(A) Pedigree of the HSAN-VI family with segregation analysis. The black symbols represent the affected members, and the arrow indicates the proband. Red text represents the variants. (B-G) Aspects of the phenotype of the proband. The proband has an ankle ulcer (B), necrosis of the astragalus (C), moderate scoliosis (D), phalangeal joint contracture (E,F), and cataract (G).
We identified a Chinese family with HSAN (Figure 1A). He consistently could not perceive noxious thermal/gelid stimuli or innocuous warm stimuli, which had resulted in the ankle ulcer and necrosis of the astragalus (Figures 1B,C). The proband had moderate scoliosis (with a Cobb angle of 33 ) without centrum malformation (Figure 1D). The brothers presented with arthrogryposes of the fingers, foot extroversion, knee recurvation deformities, and myasthenia; hence, they achieved independent ambulation at 3 years of age (Figures 1E,F). The proband had thin blue scleras and corneal ulcers and was subsequently diagnosed with a cataract (Figure 1G). HSAN-VI patients, suggesting changes in cell adhesion and the cytoskeleton, which is in accordance with the expectation that DST variants can alter cytoskeletal filament networks (Figure 2E and Supplementary Figure 1). However, we did not observe any change in DST expression by RNAseq or qPCR (Figure 2E).

EGD revealed an ulcerated polypoid mass in the descending portion of the duodenum; the mass was adjacent to the oral side, but did not involve the papilla of Vater (fig. 1a). Endoscopic ultrasonography showed the tumor to be partially invading the head of the pancreas (fig. 1b). Duodenography revealed a protruding lesion at the wall of the pancreatic side of the descending portion of the duodenum (fig. 1c). Abdominal enhanced computed tomography depicted a well-contrasted, hypervascular mass (fig. 1d). Magnifying endoscopy showed a diminished mucosal surface pattern of the gastrointestinal epithelium across the surface of the tumor (fig. 1e). Furthermore, combined with narrow-band imaging (NBI), it also showed a highly dense assembly of microvessels on the surface of the tumor that did not form a capillary network pattern (fig. 1f). Although partial resection of the pancreas had already been performed for a metastatic tumor of the pancreatic tail, the remnant pancreas was of rich volume (fig. 1d).

52-year-old male with atypical chest pain. Fractional flow reserve (FFRCT = 0.52) derived from coronary computed tomography images and based on a physiologic model of coronary blood flow using three principles: (1) The total resting coronary blood flow can be quantified relative to the myocardial mass, (2) The microcirculatory vascular resistance at rest is inversely proportional to the size of the supplying coronary arteries, and (3) The vasodilatory response of the coronary microcirculation to adenosine can be predicted, allowing computational modeling of maximal hyperemia. The integration of the physiological model into 3-dimensional computational models allows computation of coronary flow and pressure under hyperemic conditions.

Time course of transaminases and AFP under sorafenib and panobinostat treatment. (A) Serum levels of GOT, GPT and gamma-GT remained in the normal range under panobinostat (< 50 U/l for GOT and GPT, < 60 U/l for gamma-GT) but rapidly increased again after cessation of panobinostat intake. (B) The tumor marker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) decreased under the combination therapy with sorafenib and panobinostat but rised again under sorafenib monotherapy (normal level < 10 ng/ml). Panobinostat treatment period is indicated in the figure.
Although transaminases and gamma-GT were initially elevated (maximum GOT 130 U/l, GPT 178 U/l, gamma-GT 167 U/l), these parameters rapidly normalized under sorafenib therapy and stayed in the normal range until the end of treatment with panobinostat (Figure 5A). Interestingly, the initially elevated tumor marker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) returned to normal values already under sorafenib therapy despite a lack of radiologic response at this stage (Figure 5B).

Enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and operative views. (A-C) At the onset, a 9 mm heterogeneous intracranial lesion attached to the tuberculum sellae can be seen. The mass was close to the left optic nerve anterior to the chiasm. (D-F) Preoperatively, thin sliced enhanced magnetic resonance imaging showed the lesion had extended into the left optic canal (red arrow). (G-I) The tumor was successfully removed including the intracranial lesion by opening the optic canal.
However, enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 9 mm heterogeneous intracranial lesion attached to the TS around the left optic nerve anterior to the chiasm (Figure 1A-C). Thin sliced enhanced MRI revealed that the intracranial lesion had extended into her left optic canal, even though the size of the main mass was almost the same as earlier (Figure 1D-F). A hemi-interhemispheric approach was used, and the tumor was successfully removed (Simpson grade 2) including the intracranial lesion by opening the optic canal (Figure 1G-I).

Fundus photograph and results of Humphrey static perimetry. (A and B) At the onset, fundus photograph showed that the retina and disc were normal. (C and D) At the onset, Humphrey static perimetry showed inferior temporal field defect in the left eye (30-2 strategy MD -17.57 dB), and normal field in the right eye. (E) One year after the onset, Humphrey static perimetry showed the visual field was almost normal (30-2 strategy MD -2.35 dB). (F) One month after surgery, Humphrey static perimetry showed a mild temporal hemianopia (30-2 strategy MD -3.19 dB).
The results of ophthalmoscopic examinations were normal (Figure 2A and B). Static perimetry 30-2 with the Humphrey field analyzer (HFAII 745; Carl Zeiss AG, Oberkochen, Germany) showed an inferior temporal field defect in the left eye (Figure 2C and D). At the 1-year follow-up examination, her BCVA remained in 1.2, and the visual field was almost normal in the left eye without any treatment (Figure 2E). One month after surgery, her BCVA improved to 1.2, and a mild temporal hemianopia was detected in the left eye (Figure 2F).

