It is well recognized that a product of obese (ob) locus and body weight control hormone, leptin, acts on both short-term satiety for meal-induced termination of food intake (gastric phase) and long-term satiety for energy expenditure via the hypothalamus. The considerable sources of leptin are chief cells for gastric phase and adipocytes for the long-term satiety. The objective of this study was to demonstrate if CCK enhances leptin synthesis and secretion in isolated canine gastric chief cells. Confocal immunofluorescence studies showed that the CCK-A receptor and leptin were colocalized in the endoplasm. Western blotting demonstrated that canine chief cells expressed the leptin peptide and its protein level was enhanced by CCK treatment. An ELISA further showed that CCK dose-dependently secreted leptin from isolated canine chief cells. This was reproduced by the high-affinity CCK-A receptor agonist, CCK-OPE. These results indicate that canine chief cells synthesize and secrete leptin in response to CCK via the high-affinity state of the CCK-A receptor.

Medullary thyroid carcinoma is a neuroendocrine tumor derived from thyroid C-cells. It is a rare aggressive tumor, known to metastasize to lymph nodes, liver, bones, and lungs. We report a case of a young patient with a family history of breast cancer, who developed breast metastases six months post-treatment for medullary thyroid carcinoma.

Neuromodulation therapy comprises a range of non-destructive and adjustable methods for modulating neural activity using electrical stimulations, chemical agents, or mechanical interventions. Here, we discuss how electrophysiological brain recording and imaging at multiple scales, from cells to large-scale brain networks, contribute to defining the target location and stimulation parameters of neuromodulation, with an emphasis on deep brain stimulation (DBS).

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The Huangqi-Danshen decoction (HDD) is composed of Huangqi (Astragali Radix) and Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) and has been shown to alleviate renal fibrosis. However, the potential therapeutic mechanisms and effective components of HDD remain unclear.
Aim Of The Study: Both lipid metabolism and cGAS/STING signaling play vital roles in the development and progression of renal fibrosis.

Background: Prognostic biomarkers at multiple sclerosis (MS) onset to predict disease severity may help guide initial therapy selection for people with MS. Over 20 disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) of varying levels of risk and efficacy now exist. The ability to predict MS severity would help to identify those patients at higher risk where a highly effective, but potentially risky, therapy would be optimal.
