Hypomyelinating Leukodystrophy 14 (HLD14)-Related UFC1 p.Arg23Gln Decreases Cell Morphogenesis: A Phenotype Reversable with Hesperetin.

Introduction: In the central nervous system (CNS), proper interaction between neuronal and glial cells is crucial for the development of mature nervous tissue. Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies (HLDs) are a group of genetic CNS disorders characterized by hypomyelination and/or demyelination. In these conditions, genetic mutations disrupt the biological functions of oligodendroglial cells, which are responsible for wrapping neuronal axons with myelin sheaths.

Investigation of treatment outcomes for severe extremity trauma in an independent orthopedic trauma center: A case series.

Background: Severe extremity trauma is one of the most challenging injuries to treat. Limb salvage after severe extremity trauma requires rapid revascularization, accurate and appropriate bone and soft tissue reconstruction, and appropriate management to address critical complications. The purpose of this study was to report the treatment outcomes for severe extremity trauma injuries at our independent orthopedic trauma center.

Which pediatric practices use substance use consultation services?

Substance use disorders (SUD) are common in adolescents and young adults, though few youth with SUD receive treatment, and rates of medication for substance use disorder treatment are much lower in youth compared to adults. Pediatric primary care could present an opportunity for youth with SUD to access medication, though pediatric providers may need support. Massachusetts has provided a substance use consultation line for pediatric providers since 2018.

ZFP36 family expression is suppressed by Th2 cells in asthma, leading to enhanced synthesis of inflammatory cytokines and cell surface molecules.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease, in which inflammatory cytokines play a pivotal role. The zinc finger binding protein 36 (ZFP36) family includes ZFP36, ZFP36L1, and ZFP36L2 and is among the RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) reported to cause inflammation. The present study aimed to clarify the roles of the ZFP36 family in asthma, particularly highlighting the relationship between the ZFP36 family and Th2 cells, which are key players in type 2 inflammation in asthma.
