GYY4137 protects against type 2 diabetes mellitus-associated myocardial autophagy by suppressing FOXO1 signal pathway.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but its effective prevention and treatment are still limited. We investigated the effects of GYY4137, a slow-releasing hydrogen sulfide donor, and its downstream mediator forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) on T2DM-associated DCM. , T2DM mice were induced by a high-fat diet coupled with streptozotocin injection.

The impact of immune-related adverse events on the outcome of advanced gastric cancer patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment.

Background: The occurrence of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) seemed to be associated with better outcomes in advanced gastric cancer (AGC) patients. However, research focusing on the impact of the single-organ irAE (uni-irAE) or multi-organ irAEs (multi-irAEs) on the AGC outcome is relatively limited. In this study, we investigated individually the impact of the different irAEs on AGC survival as well as the co-occurrence patterns of multi-irAEs.

The Association of Mitochondrial tRNA G5783A Mutation with Major Depressive Disorder in Two Han Chinese Families.

Objective: In this study, we examined the genetic, medical, and molecular traits of two Han Chinese families with the tRNA G5783A mutation to investigate the relationship between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations and major depressive disorder (MDD).

Methods: Clinical data and comprehensive mitochondrial genomes were collected from the two families. Variants were assessed for evolutionary conservation, allelic frequencies, and their structural and functional impacts.

Ultra-small quercetin-based nanotherapeutics ameliorate acute liver failure by combatting inflammation/cellular senescence cycle.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is marked by a substantial generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can induce both cellular senescence and a pronounced inflammatory response. Senescent cells secrete factors collectively termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which exacerbate inflammation, while inflammation can reciprocally promote cellular senescence. Quercetin (Que), recognized for its ROS-scavenging capabilities, holds the potential for anti-inflammatory and anti-senescent effects.
