Background: Teratoma with nephroblastoma (TWN) is an extremely rare condition. Since 1984, only 45 reported cases have been identified. To our knowledge, there have been only two cases of TWN of ovarian origin.
Case presentation: We described a case of ovarian TWN who presented to us with painless abdominal masses 6 months after undergoing right ovarian cystectomy. The tumor had spread to the abdomen due to spontaneous rupture of the ovarian cyst and failure to undergo chemotherapy. Microscopically, the ovarian mass exhibited the typical components of a mature cystic teratoma. The tumors found in both the ovary and abdomen contained the nephroblastoma components and were strongly positive for WT-1. The patient was advised to undergo chemotherapy and she was lost to follow-up.
Conclusion: A careful histological examination is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, which is based on morphology and extensive immunohistochemical studies. According to the literature, surgical excision alone seems reasonable as the prognosis of TWN is considered to be good. However, due to the spontaneous rupture of the ovarian cyst, chemotherapy of the patient after the first surgery was necessary in our case. Therefore, additional case studies are needed to clarify the standardized treatment of TWN.

Topoisomerase1 (TOP1)-mediated chromosomal breaks are endogenous sources of DNA damage that affect neuronal genome stability. Whether TOP1 DNA breaks are sources of genomic instability in Huntington's disease (HD) is unknown. Here, we report defective 53BP1 recruitment in multiple HD cell models, including striatal neurons derived from HD patients. Defective 53BP1 recruitment is due to reduced H2A ubiquitination caused by the limited RNF168 activity. The reduced availability of RNF168 is caused by an increased interaction with p62, a protein involved in selective autophagy. Depletion of p62 or disruption of the interaction between RNAF168 and p62 was sufficient to restore 53BP1 enrichment and subsequent DNA repair in HD models, providing new opportunities for therapeutic interventions. These findings are reminiscent to what was described for p62 accumulation caused by C9orf72 expansion in ALS/FTD and suggest a common mechanism by which protein aggregation perturb DNA repair signaling.
拓扑异构酶1(TOP1)介导的染色体断裂是影响神经元基因组稳定性的DNA损伤的内源性来源。TOP1 DNA断裂是否是亨廷顿氏病(HD)基因组不稳定性的来源尚不清楚。在这里,我们报告了多种 HD 细胞模型中 53BP1 招募缺陷,包括来自 HD 患者的纹状体神经元。53BP1 招募缺陷是由于有限的 RNF168 活性导致 H2A 泛素化减少所致。RNF168 的可用性降低是由于与 p62(一种参与选择性自噬的蛋白质)的相互作用增加所致。在 HD 模型中,消耗 p62 或破坏 RNAF168 与 p62 之间的相互作用足以恢复 53BP1 的富集和随后的 DNA 修复,这为治疗干预提供了新的机会。这些发现让人联想到在 ALS/FTD 中 C9orf72 扩增引起的 p62 累积,并表明蛋白质聚集扰乱 DNA 修复信号的共同机制。

