Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,differential diagnosis,and prognosis of breast carcinoma within fibroadenoma(FA).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical and imaging data of 21 cases of FA-associated carcinoma.HE staining,immunohistochemistry using the EnVision method,and next-generation sequencing were employed to assess the clinicopathological characteristics and genetic alterations,with a review of the relevant literature.Results All patients were female,aged 21-67 years,with a median age of 48 years.Clinically,all lesions presented with well-circumscribed mass lesions.On imaging,12 cases demonstrated punctate or coarse calcifications,while 3 cases exhibited locally indistinct margins.Pathological examination revealed that the tumors had an average maximum diameter of 2.25 cm,with a gray-white nodular cut surface resembling FA.Microscopically,there was proliferation of either epithelial or spindle cells.The pathological diagnosis was FA-associat-ed in situ carcinoma in 16 cases(15 cases of low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ and 1 case of lobular carcinoma in si-tu),and invasive carcinoma in 5 cases(comprising 2 cases of invasive carcinoma-no special type,1 case of invasive lobular carcinoma,1 case of low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma and 1 case of fibromatosis-like metaplastic carcino-ma).In 18 cases,the carcinoma was confined within the FA,whereas in 3 cases the tumor locally extended beyond the FA,and 1 case exhibited ipsilateral axillary lymph node metastasis.Immunophenotypically,tumor cells in in situ carcinomas were negative for CK5/6,while the myoepithelial cells were p63-positive,and both estrogen receptor(ER)and progesterone receptor(PR)were diffusely and consistently positive.In invasive carcinoma,both ductal and lobular subtypes were ER and PR positive and HER2 negative.Conversely,in the low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma and fi-bromatosis-like metaplastic carcinoma,ER,PR,and HER2 were all negative,with p63 and CK5/6 positivity.Two ca-ses were negative for mismatch repair protein PMS2.Six cases had a family or personal history of malignant tumors;a-mong the 5 cases that underwent next-generation sequencing,2 cases harbored germline BRCA2 mutations,2 cases had germline PMS2 mutations,and 1 case exhibited no definitive genetic alteration.Conclusion Carcinoma arising within FA exhibits atypical clinical and imaging features.In patients with high-risk factors for breast cancer or family history of malignancy,or when calcifications are observed on imaging,prompt excision and biopsy are recommended.Recogniz-ing the abnormal morphology within FA and the use of immunohistochemistry are essential for accurate diagnosis,with careful differentiation from spindle cell metaplastic carcinoma and low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma.Overall,the prognosis is relatively favorable,and treatment should be tailored according to tumor type,molecular subtype,and stage.

Objective To investigate the effect of cordyceps sinensis(CS)on the activation of fibroblasts through IL-6 trans-signaling pathway and its specific mechanism in the treatment of renal fibrosis.Methods Renal fibrosis mouse model was established by unilateral ischemia/reperfusion(UIR),and the mice were administered intragastrically CS,soluble glycoprotein 130 Fc(sgp130Fc)or Hyper-IL-6.Masson's trichrome staining was utilized to identify tubulointerstitial fibrosis.PAS staining was utilized to assess the extent of renal injury.Western blot was employed to analyze the expression levels of fibrosis markers[alpha-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),fibronectin(FN)]and proteins associated with IL-6 trans-signaling pathway[phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(p-STAT3),soluble interleukin-6 receptor(sIL-6R)].The expression and localization of proteins were additionally detected by immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence and qPCR.The effect of cordyceps sinensis extract cordycepin on IL-6 trans-signaling in fibroblasts was further investigated in vitro.Results The results from in vivo experiments showed that administration of CS during the chronic phase demonstrated a beneficial protective impact on inflammation and fibrosis in the affected kidney,and serum creatinine levels and collagen deposition were decreased.Western blot analysis revealed a decrease in the expression levels of α-SMA,FN,as well as IL-6 trans-signaling pathway protein p-STAT3,sIL-6R in the treatment group.Additionally,the mRNA expression levels of chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 12(CXCL12)were also decreased in the CS treatment group.Additionally,Hyper-IL-6 can partially counteract the therapeutic effects of CS.In vitro experiments further demonstrated that cordycepin inhibited the secretion of IL-6 from NRK-52E.Combined treatment of recombinant IL-6 and sIL-6R protein activated NRK-49F,leading to a significant increase in α-SMA,FN,and p-STAT3 expression levels.Cordycepin or sgp130Fc treatment significantly inhibited the proliferation of fibroblasts induced by IL-6 trans-signaling pathway.Conclusion CS can significantly reduce IL-6 secretion by renal tubular epithelial cells and inhibit the activation of IL-6 trans-signaling pathway in fibroblasts,thereby ameliorating renal interstitial fibrosis.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of linaclotide and procalcitide in the treatment of adult constipation IBS-C.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 80 IBS-C patients admitted from May 2021 to May 2024.All patients were treated with novel secretagogues,and were divided into four groups according to the different treatment methods:linarotinib group and Pucanapide group,with 40 patients in each group.The clinical efficacy of oral administration of 290 μg of Nallotide capsules and 3 mg of Pucanapeptide in the Linalotide group and Pucanapeptide group was compared after one month of continuous treatment.The scores of IBS-C symptoms related to stool frequency,stool characteristics,upper abdominal pain,early satiety,and bloating were evaluated before and Post-treatment.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP),substance P(SP),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),motilin,and gastrin IBS-C related serum markers in feces.The 16s rDNA fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was used to detect Escherichia coli and lactate in feces.Compare the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups based on the levels of Bacillus and Bifidobacterium.Results:There was no difference in the total effective rate between linagliptin group and Pucanotide group(P＞0.05);Post-treatment,the fecal frequency scores of the linaclotide group and the procalcitonin group were higher than pretherapy,while the fecal characteristics,upper abdominal pain,early satiety,and fullness scores were lower than pretherapy(P＜0.05).There was no difference in the fecal frequency,fecal characteristics,early satiety,and fullness scores between the linaclotide group and the procalcitonin group(P＞0.05),and the upper abdominal pain score of the linaclotide group was lower than that of the procalcitonin group(P＜0.05);Post-treatment,VIP,SP,5-HT,motilin and gastrin levels in linagliptin group and Pucanotide group were all lower than that pretherapy(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference between linagliptin group and Pucanotide group(P＞0.05);Post-treatment,the levels of Escherichia coli in the linaclotide group and the procaine group were lower than pretherapy,while the numbers of Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria were higher than pretherapy(P＜0.05).There was no difference between the linaclotide group and the procaine group(P＞0.05);There was no difference in the incidence of headache,bloating/abdominal pain between the linaclotide group and the procaine group(P＞0.05),and the incidence of diarrhea in the procaine group was lower than that in the linaclotide group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Linalotide and Pucanatide have similar therapeutic effects in treating adult IBS-C,both of which can improve patients' clinical symptoms,serum biomarker levels,and intestinal microbiota structure.However,Linalotide has a better effect on improving abdominal pain,while Pucanatide can reduce the risk of diarrhea.Therefore,the clinical application of different new secretagogue drugs can be determined based on individualized symptoms and diarrhea risk of patients.
