Aimed to investigate the characteristics of CS-induced membrane in comparison with the PMMA-induced membrane. Cellular components, histological changes, growth factor expressions of IL-6, VEGF, BMP-2, and TGF-β1 in the two induced membranes were compared at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks, respectively. We also compared the histological changes at the bone defects between CS and PMMA groups. The structural characteristics of induced membrane were similar between CS and PMMA. Endochondral ossification took place in the CS-induced membrane at 8 week. Levels of VEGF, BMP-2 and TGF-β1 in CS-induced membrane were insignificantly higher than those in PMMA-induced membrane at different time points. The expression of IL-6 was significantly higher in PMMA-induced membranes at 2nd week. In addition, osteogenic and neovascular activities of induced membranes increased with time and peaked at 6 weeks. CS promoted endochondral ossification at the broken ends of the bone defect than PMMA did. CS-induced membrane has a better capacity of generating VEGF, BMP-2 and TGF-β1.osteogenic and neovascular activities achieve highest level at 6 week. CS may have the potential to replace PMMA as a novel spacer in Masquelet technique.

The wide dissemination of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria poses a significant global health and security concern. As developing new antibiotics is generally costly, fastidious, and time-consuming, there is an urgent need for alternative therapeutic strategies to address the gap in antibiotic discovery void. This study aimed to investigate the activity of colistin (CS) in combination with a natural product, rutin (RT), to combat against Typhimurium ( Tm) in vitro and in vivo.

Bexarotene ameliorated the pulmonary inflammation and M1 polarization of alveolar macrophages induced by cigarette smoke via PPARγ/HO-1.

Background: Alveolar macrophages (AMs) modulate pulmonary inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), contributing to its progression. The PPARγ/RXRα heterodimer influences AM polarization induced by cigarette smoke (CS). Although PPARγ agonists suppress CS-induced M1 macrophage polarization, the impact of RXRα agonists on this process has not been determined.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a prevalent respiratory condition, is characterized by long-term airway inflammation, which can lead to airway remodeling and persistent airflow restriction. Exposure to cigarette smoke is known as a major contributor to COPD development. Research has confirmed that ferroptosis and m6A modification are closely related to various inflammatory-related diseases.

Background: Gonorrhea, induced by Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, stands as a prevalent sexually transmitted inflammatory disease globally. Our earlier research illuminated that N. gonorrhoeae-infected macrophages provoke inflammation by activating the intracellular sensor NACHT, LRR, and PYD domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, a pivotal regulator in inflammatory diseases governing the maturation and secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18.

Background: Ferroptosis plays a key role in the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Whether ginsenoside Rg1 improves cigarette smoke-induced COPD or whether ginsenoside Rg1 improves COPD by inhibiting ferroptosis remains unknown.

Methods: BEAS-2B cells were exposed to cigarette solution (CSE) for 24 h and treated with ginsenoside Rg1, the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1, and the PERK inhibitor GSK.
