Objective: To investigate the correlation of disease activity and thyroid indicators ,immunologic markers of system lupus erythematosus (SLE) in SLE with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).
Methods: The clinical data of 63 cases of SLE with HT were collected. According to Systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index 2000 (SLEDAI-2000),we classified the patients into four groups,which were remission group (5 cases),low (19 cases),moderate (12 cases) and high (27 cases) disease activity group. Each patient received the measurement of thyroid function indicators and autoantibodies,SLE immunologic indicators,serum complement (C3,C4),C-reactive protein (CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and routine blood test. The correlation of thyroid indicators,immunologic markers and disease activity were analyzed.
Results: The difference of free triiodothyronine (FT3) level in the four groups was statistically significant (<0.05),and FT3 was negatively correlated with SLE disease activity (=0.007) . There was no significant difference in other thyroid indicators and autoantibodies between the different groups (>0.05). Negative correlation was found between FT3 level and anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA),level of anti-La antibody (SSB) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) or thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb). Thyroglobulin autoantibody (TgAb) was negatively related with C4,and positive correlation between FT3 and C3,FT4 and C4,TgAb and IgA.
Conclusion: The pathogenesis of HT is associated with the disease activity in the patients of SLE with HT.

Background: To determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 6-month tailored non-linear progressive physical activity intervention (PAI) for lymphoma patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: Patients newly diagnosed with lymphoma (non-Hodgkin (NHL) or Hodgkin (HL)) were randomized into the PAI or healthy living intervention (HLI) control (2:1). Feasibility was assessed by examining accrual, adherence, and retention rates.

Utilizing innovative methods to advance the research and development (R&D) of health products and enhance their accessibility has become crucial to achieving universal health coverage, addressing public health emergencies, and promoting population health and wellbeing. However, structural contradictions do exist in the supply and demand of health products in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). With the joint support of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, the Ministry of Education, and the China-ASEAN Center, Peking University established the China-ASEAN Science and Technology Cooperation Center for Public Health in April 2023.

Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) initiates a complex signaling cascade that is crucial for inducing osteoclast differentiation and activation. RANKL-induced signaling has been analyzed in detail, and the involvement of TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK), NF-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), activator protein-1 (AP-1), and molecules that contain an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) has been reported. However, the precise molecular steps that regulate RANKL signaling remain largely unknown.

Background: Dysfunction in podocyte mitophagy has been identified as a contributing factor to the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), and BMAL1 plays an important role in the regulation of mitophagy. Thus, this study intended to examine the impact of BMAL1 on podocyte mitophagy in DN and elucidate its underlying mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: High D-glucose (HG)-treated MPC5 cells was used as a podocyte injury model for investigating the potential roles of BMAL1 in DN.
