Objective: To investigate the effects of bisphosphonates on autophagy induced by high-glucose in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).
Methods: BMSCs were isolated and cultured , identified by undergoing osteogenic/chondrogenic/adipogenic differentiation, the concentration of bisphosphonates was determined by CCK-8 method. The cells were cultured in normal glucose (5.6 mmol/L D-glucose), high glucose (30 mmol/L D-glucose), and high glucose with bisphosphonates (30 mmol/L D-glucose+109 mmol/L bisphosphonates). At 48 h, mRNA expression levels of autophagy related genes Beclin1 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) were dected by real-time PCR, protein expression levels of Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ were detected by Western blot, and the autophagy body was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Results: The results showed that BMSCs had the ability of osteogenenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Compared with the control group and high glucose with bisphosphonates group, the mRNA [CM(155mm]expressions of Beclin1 and and protein expressions of Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ in the high glucose group were increased (<0.01 or <0.05). TEM showed that the number of autophagy body in high glucose group was higher than that in normal group and high glucose with bisphosphonates group.
Conclusion: Bisphosphonates may play a role of down-regulating the expression of Beclin1 and LC3Ⅱ induced by high-glucose in BMSCs.

Objectives: This study intended to explore whether the protective effect safflower yellow injection (SYI) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats mediated of the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.
Methods: The I/R model was prepared by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 45 min and then releasing the blood flow for 150 min. 96 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group, I/R group, Hebeishuang group (HBS), SYI high-dose group (I/R + SYI-H), SYI medium-dose group (I/R + SYI-M) and SYI low-dose group (I/R + SYI-L).

Background: Watching short videos is an integral part of the daily lives of young and middle-aged people. Nevertheless, the correlation between the screen time spent watching short videos at bedtime and essential hypertension in young and middle-aged people remains unclear. We aimed to explore the correlation between the screen time spent watching short videos at bedtime and essential hypertension among young and middle-aged people and construct a nomogram prediction model for assessing the probability of developing essential hypertension for these age groups.

Background And Aims: To explore the predictive value of the triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index combined with non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) in coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CHD).
Methods And Results: We retrospectively collected patients who were suspected of CHD and underwent coronary angiography in Yiwu Central Hospital and collected medical history, other serum biochemical evaluation and echocardiography from the enrolled population, Non-HDL-C and TyG indices were calculated, and their correlation with Gensini score was analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of coronary heart disease, and ROC curves were plotted to assess the predictive value of CHD in subjects with single or multiple indices.

Autophagy, a cellular degradation process involving the formation and clearance of autophagosomes, is mediated by autophagic proteins, such as microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and sequestosome 1 (p62), and modulated by 3-methyladenine (3-MA) as well as chloroquine (CQ). Senescence, characterised by permanent cell cycle arrest, is marked by proteins such as cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1 (p21) and tumour protein 53 (p53). This study aims to investigate the relationship between cell senescence and renal function in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and the effect of autophagy on high-glucose-induced cell senescence.

Selenium (Se) intake or selenoprotein overexpression can cause abnormal glucose metabolism and increase the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The purpose of this study is to observe whether glycolysis bypass in the de novo serine synthesis pathway (SSP) is activated under high-Se stress in vitro. Initially, HCT-116, L02, HepG2, and differentiated C2C12 cells were exposed to five selenomethionine (SeMet) concentrations (0.
