Aims: Certain lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are known to have anti-inflammatory effects; however, hiochi bacteria, which are taxonomically classified as LAB and known to spoil a traditional Japanese alcoholic beverage, have not been studied in the same context. The aim of this study is to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of hiochi bacteria strains and the underlying mechanisms.
Methods And Results: We screened 45 strains of hiochi bacteria for anti-inflammatory effects and found that Lentilactobacillus hilgardii H-50 strongly inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 in mouse splenocytes. This inhibition is attributed to its specific surface layer proteins (SLPs), which directly bind to LPS.
Conclusions: The L. hilgardii H-50 strain exerts anti-inflammatory effects through its SLPs.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune joint disease. Its main pathological manifestations are joint cartilage, bone tissue injury, synovial hyperplasia, and chronic inflammation. At present, the pathogenesis of the disease has not been fully defined, and delaying the disease to improve joint function is the existing treatment.

Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation play a pivotal role in pathomechanisms of brain ischemia. Our research aimed to formulate a nanotheranostic system for delivering carnosic acid as a neuroprotective agent with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties to ischemic brain tissue, mimicked by organotypic hippocampal cultures (OHCs) exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). In the first part of this study, the nanocarriers were formulated by encapsulating two types of nanocores (nanoemulsion (AOT) and polymeric (PCL)) containing CA into multilayer shells using the sequential adsorption of charged nanoobjects method.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent cause of dementia. Since there are complex pathophysiological mechanisms behind AD, and there is no effective treatment strategy, it is necessary to introduce novel multi-targeting agents with fewer side effects and higher efficacy. Polydatin (PD) is a naturally occurring resveratrol glucoside employing multiple mechanisms toward neuroprotection.

Background: Topical steroids are widely used in dermatology for their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, but misuse can cause skin thinning and systemic issues. In Ethiopia, where skin conditions are common, understanding how topical steroids are prescribed and used is essential for ensuring their safe and effective use.
Objective: The study aimed to assess topical steroids' prescription and utilization pattern in Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (DCSH) from February 1 to May 30, 2024.
