Background: Atherosclerosis (AS) is caused by the endothelium injury associated with oxidative stress. Previous studies have shown that the Phlegm-Eliminating and Stasis- Transforming Decoction (Huayu Qutan Decoction, HYQTD) has mitochondrial protective function. The objective of this research was to explore how HYQTD drug-containing serum (HYQTD-DS) could potentially protect mitochondrial energy production in endothelial cells (ECs) from injury caused by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage in AS through SIRT1/PGC-1α/ Nrf2 pathway.

Background: The small intestine harbors a rich array of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) that interact with structural cells to collectively sustain gut immune homeostasis. Dysregulation of gut immune homeostasis was implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple autoimmune diseases, however, whether this homeostasis is disrupted in a lupus autoimmune background remains unclear.
Methods: We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analyses to elucidate immune and structural milieu in the intestinal epithelium of MRL/Lpr lupus mice (Lpr mice) and MRL/Mpj control mice (Mpj mice).

Background: The unfamiliar atmosphere of the operating room, waiting for anesthesia, and the process of surgery and anesthesia are some of the factors causing fear and anxiety in patients. It leads to physical and psychological pressure on patients. Better understanding of patients' feelings, beliefs, or fears and recording their experiences for optimal care after surgery is helpful.

The objective of this study is to explore how adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) regulate mitochondrial structure and function and the impact of this regulation on slowing cellular senescence. HFF-1 cells were induced by HO to establish a cellular senescence model, and ASCs or Mdivi-1 (mitochondrial fission inhibitor) was added. MTT examined the cell proliferation; flow cytometry detected mitochondrial membrane potential as well as apoptosis and cell cycle; kit measured ATP production; ELISA analyzed the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor alpha-like (TNF-α), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD); Western blotting and qRT-PCR detected the expression of protein and mRNA levels; and β-galactosidase staining observed the degree of cellular senescence.

Skeletal muscle is a critical organ in maintaining homoeostasis against metabolic stress, and histone post-translational modifications are pivotal in those processes. However, the intricate nature of histone methylation in skeletal muscle and its impact on metabolic homoeostasis have yet to be elucidated. Here, we report that mitochondria-rich slow-twitch myofibers are characterized by significantly higher levels of H3K36me2 along with repressed expression of Kdm2a, an enzyme that specifically catalyses H3K36me2 demethylation.
