HSP60 inhibits DF-1 apoptosis through its mitochondrial signal peptide.

HSP60 is implicated in many biological functions and plays a key role in maintaining oxidative stress and preserving mitochondrial integrity. Our previous study showed that HSP60 inhibits apoptosis. In this study, we further investigated the mechanism of apoptosis inhibition by HSP60.

Therapeutic Potential of Bee and Wasp Venom in Anti-Arthritic Treatment: A Review.

Arthritis has a high global prevalence. During the early ancient human era, bee () venom therapy was employed in Egypt, Greece, and China to alleviate ailments such as arthritis and neuralgia. In addition, bee venom has long been used as a traditional medicine for immune-related diseases in Korea.

New insight into oxidative stress and inflammatory responses to kidney stones: Potential therapeutic strategies with natural active ingredients.

Kidney stones, a prevalent urological disorder, are closely associated with oxidative stress (OS) and the inflammatory response. Recent research in the field of kidney stone treatment has indicated the potential of natural active ingredients to modulate OS targets and the inflammatory response in kidney stones. Oxidative stress can occur through various pathways, increasing the risk of stone formation, while the inflammatory response generated during kidney stone formation further exacerbates OS, forming a detrimental cycle.

The Influence of Traffic Lights Presentation of Dementia Risk Screening Information on Older Adults' Motivations for Risk Reduction in Primary Care Settings.

Objective: This study assessed older adults' preferences for how to communicate dementia risk information to maximize motivation for behavior change.

Method: Eighty-nine community-dwelling older adults (aged 61 to 92 years, M=72.93, SD=6.

The relationship between social media use and psychosocial outcomes in older adults: A systematic review.

Objectives: Social isolation and loneliness are prevalent in older adults and are detrimental to physical and mental health. Social media use has been shown to be effective in maintaining social connections and improving older adults' psychosocial outcomes. This study aimed to systematically review and synthesize current research on this topic.

Research trends of the neuroimaging in aphasia: A bibliometric analysis and visualization analysis from 2004 to 2021.

Objectives: To review the current research status of the neuroimaging of aphasia, and reveal the hotspots and frontiers of research in this field.

Methods: We searched articles related to the neuroimaging research on aphasia since Web of Science (WOS) database construction and extracted the data. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used for the country/institution analysis, journal analysis, discipline analysis, burst keyword analysis and cited-reference cluster analysis.

Targeting Reactive Oxygen Species in Atherosclerosis via Chinese Herbal Medicines.

Cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CCVD) has become the leading cause of human mortality with the coming acceleration of global population aging. Atherosclerosis is among the most common pathological changes in CCVDs. It is also a multifactorial disorder; oxidative stress caused by excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has become an important mechanism of atherosclerosis.

[Comparative study with the effect of stromal cell derived factor-1 on osteogenic differentiation of human healthy and inflammatory periodontal ligament stem cells].

Objective: This study aims to compare the osteogenic differentiation capability of stem cells derived from human inflammatory periodontal ligament tissues (iPDLSCs) with those of stem cells derived from healthy periodontal ligament tissues (hPDLSCs). Both types of tissues were induced by stromal cell derived factor (SDF-1) in vitro.

Methods: iPDLSCs and hPDLSCs were primarily cultured by tissue digestion method and purified by limited dilution cloning.
