Liver expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2) is recently identified as a regulator in energy metabolism. This study aims to 1) investigate the role of leap2 in hepatic steatosis in C57BL/6 mice; 2) evaluate the association between circulating LEAP2 levels and liver fat contents in a hospital based case-control study.
The rodent experiment western blotting and qPCR were performed to evaluate leap2 levels, lipid metabolism pathways and insulin signaling. shRNA was used to knockdown leap2
The clinical study commercial ELISA kits were used to measure circulating LEAP2 levels (validated by western blotting). Liver fat content was estimated using MRI-derived proton density fat fraction and FibroScan-derived controlled attenuation parameter.
The rodent experiment found the hepatic expression and secreted levels of leap2 were increased in mice with diet-induced steatosis. Leap2 knockdown ameliorated steatosis via lipolytic/lipogenic pathway and improved insulin sensitivity via IRS/AKT signaling. The clinical study reported increased circulating levels of LEAP2 in the subjects with steatosis. Moreover, LEAP2 correlated positively with age, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, liver fat content, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR, whereas inversely with acyl-ghrelin. Furthermore, the circulating levels of LEAP2 are dependent on liver fat content, acyl-ghrelin and fasting glucose. Lastly, circulating LEAP2 is an independent predictor of NAFLD.
The study suggests LEAP2 is associated with hepatic steatosis, which may involve lipolytic/lipogenic pathway and insulin signaling.

The short-stature homeobox-containing gene (
) is one of the major growth genes in humans. The clinical spectrum of
haploinsufficiency ranges from Léri-Weill dyschondrosteosis to idiopathic short stature. Herein, we describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of 23 Korean patients with
deficiency disorders.
Medical records of 23 patients (19 females and 4 males) from 15 unrelated families who were genetically confirmed to have
deficiency were retrospectively reviewed.
gene deletions or mutations were determined by sequence analyses using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, chromosomal microarray, and/or Sanger sequencing methods.
In the 15 families, 9 probands were
cases. All 23 patients showed mesomelia. Madelung deformity and tibia vara were observed in 13 (56.5%) and 3 (13.1%) patients, respectively. Genetically, 11 (73.3%) of the 15 families showed
deletions of various sizes, and the other 4 families harboured
sequence variants. Four patients had undergone orthopaedic surgeries (3 for tibia vara and 1 for Madelung deformity). Among 7 patients who had received growth hormone treatment for ≥1 year, 5 showed good responses, with a median first-year change-in-height standard deviation score of +0.6. There were no significant differences in the clinical characteristics of the deletion and point mutation groups.
A high index of suspicion and the genetic confirmation of
deficiency are helpful for the timely management of the condition and are needed to provide genetic counselling to the family members of the patients.

The objective of this study is to discuss clinical characteristics and treatments of hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma on the basis of 2 cases and to review recent literature, in order to present medical advances.
A 29-year old male patient came to our hospital because of a huge tumour on the right kidney. Enhanced CT showed that the tumour was about 15.5*10.5 cm, and was considered to be malignant. Another case was a 38-year old female patient. She complained was found to have a right kidney tumour in a routine physical examination. Enhanced CT showed an early-stage tumour of about 4.3*3.7 cm on the lower pole of the right kidney. The male patient underwent open radical nephrectomy and the female patient underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and extensive retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. signaling pathway The two patients underwent genetic testing and were diagnosed as having hereditary leiomyomatosis with renal cell carcinoma.
The postoperative pathology in both patients revealed type 2 papiltherapy still play an important role in clinical treatment.
Hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma is a rare hereditary disease resulting from FH gene mutation. There are currently no effective treatments.Our cases demonstrate that hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma is a very aggressive disease. Early screening and surveillance are recommended for patients with a family history or who are at risk of hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma. Surgical and palliative therapy still play an important role in clinical treatment.
For milk hygiene and safety, the milking phase is a critical moment because it is a probable pathway for the introduction of unwanted microorganisms in the dairy chain. In particular, Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli are known as possible microbial contaminants of raw sheep's milk, although extensive knowledge regarding their contamination dynamics on sheep farms is still lacking. This study aimed to examine the occurrence and concentration of these microorganisms in milk samples collected from farm bulk tanks in the region of Lazio (Central Italy) and to investigate the related risk factors. Over a period of 1 year, we collected 372 milk samples from 87 sheep farms and administered a questionnaire to acquire information regarding relevant farm management variables. L. monocytogenes was not found in any of the samples, which indicates a low occurrence of this pathogen in sheep's bulk tank milk. In contrast, E. coli was found in almost two-thirds of milk samples (61%) but at levels below 102 CFU/mL in most of them (approximately 75%).
