Objective:To investigate the clinical, cytopathological characteristics, and differential diagnosis of metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinomas (CCRCC).Methods:Nine cases of metastatic CCRCC cytologically diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from July 2021 to December 2024 were collected. The HE staining, May-Grunewald-Giemsa staining, liquid-based slides, cell block preparation, and immunocytochemistry of EnVision two-step staining were performed. The clinical and cytopathological features, treatments and follow-up data were analyzed in combination with literature review.Results:Among the 9 cases of metastatic CCRCC, there were 7 males and 2 females. The age range was 43-78 years, and the average age was 63.6 (57.5, 72.5) years. The metastatic sites were lymph node in 3 cases (2 cases of mediastinal lymph nodes and 1 case of left cervical lymph node), bone in 3 cases (pubis, thoracic vertebrae and femur, respectively), thyroid in 2 cases, and adrenal gland, lung and pancreas in 1 case, respectively. Two of the 9 cases had two metastatic sites (case 8 had metastases of lung and mediastinal lymph nodes; case 9 had metastases of thyroid and cervical lymph nodes). The median time from the diagnosis to metastasis was 9.4 years (range 1.1 to 13.8 years). The tumor cells were arranged in papillary, acinar, sheet, cluster or single scattered pattern. Most cases had uniform nuclei with mild atypia and inconspicuous nucleoli, while some cases had variable nuclei with prominent nucleoli. The cytoplasm of the tumor cells was abundant. Some cases showed clear cytoplasm with small vacuoles, while some of them showed eosinophilic and granular cytoplasm. Immunocytochemically, the tumor cells were positive for CKpan(AE1/AE3,6/6), PAX8 (9/9), CAⅨ (9/9), CD10 (9/9), and vimiten (8/8). Patients were treated primarily with targeted therapy and/or immunotherapy and curettage and radiation therapy for bone lesions. The follow-up time ranged from 1.0 month to 41.5 months (median, 20 months), and all patients survived at the end of follow-up.Conclusions:The cytology of metastatic CCRCC often shows uniform cell size, abundant and clear cytoplasm, low nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, and mild nuclear atypia. Its cytological diagnosis is challenging because it occurs in various sites and needs to be differentiated from primary tumors of these sites. Emphasis should be placed on the morphological recognition of CCRCC, and immunocytochemical staining should be used to improve diagnosis. When necessary, molecular testing can be employed for diagnosis. Meanwhile, the medical history should be carefully inquired by pathologists to avoid missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Alzheimer's disease(AD),a neurodegenerative disorder,manifests pathological changes in the brain even during the asymptomatic stage.As the pathological burden intensifies,patients experience functional decline in multiple cognitive domains,including memory,language,spatial perception,executive function,and calculation,and may also exhibit emotional abnormalities.Once AD progresses,treatment becomes extremely chal-lenging.Therefore,early diagnosis and accurate prediction of disease conversion are core tasks in the prevention and treatment of AD,and they are also urgent scientific research challenges to be overcome.Deep learning(DL)models demonstrate considerable advantages in the diagnosis,prediction,classification,and feature extraction of AD,offering new hope for solving this challenging problem.This research commences with a concise introduction to the outcomes of AD and the fundamental knowledge of deep learning.Subsequently,it offers an overview of the imaging studies on the utilization of deep learning for predicting disease transformation from two perspectives.Firstly,it systematically summarizes the existing DL models that have demonstrated innovation in the classification and prediction performance of AD.Secondly,it provides a comprehensive outline of the DL fusion models applied to the diagnosis,classification,and prediction of AD.Finally,this paper expounds upon the impending challenges in the research of this domain.This article demonstrates that deep learning models is cutting-edge trends in the ex-ploration of AD research.

Visfatin,also known as nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase(NAMPT)or pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor,is a proinflam-matory adipokine.Its immunomodulatory effects are closely associated with its pro-inflammatory activity,influencing the secretion of vari-ous cytokines and the function of immune cells.Visfatin exerts pro-tumorigenic effects in most cancers.The tumor immune microenviron-ment(TIME)comprises immune cells within the tumor tissue and an array of secreted cytokines.Growing evidence suggests that visfatin plays a regulatory role in the TIME by promoting inflammatory responses and modulating the polarization of immune cells,their secretory functions,surface protein expression,and energy metabolism,thereby influencing cancer progression.These newly discovered mechanisms provide a critical foundation for the application of NAMPT inhibitors(NAMPTi)in cancer immunotherapy.This review summarizes recent ad-vances in understanding the role of visfatin in tumor immunology and explores the therapeutic potential of NAMPTi in oncology.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and mechanism of Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma et Radix （Huzhang） in treating respiratory syncytial virus（RSV） infection by regulating pulmonary surfactant lipid homeostasis through lipidomics. MethodsSixty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the blank group， model group， positive group（ribavirin group， 46 mg·kg^-1）， and low- and high-dose Huzhang groups（0.75， 2.25 g·kg^-1）， with 12 mice in each group. Except for the blank group， all other groups were infected with RSV via intranasal instillation. The drug intervention groups were given corresponding doses of drug by gavage for 3 consecutive days， while normal saline was used in the blank and model groups. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe pathological changes in mouse lung tissue. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） was employed to detect viral loads［RSV-nucleoprotein（N） and RSV-glycoprotein（G） mRNA］ and inflammatory factor levels［interleukin（IL）-1β and tumor necrosis factor（TNF）-α mRNA］ in the lung tissue. Mouse bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected to detect the levels of pulmonary surfactant lipids through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS）， followed by principal component analysis and differential lipid identification. ResultsCompared with the blank group， the model group exhibited extensive inflammatory cell infiltration， congestion， and tissue damage in the lungs， and the pathological score and lung index of lung tissue significantly increased（P<0.01）， along with significantly elevated mRNA expressions of RSV-N， RSV-G， IL-1β， and TNF-α（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， different doses of Huzhang and ribavirin significantly reduced the pathological scores of the lung tissue and lung index（P<0.01）. In addition， the mRNA levels of RSV-N， RSV-G and TNF-α in the lungs significantly decreased in the Huzhang high dose group（P<0.01）. Lipidomics analysis identified multiple significantly changed differential metabolites. Compared with the blank group， the model group showed obvious abnormal lipid metabolism， which was manifested by the elevated levels of prostaglandin（PG）， ceramide（Cer）， phosphatidylcholine（PC）， phosphatidylethanolamine（PE）， phosphatidylinositol（PI）， sphingomyelin（SM）， and the decreased levels of diglycerides（DG） and acylethanolamine（NAE）. After the intervention of low dose of Huzhang， the above lipid metabolites showed a significant reversal trend， while the intervention of high dose of Huzhang could regulate levels of PI lipids， PG lipids and PC lipids. ConclusionHuzhang can significantly reduce the viral load of lung tissue and improve lung inflammation in RSV-infected mice. The underlying mechanism may be related to the maintenance of homeostasis in pulmonary surfactant lipids such as PI and PG.
