Zebrafish as a Visible Neuroinflammation Model for Evaluating the Anti-Inflammation Effect of Curcumin-Loaded Ferritin Nanoparticles.

It is crucial to inhibit the neuroinflammation response as it is a prominent factor contributing to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. However, the limited development of neuroinflammation models dramatically hinders the efficiency of nanomedicine discovery. In recent years, the optically transparent zebrafish model provided unique advantages for imaging of the whole body, allowing the progression of the disease to be visualized.

IGF2-IGF1R signaling inhibition delays the growth of IGF2-high colorectal cancer by modulating MDSCs.

Approximately 22 % of human colorectal cancers (CRC) are characterized by IGF2 overexpression, and the tumor-promoting role of IGF2 has been widely reported. Despite promising preclinical results, IGF2 signaling inhibition therapy has exhibited limited efficacy in treating unselected patients with CRC. Recent evidence suggests that IGF2-high CRC are more sensitive to IGF2 signaling blockade therapy in immune-deficient mice, suggesting that IGF2-high CRC can benefit from IGF2 signaling blockade therapy.

Correlation analysis of key genes and immune infiltration in visceral adipose tissue and subcutaneous adipose tissue of patients with type 2 diabetes in women.

Immune cell infiltration into adipose tissue (AT) is a key factor in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, research on the impact of fat distribution on immune cells and immune responses in women is still lacking. This study used enrichment, protein-protein interaction network, immune cell infiltration, and correlation analysis to compare the similarities and differences between the transcriptome data of visceral AT (VAT) and subcutprotein-proteinaneous AT (SAT) obtained from the omprehensive database of gene expression in women with non-T2DM and T2DM.

The relationship between excessive iodine during pregnancy and adverse pregnancy complications.

Purpose: Iodine nutrition during pregnancy plays an important role in fetal development and maternal outcomes. Iodine deficiency has been proved to be associated with maternal thyroid dysfunction, adverse fetal outcomes and neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring. At present, there are few studies concentrate on the effects of iodine excess during pregnancy on thyroid function, maternal and neonatal outcomes, and the results are still controversial.

Clinical characteristics and early identification of augmented renal clearance in PICU patients with severe sepsis associated with MRSA infection.

Objectives: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of Augmented Renal Clearance (ARC) in severe sepsis children with MRSA infection and find risk factors to establish a model predicting ARC onset in PICU.

Design: Retrospective study, in which ARC was defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) measured by the modified Schwartz formula above 130 ml/min/1.73 m.