Consider the Ising model at low temperatures and positive external field λ on an N×N box with Dobrushin boundary conditions that are plus on the north, east and west boundaries and minus on the south boundary. If λ=0, the interface separating the plus and minus phases is diffusive, having O( N) height fluctuations, and the model is fully wetted. Under an order one field, the interface fluctuations are O(1), and the interface is only partially wetted, being pinned to its southern boundary. We study the critical prewetting regime of λN↓0, where the height fluctuations are expected to scale as λ−1/3 and the rescaled interface is predicted to converge to the Ferrari–Spohn diffusion. Velenik (Probab. Theory Related Fields 129 (2004) 83–112) identified the order of the area under the interface up to logarithmic corrections. Since then, more refined features of such interfaces have only been identified in simpler models of random walks under area tilts. In this paper we resolve several conjectures of Velenik regarding the refined features of the Ising interface in the critical prewetting regime. Our main result is a sharp bound on the one-point height fluctuation, proving e−Θ(x3/2) upper tails reminiscent of the Tracy–Widom distribution, capturing a tradeoff between the locally Brownian oscillations and the global field effect. We further prove a concentration estimate for the number of points above which the interface attains a large height. These are used to deduce various geometric properties of the interface, including the order and tails of the area it confines and the polylogarithmic prefactor governing its maximum height fluctuation. Our arguments combine classical inputs from the random-line representation of the Ising interface with novel local resampling and coupling schemes.
考虑低温下的Ising模型和N×N盒子上的正外场λ,Dobrushin边界条件在北、东、西边界上为正,在南边界上为负。如果λ=0,分离正相和负相的界面是扩散的,具有O(N)高度波动,并且模型是完全润湿的。在一阶场下,界面波动为O(1),界面仅部分润湿,被钉扎在其南部边界。我们研究了λN的临界预润湿状态↓0,其中高度波动预计为λ−1/3,并且重新缩放的界面预计收敛于Ferrari–Spohn扩散。Velenik(Probab.Theory Related Fields 129(2004)83-112)确定了界面下区域的顺序,直至对数校正。从那时起,这种界面的更精细的特征只在区域倾斜下随机行走的更简单模型中被识别出来。在本文中,我们解决了Velenik关于临界预润湿状态下Ising界面精细特征的几个猜想。我们的主要结果是一点高度波动的尖锐边界,证明了e-θ(x3/2)上尾让人想起Tracy–Widom分布,捕捉到了局部布朗振荡和全局场效应之间的折衷。我们进一步证明了界面达到较大高度的点的数量的浓度估计。这些用于推导界面的各种几何特性,包括界面限制区域的阶数和尾数,以及控制其最大高度波动的多对数预因子。我们的论点将来自Ising界面随机线表示的经典输入与新的局部重采样和耦合方案相结合。

We analyze statistics for eigenvector entries of heavy-tailed random symmetric matrices (also called Levy matrices) whose associated eigenvalues are sufficiently small. We show that the limiting law of any such entry is non-Gaussian, given by the product of a normal distribution with another random variable that depends on the location of the corresponding eigenvalue. Although the latter random variable is typically nonexplicit, for the median eigenvector it is given by the inverse of a one-sided stable law. Moreover, we show that different entries of the same eigenvector are asymptotically independent, but that there are nontrivial correlations between eigenvectors with nearby eigenvalues. Our findings contrast sharply with the known eigenvector behavior for Wigner matrices and sparse random graphs.

We complete the analysis of the extremal eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix A of the Erdős-Rényi graph G(N, d/N) in the critical regime d log N of the transition uncovered in [2, 3], where the regimes d log N and d log N were studied. We establish a one-to-one correspondence between vertices of degree at least 2d and nontrivial (excluding the trivial top eigenvalue) eigenvalues of A/ √ d outside of the asymptotic bulk [−2, 2]. This correspondence implies that the transition characterized by the appearance of the eigenvalues outside of the asymptotic bulk takes place at the critical value d = d∗ = 1 log 4−1 log N . For d < d∗ we obtain rigidity bounds on the locations of all eigenvalues outside the interval [−2, 2], and for d > d∗ we show that no such eigenvalues exist. All of our estimates are quantitative with polynomial error probabilities. Our proof is based on a tridiagonal representation of the adjacency matrix and on a detailed analysis of the geometry of the neighbourhood of the large degree vertices. An important ingredient in our estimates is a matrix inequality obtained via the associated nonbacktracking matrix and an Ihara-Bass formula [3]. Our argument also applies to sparse Wigner matrices, defined as the Hadamard product of A and a Wigner matrix, in which case the role of the degrees is replaced by the squares of the `2-norms of the rows.

