The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of concomitant idiopathic cyclic edema with Grade II and III cellulite. All patients treated for Grade II and III cellulite were evaluated for idiopathic cyclic edema in a retrospective, quantitative and cross-sectional study. The study was carried out at the Godoy Clinic in the period from 2006 to 2010. All patients with body mass indexes > 25, Grade I cellulite and other causes of edema were excluded. The diagnosis of idiopathic cyclic edema was based on a clinical history and fluid retention throughout the day, in particular difficulty in removing rings on waking in the morning which improves later in the day. All patients with cyclic edema were treated with 75 mg aminaphtone three times daily. Statistical analysis considered the frequency of edema. Of the 82 women evaluated with ages between 18 and 58 years old (mean of 34.9 years) 41 (50.0%) were diagnosed with idiopathic cyclic edema. Idiopathic cyclic edema is an aggravating factor for cellulite and is frequently associated with the more advanced stages of the disease. Its control is essential in the treatment of cellulite.

Opioids/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used to alleviate pain; however, they are expensive and can have adverse effects, especially when used over extended periods. Therefore, there is immense demand for innovative, non-addictive analgesics. Here, we report a novel plant-derived central anti-nociceptive agent, Liparis nervosa (Thunb.

Background: The pathogenetic mechanisms of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) still need to be elucidated. The mechanical forces during mechanical ventilation are continually sensed and transmitted by mechanosensitive ion channels (MSICs) in pulmonary endothelial, epithelial, and immune cells. In recent years, MSICs have been shown to be involved in VILI.

Article Synopsis
- Aquaporin 2 (AQP2) is essential for water reabsorption and urine concentration, and its localization in kidney cells is influenced by anti-diuretic hormones, making it a target for specific medications.
- This study looked at how Goreisan (GRS), a traditional Japanese herbal medicine, affects urine production and AQP2 levels in mice, particularly under conditions induced by desmopressin.
- Findings revealed that GRS enhances diuretic effects by temporarily raising calcium levels in cells and decreasing the accumulation of phosphorylated AQP2 at the kidney's luminal surface, thus helping to regulate urine volume.
Antibiotic tolerance due to restriction of cAMP-Crp regulation by mannitol, a non-glucose-family PTS carbon source.

Article Synopsis
- - The study reveals that Enzyme-IIA (EIIA) links glucose sugar uptake with a regulatory system affecting antibiotic resistance, where phosphorylated EIIA increases cAMP-Crp activity, leading to cell death through reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation.
- - Mannitol, unlike other sugars that require EIIA for uptake, has been shown to reduce the effectiveness of antibiotics without changing their minimum inhibitory concentration, indicating it promotes antibiotic tolerance by inhibiting cAMP-Crp action.
- - This research highlights that other non-glucose carbon sources like mannose and sorbitol can also induce similar antibiotic tolerance through a mechanism that lowers ROS activity, posing challenges for effective infection treatment.

Ferroptosis emerges as one of the pivotal types of cell death during fine particulate matter (PM2.5)-induced lung injury. The recently discovered cytosolic DNA sensor, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), triggers the activation of the downstream adaptor protein STING by synthesizing cyclic GMP-AMP, playing vital roles in innate immunity and cell death.
