Aim: Ref fling pathogenesis factors and the role of disorders of gastric secretion in the formation of the syndrome of malnutrition in patients with connective tissue dysplasia patients.
Materials And Methods: In a cross-sectional comparative cohort study 83 patients were included: 59 patients with signs of connective tissue dysplasia (study group) and 24 patients with no signs of connective tissue-dysplasia (control group). In all patients the gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated using a questionnaire GSRS, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, 24-hours pH monitoring, diagnostics H.pylori infection.
Results: in patients with connective tissue dysplasia the higher scores were recorded at body pH 1.2 (1.0; 2.8) and antral stomach 8.9 (6.6; 10.0). According to the morphological study the mucosal damage prevalents as pangastritis (20%), fundic gastritis (4%). Changes of intranagastric pH were associated with high rates of duodeno-gastric reflux in 74.5% patients. The severity of symptoms of dyspepsia (postprandial distress syndrome) and the degree of malnutrition correlated with indicators of intragastric pH in the body and antrum.
Conclusion: The changes revealed intragastric pH may signifcantly alter the digestive conditions in all parts digestive tract contributing desynchronization receipt chyme and enzymes disrupting the normal regulation of pancreatic secretion, promoting the development of maldigestion syndromes, malabsorprion and, consequently aggravate genetically determined disorders trophological status.

Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a common fibroproliferative disorders with no fully effective treatments. The conversion of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts is known to play a critical role in HS formation, making it essential to identify molecules that promote myofibroblast dedifferentiation and to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. In this study, we used comparative transcriptomics and single-cell sequencing to identify key molecules and pathways that mediate fibrosis and myofibroblast transdifferentiation.

Difficult-to-heal wounds management accounts for about 4% of healthcare costs, highlighting the need for innovative solutions. Extracellular signals drive cell proliferation during tissue regeneration, while epigenetic mechanisms regulate stem cell homeostasis, differentiation, and skin repair. Exploring epigenetic regulation in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) holds promise for improving skin injury treatments.

Introduction: The infrapatellar fat pad and synovium are the sites of immune cell infiltration and the origin of proinflammation. Studies have shown that Hoffa's synovitis may be a sign of early-stage osteoarthritis (OA). However, there have been no effective interventions specifically for Hoffa's synovitis.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the foremost causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) identified as a significant risk factor for subsequent ischemic events. Elevated LDL-C contributes to vascular injury and fibrosis by upregulating the expression of connective tissue growth factor and collagen IV, which leads to endothelial cell dysfunction that initiates the process of atherosclerotic diseases. Currently, there is an absence of clear, risk-defined criteria to identify patients who are in greater needs for intensive LDL-C reduction, particularly with PCSK9 inhibitors.

Pelvic floor disorder (PFD) is a common gynecological disorder, and with the ageing of the population, PFD has a serious impact on the physical and mental health of patients and their quality of life. The most prominent of these are pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI), about which the etiology is still unclear, and it is urgent to explore their pathogenesis. Advances in genetics and epigenetics have provided new insights into the pathophysiology of PFD.
