The aim of the present study was to investigate the oxidative status of lymphocytes from children (n=7) and adults (n=18) with Down's syndrome (DS). The basal oxidative condition, the vulnerability to in vitro hydrogen peroxide exposure, and the repair capacity were measured by means of the damage-specific alkaline comet assay. Significantly and age-independently elevated numbers of single strand breaks and oxidized bases (pyrimidines and purines) were found in the nuclear DNA of the lymphocytes in the DS group in the basal condition. These results may support the role of an increased level of endogenous oxidative stress in DS and are similar to those previously demonstrated in Alzheimer's disease. In the in vitro oxidative stress-induced state, a markedly higher extent of DNA damage was observed in DS children as compared with age- and gender-matched healthy controls, suggesting that young trisomic lymphocytes are more sensitive to oxidative stress than normal ones. However, the repair ability itself was not found to be deteriorated in either DS children or DS adults.

Synephrine, a protoalkaloid found in Citrus aurantium (CA) peels, exerts lipolytic, anti-inflammatory, and vasoconstrictive effects; however, its antioxidant activity remains unclear. In this study, electron spin resonance spectroscopy revealed that synephrine scavenged both hydroxyl and superoxide anion radicals. Several external stimuli, such as HO, X-rays, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation, cause stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS).

Aim: To test the effect of autophagy on inflammatory damage resulting from oxidative stress in adult retinal pigment epithelial cell line (ARPE-19).
Methods: ARPE-19 cells were pretreated with 200 and 600 µmol/L hydrogen peroxide (HO) at various time intervals. The changes of cell morphology, cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, autophagic activity, and the inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-6, and TGFβ) were measured at baseline and after treatment with autophagy inducer rapamycin (Rapa) and suppressor wortmannin (Wort) or shATG5.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative disease that lacks effective therapy. Oxidative stress is one of the major factors contributing to OA; however, treatments targeting oxidative stress are still lacking. In the current study, we established an oxidative stress-induced cell death model in chondrocytes and screened drugs that may suppress oxidative stress-induced cell death.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifaceted ocular surface disorder that significantly impacts patients' daily lives and imposes a substantial economic burden on society. Oxidative stress, induced by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is a critical factor perpetuating the inflammatory cycle in DED. Effectively scavenging ROS is essential to impede the progression of DED.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease, and neuroprotection is an important approach to improving AD outcomes. Rhizoma of Anemarrhena asphodeloides (RAA) is a commonly used Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with demonstrated neuroprotective effects, but its anti-AD mechanism requires further exploration.
Aim Of The Study: To elucidate the neuroprotective mechanism of RAA on TMT-induced AD mice.
