    Abstract Traumatic neuroma is not a true neoplasm but a reparative proliferation of axons, Schwann cells, and fibroblasts at the proximal end of transected or injured nerves resulting from trauma or surgery. Breast traumatic neuroma after breast surgery, with or without clinical symptoms, has rarely been reported. Once found, it should be differentiated from tumor recurrence, and tissue confirmation is necessary, although it is small in size and demonstrates a benign appearance in imaging studies. Herein, we present two cases of traumatic neuroma at the mastectomy site. They were incidentally encountered during ultrasound evaluation of mastectomy beds given concerns for potential recurrence or malignancy, and pathologic confirmation by ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy was sufficient for the diagnosis.

    Abstract Epidermal inclusion cyst is a relatively common benign lesion of the skin, and it can occur anywhere in the hair-bearing area of the body. It usually appears as an asymptomatic mass, which is less than 4 cm in size. However, rarely it can occur as a large mass in the axilla, and in such cases, the location and size tend to cause more complications. The author encountered a patient with a large epidermal inclusion cyst of the axilla. Ultrasound examination showed an oval-shaped hypoechoic subcutaneous mass with dermal attachment, intralesional echogenic reflectors, filiform anechoic areas, and no vascularity. These characteristic imaging features could lead to an accurate preoperative imaging diagnosis without biopsy and avoid subsequent complications. Excision of the mass was performed due to discomfort because of the large size and growing nature of the lesion, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermal inclusion cyst. Therefore, recognition of diagnostic ultrasound features of this entity may enable an accurate preoperative diagnosis, even when it has an unusual size and location.

    Abstract The diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) has become relatively common in recent years, but little is known about its association with other malignancies. We present a rare case of successfully treated metachronous GIST and colon cancer with concurrent FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) chemotherapy and imatinib. A 63-year-old man presented with abdominal pain that had started 2 weeks ago, and endoscopic ultrasonography showed masses that were compatible with GIST on the duodenum. He underwent Whipple surgery. One year after the GIST diagnosis, two liver masses were found on abdominal computed tomography images taken for surveillance. A liver biopsy showed metastatic adenocarcinoma, not GIST. Colonoscopy was then performed to identify the primary site of the metastatic adenocarcinoma in the liver, and sigmoid colon cancer was found. He received 12 cycles of adjuvant FOLFOX concurrently with adjuvant imatinib. There were no serious adverse events of grade 3 or higher from either imatinib or chemotherapy. He has completed adjuvant imatinib and FOLFOX chemotherapy and there is no evidence of disease recurrence. When a synchronous or metachronous tumor is found in a GIST patient, the clinician should keep in mind the possibility of another primary tumor of different histopathology, as well as GIST recurrence.

    Abstract Abstract RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) containing low-sequence complexity domains mediate the formation of cellular condensates and membrane-less organelles with biological functions via liquid‒liquid phase separation (LLPS). However, the abnormal phase transition of these proteins induces the formation of insoluble aggregates. Aggregates are pathological hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The molecular mechanisms underlying aggregate formation by ALS-associated RPBs remain largely unknown. This review highlights emerging studies on various posttranslational modifications (PTMs) related to protein aggregation. We begin with the introduction of several ALS-associated RBPs that form aggregates induced by phase separation. In addition, we highlight our recent discovery of a new PTM involved in the phase transition during the pathogenesis of fused-in-sarcoma (FUS)-associated ALS. We suggest a molecular mechanism through which LLPS mediates glutathionylation in FUS-linked ALS. This review aims to provide a detailed overview of the key molecular mechanisms of LLPS-mediated aggregate formation by PTMs, which will help further the understanding of the pathogenesis and development of ALS therapeutics.

    Abstract As a carotenoid originally used as a pigment in the aquaculture industry, astaxanthin is gaining interest in food, nutritional, and biopharmaceutical sciences in recent years due to its great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its health effects on diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and so on. However, the poor chemical stability and water solubility make practical applications of astaxanthin on human health become challenging. Nanoencapsulation of astaxanthin is considered a possible solution to tackle such challenges by improving chemical stability, and providing controlled release, thus enhancing its bioaccessibility and bioavailability. In this article, an updated overview of the chemistry, sources, and extraction methods of astaxanthin is provided. Moreover, recent studies on the health effects of astaxanthin were introduced and then the recent progress on the preparation of various nanoparticles for the encapsulation of astaxanthin are highlighted. This perspective article aims to provide guidance on potential structural designs of nanoparticles for the encapsulation of astaxanthin and the effects of nanoencapsulation on its functionality.

    Abstract Bloody nipple discharge in pediatric patients is rare and mostly associated with benign conditions.Despite the generally benign nature, a thorough investigation of the cause and treatment is required if a palpable lesion is present. Here, the author reports a case of bloody nipple discharge in an adolescent girl with no significant medical history. Breast ultrasound demonstrated a solid, oval-shaped, circumscribed mass in the left subareolar region that was categorized as category 4a according to the breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS). An excisional biopsy and histological examination confirmed a diagnosis of intraductal papilloma. While intraductal papilloma is rare in the pediatric population, ultrasound evaluation and knowledge of characteristic findings are useful for noninvasive diagnostics and image-guided treatment planning.

    Abstract Through the lens of self-regulation theory (SRT), this study investigates the following: (1) the ways in which consumers’ personality traits of conscientiousness, openness, and agreeableness increase their self-regulated mindsets of frugality and green efficacy; (2) whether frugality facilitates green efficacy; and (3) whether frugality and green efficacy ultimately affect recycling behavior. This study proposes modeling the duality of the self-regulated mindsets of frugality and green efficacy as the reason why consumers engage in recycling behavior. This study conducted an online survey among U.S. consumers that garnered 400 responses for the empirical data analysis. The results reveal that frugality is positively influenced by conscientiousness and openness, whereas green efficacy is facilitated by agreeableness but not by openness. Notably, frugality contributes to green efficacy, which indicates the causal duality of the self-regulated mindset as a motive in recycling behavior. Both frugality and green efficacy predict greater recycling behavior. The findings provide theoretical and practical implications for consumers’ recycling behavior and the development of effective public promotion strategies for the disposal of waste and recycling.

    Abstract The Hypenodinae are distributed only in the old world, including the temperate zone of eastern Asia. This study was conducted to review the subfamily Hypenodinae, in which the members have been placed under the different higher taxa. A total of 13 species including one new subspecies under 7 genera of two tribes are recognized from Korea in this study. Among them, one new subspecies, Micreremites pyraloides pyraloides ssp. n., is described as new to science and one species Hypenodes turfosalis Wocke, 1850 was treated to synonymize H. humidalis. Also, all available information, including distribution, images of adults, and genitalic structures, were provided.