Photomicrographies showing the main histological findings. Images A - (case 1; 10X) and B - (case 1; 20X) show cells that are interspersed within agglomerates of fibrin and present as loosely arranged clusters or glandular-like structures. Occasionally, the glandular structures show columnar cells. Image C - Histiocytes show strong cytoplasmic immunostaining for CD68 (case 1; 20X). Image D - Mesothelial cells show strong immunohistochemical positivity for calretinin. (case 1; 20X). Objective magnifications are in parenthesis after the case number.
An incidental finding at histological examination was an agglomerate of polyhedral cells and histiocytes admixed with fibrin and erythrocytes, and focally forming strips or tubular arrays that were not attached to the valve, which appeared to correspond macroscopically to a thrombus (Figures 1A and 1B). Immunohistochemistry was positive for calretinin in some of the cells and for CD68 in others, allowing the identification of a biphasic lesion, with mesothelial cells and macrophages, respectively (Figures 1C and 1D), and the diagnosis of a mesothelial/monocytic incidental cardiac excrescence.

The changes of the seizure frequency and epileptiform discharges along with the changes of quinidine dosages. (A) The patient was given quinidine at a starting dosage of 5 mg/kg/day. The dose slowly increased and maintained at 13.75 mg/kg/day. As the dosage of quinidine increased, the frequency of tonic seizures (the main type of seizures in the patient) gradually reduced from 16 times per month to 4 times per month. (B) The epileptiform discharge of EEG was 1,323 times per 24 h before taking the quinidine. The epileptiform discharge was 512 times per 24 h in the 3rd month, 652 times per 24 h in the 6th month, 598 times per 24 h in the 9th month. With the increase of dosages, the epileptiform discharge showed a significant reduction.
The frequency of tonic seizures subsided by 75% (Figure 2A), whereas the frequency of the other types of seizures was not reduced significantly. The epileptiform discharges decreased by 54.80% (Figure 2B).

T1-weighted MRIs showed heterogeneous and hyperintense signal related to the fat component (Figure 2), and the injection of intravenous contrast clearly revealed the malformed venous component. The solid mass was found to have partially replaced the normal vastus medialis muscle fibers, with fibrofatty overgrowth and varied appearances of clusters of thick-walled muscular vessels; multiple soft-tissue planes were found to be involved as well, showing hypoechoic intralesional clots or development of phleboliths, with low-flow venous parameters that were also barely detectable by Doppler sonography.

Colonoscopic images in the rectum (A), sigmoid colon (B), transverse colon (C), and descending colon (D, E) on admission. Colonoscopy revealed the exacerbation of ulcerative colitis in the rectum (A) and sigmoid colon (B). Although there were no active findings from the cecum to the transverse colon (C), we found long luminal edematous swelling and multifocal massive discharge of pus throughout the descending colon (D, E). The mucosa of the descending colon appeared to be nearly intact.
Colonoscopy on admission revealed widespread shallow ulcers in the rectum and coarse mucosa with mucous, pus, and blood in the sigmoid colon (Fig. 1A and B). Although there were no active UC findings from the cecum (terminal ileum) to the splenic flexure (Fig. 1C), we found long luminal edematous swelling and multifocal discharge of pus throughout the descending colon (Fig. 1D and E).

Colonoscopy revealed mucosal healing in the sigmoid colon (A), and the blood vessels became visible. Although the descending colon was in the process of healing (B), we detected the improvement of the mucosal edema, discharge of pus, and the degree of stenosis. Although a computed tomography scan still showed a thickened wall with a narrowed lumen, the intramural air-filled abscess cavities within the wall of the descending colon had diminished.

Unenhanced abdominal CT at the level of the kidneys shows a well-defined heterogeneous mass displacing the left kidney posteriorly and the bowel loops medially (arrows). Note the presence of multiple nodular calcifications in the mass (arrowheads).. C. Enhanced abdominal CT at the level of the stomach shows a large exogastric, solid, cystic mass arising from the greater curvature of the stomach, and continuous with a protruding intraluminal polypoid mass (arrows). Note the well-enhanced gastric wall (arrowheads) and the presence of air bubbles in the gastric lumen (small slender arrow).. D. Gross specimen of the round exogastric mass, 14 x 9 x 6.5 cm in size, which originated from the posteroinferior wall of the stomach along its greater curvature (arrows). Cut section of the tumor shows some cystic areas filled with serous and mucous material, and keratin, and the presence of hemorrhagic foci.
US revealed a large, mixed-echoic, solid and cystic mass in this same area (Fig. 1A), while unenhanced abdominal CT scans depicted a well-defined heterogeneous mass with intratumoral nodular calcifications (Fig. 1B) and a suspicious focal area of fat density. These scans also indicated that the solid portion of the mass was well enhanced (Fig. 1C). The gross specimen of the round exogastric mass thus obtained measured 14 x 9 x 6.5 cm and originated from the posteroinferior wall of the stomach along its greater curvature (Fig. 1D).
