In this study, octenyl succinic acid sodium starch (OSAS) decorated with chitosan (CS) of different molecular weights (50-150 kDa) and concentrations (10-30 mg/mL) was used to stabilize an emulsion coencapsulating with vitamin A (V) and vitamin D (V). The effect of CS decoration on the thermal and UV stability of the emulsion, as well as the underlying mechanism, was elucidated. The incorporation of CS increased the retention rates of V and V by 11.

Study on gene expression in the liver at various developmental stages of human embryos.

Front Cell Dev Biol

January 2025

Basic Medical Research Centre, Medical School, Nantong University, Nantong, Jiangsu, China.

Background: The normal development of the liver during human embryonic stages is critical for the functionality of the adult liver. Despite this, the essential genes, biological processes, and signal pathways that drive liver development in human embryos remain poorly understood.

Methods: In this study, liver samples were collected from human embryos at progressive developmental stages, ranging from 2-month-old to 7-month-old.

Effect of combination therapy of methylfolate with antidepressants in patients with depressive disorder.

BMC Pharmacol Toxicol

January 2025

Department of Community Medicine, Islamic International Medical College (IIMC), Riphah International University, Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

Objective: To determine the relative effectiveness of combination therapy of antidepressants with low-dose methylfolate versus antidepressant monotherapy in patients with depressive disorder.

Methods: In an open-label clinical trial, forty-four patients with depressive disorder (6A70, 6A71, and 6A72 according to ICD-11) received an evidence-based antidepressant therapy (either escitalopram 10-20 mg, sertraline 50-100 mg, fluoxetine 20-40 mg, duloxetine 30-60 mg, mirtazapine 15-30 mg, venlafaxine 75-150 mg, trazodone 50-100 mg, amitriptyline 25-75 mg, or clomipramine 25-75 mg orally daily for 4 weeks). The experimental group, Group B was additionally given a dose of methylfolate 800 µg daily for four weeks.

Vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxyglutamic acid protein 1 promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma progression through stabilizing oncoprotein KRAS and tyrosine kinase receptor EGFR.

Clin Transl Med

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Systems Medicine for Cancer, Shanghai Cancer Institute, Ren Ji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, P.R. China.

Background: Vitamin K-dependent γ-glutamic acid carboxylation (Gla) proteins are calcium-binding and membrane-associated, participating in coagulation, bone turnover, and cancer biology. The molecular function of transmembrane proline-rich Gla proteins (PRRGs) remains unexplored.

Methods: Analysis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) datasets, including transcription profiles, clinical data, and tissue microarrays, was conducted to evaluate PRRG1 expression and its clinical relevance.

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) plays a critical role in regulating multiple biological processes, including bone metabolism and cell differentiation, by mediating transcriptional activation in response to ligand binding. We have constructed an environmentally fluorescent probe 2 for VDR to facilitate real-time observation of its ligand-dependent conformational changes in living cells. This probe 2 was synthesized by introducing a dansyl fluorophore via an ethynyl group at the C11 position of 1α,25(OH)2D3.
