Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the link between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and urinary phthalate metabolites, considering the rise of phthalate substitutes and variations in diagnostic approaches.
  • - Analyzing data from 641 participants in the NHANES 2017-2018 database, researchers used three methods to diagnose NAFLD and assessed the concentration of various phthalate metabolites in urine.
  • - Significant correlations were found between NAFLD and certain phthalate metabolites through logistic regression analysis, emphasizing the need for precise diagnostics in understanding NAFLD's development.

The study investigates the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of ginsenoside Rg_1(GRg_1) on sepsis-induced acute lung injury(SALI). A murine model of SALI was created using cecal ligation and puncture(CLP) surgery, and mice were randomly assigned to groups for GRg_1 intervention. Survival and body weight changes were recorded, lung function was assessed with a non-invasive lung function test system, and lung tissue damage was evaluated through HE staining.

Inflammasomes, composed of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain(NOD)-like receptors (NLRs), are immune-functional protein multimers that are closely linked to the host defense mechanism. When NLRs sense pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), they assemble into inflammasomes. Inflammasomes can activate various inflammatory signaling pathways, including nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways, and produce a large number of proinflammatory cytokines, which are closely associated with multiple cancers.
