Article Abstract

Introduction: Minimal change disease (MCD) is most often primary but may occur secondary to other systemic diseases such as malignancy. In secondary MCD, spontaneous remission of nephrotic syndrome after the treatment of related diseases without steroid therapy is rare.

Case Presentation: A 78-year-old man visited the outpatient clinic with foamy urine and generalized edema that had persisted for 2 months. The patient had nephrotic syndrome. Before a kidney biopsy, he underwent several tests to determine the secondary cause of the nephrotic syndrome. The serum CEA was slightly elevated, and colon cancer was detected in the sigmoid colon. MCD was diagnosed from a kidney biopsy. He immediately underwent surgery for colon cancer. Complete remission of the MCD was achieved within 2 weeks after surgery.

Conclusion: Here, we report a rare case of a patient with secondary MCD who successfully achieved spontaneous remission after colon cancer surgery.

Background: To evaluate predictors of outcomes in colorectal liver metastases (CLM) patients undergoing 90Y radioembolization (TARE), focusing on the impact of tumor absorbed dose.

Materials And Methods: Patients' characteristics and dosimetry assessments were analyzed in 231 patients undergoing 329 TARE sessions from 09/2009 to 07/2023. Response was assessed using RECIST1.

The colon exhibits higher propensity for tumour development than ileum. However, the role of immune microenvironment differences in driving this disparity remains unclear. Here, by comparing paired ileum and colon samples from patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and healthy donors, we identified ileum-enriched CD160CD8 T cells with previously unrecognized characteristics, including resistance to terminal exhaustion and strong clonal expansion.

Discovery of 2-tetrahydroisoquinoline substituted quinazoline derivatives as lysine methyltransferase G9a inhibitors with in vivo antitumor efficacy.

Overexpression of protein lysine methyltransferase G9a, which catalyzes mono- and di-methylation of histone H3K9 and non-histone proteins, is closely associated with poor prognosis and metastasis of various cancers. Here, we designed and synthesized a series of novel G9a inhibitors bearing 2-tetrahydroisoquinoline substituted quinazoline scaffold. Among them, compound 31 with 2-dioxole fused tetrahydroisoquinoline exhibited the most potent inhibitory effects against G9a with an IC value of 0.

IRF7 drives resistance to oncolytic virotherapy by restricting viral replication and suppressing antitumor immunity.

State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemical Biology and College of Life Science, Nankai University, Tianjin, China. Electronic address:

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) represent a promising approach for cancer immunotherapy by inducing direct tumor lysis and stimulating antitumor immunity. However, tumor-intrinsic resistance remains a major barrier to their efficacy. In this study, we established an OV-resistant MC38 colon cancer model (MC38) and identified interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7), a key regulator of type I interferon signaling, as significantly upregulated in resistant cells.
