Authors: Pontoriero Antonio , Critelli Paola , Zeppieri Marco , Angileri Filippo Flavio , Ius Tamara 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
Paragangliomas (PG) are rare neoplasms of neuroendocrine origin that tend to be highly vascularized, slow-growing, and usually sporadic. To date, common treatment options are surgical resection (SR), with or without radiation therapy (RT), and a watch-and-wait approach.
AIM
To evaluate the local control and effectiveness of exclusive fractionated stereotactic RT (FSRT) treatment in unresectable PG (uPG).
METHODS
We retrospectively evaluated patients with uPG (medically inoperable or refused SR) treated with FSRT with a Cyberknife System (Accuray Incorporated, Sunnyvale, California). Toxicity and initial efficacy were evaluated.
RESULTS
From May 2009 to January 2023, 6 patients with a median age of 68 (range 20-84) were treated with FSRT. The median delivered dose was 21 Gy (range 20-30 Gy) at a median isodose line of 75.5% (range 70%-76%) in 4 fractions (range 3-5 fractions). The median volume was 13.6 mL (range 12.4-65.24 mL). The median cumulative biological effective dose and equivalent dose in 2-Gy fractions were 70 Gy and 37.10 Gy respectively. Site of origin involved were the timpa-nojugular glomus (4/6), temporal bone, and cervical spine. In 1 of the 6 patients, the follow-up was insufficient; 5 of 6 patients showed a 5-year overall survival and 5-year progression-free survival of 100%. We observed negligible toxicities during and after RT. The majority of patients showed stable symptoms during follow-up. Only 1 patient developed spine metastases.
CONCLUSION
Our preliminary results on this small cohort of patients suggest that FSRT could be an effective and safe alternative to SR.

Authors: Liu Tian-Wen , Lin Xiao-Feng , Wen Shu-Ting , Xu Jing-Yi , Fu Zhao-Li , Qin Shu-Min 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
Complex and high-risk surgical complications pose pressing challenges in the clinical implementation and advancement of endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR). Successful perforation repair under endoscopy, thereby avoiding surgical intervention and postoperative complications such as peritonitis, are pivotal for effective EFTR.
AIM
To investigate the effectiveness and safety of EFTR assisted by distal serosal inversion under floss traction in gastric submucosal tumors.
METHODS
A retrospective analysis of patients with gastric and duodenal submucosal tumors treated with EFTR assisted by the distal serosa inversion under dental floss traction from January 2023 to January 2024 was conducted. The total operation time, tumor dissection time, wound closure time, intraoperative bleeding volume, length of hospital stay and incidence of complications were analyzed.
RESULTS
There were 93 patients, aged 55.1 ± 12.1 years. Complete tumor resection was achieved in all cases, resulting in a 100% success rate. The average total operation time was 67.4 ± 27.0 min, with tumor dissection taking 43.6 ± 20.4 min. Wound closure times varied, with gastric body closure time of 24.5 ± 14.1 min and gastric fundus closure time of 16.6 ± 8.7 min, showing a significant difference (P < 0.05). Intraoperative blood loss was 2.3 ± 4.0 mL, and average length of hospital stay was 5.7 ± 1.9 d. There was no secondary perforation after suturing in all cases. The incidence of delayed bleeding was 2.2%, and the incidence of abdominal infection was 3.2%. No patient required other surgical intervention during and after the operation.
CONCLUSION
Distal serosal inversion under dental-floss-assisted EFTR significantly reduced wound closure time and intraoperative blood loss, making it a viable approach for gastric submucosal tumors.
Causal relationships between gut microbiota and dementia: A two-sample, bidirectional, Mendelian randomization study
Authors: Ren Zhao-Lin , Zhou Hai-Hong , Chen Chu-Pei , He Hao , Wang Duo-Lao , Liu Zhou 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
Existing evidence suggests that gut microbiota represent a significant environmental risk factor for various forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's dementia, vascular dementia, and dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere. However, the exact causal relationships between gut microbiota and the different forms of dementia or their subtypes remain unclear.
AIM
To investigate putative causal relationships between gut microbiota and dementia or its subtypes using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
METHODS
A bidirectional, two-sample, MR analysis was conducted utilizing publicly available gut microbiota-related genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data from the MiBioGen consortium alongside GWAS summary statistics for dementia and its subtypes from the FinnGen consortium. Instrumental variables were selected according to the fundamental tenets of MR and their strengths were evaluated using the F -statistic. Five MR methods were employed, and the robustness of our findings was validated. To account for multiple comparisons, we applied the Bonferroni method for P -value adjustment.
RESULTS
We identified several gut microbiota taxa exhibiting putative causal relationships with dementia or its subtypes, potentially serving as risk or protective factors for the disease. In addition, reverse MR analysis indicated that the relative abundance of several gut microbiota taxa might be influenced by dementia or its subtypes. An exhaustive sensitivity analysis confirmed the absence of heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy. After applying correction for multiple testing, we observed that the order Bacillales (odds ratio: 0.830, 95% confidence interval: 0.740-0.932, P = 0.00155, P adjust = 0.0311) exhibited a strong association with Alzheimer’s disease-related dementia.
CONCLUSION
The results suggest that gut microbiota is causally associated with dementia. Our findings provide novel insights into the pathophysiology of dementia and have important implications for its treatment and prevention.

