Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the link between anti-ribosomal P antibody (anti-RibP) levels and disease activity in Japanese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), including 80 individuals from Niigata University Hospital.
- Results showed that 30 patients tested positive for anti-RibP, which correlated with more severe symptoms like skin rashes and increased inflammatory cytokine levels, particularly in younger patients.
- The findings suggest that anti-RibP, especially its IgG3 subclass, is significantly associated with SLE severity and could be used as an indicator for disease management, indicating the need for higher initial treatment doses in certain cases.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers created a model to study how these characteristics impact gait performance, seeking periodic solutions that replicate cheetah movement dynamics.
- * Their findings confirmed that movements emphasizing these traits lead to enhanced gait performance, providing insights into the dynamics behind the cheetah's high-speed locomotion.
Fusobacterium necrophorum is a very rare cause of endocarditis. We herein report a case of F. necrophorum endocarditis with liver abscesses in a 51-year-old woman.

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) plays a crucial role in formation of the ECM by the SMAD (Sma-and Mad-related protein, mothers against decapentaplegic homolog) pathway. It has been reported that loss of function of zinc transporter ZRT/IRT-like protein 13 (ZIP13) is the cause of the spondylocheiro dysplastic form of EDS (SCD-EDS: OMIM 612350).
