Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the action of the Lactobacillus Plantarum probiotic as a immunomodulatory and hypolipidemic agent in dyslipidemic nephrotic children and adolescents. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in pediatric, compensated or partially compensated nephrotic syndrome and dyslipidemic subjects undergoing regular outpatient follow-up. Serum lipid and TNF-α (proinflammatory) and IL-10 (anti-inflammatory) cytokine variations were evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- Disc degeneration affects the intervertebral discs, potentially leading to conditions like herniation and stenosis, with genetic factors playing a larger role than environmental ones.
- A narrative review of recent literature identifies several genes linked to disc degeneration, including those related to collagen and other proteins.
- The review highlights advancements in understanding the genetic mechanisms behind disc degeneration, focusing on gene associations, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, and genetic-environmental interactions.
