    Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common pancreatic malignancy and is associated with aggressive tumor behavior and poor prognosis. Most patients with PDAC present with an advanced disease stage and treatment-resistant tumors. The lack of noninvasive tests for PDAC diagnosis and survival prediction mandates the identification of novel biomarkers. The early identification of high-risk patients and patients with PDAC is of utmost importance. In addition, the identification of molecules that are associated with tumor biology, aggressiveness, and metastatic potential is crucial to predict survival and to provide patients with personalized treatment regimens. In this review, we summarize the current literature and focus on newer biomarkers, which are continuously added to the armamentarium of PDAC screening, predictive tools, and prognostic tools.

    Abstract Background: Aerobic organisms continuously generate small amounts of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which are involved in the oxidation of sensitive cysteine residues in proteins, leading to the formation of disulfide bonds. Thioredoxin (Trx1) and Glutaredoxin (Grx1) represent key antioxidant enzymes reducing disulfide bonds.
    Objective: In this work, we have focused on the possible protective effect of Trx1 and Grx1 against oxidative stress-induced DNA damage and apoptosis-signaling, by studying the phosphorylation of MAP kinases.
    Methods: Trx1 and Grx1 were overexpressed or silenced in cultured H1299 non-small cell lung cancer epithelial cells. We examined cell growth, DNA damage, and the phosphorylation status of MAP kinases following treatment with H2O2.
    Results: Overexpression of both Trx1 and Grx1 had a significant impact on the growth of H1299 cells and provided protection against H2O2-induced toxicity, as well as acute DNA single-strand breaks. Conversely, silencing of these proteins exacerbated DNA damage. Furthermore, overexpression of Trx1 and Grx1 inhibited the rapid phosphorylation of JNK (especially at 360 min of treatment, ****p=0.004 and **p=0.0033 respectively) and p38 MAP kinases (especially at 360 min of treatment, ****p<0.0001 and ***p=0.0008 respectively) during H2O2 exposure, while their silencing had the opposite effect (especially at 360 min of treatment, ****p<0.0001).
    Conclusion: These results suggest that both Trx1 and Grx1 have protective roles against H2O2 induced toxicity, emphasizing their significance in mitigating oxidative stress-related cellular damage.

    Abstract Vascular composite allotransplantation (VCA) is a field under research and has emerged as an alternative option for the repair of severe disfiguring defects that result from infections or traumatic amputation in a selected group of patients. VCA is performed in centers with appropriate expertise, experience and adequate resources to effectively manage the complexity and complications of this treatment. Lifelong immunosuppressive therapy, immunosuppression associated complications, and the effects of the host immune response in the graft are major concerns in VCA. VCA is considered a quality of life transplant and the risk-benefit ratio is dissimilar to life saving transplants. Belatacept seems a promising drug that prolongs patient and graft survival in kidney transplantation and it could also be an alternative approach to VCA immunosuppression. In this review, we are summarizing current literature about the role of costimulation blockade, with a focus on belatacept in VCA.

    Abstract Background: Acute appendicitis, the most common cause of acute surgical abdomen, is associated with intra-abdominal complications, such as perforation, that increase morbidity and mortality. Early and accurate preoperative diagnosis of complicated appendicitis mandates the identification of new diagnostic markers. This systematic review summarizes current literature on the adoption of hyponatremia as an early diagnostic and predictive marker of complicated appendicitis.
    Methods: Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Google Scholar, WHO Global Health Library, System for Information on Grey Literature, ISI Web of Science, EBSCOHost and Virtual Health Library were searched in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines in order to identify original human studies investigating the association between hyponatremia and the presence or development of complicated appendicitis.
    Results: A total of 7 studies conducted in 6 different countries were identified. A prospective diagnostic accuracy study reported a strong association between hyponatremia and complicated appendicitis in children. The largest sample size study performed in adults reported a significant association between hyponatremia and perforated or gangrenous appendicitis.
    Conclusions: The admission serum sodium level measurement, a routinely performed, low-cost test, should be taken into account in patients with clinical presentation compatible with acute appendicitis and suspicion of underlying complications. Future well-designed prospective diagnostic accuracy studies are required to further establish the association between hyponatremia and perforated appendicitis.

    Abstract Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) protocols have been used to reveal protein-DNA interactions of various cell types and tissues; however, optimization is required for each specific type of sample. Here, we present a ChIP protocol from murine inguinal white adipose tissue. We describe steps for tissue harvesting, crosslinking, chromatin extraction, shearing, immunoprecipitation, and purification. We then detail procedures for analysis including library preparation, sequencing, and qRT-PCR validation. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Antonia Katsouda et al. (2022).
