All living beings on earth have an important mechanism of 24-h periodicity, which controls their physiology, metabolism, and behavior. In humans, 24-h periodicity is regulated by the superchiasmatic nucleus (SCN) through external and environmental cues. Peripheral organs demonstrate circadian rhythms and circadian clock functions, and these are also observed in cultured cell lines. Every cell contains a CLOCK: BMAL1 loop for the generation of circadian rhythms. In this review, we focused on cell autonomous circadian rhythms in immune cells, the inflammatory diseases caused by disruption of circadian rhythms in hormones, and the role of clock genes in inflammatory diseases.

Purpose Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) presents a chronic pain condition affecting muscles and joints. Investigating circadian rhythms' disruption, integral to physiological responses, this study delves into the potential impact of gene polymorphism (rs57875989) on FMS pathogenesis. Methods In this study, we investigated gene polymorphism in 100 FMS patients and an equal number of control individuals.

Circadian rhythm disruption (CRD), stemming from sleep disorders and/or shift work, is a risk factor for reproductive dysfunction. CRD has been reported to disturb nocturnal melatonin signaling, which plays a crucial role in female reproduction as a circadian regulator and an antioxidant. The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis regulates female reproduction, with luteinizing hormone (LH) pulse pattern playing a pivotal role in folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis.

Objective: To investigate the impact of circadian rhythm disruptions on mental health among college students and explore effective interventions for maintaining stable circadian rhythms.
Methods: A comprehensive review of literature was conducted, focusing on sleep patterns, circadian rhythms, and their effects on mental health. Studies were analyzed to identify common factors contributing to circadian misalignment in college students and effective treatments.

Hypertension, a prevalent global health issue, poses significant risks for morbidity and mortality. The interplay between hypertension and comorbidities like diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) underscores the urgency for effective management strategies. Chronotherapy, aligning medication administration with circadian rhythms, emerges as a promising approach to optimize treatment outcomes.

Circadian rhythms are endogenous biological oscillators that synchronize internal physiological processes and behaviors with external environmental changes, sustaining homeostasis and health. Disruption of circadian rhythms leads to numerous diseases, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, cancer, diabetes, and neurological disorders. Despite the potential to restore healthy rhythms in the organism, pharmacological chronotherapy lacks spatial and temporal resolution.
