    Abstract Introduction: Pancreatic follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is an exceptionally rare and low-to-moderate malignancy, with only seven reported cases to date. Clinical diagnosis of FDCS is challenging due to the lack of distinct biological and radiographic features.
    Case presentation: A 67-year-old woman presented to the hospital with a 4-day history of severe abdominal pain. Imaging studies (CT and MRI) revealed a large cystic mass located at the tail of the pancreas, which was suspected to be myeloid sarcoma (MS) based on EUS and CT-guided pancreatic puncture. Postoperative pathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of pancreatic FDCS. After the diagnosis was confirmed, the patient received postoperative chemotherapy with the CHOP regimen. At 11 months of follow-up, there was no evidence of recurrence. Seven published cases have been reviewed to comprehensively summarize the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment options of FDCS.
    Conclusion: While imaging can be useful in detecting pancreatic FDCS, it should be interpreted with caution as it can be challenging to differentiate from other pancreatic tumors. Pathology and immunohistochemistry are considered the gold standard for diagnosis, with CD21, CD23, and CD35 being specific tumor cell markers. However, preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic FDCS remains difficult, and the pancreatic puncture may further increase the risk of misdiagnosis. The disease is highly prone to recurrence and metastasis, and surgery is the preferred method for both diagnosis and treatment of localized disease.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Sanchen powder is a traditional Tibetan medicine comprising Bambusae Concretio Silicea, Carthami Flos, and Bovis Calculus Artifactus. Bambusae Concretio Silicea is the dried mass of secreted fluid in the stalks of Gramineae plants such as Bambusa textilis McClure or Schizostachyum chinense Rendle. Carthami Flos is the dried flower of Carthamus tinctorius L. in the Compositae plant. Bovis Calculus Artifactus is made from ox bile powder, cholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, taurine, bilirubin, cholesterol, and trace elements. Research has evidenced the antibacterial efficacy of Sanchen powder, albeit its active constituents for this effect are yet to be established.
    Aim of the study: To investigate effective compounds, potential targets, and molecular mechanism of Sanchen powder for its antibacterial properties by using network pharmacology combined with in vitro validation, with the aims of observing the action of effective compounds in Sanchen powder and exploring new therapeutic strategies for antibacterial.
    Materials and methods: In this study, UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was utilized to identify the chemical composition in Sanchen powder and its blood-borne chemical ingredients post-oral intake. A network pharmacology analysis was used to establish the chemical compound in the blood following oral administration-target-disease network. The study aimed to identify antibacterial active ingredients, which were then subjected to molecular docking and pharmacodynamic experiments to verify their efficacy.
    Results: The findings demonstrate that following oral administration, the blood contains seven key components of Sanchen powder, including bilirubin, glycochenodeoxycholic acid, glycocholic acid, taurocholic acid, phenylalanine, safflomin A, and tryptophan. Additionally, the network pharmacology and molecular docking study results indicate the potential antibacterial effects of bilirubin, glycocholic acid, and glycochenodeoxycholic acid. In vitro antibacterial experiments revealed that bilirubin, glycocholic acid, and glycochenodeoxycholic acid could restrict the growth of the Staphylococcus aureus cell membrane at a certain concentration. Moreover, they exhibited antibacterial effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Escherichia coli.
    Conclusions: Bilirubin, glycocholic acid, and glycochenodeoxycholic acid could be effective therapeutic ingredients for the antibacterial effects of Sanchen powder. These results offer a foundation for further clinical application and research on the antibacterial effect of Sanchen powder, a Traditional Tibetan Medicine.

    Abstract Background: Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a congenital vascular malformation with a complicated etiology. It is sporadic and clinically rare in occurrence. The typical characteristics are capillary malformation (also known as port-wine stain), varicose veins and malformations, and bony and/or soft tissue hypertrophy with or without lymphatic malformation, which are known as the "classic clinical triad". Herein, a rare case of KTS characterized by crossed-bilateral limb hypertrophy accompanied by intermittent hematochezia and hematuria is reported.
    Case summary: We described a 37-year-old female with KTS. She was admitted to our hospital owing to the gradual enlargement of the left lower extremity along with intermittent hematochezia and hematuria. The patient was diagnosed to have hemorrhoid bleeding by other hospitals and treated with conventional hemostatic drugs, but continued to have intermittent gastrointestinal bleeding and hematuria. Therefore, she visited our hospital to seek further treatment. During hospitalization, relevant imaging and laboratory examinations and colonoscopy were performed. In combination with the patient's history and relevant examinations, we considered that the patient had a complex form of KTS. We recommended a combined diagnosis and treatment from the vascular, interventional, anorectal, and other departments, although she declined any further treatment for financial reasons.
    Conclusion: The clinical manifestations of KTS are extensive and diverse and chiefly include the typical triad. However, Vascular malformations of KTS can also involve several parts and systems such as digestive and urogenital systems. Therefore, the atypical manifestations and rare complications necessitate the clinician's attention and are not to be ignored.

