    Abstract Hepatocytes, the major parenchymal cells in the liver, are responsible for a variety of cellular functions including carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism, detoxification and immune cell activation to maintain liver homeotasis. Recent studies show hepatocytes play a pivotal role in liver inflammation. After receiving liver insults and inflammatory signals, hepatocytes may undergo organelle damage, and further respond by releasing mediators and expressing molecules that can act in the microenvironment as well as initiate a robust inflammatory response. In this review, we summarize how the hepatic organelle damage link to liver inflammation and introduce numerous hepatocyte-derived pro-inflammatory factors in response to chronic liver injury.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the effects of bone grafting materials, collagen-infused grafting materials, and no grafting materials on the soft and hard tissue outcomes when an immediate implant is placed.
    Materials and methods: In addition to hand searching, electronic searches were performed in Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). Only RCTs were included in our review. The Cochrane ROB 2.0 tool was used to assess the risk of bias (ROB). Two subgroups were used to evaluate implant failure rate, buccal bone resorption, soft tissue thickness, and esthetic scores. In the meta-analysis, both the fixed-effects model and the random-effects model were employed.
    Result: 7 RCTs were selected after screening 580 studies, and 205 patients were included in the review, with 279 implants. Two RCTs were at low bias of risk, three were at moderate bias, and two were deemed at high risk of bias. The failure rate (95% CI: 0.17 to 11.84) and soft tissue thickness were not significantly different between collagen with bone grafting materials and without bone grafting materials. On the basis of the failure rate and buccal bone thickness, there was no significant difference between collagen with bone grafting materials and bone grafting materials. While we found collagen with bone grafting materials could have a significant advantage on the buccal bone thickness (MD: -0.43,95% CI -0.72 to -0.41) and esthetic outcome (MD: -1.23,95% CI -1.90 to -0.55).
    Conclusion: In the statement of immediate implant implantation, the thickness of the buccal bone and esthetic outcomes did significantly benefit from bone grafting materials with collagen inserted in the "jumping gap".

    Abstract Rationale: The bleeding of Dieulafoy lesion predominantly involves the proximal stomach and leads to severe gastrointestinal bleeding. However, these lesions have also been reported in the whole gastrointestinal tract. Bleeding of Dieulafoy lesions at the anastomosis was seldomly reported and was very easy to be ignored clinically.
    Patient concerns: We describe a 72-year-old woman with a past history of surgery for rectal carcinoma hospitalized with chief complaint of massive rectal bleeding. No gross bleeding lesion was found during the first emergency colonoscopy. Despite multiple blood transfusions, her hemoglobin rapidly dropped to 5.8 g/dL.
    Diagnosis: She was diagnosed with Dieulafoy lesion at the colorectal anastomosis during the second emergency colonoscopy.
    Interventions: Primary hemostasis was achieved by endoscopic hemostatic clipping. However, she experienced another large volume hematochezia 3 days later, and then received another endoscopic hemostatic clipping. She was improved and discharged. However, this patient underwent hematochezia again 1 month later. Bleeding was arrested successfully after the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) was placed during the fourth emergency colonoscopy.
    Outcomes: This patient underwent 4 endoscopic examinations and treatments during 2 hospitalizations. The lesion was overlooked during the first emergency colonoscopy. The second and third endoscopes revealed Dieulafoy lesion at the colorectal anastomosis and performed endoscopic hemostatic clippings, but delayed rebleeding occurred. The bleeding was stopped after the fourth emergency colonoscopy using OTSC. There was no further rebleeding during hospitalization and after 2-year of follow-up.
    Lessons: As far as we know, there is no reported case of lower gastrointestinal bleeding caused by Dieulafoy lesion at the colorectal anastomosis, OTSC is a safe and effective rescue treatment for Dieulafoy lesions.

    Abstract Pancreatic cancer commonly metastasizes to the liver, lung or adrenal glands, but rarely spreads to the colon. We describe a case of a 65-year-old man with operation history of endoscopic submucosal dissection for rectal adenoma, who visited our department with a lesion in the sigmoid colon. A biopsy of the sigmoid pathologic lesion found heterologous cells in the muscularis mucosa, which indicated that this lesion did not originate in the colon. Abdominal enhanced CT results revealed a soft tissue mass in pancreatic tail and several masses in the liver and rectovesical pouch. 18-FDG PET-scan results showed pancreatic neoplastic mass. Biopsy result of pancreatic pathologic area was positive for ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed that the sigmoid lesion was a metastasis from a primary pancreatic adenocarcinoma-an unusual pattern of spread. The patient accepted chemotherapy after an oncologic evaluation. To our knowledge, there were only nine reported cases of metastatic pancreatic cancer spreading to the colon. This was a rare route of metastasis for pancreatic cancer. It is important to keep this possibility in mind when patients present with a colon lesion. Furthermore, our case highlights the importance of considering metastases when a colon mass is found in patients with a history of colon cancer, although primary colon cancer is still more likely.

