This was a case report of a 59-year-old male patient with an unusual major bleeding complication after PCN that mimicked a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. The laparotomy exploration identified the bleeding source from the right lobar artery, thus renorrhaphy was performed. Proper visualization of anatomic layout, color Doppler imaging, and selecting a guiding method and technique could reduce bleeding complications following PCN.

The occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), follicular lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) developing into systemic amyloidosis is uncommon. Here is a case of a 55-year-old Asian woman with a history of IBD, follicular lymphoma, and abdominal DLBCL who developed systemic amyloidosis affecting her gastrointestinal, cardiac, and renal organs. Gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain and melena) initially manifested in this patient with systemic amyloidosis. She underwent treatment with three cycles of rituximab and bendamustine. However, she passed away after 2 months of hospitalization due to multiple organ failure. Hence, physicians must be vigilant in recognizing amyloidosis as a potential complication of lymphoma or other inflammatory diseases, as early recognition can contribute to improved clinical outcomes.

This study aimed to investigate factors associated with stone recurrence based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) rs1801725 and rs1042636, demographic, and clinical profiles. METHODS We collected data on the demographic and clinical characteristics of 80 adult kidney stone formers from April 2021 to September 2022, including peripheral blood samples, morning and 24-hour urine, and 7-day water intake records. Realtime polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate SNP. Comparisons were made between patients with recurrent and first-time stones. RESULTS 41% of 80 patients have experienced stone recurrence. Recurrent stone formers exhibited significantly higher 24-hour urine calcium excretion (p = 0.03) and lower serum calcium levels (p = 0.019) than first-time stone formers. Hypocitraturia (100%), low urine volume (78%), and hyperoxaluria (55%) were the main abnormalities of all patients. No significant differences were found in CaSR gene polymorphisms and other demographic, biochemical, or clinical parameters. CONCLUSIONS Recurrent stone formers had higher 24-hour urine calcium excretion and lower serum calcium levels. Other risk factors and CaSR polymorphisms may insignificantly affect KSD recurrence.

Assessing biomarkers from lesions instead of serum is recommended to evaluate therapeutic response. Since biopsy is invasive, it is necessary to find less invasive and more comfortable methods. This study aimed to assess the reliability of cotton swabs and tape stripping for evaluating AGW’s lesions biomarkers. METHODS We compared cotton swab versus tape stripping method to quantify nuclear factor-κappaB (NF-ĸB), interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and FOXP3+regulatory T cell (FOXP3+Treg) from 3 patients with AGW in the preliminary study. The method was selected based on contamination possibility, side effects, and a simpler approach. The main study examined 48 patients with AGW for reliability and reproducibility using the best sampling method from preliminary result and Spearman’s Rho analysis, while considering the HIV status and CD4+ counts. RESULTS Both cotton swabs and tape stripping obtained adequate protein content for biomarkers examination. However, the tape stripping method was causing serum contamination and painful for patients due to the stripping. The total lesion volume in cotton swab method was positively correlated with all patients’ NF-ĸB (p = 0.001). IFN-γ had a negative correlation in all reactive HIV patients (p = 0.012). FOXP3+Treg and CD4+ counts were negatively correlated with total volume in reactive HIV patients (p = 0.046 and 0.017, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The cotton swab method was reliable in examining NF-ĸB, IFN-γ, and FOXP3+Treg due to its convenience and lack of serum contamination from AGW lesions, potentially improving patient comfort and practical benefits.
