Recombinant human erythropoietin was injected intraperitoneally in a total dose of 900 U/kg to rats with experimental chronic renal failure. Suspension of lymphocytes from animals with chronic renal failure was used in vitro, erythropoietin was used in concentrations of 30, 15, 7.5, 3.75, and 1.88 U/liter. Intact cells (Annexin-5-FITC(-)/7-AAD(-)), cells with early signs of apoptosis (Annexin-5-FITC(+)/7-AAD(-)), cells with late signs of apoptosis and partially necrotic cells (Annexin-5-FITC(+)/7-AAD(+)), as well as cells with early signs of necrosis (Annexin-5-FITC(-)/7-AAD(+)) were differentiated by fl ow cytometry. It was found that the number of peripheral blood lymphocytes with early and late signs of apoptosis and necrosis increased in chronic renal failure. Erythropoietin at a total dose of 900 U/kg reduced the number of blood lymphocytes with signs of apoptosis and necrosis and thus elevated the number of intact lymphocytes. Erythropoietin in concentrations ranging from 1.88 to 30.0 U/liter dose dependently lowered the number of lymphocytes with early signs of apoptosis and the number of lymphocytes with the signs of late apoptosis and necrosis in vitro.

Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is a common malignant oral cancer characterized by substantial invasion, a high rate of lymph node and distant metastasis, and a high recurrence rate. This study aims to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of TSCC patients by exploring the related mechanisms that affect the migration and invasion of TSCC and inhibit the migration and spread of cancer cells. The results indicated the rate of high expression of IL-17 in cancer tissues was greater than that in tongue tissues, and the expression of IL-17 was related to the TNM stage.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is a prevalent urological malignancy, imposing substantial burdens on both patients and society. In our study, we used bioinformatics methods to select four putative target genes associated with EMT and prognosis and developed a nomogram model which could accurately predicting 5-year patient survival rates. We further analyzed proteome and single-cell data and selected PLCG2 and TMEM38A for the following experiments.

In the early stages, chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be asymptomatic, marking diagnosis difficult. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic role and potential regulatory mechanisms of nucleolar protein 14 (NOP14) -antisense RNA 1 (AS1) in patients with CKD. Herein, 68 patients with CKD, 65 patients with CKD undergoing peridialysis, and 80 healthy adults were included.

The present study aims to better understand the nature of currently circulating GPV strains and their pathological impact on the immune system during natural outbreaks among different duck breeds in Egypt. For this purpose, 99 ducks (25 flocks) of different breeds, aged 14-75 days, were clinically examined, and 75 tissue pools from the thymus, bursa of Fabricius, and spleen were submitted for virus detection and identification. Clinical and postmortem findings were suggestive of GPV infection.

The two obstacles for treating glioma are the skull and the blood brain-barrier (BBB), the first of which forms a physical shield that increases the difficulties of traditional surgery or radiotherapy, while the latter prevents antitumor drugs reaching tumor sites. To conquer these issues, we take advantage of the high penetrating ability of sonodynamic therapy (SDT), combined with a novel nanocomplex that can easily pass the BBB. Through ultrasonic polymerization, the amphiphilic peptides (CGRRGDS) were self-assembled as a spherical shell encapsulating a sonosensitizer Rose Bengal (RB) and a plant-derived compound, sulforaphane (SFN), to form the nanocomplex SFN@RB@SPM.