Authors: Zhang Shu-Hui , Fan Ming-Wei , Chen Yan , Hu Ying-Bin , Liu Cheng-Xia 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
Computed tomography (CT) small bowel three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction is a powerful tool for the diagnosis of small bowel disease and can clearly show the intestinal lumen and wall as well as the outside structure of the wall. The horizontal axis position can show the best adjacent intestinal tube and the lesion between the intestinal tubes, while the coronal position can show the overall view of the small bowel. The ileal end of the localization of the display of excellent, and easy to quantitative measurement of the affected intestinal segments, the sagittal position for the rectum and the pre-sacral lesions show the best, for the discovery of fistulae is also helpful. Sagittal view can show rectal and presacral lesions and is useful for fistula detection. It is suitable for the assessment of inflammatory bowel disease, such as assessment of disease severity and diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the small bowel and mesenteric space-occupying lesions as well as the judgment of small bowel obstruction points.
CASE SUMMARY
Bleeding caused by small intestinal polyps is often difficult to diagnose in clinical practice. This study reports a 29-year-old male patient who was admitted to the hospital with black stool and abdominal pain for 3 months. Using the combination of CT-3D reconstruction and capsule endoscopy, the condition was diagnosed correctly, and the polyps were removed using single-balloon enteroscopy-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography without postoperative complications.
CONCLUSION
The role of CT-3D in gastrointestinal diseases was confirmed. CT-3D can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases in combination with capsule endoscopy and small intestinal microscopy.
Uterine epithelioid trophoblastic tumor with the main manifestation of increased human chorionic gonadotropin: A case report
Authors: Huang Li-Na , Deng Xi , Xu Jian 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is an extremely rare malignant gestational trophoblastic neoplasm commonly presenting with abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and increased human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This study reported a case of uterine ETT with the main manifestation being increased hCG.
CASE SUMMARY
A 39-year-old female was referred to the Ningbo Maternal and Child Hospital of China in December 2022, complaining of increased hCG levels for 1 month. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed gestational trophoblastic tumor, and hysteroscopic electrotomy and curettage of intrauterine hyperplasia were performed. The patient was diagnosed with uterine ETT through postoperative pathological examination and immunohistochemical results. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy were performed, and hCG levels returned to normal. The patient was without recurrence during the postoperative 3-month follow-up.
CONCLUSION
This study reported a case of uterine ETT with the main manifestation being increased hCG, highlighting that ETT should be considered in the presence of abnormal hCG. A total laparoscopic hysterectomy is recommended.

Primary intraspinal malignant melanoma has rarely been reported, and surgical resection and related characteristics and diagnoses have been discussed.
Border Harms and Everyday Violence
Authors: Iliadou Evgenia 
Published: May 2024

This book is about the European ‘refugee crisis’ and the continuum of border violence across time and space. It problematizes and historicizes the development of the so-called 2015 refugee crisis and explores the deep historical roots of border violence. The book sets the Greek island of Lesvos as its case study due the region’s long history as a border pathway to Europe. In addition, in 2015 Lesvos became the epicentre, and allegory, of one of the worst forced displacements in history since World War II. The book explores the long-term, cumulative harms upon border crossers’ lives across time and space that have been produced by the European Union border regime. It makes an argument about the ‘violence continuum’ in time and space. Through this lens, the refugee crisis is explored in a diachronic sense and placed in a ‘genealogical framework’ (Schulte Nordholt, 2002, p 34). Certain patterns of violence and border control in the present overlap and intersect, displaying similarities and continuities with past patterns and obscuring the beginning and end of the refugee crisis. Therefore, this book proposes that the refugee crisis should be perceived as a violence continuum.
The book asks why social harm and suffering are normalized, routinized and rendered invisible and whether these are deliberate and premeditated. In so doing, the book addresses the issue of human rights violations and the collective, global responsibility for safeguarding them. It concludes with the question of whether these violations consist of ‘banal crimes against humanity’ (Kalpouzos and Mann, 2015).

Authors: Kobayakawa Masao , Shiga Tohru , Takahashi Kazuhiro , Sugawara Shigeyasu , Nomura Kaori , Hanada Kazuhiko , Ishizuka Naoki , Ito Hiroshi 
Published: May 2024

Background
Pheochromocytoma, or paraganglioma (PPGL), is a tumor that arises from catecholamine-producing chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or paraganglion. Systemic therapy, such as the combination of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine or therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals such as [131I] meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), may be administered in cases of locally advanced tumors or distant metastases. However, the current therapies are limited in terms of efficacy and implementation. [211At] meta-astatobenzylguanidine (MABG) is an alpha-emitting radionuclide-labeled ligand that has demonstrated remarkable tumor-reducing effects in preclinical studies, and is expected to have a high therapeutic effect on pheochromocytoma cells.

