    Abstract Abstract: Pulmonary diffuse lymphoid hyperplasia (DLH), a nonneoplastic lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD), is extremely rare, and no PET/CT findings have been reported for pulmonary DLH. We observed slowly expanding irregular opacities with 18 F-FDG accumulation (SUV max , 3.64) in the right lower lobe of a 51-year-old asymptomatic man. The patient underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic biopsy on suspicion of malignant lesions. Histologically, no neoplastic cells were present, and the lesion was consistent with DLH. Six months later, the patient developed rheumatoid arthritis. DLH should be considered in the differentiation of PET-positive irregular opacities, even in the absence of known immune abnormalities.

    Abstract Dentigerous cysts are common odontogenic cysts of the jaw but are rarely associated with supernumerary teeth. Few cases of large dentigerous cysts associated with anterior maxillary supernumerary teeth have been reported. The English literature has documented only four cases of dentigerous cysts>40 mm in diameter associated with supernumerary teeth. A 47-year-old man was referred to our hospital, complaining of minor pain in the maxillary gingiva. Computed tomography revealed a well-defined oval unilocular radiolucent lesion (50×45×35 mm) in the right maxilla, including two impacted supernumerary teeth. A dentigerous cyst associated with impacted anterior maxillary supernumerary teeth was diagnosed. The two impacted teeth were surgically removed, and the cyst was enucleated using the Caldwell-Luc approach. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a large dentigerous cyst associated with impacted anterior maxillary supernumerary teeth. The postoperative course has been uneventful for two years. We also reviewed the relevant English literature.

    Abstract Background: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been increasingly used as a new radiation modality for unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The risk factors for radiation pneumonitis (RP) during consolidation durvalumab following concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) using IMRT have not been thoroughly investigated.
    Methods: This retrospective study analyzed medical record data from consecutive patients diagnosed with NSCLC who underwent CCRT and consolidation durvalumab at our institution between April 2018 and September 2022. Since we adopted IMRT for the treatment of NSCLC in April 2020, these patients were categorized into two groups: those treated with IMRT after April 2020 and those treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) before April 2020.
    Results: A total of 31 patients underwent IMRT (the IMRT group), while 25 patients underwent 3D-CRT (the 3D-CRT group). In both groups, the total dose was 60 Gy in 30 fractions. The cumulative incidence of ≥ grade 2 RP at 12 months was significantly lower in the IMRT group than in the 3D-CRT group (27.0% vs. 64.0%, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.338, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.144-0.793, p = 0.013). In the multivariable analysis, V20 (≥ 25.6%, HR: 2.706, 95% CI: 1.168-6.269, p = 0.020) and radiotherapy technique (IMRT, HR: 0.414, 95% CI: 0.172-0.994, p = 0.048) were identified as significant risk factors for ≥ grade 2 RP.
    Conclusions: IMRT is associated with a lower rate of ≥ grade 2 RP in patients with NSCLC who received CCRT followed by durvalumab.

    Abstract Molluscan shells are composed of calcium carbonates, with small amounts of extracellular matrices secreted from mantle epithelial cells. Many types of shell matrix proteins (SMPs) have been identified from molluscan shells or mantle cells. The pen shell Atrina pectinata (Pinnidae) has two different shell microstructures, the nacreous and prismatic layers. Nacreous and prismatic layer-specific matrix proteins have been reported in Pteriidae bivalves, but remain unclear in Pinnidae. We performed transcriptome analysis using the mantle cells of A. pectinata to screen the candidate transcripts involved in its prismatic layer formation. We found Asprich and nine highly conserved prismatic layer-specific SMPs encoding transcript in P. fucata, P. margaritifera, and P. maxima (Tyrosinase, Chitinase, EGF-like proteins, Fibronectin, valine-rich proteins, and prismatic uncharacterized shell protein 2 [PUSP2]) using molecular phylogenetic analysis or multiple alignment. We confirmed these genes were expressed in the epithelial cells of the mantle edge (outer surface of the outer fold) and the mantle pallium. Phylogenetic character mapping of these SMPs was used to infer a possible evolutionary scenario of them in Pteriomorphia. EGF-like proteins, Fibronectin, and valine-rich proteins encoding genes each evolved in the linage leading to four Pteriomorphia (Mytilidae, Pinnidae, Ostreidae, and Pteriidae), PUSP2 evolved in the linage leading to three Pteriomorphia families (Pinnidae, Ostreidae, and Pteriidae), and chitinase was independently evolved as SMPs in Mytilidae and in other Pteriomorphia (Pinnidae, Ostreidae, and Pteriidae). Our results provide a new dataset for A. pectinata SMP annotation, and a basis for understanding the evolution of prismatic layer formation in bivalves.

