Objective: The clinical course of transitional cell carcinoma is highly variable. The determination of sensitive prognostic factors for transitional cell carcinoma is very important. Therefore e-cadherin and p53 immunohistochemical activity can be used with other prognostic factors.

Methods: The study comprised with 61 (4 women and 57 men) selected patients who had transitional cell carcinoma. Paraffin embedded tissue sections were investigated immunohistochemically for e-cadherin normal staining and p53 over expression.

Results: It is seen that when grade and stages of illness increased normal staining of e-cadherin decreased and p53 over expressed. Abnormal e-cadherin was significantly associated with disease recurrence (P < 0.001), disease progression (P < 0.001) and bladder specific survival. p53 differentiation was not significant for disease recurrence (P > 0.05) inverse to prognosis of illness. Transurethral resectomy and BCG treatments were not effected e-cadherin and p53 activity within the groups statistically.

Conclusion: Significant differences can be helpful to investigate patients more detailed pathologically. These expression rates in different type of transitional cell carcinoma patients may represent a biologically more aggressive cancer, requiring early definitive therapy. This hypothesis should be evaluated in larger studies and prospective clinical trials.

Due to its anatomical and physiological similarities to the human eye, the porcine eye serves as a robust model for biomedical research and ocular toxicity assessment. An air/liquid corneal culture system using porcine eyes was developed, and ex vivo epithelial wound healing was utilized as a critical parameter for these studies. Fresh pig corneas were processed for organ culture, with or without epithelial wounding.

FoxO1 promotes high glucose-induced inflammation and cataract formation via JAK1/STAT1.

Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol

January 2025

National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, 270 Xueyuan West Road, Wenzhou, 325027, Zhejiang, China.

Purpose: To investigate whether in diabetic cataract (DC), FoxO1 regulates high glucose (HG)-induced activation of NLRC4/IL-6 inflammatory mediators in human lens epithelial cells (SRA01/04) via the JAK1/STAT1 pathway, leading to cataract formation.

Methods: Expression levels of FoxO1, inflammatory factor IL-6 and inflammatory vesicle NLRC4 were examined in SRA01/04 under high glucose (HG) stress at 25-150 mM. Rat lenses were also cultured using HG medium with or without the addition of the FoxO1 inhibitor AS1842856 and the JAK1 agonist RO8191.

Causal associations between immune cells and psychiatric disorders: a bidirectional mendelian randomization analysis.

Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol

Graduate School of PLA Medical College, Chinese PLA General Hospital and PLA Medical College, 28 Fu Xing Road, Beijing, 100083, China.

Extensive researches illuminate a potential interplay between immune traits and psychiatric disorders. However, whether there is the causal relationship between the two remains an unresolved question. We conducted a two-sample bidirectional mendelian randomization by utilizing summary data of 731 immune cell traits from genome-wide association studies (GCST90001391-GCST90002121)) and 11 psychiatric disorders including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety disorder, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), bipolar disorder (BIP), anorexia nervosa (AN), major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Tourette syndrome (TS), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia (SCZ), and substance use disorders (cannabis) (SUD) from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC).