This note corrects Lemma 3.7 in our paper [1]. The main results of the paper remain correct as stated. This note corrects an error in [1, Lemma 3.7]. The lemma is not correct as stated, and the first conclusion must instead be stated as a hypothesis. This erratum corrects the statement of the lemma and then shows that the additional hypothesis is satisfied in each of the three applications of the lemma later in the paper. The main results of the paper remain unchanged. The error in [1, Lemma 3.7] is at the end of the “first step” of the proof. Specifically, the last equation before the “second step” (lines 5-6 of page 3769) is not accurate, because the preceding equation was proven only for all F t -measurable functions φ1(μ), not for all F μ T -measurable functions. We rewrite the lemma as follows, stating equivalence between its two claims as well as a third and often more convenient form: Lemma 3.7*. Let P ∈ Pp(Ω) such that (B,W ) is a Wiener process with respect to the filtration (F t )t∈[0,T ] under P , and define ρ := P ◦ (ξ,B,W, μ)−1. Suppose that (1) and (3) of Definition 3.4 are satisfied, that P (X0 = ξ) = 1, and that the state equation (3.3) holds under P . The following are equivalent: (A) For P ◦ μ−1-almost every ν ∈ Pp(X ), it holds that (Wt)t∈[0,T ] is an (F W,Λ,X t )t∈[0,T ]-Wiener process under ν. (B) Under P , F T ∨ F ξ,W,Λ t is independent of σ{Ws −Wt : s ∈ [t, T ]} for every t ∈ [0, T ). (C) P is an MFG pre-solution Proof. (A⇒ C): Let Q = P ◦ (ξ,B,W, μ,Λ)−1. Assuming (A) holds, the second and third steps of the original proof [1, Lemma 3.7] are correct and show that Q ∈ A(ρ). As all of the other defining properties of an MFG pre-solution hold by assumption, we deduce (C). (C ⇒ B): Note that (C) entails that FΛ t is conditionally independent of F ξ,B,W,μ T given F ξ,B,W,μ t under P , for every t ∈ [0, T ). Fix t ∈ [0, T ), and fix bounded functions φt, ψT , ψt, and ht+ such that φt(Λ) is FΛ t -measurable, ψT (B,μ) is F B,μ T -measurable, ψt(ξ,W ) is F ξ,W t -measurable, and ht (W ) is σ{Ws −Wt : s ∈ [t, T ]}-measurable. The conditional independence yields E [ φt(Λ)| F T ] = E [ φt(Λ)| F t ] , a.s. The independence of ξ, (B,μ), and W easily implies that F T ∨F ξ,W t is independent of σ{Ws− Wt : s ∈ [t, T ]}, and we deduce E [φt(Λ)ψT (B,μ)ψt(ξ,W )ht+(W )] = E [ E [ φt(Λ)| F t ] ψT (B,μ)ψt(ξ,W )ht+(W ) ] = E [ E [ φt(Λ)| F t ] ψT (B,μ)ψt(ξ,W ) ] E [ht+(W )] = E [φt(Λ)ψT (B,μ)ψt(ξ,W )]E [ht+(W )] .

We prove general nonlinear large deviation estimates similar to Chatterjee-Dembo’s original bounds except that we do not require any second order smoothness. Our approach relies on convex analysis arguments and is valid for a broad class of distributions. Our results are then applied in three different setups. Our first application consists in the mean-field approximation of the partition function of the Ising model under an optimal assumption on the spectra of the adjacency matrices of the sequence of graphs. Next, we apply our general large deviation bound to investigate the large deviation of the traces of powers of Wigner matrices with sub-Gaussian entries, and the upper tail of cycles counts in sparse Erdős–Rényi graphs down to the sparsity threshold n−1/2.

Counterexample to Remark 1.7 in [1]. Let φ be a random variable in F (i.e. φ is a random measurable mapping on a compact metric spaceM) of law Q such thatM×Ω 3 (x, ω) 7→ φ(x, ω) ∈ M is measurable. Suppose that Q is regular and let J be a regular presentation of Q. Let X be a random variable in M independent of φ. Out of φ and X, define ψ ∈ F by ψ(x) = φ(x) is x 6= X and ψ(x) = X is x = X. Then M × Ω 3 (x, ω) 7→ ψ(x, ω) ∈ M is measurable. Suppose also that the law of X has no atoms, then (reminding the definition of F) ψ and X are independent and the law of ψ is Q. Note that ψ(X) = X and (except for very special cases) we won’t have that a.s. J (ψ)(X) = ψ(X) = X.
