Objective: To explore the relation among apoptosis of myocardial cell and the expression of TGF-beta1 in VMC.
Methods And Results: In the experiment, Viral myocarditis (VMC) in BALB/C mouse was obtained by inculating herpes simplex virus I type into abdominal cavity. The rate of VMC was 91.67% after 3 - 35 days of virus infection. The apoptosis (78.33%) and expression of TGF-beta1 (81.76%) were found in the myocardium of infected mouse by TUNEL and immunohistochemical method and electron microscope. AI of myocardial cell was 34.14+/-11.56 - 26.14+/-10.2.
Conclusion: Apoptosis and expression of TGF-beta1 may participate in occurrence and development of VMC.

Cryptococcal pneumonia is a severe fungal infection of the respiratory system, predominantly caused by Cryptococcus neoformans. Its incidence is increasing, driven by evolving pathogen dynamics and heightened susceptibility among patient populations. This investigation aimed to assess the combined therapeutic efficacy of Fluconazole and Amphotericin B for cryptococcal pneumonia and to explore the roles of miR-15b and TGF-β1 in modulating treatment response.

Introduction: Although it is believed that chronic inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the central nervous system are mediated by autoimmune Th17 cells, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Recent studies and our research have revealed that Sp3 was blocked in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, it remained unclear why it is silent and how it regulates Th17 cell differentiation in MS.

Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma is a severe form of secondary open angle glaucoma and is associated with activation of the TGF-β pathway by TGF-β1. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA species that are involved in regulation of mRNA expression and translation. To investigate what glaucomatous changes occur in the trabecular meshwork and how these changes may be regulated by miRNAs, we performed a bioinformatics analysis resulting in a miRNA-mRNA interactome.

Glycinin-induced foodborne enteritis is a significant obstacle that hinders the healthy development of the aquatic industry. Glycinin causes growth retardation and intestinal damage in hybrid yellow catfish ( ♀ × ♂), but its immune mechanisms are largely unknown. In the current study, five experimental diets containing 0% (CK), 1.

The inflammatory response of lung tissue and abnormal proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells are involved in the pathogenesis of high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH). Halofuginone (HF), an active ingredient derivative of Chang Shan (Dichroa febrifuga Lour. [Hydrangeaceae]), has antiproliferative, antihypertrophic, antifibrotic, and other effects, but its protective effects on HAPH remains unclear.
