    Abstract Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an important phenomenon in biology, and it is desirable to develop quantitative methods to analyze protein droplets generated by LLPS. This study quantified the change in protein concentration in a droplet in label-free and single-droplet conditions using Raman imaging and the Raman band of water as an intensity standard. Small changes in the protein concentration with variations in pH and salt concentration were observed, and it was shown that the concentration in the droplet decreases as the conditions become less favorable for droplet formation. The effect of exposure to 1,6-hexanediol was also examined, and this additive was found to decrease the protein concentration in the droplet. A model can be proposed in which the addition of 1,6-hexanediol reduces the protein concentration in the droplet, and the droplet disappears when the concentration falls below a certain threshold value.

    Abstract Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) plays an important role in a variety of biological processes and is also associated with protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases. Quantification of LLPS is necessary to elucidate the mechanism of LLPS and the subsequent aggregation process. In this study, we showed that ataxin-3, which is associated with Machado-Joseph disease, exhibits LLPS in an intracellular crowding environment mimicked by biopolymers, and proposed that a single droplet formed in LLPS can be quantified using Raman microscopy in a label-free manner. We succeeded in evaluating the protein concentration and identifying the components present inside and outside a droplet using the O-H stretching band of water as an internal intensity standard. Only water and protein were detected to be present inside droplets with crowding agents remaining outside. The protein concentration in a droplet was dependent on the crowding environment, indicating that the protein concentration and intracellular environment should be considered when investigating LLPS. Raman microscopy has the potential to become a powerful technique for clarifying the chemical nature of LLPS and its relationship with protein aggregation.

    Abstract Background: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis commonly affects the lymphatic system, nervous system, and gastrointestinal system. Tuberculous infection in the muscle is very rare. Moreover, tuberculous infection in the diaphragm is extremely rare. We herein report a case of tuberculomas in the diaphragm and posterior mediastinum that were successfully diagnosed and treated.
    Case presentation: We encountered a 62-year-old woman with a tuberculoma in the diaphragm. The patient presented with mild dyspnea. Computed tomography showed a mass in the left diaphragm, focal thickening of the posterior mediastinum, and multiple nodules in the lungs. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography showed increased uptake in the left diaphragm mass and thickening of the posterior mediastinum; therefore, we considered the masses to be malignant and planned surgical resection. However, the patient was diagnosed with tuberculosis from a sputum culture, and she was treated with anti-tuberculous therapy. The masses in the diaphragm and posterior mediastinum had become enlarged after 6 months of anti-tuberculous therapy; therefore, the patient underwent resection of both masses. Tuberculous infection was histologically confirmed in each lesion. She was pathologically diagnosed with tuberculous abscesses in the diaphragm and posterior mediastinum and began treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs.
    Conclusions: Preoperative diagnosis of a tuberculoma in the diaphragm is usually difficult, and surgical intervention is important for both diagnosis and treatment.

    Abstract Collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) is a rare subset of high-grade renal cell carcinoma (RCC). To diagnose CDC, it is necessary to rule out other renal tumors including renal medullary carcinoma and fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient RCC. However, there is overlap in the morphology of these three tumors, which all have poor outcomes. There is also still a need to sufficiently examine the therapeutic strategies for each of these tumors. In this study, we retrospectively reclassified invasive/infiltrating high-grade RCC and investigated its pathological features. We reviewed 18 cases previously diagnosed as "CDC," "FH-deficient RCC," and "unclassified RCC," which were reclassified as SMARCB1/INI1-deficient RCC, FH-deficient RCC, and CDC by SMARCB1/INI1, FH, and 2SC immunohistochemistry (IHC) and FH gene mutational status. As the result, 18 cases were reclassified into 2 cases of SMARCB1/INI1-deficient RCC, 7 cases of FH-deficient RCC, and 9 cases of CDC. The morphological features of each group overlapped, and no specific immunohistochemical expression except for SMARCB1/INI1, FH, and 2SC was detected. These results suggest that invasive/infiltrating high-grade RCC should be diagnosed by the combination of immunohistochemistry and molecular biological technique.
