The role of autophagy in brain health and disease: Insights into exosome and autophagy interactions.

Effective management of cellular components is essential for maintaining brain health, and studies have identified several crucial biological processes in the brain. Among these, autophagy and the role of exosomes in cellular communication are critical for brain health and disease. The interaction between autophagy and exosomes in the nervous system, as well as their contributions to brain damage, have garnered significant attention.

Chemical synthesis and antigenic activity of a phosphatidylinositol mannoside epitope from .

Phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs) have been investigated as lipidic antigens for a new subunit tuberculosis vaccine. A non-natural diacylated phosphatidylinositol mannoside (Ac2PIM2) was designed and synthesized by mimicking the natural PIM6 processing procedure in dentritic cells. This synthetic Ac2PIM2 was achieved from α-methyl d-glucopyranoside 1 in 17 steps in 2.

Effects of AMPD1 gene C34T polymorphism on cardiac index, blood pressure and prognosis in patients with cardiovascular diseases: a meta-analysis.

Background: The meta-analysis was aimed to evaluate the effects of AMPD1 gene C34T polymorphism on cardiac function indexes, blood pressure and prognosis in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Methods: Eligible studies were retrieved through a comprehensive search of electronic databases and manual search. Then the high-quality studies met the rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as related to the subject was selected for the study.

WITHDRAWN: The new approach of multiple genome sequence parallel matching based on GPU.

[Experimental study on antitumor effect of extracts from Cestrum nocturnum in vivo].

Objective: To observe the antitumor effects of extracts from Cestrum nocturnum (CN) in vivo.

Methods: The S180-mice model was used to observe the tumor-inhibition rate of CN and the H22-mice model was used to test the survival time.

Results: The experiment in S180-mice demonstrated that the n-butanol and polysaccharides extracts from CN had obvious effects on tumor inhibition.

[Ultrastructural characteristics of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia-type I].

The study was aimed to investigate the ultranstructural feature and diagnostic criteria of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia-type I (CDA-type I). Nucleated red cells in bone marrow from two patients with CDA-type I were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that the erythropoietic/granulopoietic ratio was markedly increased with megaloblastic morphology in all stage of erythrocyte.