    Abstract Background: Pancreatic pseudoaneurysm is a rare vascular complication of chronic pancreatitis (CP) or necrotizing pancreatitis with an incidence of 4% to 17%, but it is potentially life-threatening. It is well known that most pancreatic pseudoaneurysms are clinically associated with pancreatic pseudocysts and are usually in the peripancreatic body-tail. A minority of intrapancreatic pseudoaneurysms occur in the absence of pseudocyst formation. Noninvasive computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are most commonly used examinations for screening pancreatic pseudoaneurysms. Notably, the rare intrapancreatic pseudoaneurysm in the pancreatic head can mimic a hypervascular solid mass and be misdiagnosed as a pancreatic tumor.
    Case summary: We report the case of a 67-year-old man who had been admitted to our hospital due to recurrent abdominal pain for 1 mo that was aggravated for 5 d. CT and MRI revealed a mass in the pancreatic head with significant expansion of the main pancreatic duct and mild atrophy of the pancreatic body-tail. He was admitted to the department of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery due to the possibility of a pancreatic tumor. The patient was then referred for endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) with possible EUS-FNA. However, EUS showed a cystic lesion in the pancreatic head with wall thickness and enhancing nodules, which was doubtful because it was inconsistent with the imaging findings. Subsequently, color doppler flow imaging demonstrated turbulent arterial blood flow in the cystic lesion and connection with the surrounding vessel. Therefore, we highly suspected the possibility of CP complicated with intrapancreatic pseudoaneurysm, combined with the patient's long-term drinking history and the sonographic features of CP. Indeed, angiography revealed an oval area of contrast medium extravasation (size: 1.0 cm × 1.5 cm) at the far-end branch of the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery, and angiographic embolization was given immediately at the same time.
    Conclusion: EUS is an important differential diagnostic tool when pancreatic pseudoaneurysm mimics the imaging appearance of a hypervascular pancreatic tumor.

    Abstract Background: Ectopic pancreas (EP) is defined as pancreatic tissue that lacks anatomical or vascular communication with the normal body of the pancreas. Despite improvements in diagnostic endoscopy and imaging studies, differentiating ectopic pancreatic tissue from gastric submucosal diseases remains a challenge.
    Case presentation: Here, we present a case of a 44-year-old woman with severe epigastric pain. Initially, gastric lymphangioma was highly suspected due to a well-demarcated protruding mass with a large size that occurred in the submucosal layer of the gastric antrum and appeared as a cystic lesion. The final correct diagnosis of gastric EP was made during surgery.
    Conclusion: Gastric EP with serous oligocystic adenoma appearing as a giant gastric cyst is extremely rare. The difficulty of making an accurate diagnosis and differential diagnosis is highlighted, which may provide additional clinical experience for the diagnosis of EP with serous oligocystic adenoma in the stomach.

    Abstract It is unclear how prior antiplatelet (APT) therapy affects outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing endovascular treatment. This review pooled data from the literature to compare outcomes of AIS between prior APT users vs non-users. PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, and Scopus for studies were searched for studies comparing outcomes of AIS between APT users vs non-users up to 30th May 2023. Ten studies were included comparing 2648 APT users with 5076 non-users. Meta-analysis failed to demonstrate any statistically significant difference in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) but there was a tendency of higher mortality rates in prior APT users vs non-users. Although patients with prior APT therapy had significantly higher rates of successful recanalization as compared to patients with no prior APT treatment, meta-analysis showed significantly lower odds of functional independence amongst APT users vs non-users (OR: 0.77 95% CI: 0.68, 0.87 I

    Abstract To explore the effects of the extract of Sanchen powder (ESCP) combined with vancomycin on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) planktonic cells, biofilms, and virulence factors. The herbs in Sanchen powder (SCP) were extracted separately with 50% ethanol. Then, the content of hydroxysafflower yellow A (HSYA) and cholic acid in the extract of artificial cattle bezoar (artificial Calculus bovis) and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) was measured by ultraviolet visible-vis spectrophotometry and high-performance liquid chromatography. The effects of ESCP combined with vancomycin on MRSA by observing its biofilm viability were assessed using a 2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium5-carboxanilide reduction assay and scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, enzyme activity was measured by plasma coagulase test and DNase test. The cholic acid content of the artificial C. bovis extract was 7.34 (0.81) mg/g, and the HSYA content of the C. tinctorius extract was 9.18 (0.09) mg/g. The minimal inhibitory concentrations of ESCP and vancomycin were 25.6 mg/mL and 2 μg/mL. The minimum bactericidal concentration of ESCP was 51.2 mg/mL. ESCP combined with vancomycin could inhibit the expression of coagulase and bacteria in mature biofilms. Neither ESCP nor vancomycin had a significant effect on DNase. This study is the first to show that ESCP combined with vancomycin inhibits coagulase and MRSA embedded in mature biofilms and that it represents a promising treatment for MRSA infection.
