Future in the past: paternal reprogramming of offspring phenotype and the epigenetic mechanisms
Arch Toxicol. 2024 Mar 9. doi: 10.1007/s00204-024-03713-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThat certain preconceptual paternal exposures reprogram the developmental phenotypic plasticity in future generation(s) has conceptualized the "paternal programming of offspring health" hypothesis. This transgenerational effect is transmitted primarily through sperm epigenetic mechanisms-DNA methylation, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and associated RNA modifications, and histone modifications-and potentially through non-sperm-specific mechanisms-seminal plasma and circulating factors-that create 'imprinted' memory of ancestral information. ...

Incidence and factors associated with stent dysfunction and pancreatitis after gastroduodenal stenting for malignant gastric outlet obstruction
Conclusions Deployment of the Niti-S pyloric/duodenal stent, with conformability even for angulated strictures, significantly reduced the incidence of SD. Stent selection, life expectancy, and MPD caliber should be taken into consideration during decision-making for GDS deployment for mGOO.

Cell-specific IL-1R1 regulates the regional heterogeneity of microglial displacement of GABAergic synapses and motor learning ability
This study demonstrates that IL-1β is critical for the regional heterogeneity of synaptic displacement by coordinating different actions of neurons and microglia via IL-1R1, which impacts both neural network homeostasis and motor learning ability. It provides a theoretical basis for elucidating the physiological role and mechanism of microglial displacement of GABAergic synapses.PMID:38438808 | DOI:10.1007/s00018-023-05111-0 (Source: Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences : CMLS)

Skin dose-volume predictors of moderate-severe late side effects after whole breast radiotherapy
CONCLUSIONS: The association between late reactions and skin DVH when delivering 40 Gy/15 fr was quantified, suggesting an independent role of V20 and V42. Few clinical factors heavily modulate the risk.PMID:38423138 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110183 (Source: Radiotherapy and Oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology)

Genetic and histological analysis intraplacental choriocarcinoma: a case report
We report on single case of intraplacental choriocarcinoma (IC) coexisting with feto-maternal hemorrhage from our hospital, a rare malignant tumor that occurs in the chorionic villous trophoblast. To investigate genetic and epigenetic changes to the carcinogenesis of IC, we employed cancer gene panel analysis and whole methylation analysis from a recent case of IC. By Short Tandem Repeats analysis, we confirmed that the tumor of present IC was derived from concurrent normal chorionic villous trophoblast cells. No mutation was found in 145 cancer-related genes. Meanwhile, amplification in MDM2 gene was observed. Furthermore...
