  • Linezolid, a commonly used antibiotic, can cause rare side effects like teeth discoloration, which isn't widely known compared to more familiar reactions like nausea or bone marrow suppression.
  • A case study reveals that a child treated with linezolid for bacterial meningitis developed brownish teeth discoloration, which was temporary and resolved after stopping the medication.
  • This instance highlights the need for awareness of lesser-known side effects of medications and suggests that teeth discoloration can occur earlier than previously documented.

Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease involving many systems and organs, and individuals with SLE exhibit unique cancer risk characteristics. The significance of the basement membrane (BM) in the occurrence and progression of human autoimmune diseases and tumors has been established through research. However, the roles of BM-related genes and their protein expression mechanisms in the pathogenesis of SLE and pan-cancer development has not been elucidated.

The elevated homocysteine level is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis, which is characterized as a chronic inflammatory disease associated with oxidative stress. We have confirmed that homocysteine can stimulate the production of C-reactive protein (CRP) in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). In the present study, we investigated the role of probucol in homocysteine-induced CRP expression in cultured RASMCs and high-methionine-diet-induced hyperhomocysteinemic rats.

Inflammation plays a pivotal role throughout the formation and progression of atherosclerosis. As the most representative inflammatory marker, C-reactive protein (CRP) directly participates in the initiation and development of atherosclerosis. The elevated homocysteine (Hcy) level in plasma is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis.