    Abstract Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the thymus is a particularly rare type among thymic carcinomas. Here, we report a patient who underwent complete surgical resection of the primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the thymus. She was 74 years old and presented with a 60-mm multilocular cystic tumor in her right anterior mediastinum. We performed extended thymo-thymectomy with partial resection of the right upper lobe and pathologically diagnosed the patient with Masaoka stage II mucinous adenocarcinoma of the thymus. Immunohistochemistry showed the absence of PD-L1, suggesting that immune check point inhibitors targeting PD-1/PD-L1 might not be effective in this case. The increased preoperative serum levels of CA19-9 decreased after the operation. CA19-9 is a biomarker for disease status. Future reports should help elucidate the pathogenesis of this disease.

    Abstract Trub, a brewing by-product, can be used as alternative ingredient for foods nutritional enrichment after its bitter compounds extraction. Study presents the optimisation of bitter compounds extraction from trub by Box-Behnken design, and use of debittered trub (DT) as new ingredient to enrich pasta. Bitterness extraction process was evaluated at different pH levels, time and extraction steps, and physical-chemical properties of DT (obtained under optimal conditions) were evaluated. Pasta was enriched with DT (5%, 10% and 15%) and its physical-chemical and quality properties were evaluated. Protein structure and chemical composition of trub were altered after process, also modifying its technological properties. Pasta with 10% DT increased in 33.51% protein content. Interaction of DT and wheat proteins resulted in a more compact structure, and DT water absorption capacity provided pasta texture changes. DT use improved pasta nutritional and quality properties, enabling trub valorisation and its use as vegetable proteins alternative source.

    Abstract Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) synthesizes enzymes that degrade lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of Pleurotus ostreatus spent substrate (POSS) on whole-plant corn silage (WPCS) chemical composition, antioxidant capacity, lignin monomers, and in vitro digestibility, as well as the performance of lactating goats fed corn silage treated with different levels of POSS. In experiment 1, 4 levels of lignocellulolytic enzymes were tested in a complete randomized design: 0, 10, 20, and 30 mg of lignocellulosic enzymes per kilogram of fresh matter, 4 replicates per treatment (vacuum-sealed bags). The bags were opened 60 d after ensiling. In experiment 2, corn silage treated with 3 enzyme levels (0, 10, or 30 mg/kg of fresh matter) was fed to lactating goats as part of the total mixed ration. Nine lactating Saanen goats (62.68 ± 7.62 kg BW; 44 ± 8 d in milk; 2.91 ± 0.81 kg of milk/day, mean ± SD) were assigned to three 3 × 3 Latin squares. Data were analyzed using the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS (version 9.4, SAS Institute Inc.), and means were compared by linear and quadratic orthogonal contrast. In experiment 1, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), lignin, and cellulose quadratically decreased in the WPCS treated with POSS. At the nadir point, POSS decreased NDF by 14.1%, ADF by 19.5%, lignin by 9.07%, and cellulose by 22.1% compared with the untreated silage. Therefore, POSS led to a quadratic increase in in vitro dry matter digestibility of WPCS (+8.88% at the vertex) compared with the untreated silage. In experiment 2, POSS quadratically increased the in vivo total-tract ADF digestibility. Also, the concentration of polyphenols in the milk of goats linearly increased with the addition of POSS, and no differences were observed among treatments for milk yield and composition. In summary, adding 10 mg of lignocellulolytic enzymes from POSS per kilogram of fresh matter of whole-plant corn at ensiling had a more evident reduction in lignin and cellulose concentration, leading to greater in vitro digestibility, as well as greater in vivo ADF digestibility; however, milk yield was not different among treatments.
