[Retracted] NG25, an inhibitor of transforming growth factor‑β‑activated kinase 1, ameliorates neuronal apoptosis in neonatal hypoxic‑ischemic rats.

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editors' attention by a concerned reader that certain of the TUNEL assay data shown in Fig. 4B were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in another article written by different authors at different research institutes that had already been submitted for publication to the journal (which has subsequently been retracted). Owing to the fact that these contentious data had already apparently been submitted for publication prior to the receipt of this paper to , the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal.

Exosomes from IH- Induced bEnd3 Cells Promote OSA Cognitive Impairment via miR-20a-5p/MFN2 Mediated Pyroptosis of HT22 Cells.

Background: OSA can cause cognitive impairment (CI). The aim of this study was to investigate whether miR-20a-5p in exosomes derived from bEnd3 cells with IH mediates intercellular crosstalk and induces CI through hippocampal neuronal cell pyroptosis.

Materials And Methods: BEnd3-derived exosomes were isolated from the normal oxygen control group (NC-EXOS) and IH group (IH-EXOS).

Early intervention with Ustekinumab is associated with higher rates of clinical and endoscopic remission in patients with Crohn's disease.

Background: Early biologic intervention after diagnosis has shown improved clinical and endoscopic outcomes in patients with Crohn's disease (CD), while very little is known about the effectiveness of early versus late administration of Ustekinumab (UST).

Objectives: We aimed to compare early versus late UST use in managing CD and identify potential predictors associated with clinical and endoscopic outcomes.

Design: This was a retrospective observational study.

Custom-Made Ce-Mn Bimetallic Nanozyme for the Treatment of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress and Modulating Macrophage M1/M2 Polarization.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD)-induced lower back pain (LBP) brings heavy burden worldwide. In the degenerated intervertebral disc, there is an increase in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the infiltration of M1 macrophages, which leads to abnormal local inflammatory microenvironment and exacerbates IDD. In this study, we developed a novel injectable polyethylene glycol (PEG)-capped cerium ion-manganese ion (Ce-Mn) bimetallic nanozyme (CeMn-PEG) with strong ROS scavenging and M2-type macrophage polarizing abilities to efficiently alleviate IDD.

Insight into the correlation of taste substances and salty-umami taste from hydrolysates prepared using different proteases.

To prepare dual-functional seasoning ingredients with a salty-umami taste, five proteases were applied to hydrolyze proteins, preparing enzymatic hydrolysates. Their taste compounds along with the salty-umami taste, were investigated. The results revealed that enzymatic hydrolysis facilitated the release of taste compounds from .
