Low-calorie sweetener D-psicose promotes hydrogen peroxide-mediated apoptosis in C2C12 myogenic cells favoring skeletal muscle cell injury
Diet and exercise are the most effective approaches used to induce weight loss. D-psicose is a low-calorie sweetener that has been shown to reduce weight in obese individuals. However, the effect of D-psicose on muscle cells under oxidative stress, which is produced during exercise, requires…

Stimulation of soluble guanylate cyclase by vericiguat reduces skeletal muscle atrophy of mice following chemotherapy
Background: The chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (DOX) promotes severe skeletal muscle atrophy, which induces skeletal muscle weakness and fatigue. Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) contributes to a variety of pathophysiological processes, but whether it is involved in DOX-induced skeletal muscle atrophy…

Longitudinal treatment responsiveness on plasma neurofilament light chain and glial fibrillary acidic protein levels in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder
BACKGROUND: Neurofilament light chain (NfL) and glial fibrilliary acidic protein (GFAP) have been suggested to be biomarkers of the pathophysiological process of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), but the relationship between the plasma levels of these molecules with disease activity…

Iminyl radical-triggered relay annulation for the construction of bridged aza-tetracycles bearing four contiguous stereogenic centers
Bridged tetracyclic nitrogen scaffolds are found in numerous biologically active molecules and medicinally relevant structures. Traditional methods usually require tedious reaction steps, and/or the use of structurally specific starting materials. We report an unprecedented, iminyl…

Focal ischemic stroke modifies microglia-derived exosomal miRNAs: potential role of mir-212-5p in neuronal protection and functional recovery
BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke is a severe type of stroke with high disability and mortality rates. In recent years, microglial exosome-derived miRNAs have been shown to be promising candidates for the treatment of ischemic brain injury and exert neuroprotective effects. Mechanisms underlying miRNA…

Age-Related Changes in Topological Properties of Individual Brain Metabolic Networks in Rats
Normal aging causes profound changes of structural degeneration and glucose hypometabolism in the human brain, even in the absence of disease. In recent years, with the extensive exploration of the topological characteristics of the human brain, related studies in rats have begun to investigate…

Alterations of oral and gut viromes in hypertension and/or periodontitis
The microbiota plays an important role in both hypertension (HTN) and periodontitis (PD), and PD exacerbates the development of HTN by oral and gut microbiota. Previous studies have focused on exploring the importance of the bacteriome in HTN and PD but overlooked the impact of the virome, which is…

Low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound alleviates doxorubicin‐induced cardiotoxicity via inhibition of S100a8/a9‐mediated cardiac recruitment of neutrophils
Doxorubicin (DOX)‐induced cardiotoxicity limits its broad use as a chemotherapy agent. The development of effective and non‐invasive strategies to prevent DOX‐associated adverse cardiac events is urgently needed. We aimed to examine whether and how low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) plays a…

MIR106B and MIR93 Prevent Removal of Bacteria from Epithelial Cells by Disrupting ATG16L1-Mediated Autophagy
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Variants in genes that regulate autophagy have been associated with Crohn’s disease (CD). Defects in autophagy-mediated removal of pathogenic microbes could contribute to pathogenesis of CD. We investigated the role of the micro-RNAs (miRs) MIR106B and MIR93 in induction of…

Altered salivary microbiota profile in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm
Evidence suggests that the DNA of oral pathogens is detectable in the dilated aortic tissue of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), one of the most fatal cardiovascular diseases. However, the association between oral microbial homeostasis and aneurysm formation remains largely unknown. In this study, a…
