Objective: Tissue hypoxia is closely associated with arthritis pathogenesis, and extracellular high mobility group box chromosomal protein 1 (HMGB-1) released from injured cells also has a role in arthritis development. This study was thus undertaken to investigate the hypothesis that extracellular HMGB-1 may be a coupling factor between hypoxia and inflammation in arthritis.
Methods: Concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, vascular endothelial growth factor, lactic acid, lactate dehydrogenase, and HMGB-1 were measured in synovial fluid (SF) samples from patients with inflammatory arthropathy (rheumatoid arthritis and pseudogout) and patients with noninflammatory arthropathy (osteoarthritis). The localization of tissue hypoxia and HMGB-1 was also examined in animal models of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). In cell-based experiments, the effects of hypoxia on HMGB-1 release and its associated cellular events (i.e., protein distribution and cell viability) were studied.
Results: In SF samples from patients with HMGB-1-associated inflammatory arthropathy (i.e., samples with HMGB-1 levels >2 SD above the mean level in samples from patients with noninflammatory arthropathy), concentrations of HMGB-1 were significantly correlated with those of lactic acid, a marker of tissue hypoxia. In CIA models in which the pathologic phenotype could be attenuated by HMGB-1 neutralization, colocalization of HMGB-1 with tissue hypoxia in arthritis lesions was also observed. In cell-based experiments, hypoxia induced significantly increased levels of extracellular HMGB-1 by the cellular processes of secretion and/or apoptosis-associated release, which was much more prominent than the protein release in necrotic cell injury potentiated by oxidative stress.
Conclusion: These findings indicate that tissue hypoxia and its resultant extracellular HMGB-1 might play an important role in the development of arthritis.

Background: Tumor-derived exosomes are involved in tumor progression and immune invasion and might function as promising noninvasive approaches for clinical management. However, there are few reports on exosom-based markers for predicting the progression and adjuvant therapy response rate among patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
Methods: The signatures differentially expressed in exosomes from tumor and normal tissues from ccRCC patients were correspondingly deregulated in ccRCC tissues.

Background: The evaluation of mediastinal lymphadenopathy and masses poses a diagnostic challenge because of a myriad of possible etiologic causes; their proximity to numerous vital structures and the difficulty of access for biopsy. Computed tomography is an excellent modality for the initial evaluation of mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs). Tissue diagnosis is of paramount importance to confirm the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy.

Background: Intestinal ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury (II/RI) is a critical condition that results in oxidative stress, inflammation, and damage to multiple organs. Zinc, an essential trace element, offers protective benefits in several tissues during I/R injury, but its effects on intestinal II/RI remain unclear.
Aim: To investigate the effects of zinc pretreatment on II/RI and associated multiorgan damage.

Diseases affecting adipose tissue (AT) function include obesity, lipodystrophy, and lipedema, among others. Both a lack of and excess AT are associated with increased risk for developing diseases including type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and some types of cancer. However, individual risk of developing cardiometabolic and other 'obesity-related' diseases is not entirely determined by fat mass.
