A study was made of the activity of prostaglandin-synthetase in isolated platelets from the 2 groups of schizophrenic patients: with the predominance of positive (group I) and negative (group II) disorders. It has been demonstrated that the activity of prostaglandin-synthetase in isolated platelets from patients with hallucinatory delirium++ disorders is considerably higher (p less than 0.01) than the activity of prostaglandin-synthetase in isolated platelets from patients with the predominance of negative symptoms. The data obtained once more raise a question of the ++patho-chemical heterogeneity of schizophrenia, which also pertains to prostaglandins. The authors discuss a possibility of the relationship in schizophrenic patients between the regulatory system of prostaglandin synthesis and the central hypothalamohypophyseal mechanism by which homeostasis is regulated.

Background: The regenerative potential of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) has been extensively studied in clinical trials in the past decade. However, despite the promising regenerative properties documented in preclinical studies, for instance in osteoarthritis (OA), the therapeutic translation of these results in patients has not been fully conclusive. One factor contributing to this therapeutic barrier could be the presence of senescent cells in OA joints.

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) in the air harms human health. Most studies on particulate matter's (PM) effects have primarily focused on respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Recently, IL-32θ, one of the IL-32 isoforms, has been demonstrated to modulate cancer development and inflammatory responses.

Wufu Yin (WFY) exhibits significant clinical effectiveness in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) treatment, yet its therapeutic mechanisms are still unclear. This study aimed to explore the active ingredients and potential mechanism of WFY in the treatment of KOA. The network pharmacology-based approach was adopted to investigate the underlying mechanism of WFY in treating KOA.

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear receptor, is expressed in calvaria and bone marrow stromal cells and plays a role in bone homeostasis. However, the mechanism of FXR-activated osteoblast differentiation remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the regulatory mechanism underlying FXR-activated osteoblast differentiation using bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)-induced mouse ST-2 mesenchymal stem cells.
