    Abstract Intestinal transplant is an uncommon treatment of intestinal failure that has provided many patients with reduced morbidity and mortality. However, there are associated risks, including an increased risk of cancer, such as posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder and solid-organ malignancy. Here, we report a unique case of primary jejunal adenocarcinoma presenting initially only with axillary lymphadenopathy in a patient with recurrent posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder after multiple solid-organ transplants, including small intestine and 2 renal transplants.

    Abstract Objectives: The invasive screening methods and the late stage diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) are contributing for the devastative prognosis. The gradual shift of the disease pattern among younger generations requires the implementation of phytochemicals and traditional medicines.
    Methods: The SW-480 cell line was checked for the cytotoxicity and the cell viability criteria with MTT(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) assay. The acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EtBr) assay revealed the depth of apoptosis affected cells in the fluorescent images. The FTIR analysis exhibited the graphical spectrum of functional groups within the compound AR.
    Results: The IC
    Conclusions: The AR shows strong cyto-toxicity against the SW-480 cells by inducing apoptosis. It also modulates cellular metabolism with the involvement of functional groups which antagonizes the strong acids. Moreover, these effects need to be analyzed further based in the

    Abstract Introduction: Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Given that there is no pharmacological treatment for MASLD, it is imperative to understand whether lifestyle modifications may improve biochemical and pathological outcomes. One commonly proposed dietary modification is the Mediterranean diet; however, vegetarianism may also be a promising intervention. Vegetarianism has been shown to be associated with reduced morbidity and mortality in metabolic syndrome outcomes in coronary artery disease and diabetes; however, the relationship between vegetarian diet and MASLD is less clear. In this scoping review, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the current body of evidence related to a vegetarian diet and MASLD.
    Methods and analysis: The aim of this scoping review is to describe and summarise the current body of evidence related to MASLD and a vegetarian diet. This review will be conducted using Arksey and O'Malley's framework. The literature review will be conducted using the following databases: SCOPUS, Web of Science, CINAHL-Plus, Cochrane Library and Medline. No restriction will be made on publication date. Included studies will encompass clinical trials and observational designs that examine effects or association of vegetarian diet in adults (≥16 years) and report on the incidence, prevalence or progression of MASLD. Grey literature, non-human studies and articles focusing on changes in a specific food or nutraceutical will be excluded. Articles must have an English-language abstract available to be considered for inclusion. Screening and data extraction will be conducted by two independent reviewers. The findings will be summarised with descriptive statistics.
    Ethics and dissemination: Approval from a medical ethics committee is not required for this review. Once the review is complete, the findings will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.

    Abstract Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent disorder associated with obesity and diabetes. Few treatment options are effective for patients with NAFLD, but connections between the gut microbiome and NAFLD and NAFLD-associated conditions suggest that modulation of the gut microbiota could be a novel therapeutic option.
    Aim: To examine the effect of the gut microbiota on pathophysiologic causes of NAFLD and assess the potential of microbiota-targeting therapies for NAFLD.
    Methods: A PubMed search of the literature was performed; relevant articles were included.
    Results: The composition of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract can enhance fat deposition, modulate energy metabolism and alter inflammatory processes. Emerging evidence suggests a role for the gut microbiome in obesity and metabolic syndrome. NAFLD is often considered the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome, and there has been tremendous progress in understanding the association of gut microbiome composition with NAFLD disease severity. We discuss the role of the gut microbiome in NAFLD pathophysiology and whether the microbiome composition can differentiate the two categories of NAFLD: nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL, the non-progressive form) vs nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH, the progressive form). The association between gut microbiome and fibrosis progression in NAFLD is also discussed. Finally, we review whether modulation of the gut microbiome plays a role in improving treatment outcomes for patients with NAFLD.
    Conclusions: Multiple pathophysiologic pathways connect the gut microbiome with the pathophysiology of NAFLD. Therefore, therapeutics that effectively target the gut microbiome may be beneficial for the treatment of patients with NAFLD.

