11beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11HSD1) regulates local glucocorticoid activity and plays an important role in various diseases. Here, we studied whether arthritis modulates 11HSD1, what is the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines in this process and whether altered local metabolism of glucocorticoids may contribute to the feedback regulation of inflammation. Adjuvant arthritis increased synovial 11HSD1 mRNA and 11-reductase activity but treatments with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) antagonists etanercept and anakinra reduced 11HSD1 upregulation. Treatment with carbenoxolone, an 11HSD inhibitor, increased expression of TNF-alpha, cyclooxygenase 2, and osteopontin mRNA without any changes in the plasma levels of corticosterone. Similar changes were observed when arthritic rats were treated with RU486, an antagonist of GR. This study suggests that arthritis upregulates synovial 11HSD1, this upregulation is controlled by TNF-alpha and IL-1beta and that the increased supply of local corticosterone might contribute to feedback regulation of inflammation.

Liaoning cashmere goat is an outstanding breed in China primarily for cashmere production, with strict controls against genetic outflow. Melatonin(MT) is a key factor affecting cashmere growth, and preliminary transcriptome sequencing indicated that melatonin upregulates the expression of the PIP5K1A gene in skin fibroblasts. To predict the physicochemical properties of PIP5K1A in Liaoning cashmere goats, ascertain the tissue localization of PIP5K1A in their skin, and explore the role and mechanism of PIP5K1A in the proliferation of skin fibroblasts.

The microbiota inhabiting the surface of fish mucosal tissue play important roles in the nutrition, metabolism and immune system of their host. However, most investigations on microbial symbionts have focused on the fish gut, but the microbiota associated with external mucosal tissues (such as the skin and gill) is poorly understood. This study characterised the traits and dynamic of microbial communities associated with the skin, gill and gut of large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) culturing with net enclosures or pens at different sampling times (with seasonal transition).

Background: As a popularly used analgesic adjuvant, intravenous (IV) lidocaine could reduce the consumption of propofol in painless gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. However, whether IV lidocaine could affect the incidence of oxygen-desaturation episodes (ODE) during painless GI endoscopy is still unknown. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that IV lidocaine could decrease the incidence of propofol-induced ODE and involuntary movements in patients during GI endoscopy.

Background: Flavonoids are naturally occurring dietary phytochemicals with significant antioxidant effects aside from several health benefits. People often consume them in combination with other food components. Compiling data establishes a link between bioactive flavonoids and prevention of several diseases in animal models, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, gut dysbiosis, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
