The Pathology of Intestinal Mucosal Disruption; Implications for Muscle Loss and Physical Dependency from Late Adolescence to Octogenarians.

Background And Objectives: A pathological increase in intestinal permeability causes muscle loss and physical decline by inducing systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. However, most relevant studies investigate older adults, and the appropriate data across age spans remain elusive. This study aimed to examine the associations of intestinal permeability with muscle loss and physical decline across a large span of ages.

Etched CoFe Prussian blue analog nanozymes with superior peroxidase activity for colorimetric biosensing of hydrogen peroxide and dopamine.

Nanozymes represent a compelling alternative to natural enzymes due to their exceptional stability and cost-efficiency in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. In this work, a nanozyme etched CoFe Prussian blue analog (etched PBA) was designed and fabricated by a simple approach involving first synthesizing CoFe PBA and then chemical etching. The fabricated etched PBA acts as a peroxidase mimic catalyst.

Combination of Methotrexate and Resveratrol Reduces Pro-Inflammatory Chemokines in Human THP-1 Cells.

Introduction: Methotrexate (MTX) is a widely used anti-metabolite drug in cancer therapy, but its efficacy is often hindered by reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced cellular toxicity. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, possesses antioxidant and anticancer properties. Therefore, this in vitro study aimed to investigate the synergistic anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory effects of MTX and resveratrol in human THP-1 cells.

Updates on the Association Between Vitiligo and Thyroid Diseases: A Systematic Review.

The main objective of this study is to estimate the prevalence of thyroid diseases in patients with vitiligo and investigate the potential shared autoimmune mechanisms underlying the co-occurrence of vitiligo and thyroid diseases. To locate research that met the inclusion criteria, a thorough computerized search of relevant databases was carried out. A comprehensive search was carried out on PubMed, SCOPUS, Science Direct, and Web of Science to locate relevant material.
