Alone or in combination, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate alleviate ECM degradation in osteoarthritis by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway.

Backgrounds: Osteoarthritis (OA) significantly impacts the elderly, leading to disability and decreased quality of life. While hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) are recognized for their therapeutic potential in OA, their effects on extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation are not well understood. This study investigates the impact of HA and CS, individually and combined, on ECM degradation in OA and the underlying mechanisms.

Trace phospholipid and fatty acid differences between dairy and plant-based milk products by H and P NMR spectroscopy combined with multivariate statistical analysis.

With development of modern food industry, plant-based milk products are widely used to replace dairy products to cook different kinds of food. Due to different origins, it is necessary to assess the nutrition difference between dairy and plant-based milk products. Phospholipids and unsaturated fatty acids, as the important nutrients in cream and butter, were closely related to body development and health.

Clinical Manifestations.

Background: Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) corresponds to a clinical phenotype with heterogeneous neuropathology, including corticobasal degeneration (CBD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and synucleinopathies such as Lewy Body Disease (LBD), in rare cases. Previous reports of CBS-LBD describe patients with diffuse LBD, a younger age of onset and occasionally lacking core features like REM sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD).

Method: We present a young patient with CBS who had a rapid progression and was found to have a high burden of limbic LBD and high AD co-pathology at autopsy.
