Microplastic-induced NAFLD: Hepatoprotective effects of nanosized selenium.
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf
March 2024
Polystyrene microplastics (MPs) are persistent environmental pollutants commonly encountered in daily human life. Numerous studies have demonstrated their ability to induce liver damage, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and lipid accumulation. However, limited information exists regarding preventive measures against this issue.

- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by variable symptoms, making it challenging to diagnose and assess disease activity.
- In a study analyzing gene expression data from SLE patients, DDX60 was identified as a candidate biomarker, exhibiting higher levels during periods of high disease activity and demonstrating good diagnostic capabilities with an area under the ROC curve of 0.8818.
- DDX60 is involved in antiviral immune responses and correlates positively with SLE disease activity scores, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic marker and its role in the pathogenesis of SLE.
Misdiagnosis of ligamentoid fibromatosis of the small mesenteric: A case report.
World J Clin Cases
November 2020
Article Synopsis
- Ligamentoid fibromatosis is a rare soft tissue tumor classified between benign and malignant with local invasion and a high rate of recurrence.
- A 57-year-old female patient discovered an abdominal mass with no significant symptoms and a relevant medical history, leading to considerations for surgical intervention.
- Surgical removal is the primary treatment for ligamentoid fibromatosis, with additional nonsurgical methods available to lower recurrence risk, and overall prognosis is favorable despite potential for recurrence.
Antagonistic effects of nano-selenium on broilers hepatic injury induced by Cr poisoning in AMPK pathway.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
November 2020
Cr (chromium, with common valence states of III and VI) is one of the common broiler feed additives. Liver injury and metabolic disorders could be caused by Cr (hexavalent chromium) poisoning in broilers. Oxidative damage and metabolic disorders of organisms caused by heavy metals could be antagonized by nano-Se (nano-selenium).
