Mouse-hamster somatic cell hybrids containing a variable number of mouse chromosomes have been used in experiments to determine which mouse chromosome carries the immunoglobulin kappa light chain genes. It has been shown by nucleic acid hybridization that the kappa constant gene and the genes for at least one variable region subgroup are on mouse chromosome 6. This somatic cell genetic mapping procedure appears to be general and can be applied to any expressed or silent gene for which an appropriate nucleic acid probe exists.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease with a complex aetiology, which includes inflammation, cellular growth dysregulation and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of a small-molecule compound, 2-amino-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4H-benzo[h]chromene-3-carbonitrile (CN7:1h) in modulating these critical biochemical pathways in OA. Cellular models and rat models of OA were used to explore the impact of CN7:1h on the nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling pathways.

Background/purpose: Membrane-free stem cell components (MFSCCs) have been developed by removing cell membranes with antigens to overcome the limitations associated with cell-based therapies and isolate effective peptides. MFSCCs have been reported to have effects on oral infection sites. Chronic inflammatory diseases cause excessive bone resorption.

Chronic Stress Mediates Inflammatory Cytokines Alterations and Its Role in Tumorigenesis.

J Inflamm Res

January 2025

Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, People's Republic of China.

Introduction: Prolonged psychological stress is closely associated with cancer due to its role in promoting the release of stress hormones through the sustained activation of the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary system. These hormones interact with receptors on inflammatory cells, leading to the activation of key signaling pathways, including the transcription factors signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT-3) and kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB). These factors drive the production of pro-inflammatory substances, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), which can influence the initiation and progression of cancer.

Near-infrared light reflection for the early detection of proximal caries in posterior teeth: an in vivo study.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Center for Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Stomatology, Affiliated People's Hospital, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of near-infrared light reflection for detecting different depths of proximal caries in posterior teeth and to compare it with commonly used clinical oral examinations and bitewing radiography images.

Methods: Twenty-six patients with a total of 516 proximal surfaces were included in this study. The ground truth of the proximal caries was determined through a consensus reached by two experienced dentists after an intraoral examination assisted by bitewing radiographs.

CRC (Colorectal cancer) ranks among the most prevalent tumors in humans and remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Numerous studies have highlighted the connection between inflammasome over-activation and the initiation and progression of CRC. The activation of the NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3) inflammasome is dependent on the nuclear NF-kβ (Nuclear Factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) pathway, leading to the maturation and release of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1ß (Interleukin 1 beta) and IL-18 (Interleukin 18).