    Abstract Background: Patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) often just receive empirical antibiotic therapy, as pathogens can be identified in only few patients using the techniques of conventional culture. Metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) is a useful tool for diagnosis of infectious diseases. However, clinical application of mNGS in diagnosis of infected ascites of cirrhotic patients is rarely reported.
    Case presentation: A 53-year-old male with cirrhosis on regular hemodialysis presented with continuous abdominal pain. After treatment with empiric antibiotics, his inflammatory parameters decreased without significant relief of abdominal pain. Finally, based on ascites mNGS detection, he was diagnosed as infection of
    Conclusions: When conventional laboratory diagnostic methods and empirical antibiotic therapy fail, proper application of mNGS can help identify pathogens and significantly improve prognosis and patients' symptoms.

    Abstract This study evaluated the feasibility of curcumin and docetaxel (DTX) combination therapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Animal assay demonstrated DTX has certain limitations in improving immunosuppressive microenvironment. Treatment with curcumin overcame this inhibition and reduced tumor progression. Curcumin synergized DTX showed significantly greater reduction in tumor burden than either treatment alone via down-regulation of MDSCs, M2 macrophages and up-regulation of CD8

    Abstract Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare type of mesenchymal neoplasm, which occurs most commonly in uterus and gastrointestinal tract. PEComa with perirenal manifestation is an extremely rare entity. To the best of our knowledge, only four cases have been reported up to now. In this case, we reported a patient with both a pulmonary mass and a perirenal mass. Two resections were performed successively and postoperative pathology suggested pulmonary micro invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and perirenal PEComa. This is the first case of perirenal PEComa with pulmonary MIA. Combining the present case and prior literature, we summarized the crucial role of immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis and consider that complete operation might be conducive to patients with perirenal PEComa that presents a benign phenotype, regardless of complications with other tumors.

    Abstract Introduction: To investigate the efficacy and safety of preprocedural simethicone (S) and pronase (P) for optimal mucosal visualization during esophagogastroduodenoscopy with sedation. The effect of postural change combined with premedication on mucosal visibility was also examined.
    Methods: The study randomized 496 patients into 8 groups based on the type of premedication provided and whether a postural change occurred. The premedication in the control group was 100 mL of normal saline solution (NS). The remaining 3 intervention groups were administered 100 mL of simethicone alone (S), pronase solution alone (P), and simethicone plus pronase solution (S + P). Each group was classified into subgroups according to whether there was a postural change (PC). The mucosal visibility score (MVS), total mucosal visibility score (TVS), procedure time, water consumption for mucosal cleansing, and proportion of patients with diminutive lesions <5 mm were recorded.
    Results: The P and S groups had a significantly better TVS than the NS group (11.86 ± 3.36 in group P vs 14.52 ± 2.57 in group NS, P < 0.001; 12.36 ± 2.93 in group S vs 14.52 ± 2.57 in group NS, P = 0.006). The TVS was better in the P group than in the S group (11.86 ± 3.36 vs 12.36 ± 2.93, P = 0.037). The MVS was significantly better in the esophagus and duodenum and worse in the upper and lower gastric body in the S group than in the P group. The P + S group had a significantly better TVS than the P and S groups (9.81 ± 2.90 in group P + S vs 11.86 ± 3.36 in group P and 12.36 ± 2.93 in group S, respectively, P < 0.001),\ and had a reduced amount of flushing water during the procedure (0 [interquartile range [IQR]: 0-33] mL in group P + S vs 40 [IQR: 0-70] mL in group P, P < 0.01; 0 [IQR: 0-33] mL in group P + S vs 50 [IQR: 20-98] mL in group S, P < 0.001). The TVS was significantly better in the P + S + PC group than in the P + S group (8.44 ± 2.10 vs 9.81 ± 2.90, P = 0.003). The MVS was significantly better in the gastric antrum, fundus, and upper and lower gastric body in the P + S + PC group than in the P + S group. There was no significant difference in the detection rate of diminutive lesions among the different groups during an endoscopic examination ( P > 0.05).
    Discussion: The combination of preprocedural administration with simethicone and pronase achieved superior mucosal visualization compared with saline, simethicone, or pronase alone in patients receiving upper endoscopy. Postural change maneuvers performed before endoscopy further improved the mucosal visibility in most parts of the stomach when used with preprocedural simethicone and pronase.

    Abstract KIAA1199, also known as CEMIP or HYBID, is an important member of the Human Unidentified Gene-Encoded (HUGE) database. Accumulated evidence has revealed that KIAA1199 is associated with tumor progression and metastasis in numerous malignancies, including colorectal, liver, gastric, pancreatic, breast, lung, prostate, ovarian and papillary thyroid cancers. As an oncogene, it plays crucial role in the proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration of various tumor cells. In addition, KIAA1199 is also involved in the regulation of multiple signal pathways such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), Wnt/ β-catenin, MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt. In this review, we summarized up to date advancement on the role of KIAA1199 in human cancer development, progression, and metastasis. We also addressed KIAA1199 as a potential therapeutic target for cancer therapy.
