Complete hydatidiform moles (CHM), a post-conceptual pathologic condition of the placenta, have a high prevalence rate (12/1,000 deliveries) in Kerala, India. This study addresses the expression of IL-1 alpha and beta by immunohistochemistry in relation to persistence and invasion of the disease. Mild to moderate expression of IL-1 alpha in the villous cytotrophoblasts, syncytiotrophoblasts and decidua of the first trimester in the normal placenta and all gestational ages in the molar placenta were observed. IL-1 beta expression was observed in the extravillous trophoblasts, syncytiotrophoblasts and decidua in both the normal and molar placentae and also in the villous cytotrophoblasts and the stromal Haufbaur cells in molar placentae. Strong expression of IL-1 beta in the placenta suggests its involvement in placental physiology supporting earlier reports. Higher expression of IL-1 beta correlated well with the invasive and persistent nature of the tumour and holds potential as a marker of persistence and invasion in CHM.

Telomeres are crucial for cancer progression. Immune signalling in the tumour microenvironment has been shown to be very important in cancer prognosis. However, the mechanisms by which telomeres might affect tumour immune response remain poorly understood.

It also contributes to anticoagulant or anti-inflammatory processes, with its primary clinical use being osteoarthritis treatment. This study presents the results of the valorization of lipids and CS, both extracted from salmon co-products through enzymatic processes.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a very aggressive disease characterized by a heterogeneous tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) constitute the major innate immune population in the TIME where they facilitate crucial regulatory processes that participate in malignant tumor progression. SPP1 + macrophages (SPP1 + Macs) are found in many cancers, but their effects on HNSCC remain unknown.

Noise exposure is one of the most common causes of sensorineural hearing loss. Although many studies considered inflammation to be a major contributor to noise-induced hearing loss, the process of cochlear inflammation is still unclear. Studies have found that activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway results in the accumulation of macrophages in the inner ear plays an important role in hair cell damage.

Objectives: To investigate the inhibitory effect of GSK484, a PAD4 inhibitor, on H3Cit expression following sepsis and its effects for improving sepsis-induced endothelial dysfunction.
Methods: Eighteen C57BL/6 mice were randomized into sham-operated group, sepsis model group and GSK484 treatment group (6), and in the latter two groups, models of sepsis were established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The mice in GSK484 treatment group were given an intraperitoneal injection of GSK484 (4 mg/kg) on the second day following the surgery.
