Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is the fifth most common hematologic disorder in the United States, and its prevalence has been rising in Western countries. Among the subtypes of NHL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) mostly involves the lymph nodes, stomach, and gastrointestinal tract, whereas hepatic involvement of DLBCL is rare. On serologic testing, elevated immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels can be observed in DLBCL; however, elevated IgG levels are mainly observed in autoimmune hepatitis. A targeted-lesion biopsy is required for the diagnosis of DLBCL. Based on a final diagnosis, the patient was treated with rituximab-based chemotherapy, including cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone chemotherapy (R-CHOP). Herein, we report a case of DLBCL mimicking antinuclear antibody-negative autoimmune hepatitis, which was finally diagnosed as DLBCL involving the liver, and was confirmed by liver biopsy.

A new high-voltage calcium intercalation host for ultra-stable and high-power calcium rechargeable batteries
2021
Rechargeable calcium batteries have attracted increasing attention as promising multivalent ion battery systems due to the high abundance of calcium. However, the development has been hampered by the lack of suitable cathodes to accommodate the large and divalent Ca
2+
ions at a high redox potential with sufficiently fast ionic conduction. Herein, we report a new intercalation host which presents 500 cycles with a capacity retention of 90% and a remarkable power capability at ~3.2 V (vs. Ca/Ca
2+
) in a calcium battery. The cathode material derived from Na

ions, forming a series of Ca

among the cathodes reported to date, offering the basis for the outstanding cycle life and power capability.
Rechargeable calcium batteries are promising multivalent battery systems but the lack of suitable electrodes hampers their development. Here the authors report a cathode derived from polyanion framework that demonstrates uncommonly stable and fast intercalation behaviours of calcium ions.

Korea hypertension fact sheet 2022: analysis of nationwide population-based data with a special focus on hypertension in the elderly
2023
BackgroundThe Korean Society of Hypertension has published the Korea Hypertension Fact Sheet 2022 to provide an overview of the magnitude and management status of hypertension and their recent trends.MethodsThe Fact Sheets were based on the analyses of Korean adults aged 20 years or older of the 1998–2020 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the 2002–2020 National Health Insurance Big Data.ResultsAs of 2020, 29.4% of the adult population aged 20 or older in Korea, about 12.6 million people, have high blood pressure, of which 5.0 million (40%) are 65 years of age or older and 1.2 million (10%) are 80 years of age or older. Among those with hypertension, the awareness rate is 69%, the treatment rate is 65%, and the control rate is 47%. The number of people diagnosed with hypertension increased from 3.0 million in 2002 to 10.5 million in 2020. During the same period, the number of people using antihypertensive medication increased from 2.5 million to 9.9 million, and the number of people adherent to treatment increased from 0.6 million to 7.4 million. Among those treated for hypertension in 2020, 74% used angiotensin blockers, 61% used calcium channel blockers, 24% used diuretics, and 15% used beta blockers. Combination therapy with at least two classes of antihypertensive medication consisted of 60% of all antihypertensive prescriptions. The number of people with hypertension aged 65 or older is increasing very rapidly compared to those aged 20–64. Awareness and treatment rates of hypertension improved rapidly, especially in those aged 65 or older, but the rate of improvement slowed since 2012.ConclusionsIn Korea, the level of hypertension management is improving, but the absolute number of people with hypertension, especially elderly hypertension, is increasing due to the rapid aging of the population. It is necessary to develop more efficient and target-specific policies to control blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular disease.