Methods
We are currently conducting an investigator-initiated first-in-human clinical trial to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of [211At] MABG. Patients with locally unresectable or metastatic PPGL refractory to standard therapy and scintigraphically positive [123I] MIBG aggregation are being recruited, and a 3 + 3 dose escalation design was adopted. The initial dose of [211At] MABG is 0.65 MBq/kg, with a dose escalation in a 1:2:4 ratio in each cohort. Dose-limiting toxicity is observed for 6 weeks after a single bolus dose of [211At] MABG, and the patients are observed for 3 months to explore safety and efficacy profiles. The primary endpoint is dose-limiting toxicity to determine both maximum tolerated and recommended doses. The secondary endpoints include radiopharmacokinetics, urinary radioactive excretion rate, urinary catecholamine response rate, objective response rate, progression free survival, [123I] MIBG scintigraphy on reducing tumor accumulation, and quality of life.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
The aim of this study is to observe the changes in autophagy activities in lung tissues of mice with different degrees of pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and explore the association between PF and autophagy activity. The PF model was established by bleomycin (BLM, 25 and 35 mg/kg) atomization inhalation in C57BL/6 mice, samples were collected on the 7, 14, and 28 days after BLM administration. Hematoxylin–eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes in lung tissues. Masson staining was utilized to assess areas of blue collagen fiber deposition in lung tissues. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA expressions of autophagy-related genes, including Atg5, Atg7, and Atg10 in lung tissues. Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of autophagy-related genes, including p62 and LC3II/LC3I in lung tissues. Compared with control group, BLM dose-dependently decreased PaO2, mRNA expressions of Atg5, Atg7, Atg10, and LC3II/LC3I, while increased lung wet weight, lung coefficient, PF score, the blue area of collagen fibers, and p62 protein on the 7th, 14th, and 28th days. In conclusion, the more severe the PF induced by BLM, the lower the autophagy activity.

On lower density operators
Authors: Ivanova Gertruda , Wagner-Bojakowska Elżbieta 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The classical density topology is an extension of the natural topology on the real line, as the interior of arbitrary Lebesgue measurable set A is contained in the set of density points of A. Also each density point of A belongs to the closure of A for arbitrary measurable set A.
In this paper, we concentrate on lower density operators for which the inclusions mentioned above are not fulfilled. In the first part, examples of such lower density operators generated by measure-preserving bijections are given. There are introduced three conditions to investigate lower density operators for which only the second inclusion holds.
In the second part, the concept of operator D introduced by K. Kuratowski is applied to the characterization of such operators.
In memory of Paolo
Authors: Cavaliere Antonio , Cavaliere Paola 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Paolo de Lucia passed away on March 18, 2022 in Nyon, Switzerland.
He was undoubtedly one of the most respected experts on Real Analysis and Measure Theory, but most of us miss him first of all as a scientific role model, colleague and fatherly friend.
Last year, some of his coauthors, students and friends attended the ‘Abstract Measure Theory and Applications: a symposium remembering Paolo de Lucia’s contributions’, held in Naples on March 30–31, 2023, and contributed orally with lectures and speeches in the section ‘Memories’.
For this reason, this year we wish to commemorate him by transcribing our two contributions and keeping them unchanged, albeit without the familiar context of the symposium, because unchanged is the sorrow for his loss and the weight of his absence for those who knew him.
So, despite an unbridgeable distance, we can imagine him blushing slightly, smiling and saying ironically “At last, for me even a jurist agrees to publish in a mathematics journal”.
Exact-m-majority terms
Authors: Lipparini Paolo 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
We say that an idempotent term t is an exact-m-majority term if t evaluates to a, whenever the element a occurs exactly m times in the arguments of t, and all the other arguments are equal.
If m < n and some variety 𝓥 has an n-ary exact-m-majority term, then 𝓥 is congruence modular. For certain values of n and m, for example, n = 5 and m = 3, the existence of an n-ary exact-m-majority term neither implies congruence distributivity, nor congruence permutability.

Non-commutative effect algebras, L-algebras, and local duality
Authors: Rump Wolfgang 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
GPE-algebras were introduced by Dvurečenskij and Vetterlein as unbounded pseudo-effect algebras. Recently, they have been characterized as partial L-algebras with local duality. In the present paper, GPE-algebras with an everywhere defined L-algebra operation are investigated. For example, linearly ordered GPE-algebra are of that type. They are characterized by their self-similar closures which are represented as negative cones of totally ordered groups. More generally, GPE-algebras with an everywhere defined multiplication are identified as negative cones of directed groups. If their partial L-algebra structure is globally defined, the enveloping group is lattice-ordered. For any self-similar L-algebra A, exponent maps are introduced, generalizing conjugation in the structure group. It is proved that the exponent maps are L-algebra automorphisms of A if and only if A is a GPE-algebra. As an application, a new characterization of cone algebras is obtained. Lattice GPE-algebras are shown to be equivalent to ∧-closed L-algebras with local duality.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Several naturally defined lower separation axioms for bitopological spaces obtained by modifying the axioms T
0, T
1, and R
0 appear in the literature. We introduce and study analogous separation axioms for bitopogenous spaces. In particular, we investigate relationships between the axioms and discuss the conditions under which the relationships are similar to those between the corresponding separation axioms for bitopological spaces.
