Objective: To investigate the neuro-protective effects of dexmedetomidine (dex) on I/R-induced spinal injury and potential mechanisms.
Methods: sprague-Dawley rats in the treatment group received intraperitoneal injections of 25 mg/kg dexmedetomidine, MC stabilizer cromolyn (100 mg/kg), MCs stimuliser compound 48/80 (80 mg/kg), PBS at 24 h befor IR. Underwent 5 minutes of aortic occlusion via median sternotomy, functional scores were recorded at 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours after reperfusion. Additionally, 3 mice underwent sham surgery with sternotomy and dissection of the aorta and subclavian artery with no occlusion. Spinal cords were examined for protein kinase B (AKT), CREB, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) following treatment alone or ischemia-reperfusion surgery. Collected the serum to observe the expression of pro-inflammation cytokines (TNF-α, INF-γ and IL-1β) and anti-inflammation cytokines (TGF-β, IL-10 and IL-6). Then the MCs were harvested to test the expression surface molecular of FcεR and MCs' degranulation.
Results: Pretreated the rats with dexmedetomidine has higher neurologic function at all time points after I/R injury. We collected the serum of rats then detected the pro-inflammation cytokines TNF-α, INF-γ and IL-1β levels and anti-inflammation cytokinses TGF-β, IL-10 and IL-6 levels, found that the pro-inflammation cytokines of dexmedetomidine group was decreased whereas the anti-inflammation cytokinses was increased. At the same time the protect protein of AKT, CREB and mRNA BDNF were increased. They had the same results with cromolyn group, and opposite with the compound 48/80 group. We pretreated MCs with dexmedetomidine in vitro, and found that the activity surface molecular of MCs was down-regulation, and MCs degranulation was decreased.
Conclusion: We thus demonstrate a possible mechanism by which dexmedetomidine alleviates spinal cord I/R injury through blocking the MCs degranulation.

Background: Psoriasis is recognized as a systemic disease for its accompanying comorbidities, among which psychological disorders present a high incidence rate and affect patients' life quality. Interleukin (IL)-17A is the central pathological factor in the pathogenesis and development of psoriasis.
Objective: To clarify if psoriasis-induced systemic IL-17A increase can mediate the neuronal inflammation and result in depressive-like symptoms.

Purpose: Exosomes from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) can prevent the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) by promoting tooth socket wound healing; however, the exact mechanism remains to be clarified. In this study, our aim was to explore the mechanisms of exosomes derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) in preventing MRONJ by focusing on macrophage M1 polarization and pyroptosis.
Methods: The MRONJ model was established by the administration of zoledronate and tooth extraction.

Objectives: Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) is a member of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family that detects potentially danger signals characterized by the appearance of N-formylated peptides which originate from either bacteria or host mitochondria during organ injury, including sepsis. Mitochondrial-encoded NADH dehydrogenase 6 (MT-ND6) and Annexin A1 (ANXA1), as mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs) agonist and endogenous agonist of FPR1 respectively, interact with FPR1 regulating polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) function and inflammatory response during sepsis. However, there is no direct evidence of MT-ND6 or ANXA1 in the circulation of patients with sepsis and their potential role in clinical significance, including diagnosis and mortality prediction during sepsis.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the health benefits of Ramadan fasting (RFM) in both obese and non-obese rats, focusing on its effects on longevity and metabolic biomarkers.
- Rats were divided into groups fed standard or high-fat diets over 12 weeks, with some undergoing fasting and exercise, while others were given glucose.
- Results showed that RFM led to lower levels of certain pro-inflammatory and metabolic markers, improved anti-inflammatory and antioxidant levels, and boosted gene expression linked to longevity, indicating that RFM has potential health advantages, especially for those on a high-fat diet.
