Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a debilitating autoimmune condition characterized by chronic synovitis, joint damage, and inflammation, leading to impaired joint functionality. Existing RA treatments, although effective to some extent, are not without side effects, prompting a search for more potent therapies. Recent research has revealed the critical role of FAS-associated death domain protein (FADD) microvesicular shedding in RA pathogenesis, expanding its scope beyond apoptosis to include inflammatory and immune pathways.

Acute heart failure (AHF) is one of the most common diseases in old age that can lead to mortality. Systemic hypoperfusion is associated with hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, which may be irreversible. Ischemic hepatitis due to AHF has been linked to the pathogenesis of liver damage.

Article Synopsis
  • Testicular torsion (TT) is a common emergency in young males that can cause infertility due to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, which damages the testicular tissue.
  • The study explored the effects of TT on both the affected and opposite testis, finding significant biochemical and histological changes, including decreased testosterone and increased markers of injury.
  • Vitamin D3 was shown to have protective effects against IR injury by improving testicular health and potentially targeting specific proteins involved in the injury process.

Potentiometric sensors have a great influence on the determination of most various compounds in their matrices. Therefore, efficient and new sensors were introduced to measure sodium Deoxycholate (NaDC) as a bile acid salt. These sensors are based on NaDC imprinted polymer (MIP) as sensory element.

A novel single-piece all-solid-state ion-selective electrode (SC/ISE) based on carbon-screen printed is introduced. Polyaniline (PANI) is dissolved in a membrane cocktail that contains the same components used for making a conventional ion-selective polyvinyl chloride (PVC) matrix membrane. The membrane, having the PANI, is directly drop-casted on a carbon substrate (screen-printed-carbon electrode).

The role of hepatic free cholesterol (FC) in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is raised up and the intervention with cholesterol synthesis will be a potential therapeutic target. This study investigated the hepatoprotective effect of mevalonic acid pathway inhibition by Zoledronic acid (ZA) on the hepatic changes associated with high fat diet (HFD) in rats.Thirty two male Wistar rats were used.

Long acting non-coding RNAs lncRNAs HOX Transcript Antisense RNA (HOTAIR) is cardioprotective and mediates its effect through sirtulin 1 (SIRT1). The decrease in HOTAIR expression predisposes to various types of cardiomyopathy. We aimed to investigate whether decrease HOTAIR expression is involved in cirrhotic cardiomyopathy or not and the role of glucagon like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1 receptor) in facilitating its effect through studying the effect of a exenatide (EXA), on cardiac function as well as the expression of some relevant bio-molecules.
