Objective: To study the feasibility of application of rat-tail collagen in the primary culture of rats marginal cells of stria vascularis.
Method: The effect of self-made rat-tail collagen on the primary culture of rats marginal cells of stria vascularis was observed and estimated.
Result: When cochlear stria vascularis fragment was isolated and cultured for 24 h, a few culture cells appeared around the fragments. About 48 to approximately 72 h later, clusters of culture cells could be seen,these cells showed the cobblestone shape under the microscope. The immunohistochemistry and the transmission electron microscopy showed the epithelial origination of these cells.
Conclusion: It is feasible to the primarily culture the rats marginal cells of stria vascularis with self-made rat-tail collagen.

Autophagy, a cellular degradation process involving the formation and clearance of autophagosomes, is mediated by autophagic proteins, such as microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and sequestosome 1 (p62), and modulated by 3-methyladenine (3-MA) as well as chloroquine (CQ). Senescence, characterised by permanent cell cycle arrest, is marked by proteins such as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1 (p21) and tumour protein 53 (p53). This study aims to investigate the relationship between cell senescence and renal function in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and the effect of autophagy on high-glucose-induced cell senescence.

High molecular weight hyaluronan (HMWH) inhibits hyperalgesia induced by diverse pronociceptive inflammatory mediators and their second messengers, in rats of both sexes. However, the hyperalgesia induced by ligands at 3 pattern recognition receptors, lipopolysaccharide (a toll-like receptor 4 agonist), lipoteichoic acid (a toll-like receptor 2/6 agonist), and nigericin (a NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 activator), and oxaliplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy are only attenuated in males. After gonadectomy or intrathecal administration of an antisense to G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor 30 (GPER) mRNA, HMWH produces antihyperalgesia in females.

For the last 38 years, all neuroprotective agents for patients with ischemic stroke have failed in clinical trials. The innate immune system, particularly microglia, is a much-discussed target for neuroprotective agents. Promising results for neuroprotection by inhibition of integrins with drugs such as natalizumab in animal stroke models have not been translated into clinical practice.

Purpose: Cardiac inflammation is a basic pathological process of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Inflammatory response is closely related to pyroptosis, which is a recently identified programmed cell death type. Curcumin (CUR) is a polyphenol extracted from turmeric and has been reported to be crucial in alleviating pyroptosis in DCM.

(E)-1,1,1,2,2,5,5,6,6,6-Decafluoro-3-hexene (HFO-153-10mczz-E) (CASRN 1256353-26-0) is a volatile liquid proposed for use as a new low global-warming potential dielectric fluid in cooling applications. Workplace exposures are expected to be by inhalation exposure. The substance has low acute inhalation toxicity as indicated by a 4-h inhalation LC value of approximately 8000 ppm.
