Cold Stress Induced Liver Injury of Mice through Activated NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD Pyroptosis Signaling Pathway.

The body needs to generate heat to ensure basic life activities when exposed to cold temperatures. The liver, as the largest glycogen storage organ in the body and main heat-producing organ at rest, may play a role in chronic cold exposure. Recent studies suggested that pyroptosis plays a crucial role in liver diseases.

The value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant ovarian sex cord stromal tumors.

Background: Sex cord-stromal tumors (SCSTs) are uncommon neoplasms that are typically difficult to diagnose before surgery due to limited experience in their medical imaging. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) can evaluate the microvessel density of tumors, and the microvessel density of malignant tumors is significantly greater than that of benign tumors, so this provides a method for CEUS to differentiate benign and malignant tumors.

Methods: The CEUS diagnoses of 31 patients with pathologically confirmed SCSTs were retrospectively analyzed and compared to conventional ultrasound-based diagnoses.

Prevalence of subclinical mastitis among dairy cattle and associated risks factors in China during 2012-2021: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Bovine mastitis, especially subclinical mastitis (SCM), is one of the most prevalent and economically costly diseases in the dairy industry worldwide. Understanding the prevalence and spatial distribution of bovine SCM and its associated risk factors will facilitate the prevention and control of the disease. We reviewed published studies pertaining to epidemiological surveys of SCM among dairy cows during the past decade (2012-2021) in China from inception to March 20, 2020, with PubMed, Clinical Trial, VIP, CNKI and databases being used to identify English and Chinese articles.

Role of Thioredoxin-1 and its inducers in human health and diseases.

Thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) is a small redox-active protein normally found in mammalian cells that responds to the changing redox environment by contributing electrons or regulating related proteins. There is growing evidence that Trx-1 has multiple functions, including cytoprotective, anti-apoptotic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. To date, researchers have found that Trx-1 deficiency leads to severe damage in various disease models, such as atherosclerosis, cerebral ischemia, diabetes and tumors.

Imaging features of inflammatory pseudotumor-like follicular dendritic cell sarcoma of the spleen.
