    Abstract Introduction: Scrotal leiomyoma is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm that originates from smooth muscles. Up to now, the exact tumor properties remain unclear.
    Case presentation: A 53-year-old male presented with intermittent mild pain and constant heaviness in the right scrotum for 1 year. The physical examination revealed a 6.5 cm by 5.5 cm by 5.5 cm sized, firm, mobile and non-tender lump within the inferior right scrotum. The ultrasound examination revealed a well-circumscribed and heterogenous hypoechoic tumor. MR imaging showed isointense on T1-weighted images, hypointense on T2-weighted images, and mild enhancement on post-contrast sequences. Then, he received simple tumor excision and further pathological examination demonstrated the diagnosis of typical leiomyoma.
    Conclusion: A full understanding of these rare tumor properties is the key to administering optimal treatment.

    Abstract Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged mesenchymal neoplasms (non-inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor and non-epithelioid fibrous histiocytoma) have been recently described which tend to occur in the superficial and deep soft tissues. Occurrence as a primary sinonasal neoplasm has not been reported thus far. Herein, we describe the first case of sinonasal ALK-rearranged mesenchymal tumor that harbored remarkable epithelioid and spindle cell morphology. The tumor affected a 40-year-old man who presented with flu-like symptoms and was thought to have influenza A. However, computed tomography demonstrated a nasal polypoid lesion causing curvature of the nasal septum. Histological examination revealed a heterogeneous tumor composed of round to epithelioid cells with foci of spindle cells. The tumor cells exhibited moderate pleomorphism and mitotic activity. By immunohistochemistry, they showed diffuse staining of CD34, S100, ALK (D5F3) and CD30. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis demonstrated

    Abstract Enolase is a highly conserved enzyme that presents in all organisms capable of glycolysis or fermentation. Its immediate product phosphoenolpyruvate is essential for other important processes like peptidoglycan synthesis and the phosphotransferase system in bacteria. Therefore, enolase inhibitors are of great interest. Here, we report that Gp60, a phage-encoded enolase inhibitor protein (PEIP) of bacteriophage SPO1 for Bacillus subtilis, is an enolase inhibitor. PEIP-expressing bacteria exhibit growth attenuation, thinner cell walls, and safranin color in Gram staining owing to impaired peptidoglycan synthesis. We solve the structure of PEIP-enolase tetramer and show that PEIP disassembles enolase by disrupting the basic dimer unit. The structure reveals that PEIP does not compete for substrate binding but induces a cascade of conformational changes that limit accessibility to the enolase catalytic site. This phage-inspired disassembly of enolase represents an alternative strategy for the development of anti-microbial drugs.

    Abstract Background: It is still a challenging problem for clinicians to explore the nature of the indeterminate biliary strictures (IBSs). Approximately 20% of biliary strictures remain undetermined after a thorough preoperative assessment.
    Case presentation: Here, we present two cases of indeterminate biliary strictures patients, whose cross- sectional imaging and endoscopic examination were nondiagnostic. The patients underwent exploratory laparotomy finally and were confirmed as malignancy. We also reviewed the recent reports in literatures regarding the evaluation of IBSs.
    Conclusions: Given the majority of the biliary strictures are malignancy, preoperative differentiation between benign and malignant is critical for choosing the best therapeutic regimen. Thus, close follow-up, multiple multidisciplinary discussion, and prompt surgical exploration are necessary for some difficult diagnostic cases.

    Abstract Mitochondria are essential organelles in the human body, serving as the metabolic factory of the whole organism. When mitochondria are dysfunctional, it can affect all organs of the body. The kidney is rich in mitochondria, and its function is closely related to the development of kidney diseases. Studying the relationship between mitochondria and kidney disease progression is of great interest. In the past decade, scientists have made inspiring progress in investigating the role of mitochondria in the pathophysiology of renal diseases. This article discusses various mechanisms for maintaining mitochondrial quality, including mitochondrial energetics, mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial DNA repair, mitochondrial proteolysis and the unfolded protein response, mitochondrial autophagy, mitochondria-derived vesicles, and mitocytosis. The article also highlights the cross talk between mitochondria and other organelles, with a focus on kidney diseases. Finally, the article concludes with an overview of mitochondria-related clinical research.
