Background: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is the third most common type of running-related overuse injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the performance of the Y-balance test (YBT) could predict PF development in male recreational marathon runners.

Methods: One hundred and seventy-two male recreational marathon runners underwent the YBT and were then tracked for PF development during a 3-month period.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a prevalent cause of myocardial injury, involving a series of interconnected pathophysiological processes. However, there is currently no clinical therapy for effectively mitigating myocardial I/R injury. Here, we show that p85α protein levels increase in response to I/R injury through a comprehensive analysis of cardiac proteomics, and confirm this in the I/R-injured murine heart and failing human myocardium.

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) deficiency is the most conspicuous obstacle to limit the cancer immunotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as anti-PD-1 antibody, have achieved great success in clinical practice. However, due to the limitation of response rates of ICIs, some patients fail to benefit from monotherapy.

In recent years, due to advancements in medical conditions and the development of scientific research, the fundamental research of TCM antitumor treatments has progressed from the cellular level to the molecular and genetic levels. Previous studies have demonstrated the significant role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in antitumor therapy through various mechanisms and pathways. Its mechanism of action is closely associated with cancer biology across different stages.

Corrosion is an unavoidable issue that steel encounters during service; however, the generic methods employed for corrosion prevention often need high cost or preparation conditions. In this study, a facile chemical replacement deposition method was proposed to realize an anticorrosion superhydrophobic coating on a X80 steel surface. The growth mechanism of the rough structure and its impact on the wettability of the superhydrophobic coating were analyzed.

The anemia of inflammation (AI) is characterized by the presence of inflammation and abnormal elevation of hepcidin. Accumulating evidence has proved that Rocaglamide (RocA) was involved in inflammation regulation. Nevertheless, the role of RocA in AI, especially in iron metabolism, has not been investigated, and its underlying mechanism remains elusive.

This retrospective study investigates the influence of overweight and obesity status on pulmonary function, airway inflammatory markers, and airway responsiveness in elderly asthma patients. Patients with asthma older than 65 years old who completed a bronchial provocation test (BPT) or bronchial dilation test (BDT) and a fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) test between December 2015 and June 2020 were identified retrospectively for this study. All of the patients were categorized into overweight/obesity and non-obesity groups based on their BMI.

Background And Objective: Endothelial dysfunction has been widely recognized in chronic airway diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma; however, it remains unclear in asthma-COPD overlap (ACO). Neopterin (NP), a metabolite of guanosine triphosphate, is a novel biomarker for identifying the increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events. This study aims to investigate the association of NP with endothelial dysfunction and impaired lung function in COPD, asthma, and ACO patients.

Background: Targeting long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) is a novel and promising approach in cancer therapy. In our previous study, we investigated the effects of ailanthone (aila), the main active compound derived from the stem barks of Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle, on the growth of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.

Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 1332 adult patients were analyzed, revealing that 11.7% had eosinophilic bronchiectasis, which resulted in longer hospital stays (median of 9 days) and higher costs compared to those with normal BEC.
  • * Key findings indicated that higher BEC, poorer lung function (FEV1), and elevated platelet levels were significant factors predicting longer hospital durations, highlighting the condition's impact on healthcare resources.

Objective: Recently, a type 2 inflammation (T2) high endotype in bronchiectasis was identified. The fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and blood eosinophil count (BEC) are recognized as representative biomarkers of T2 inflammation. Herein, we investigate the clinical characteristics of T2-high endotype in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis patients classified by FeNO and BEC.

Mitochondrial perturbations within neurons communicate stress signals to peripheral tissues, coordinating organismal-wide mitochondrial homeostasis for optimal fitness. However, the neuronal control of the systemic stress regulation remains poorly understood. Here, we identified a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), SRZ-75, that couples with Gαq signaling in a pair of chemosensory ADL neurons to drive the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPR) activation in the intestine via the release of neuropeptides in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Background: Abnormal epigenetic alterations influenced by external factors and affecting DNA expression contribute to the development of asthma. However, the role of the nasal epithelium in airway inflammation remains unknown.

Objective: The objective of this study is to identify novel DNA promoter hypermethylation, which suppresses mRNA expression in nasal epithelial of asthma.

Coordination of inter-tissue stress signaling is essential for organismal fitness. Neuronal mitochondrial perturbations activate the mitochondrial unfolded-protein response (UPR) in the intestine via the mitokine Wnt signaling in Caenorhabditis elegans. Here, we found that the protein disulfide isomerase PDI-6 coordinates inter-tissue UPR signaling via regulating the Wnt ligand EGL-20.

RNA modification plays an important role in many diseases. A comprehensive study of tumor microenvironment (TME) characteristics mediated by RNA modification regulators will improve the understanding of TME immune regulation. We selected 26 RNA modification "writers" of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) samples and performed unsupervised clustering analysis to explore RNA modification patterns in LUAD.

Dietary and symbiotic bacteria can exert powerful influence on metazoan lipid metabolism. Recent studies have emerged that microbiota have a role in animal obesity and related health disorders, but the mechanisms by which bacteria influence lipid storage in their host are unknown. To reduce the complexity of the relationship between gut microbiota and the host, () has been chosen as a model organism to study interspecies interaction.

Background: Acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP) is a rare histologic interstitial pneumonia pattern characterized by the intra-alveolar fibrin deposition and organizing pneumonia. Its clinical characteristics are still not well known and there is no consensus on treatment yet.

Case Presentation: We report two female cases in their fifties diagnosed with AFOP confirmed by a second lung biopsy.

The memory of stresses experienced by parents can be passed on to descendants as a forecast of the challenges to come. Here, we discovered that the neuronal mitochondrial perturbation-induced systemic mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPR) in Caenorhabditis elegans can be transmitted to offspring over multiple generations. The transgenerational activation of UPR is mediated by maternal inheritance of elevated levels of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which causes the proteostasis stress within mitochondria.

Background: The lack of knowledge regarding the pathogenesis and host immune response during SARS-CoV-2 infection has limited the development of effective treatments. Thus, we longitudinally investigated the dynamic changes in peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets and parallel changes in cytokine levels in COVID-19 patients with different disease severities to further address disease pathogenesis.

Methods: A total of 67 patients (10 moderate, 38 severe and 19 critical cases) with COVID-19 admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Wuhan from February 8th to April 6th, 2020 were retrospectively studied.
