Investigating Majhool date (Phoenix dactylifera) consumption effects on fasting blood glucose in animals and humans.

Objectives: Majhool date (), renowned for its premium taste and texture, is extensively consumed in the Islamic world, particularly during Ramadan. Despite its popularity, concerns persist regarding its potential to induce diabetes in non-patients. This study aims to explore the diabetogenic effects of prolonged Majhool date () consumption, the widely used fruit in the Islamic world, through animal experiments and human clinical data.

A Rare Case of Nasal Sarcoma with BCOR Internal Tandem Duplication Showing Complete Pathologic Response to the VDC-IE Chemotherapy Protocol.

Sarcoma with genetic alteration is an exceptionally rare and emerging subtype of sarcoma. It is categorized into two types: -related gene fusions such as sarcomas and other -rearranged sarcoma and sarcomas with internal tandem duplication of genes such as infantile undifferentiated round cell sarcomas and primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumors of infancy. sarcomas predominantly arise in bone rather than soft tissue and exhibit a higher occurrence in children and adolescent males, whereas sarcomas with internal tandem duplication show a wider age range but usually arise in the first year of life.

knockout mice exhibit similar outcomes to malaria infection despite altered hematopoietic responses.

The Cytokine-inducible Src homology 2 domain-containing (CISH) protein is a negative feedback regulator induced by cytokines that play key roles in immunity and erythropoiesis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human gene have been associated with increased susceptibility to severe malaria disease. To directly assess how CISH might influence outcomes in the BALB/c model of malaria anemia, CISH knockout () mice on this background were infected with and their hematopoietic responses, cytokine production and ability to succumb to severe malaria disease evaluated.

Role of Cytokine-Inducible SH2 Domain-Containing (CISH) Protein in the Regulation of Erythropoiesis.

The cytokine-inducible SH2 domain-containing (CISH) protein was the first member of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family of negative feedback regulators discovered, being identified in vitro as an inducible inhibitor of erythropoietin (EPO) signaling. However, understanding of the physiological role played by CISH in erythropoiesis has remained limited. To directly assess the function of CISH in this context, mice deficient in CISH were characterized with respect to developmental, steady-state, and EPO-induced erythropoiesis.

The Role of Cytokine-Inducible SH2 Domain-Containing Protein (CISH) in the Regulation of Basal and Cytokine-Mediated Myelopoiesis.

Cytokine-inducible SH2 domain-containing protein (CISH) is a member of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family of negative feedback regulators shown to play crucial roles in lymphoid cell development and function as well as appetite regulation. It has also been implicated in the control of signaling downstream of the receptors for the cytokines granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in myeloid cells. To investigate the physiological role of CISH in myelopoiesis, mice deficient in CISH were analyzed basally and in response to administration of these cytokines.