    Abstract Background: The diverse specificity mode of cancer treatment targets and chemo resistance demands the necessity of drug entities which can address the devastating dynamicity of the disease. Objectives: To check the anti-tumour potential of traditional medicine rich in polyherbal components and metal nanoparticle namely Arkeshwara rasa (AR). Material methods: The AR was prepared in a modified version with reference from Rasaratna Samuchaya and characterized using sophisticated instrumental analysis including XRD, SEM-EDAX, TEM, TGA-DSC, and LC-MS and tested against the MDA-MB-231 cell line to screen cell viability and the cytotoxicity with MTT, SRB and the AO assay. Results: XRD pattern shows cubic tetrahedrite structure with Sb, Cu, S peaks and trace elements like Fe, Mg, etc. The particle size of AR ranges between 20 and 30 nm. The TGA points thermal decomposition at 210 °C and the metal sulphide peaks in DSC. LC-MS analysis reveals the components of the formulation more on the flavonoid portion. The IC50 value of MTT and SRB are 25.28 μg/mL and 31.7 μg/mL respectively. The AO colorimeter substantiated the cell viability and the apoptosis figures of the same cell line. The AR exhibits cytotoxicity and reaffirms the apoptosis fraction with SRB assay. Conclusions: The Hesperidine, Neohesperidin, Rutin components in the phytochemical pool can synergize the anti-tumour potential with either influencing cellular pathways or decreasing chemo resistance to conventional treatment. AR need to be further experimented with reverse transcription, flow cytometry, western blotting, etc.

    Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. Treatment for locoregional MCC includes local excision with regional lymphadenectomy, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have emerged as a breakthrough treatment of metastatic MCC. Nevertheless, T-cell immune response is triggered against self-antigens resulting in immune-mediated toxicities, including ICI-mediated hepatotoxicity. We report a case of recurrent metastatic MCC treated with avelumab, a PD-L1 inhibitor, with subsequent significant liver biochemical flare. The initial clinical diagnosis was ICI-mediated hepatotoxicity. Workup to rule out competing causes of liver injury came back negative. Hence, avelumab was discontinued, and the patient was initiated on steroid therapy with stepwise escalation. Owing to clinical and laboratory deterioration, it was then decided to perform a percutaneous liver biopsy to document steroid-refractory ICI-mediated hepatotoxicity and/or rule out other causes of potential liver injury. The liver biopsy showed MCC tumor cells almost entirely infiltrating the hepatic parenchyma, confirmed by immunohistochemistry. At that point, steroid therapy was discontinued, and the patient was transitioned into palliative care. In conclusion, patients with apparent ICI-related hepatotoxicity should always be considered for a liver biopsy to exclude massive infiltrative malignancy as the true cause of liver dysfunction.

    Abstract The liver is considered the most immunotolerant organ among all solid-organ transplants. Liver transplant recipients have a lower incidence of rejection and better outcomes after episodes of rejection, with spontaneous operational tolerance developing in up to 20%. In multiorgan transplants, a protective effect of the liver allograft on simultaneously transplanted organs from the same donor has been demonstrated. We describe an unusual case of isolated liver allograft rejection in a patient with polycystic liver and kidney disease who received a combined liver-kidney transplant from the same donor. After initial discharge from the hospital, our patient had 2 episodes of biopsy-proven late acute cellular rejections, despite higher levels of immunosuppression required for her kidney allograft, which were addressed with pulsed steroid therapy. She had no evidence of ischemic cholangiopathy on imaging. Later, a subsequent liver biopsy demonstrated features consistent with chronic ductopenic rejection. She was eventually listed for liver retransplant and has recently received a second liver transplant while continuing to have no concerns with her kidney allograft function. Examination of the explanted liver confirmed graft loss from chronic ductopenic rejection. The exact reasons why our patient developed acute graft rejection progressing to chronic end-stage rejection of the liver allograft despite not developing graft rejection in the kidney allograft from the same donor remains elusive. Our experience demonstrates that graft tolerance in multiorgan transplant recipients can be organ specific and despite the belief of "immunologic privilege," isolated liver allograft rejection can occur in multiorgan transplant, resulting in graft loss.
