The antidepressant effect of Shexiang Baoxin Pills on myocardial infarction rats with depression may be achieved through the inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.

Background: Patients with myocardial infarction (MI) frequently experience a heightened incidence of depression, thereby increasing the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Consequently, early detection and intervention in depressive symptoms among patients with MI are imperative. Shexiang Baoxin Pills (SBP), a Chinese patent medicine employed for the treatment of MI, exhibits diverse mechanisms targeting this condition.

The balance between CD4+ T helper 17 and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 is involved in the pathogenesis and development of atrial fibrillation.

Background: To investigate the expression of Th17, T lymphocyte immunoglobulin mucin 3 (TIM-3+) cells and their related cytokines in atrial fibrillation (AF) and their clinical significance.

Methodology: A total of 90 patients with AF were divided into paroxysmal group (n=45) and chronic group (n=45), and 45 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group. The proportion of Th17 cells and Tim-3 + cells in the peripheral blood were detected.

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein induces M2-type differentiation of macrophages to promote the protracted progression of atherosclerotic inflammation in high-fat diet-fed ApoE -/- mice.

In this study, the significance of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in promoting the progression of atherosclerosis was investigated by inducing the differentiation of macrophages into the M2 subtype within a high-fat diet-induced ApoE -/- mouse model. The study also evaluated the effects of β2-AR agonists and blockers on this process. Ox-LDL was found to have significantly promoted the differentiation of macrophages into the M2 type and induced related functional alterations.

Generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (SIAISi010-A) from a 31-year-old healthy donor with Chinese Han genetic background.

A healthy 31-year-old Chinese Han female donated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Her PBMCs were reprogrammed with human OKSM (OCT3/4, KLF4 SOX2, and c-MYC) transcription factors by the non-integrating episomal vector system. Immunocytochemistry for pluripotency markers confirmed the pluripotency of transgene-free iPSCs.

Generation of a human-derived induced pluripotent stem cell line (SIAISi012-A) from an 82-year-old healthy Chinese Han male.

As the global median population age increases, neurological diseases associated with aging pose significant challenges to human health. Appropriate modeling systems can be useful tools to better understand the mechanism of age-related neuronal degeneration diseases. Here, we successfully generated an iPSC-derived modeling system of an 82-year-old healthy man, this newly established line showed that all pluripotent markers were expressed, and the differentiation potential was confirmed by trilineage differentiation.

Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (SIAISi009-A) from a 60-year-old Chinese Han female with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) having two copies of APOE4/4 allele.

Induced pluripotent stem cells play vitally essential roles in regenerative medicines for disease modeling and drug screening. Here, we successfully generated an iPSC line from PBMC of a 60-year-old female with mild cognitive impairment in an APOE 4/4 background to better understand studies relating to MCI and other cognitive diseases. In the newly-developed hiPSC line SIAISi009-A, all pluripotent markers were well expressed.

Generation of three iPSC cell lines (SIAISi006-A, SIAISi007-A and SIAISi008-A) from a 66-year-old Alzheimer's disease (AD) patient and her two unaffected children from Chinese Han population.

A 66-year-old Chinese Han Alzheimer's Disease (AD) female patient and her two unaffected children donated their Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Non-integrating episomal vector system were used to reprogram their PBMCs with human OKSM (OCT3/4, KLF4, SOX2, and c-MYC) transcription factors. Immunocytochemistry for pluripotency makers confirmed the pluripotency of transgene-free iPSCs.

Generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (SIAISi011-A) from a 61-year-old Chinese Han healthy female donor.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were donated by a healthy 61-year old Chinese Han female. Human OKSM (OCT3/4, KLF4 SOX2, and c-MYC) transcription factors were used to reprogram her PBMCs with the non-integrating episomal vector system. Immunocytochemistry for pluripotency makers confirmed the pluripotency of transgene-free iPSCs and their ability to differentiate spontaneously three germ layers in vitro.

Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line (SIAISi003-A) from a 79-year-old patient with Alzheimer's disease having APOE3/4 genetic background.

The genotype of apolipoprotein E (APOE) is closely associated with susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease. Here, we described the generation and characterization of human induced pluripotent stem cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a 79-year-old female patient with Alzheimer's disease having APOE3/4 genotype. The generated iPSCs expressed pluripotent stem cell markers that were observed using immunocytochemistry.
