Background/purpose: 5' Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is known as an enzyme that maintains intracellular homeostasis and has various biological activity. The purpose of this study is evaluation effect of AMPK activation on implant prognosis.
Materials & Methods: MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells were cultured on titanium using a 24-well plate. The experimental group was divided into the following 3 groups: (1) the normal culture group (control group), (2) the osteogenic induction group, and (3) the osteogenic induction + AMPK activation group. The cell counts were measured; real-time PCR was used to assess the expression of ALP and Osterix as osteogenic related genes at Day 0,7,14 and 21 after experiments. Additionally, ALP activity and calcification were assessed.
Results: The results of the real-time PCR assessments revealed that the expression of ALP, which is a marker for the initial stages of calcification, was significantly increased by AMPK activation compared to the normal culture or osteogenic induction. A significant increase was also observed in the expression of Osterix, which is a marker for the later stages of calcification. Because significant increases were observed in ALP activity and calcification potential, this suggested that AMPK activation could elicit an increase in osteoblast calcification potential.
Conclusion: AMPK activation promotes implant peripheral osteoblast differentiation and maturation and enhances calcification. Our results suggest that AMPK activation may help to maintain implant stability.

Fatty Acid Esterification of Octacosanol Attenuates Triglyceride and Cholesterol Synthesis in Mice.

This study aimed to evaluate the cholesterol-regulatory effects of lauric-acid-esterified octacosanol (LEO) and oleic-acid-esterified octacosanol (OEO) compared to their unmodified counterparts and to investigate the underlying mechanisms by partially substituting the fat content in obese C57BL/6J mice induced with a high-fat diet (HFD). Rice bran oil and coconut oil were also investigated as they are rich in oleic acid and lauric acid, respectively. The results showed that all supplemented groups significantly inhibited weight gain induced by the HFD, but the groups treated with esterified octacosanol exhibited a more pronounced effect.

This study is the first to explore the effects of the novel yellow pigment monascinol (Msol) from red mold rice (RMR) on reducing body fat and to compare its effects with those of monascin (MS) and ankaflavin (AK). In a high-fat diet-induced rat model, different doses of RMR fermented rice (RL, RM, RH) and purified Msol, MS, and AK were administered over an 8-week period. The results showed that all treatment groups significantly reduced body weight and fat mass.

Myotonic Dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is a multisystem disease affecting many tissues, including skeletal muscle, heart, and brain. DM2 is caused by unstable expansion of CCTG repeats in an intron 1 of a gene coding for cellular nuclear binding protein (CNBP). The expanded CCTG repeats cause DM2 pathology due to the accumulation of RNA CCUG repeats, which affect RNA processing in patients' cells.

This study investigated the ameliorative effects of Yinchen lipid-lowering tea (YCLLT) on Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the specific mechanism involved was also studied. We modeled hepatocellular steatosis with HepG2 cells and intervened with different concentrations of YCLLT-containing serum. Lipid deposition was assessed by oil red O staining and AdipoR1 expression was analyzed by Western blot.

The study explored the pathological mechanism of doxorubicin chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity and the intervention methods of traditional Chinese medicine. BALB/c mice were selected to establish tumor-bearing mouse models by orthotopic injection of 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells. After randomization, the mice were treated with doxorubicin chemotherapy or doxorubicin chemotherapy + Kaixin San(KXS).
