naturally occurring coumarin compound, possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbiota-modulating properties.

Ocular relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is rare and typically associated with central nervous system or bone marrow involvement. Anterior segment infiltration as the sole manifestation of relapse is exceptionally uncommon and may mimic noninfectious uveitis, leading to diagnostic delay. We report the case of a 4-year-old boy with a history of B-cell precursor ALL, diagnosed at age 2 and treated according to the ALL IC BFM 2009 protocol.

The flavonoid rutin protects against imidacloprid-induced osmotic and electric disruptions in Africanized honey bees.

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are essential pollinators threatened by sublethal effects of pesticides such as imidacloprid, a widely used neonicotinoid that disrupts the central nervous system. However, many of the systemic effects are poorly understood, especially on the physiological homeostasis of the honey bee. We evaluated the effects of oral administration of imidacloprid and the flavonol rutin on the properties of extracellular fluid (ECF) in Apis mellifera.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by low levels of SMN protein. Several therapeutic approaches boosting SMN are approved for human patients, delivering remarkable improvements in lifespan and symptoms. However, emerging phenotypes, including neurodevelopmental comorbidities, are being reported in some treated SMA patients, indicative of alterations in brain development.
