Objective: To investigate the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) and its receptor CC chemokine receptor-2 (CCR-2) in coronary atherosclerosis plaques between sidden coronary death (SCD) and non-SCD. Methods The expression levels of MCP-1 and CCR-2 in SCD group, coronary atherosclerosis group (non-SCD), control group (normal coronary artery) were detected by immunohistochemistry.
Results: Positive rates of MCP-1 among the three groups were 78%, 47%, and 0%, respectively, with significant expressing differences between each two groups (P<0.05). Positive rates of CCR-2 among three groups were 72%, 47%, and 0%, respectively, with significant expressing differences between the SCD group and coronary atherosclerosis group as well as between the SCD group and control group (P<0.05), but with no significant expressing difference between coronary atherosclerosis group and control group (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Overexpression of MCP-1 and CCR-2 in coronary atherosclerotic plaques is closely correlated with SCD.

Background: The primary purpose of this study was to demonstrate the preventive effects of imatinib (IMA) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in a mouse model of acute lung injury (ALI) and human umbilical vascular endothelial cells.
Methods: LPS stimulation for 24h induced ALI and cell inflammation. The pathological results of the lungs were evaluated using the wet/dry weight ratio, pulmonary vascular permeability measurements, and myeloperoxidase immunohistochemistry.
Inflammatory proteins and vestibular neuronitis: A Mendelian randomization study.

Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Previous studies have highlighted the correlation between inflammatory responses and vestibular neuritis (VN). The aim of Mendelian randomization was to assess the causal associations between 91 inflammatory proteins and vestibular neuritis comprehensively. By leveraging publicly accessible genetic datasets, we probed whether 91 inflammatory proteins serve as upstream determinants of vestibular neuritis.

Background And Hypothesis: Kidney macrophage infiltration is a histological hallmark of vasculitic lesions and is strongly linked to disease activity in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis (AGN). The precise mechanisms by which kidney macrophages influence local inflammation and long-term damage remain largely unknown.
Methods: Here, we investigate kidney macrophage diversity using single-cell transcriptome analysis of 25 485 freshly retrieved unfrozen, high-quality kidney CD45+ immune cells from five AGN patients during active disease, a lupus nephritis and nephrectomy control.

Donkey milk, rich in essential nutrients, not only can meet the nutritional needs of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) accodding to the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) Clinical Practice Guideline for Nutrition in CKD, but also has strong anti-inflammatory ability. Inflammation is the main driving force of renal fibrosis, directly determining the renal function of CKD. However, the impact of donkey milk on CKD and the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
