C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein-9 (CTRP9) is linked to diverse pathological conditions via the effects on cell apoptosis, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress. However, its functional relevance in ischemic brain injury is not well determined. The present work aimed to evaluate the role of CTRP9 in ischemia/reperfusion-associated neuronal injury using an in vitro model. The cultured cortical neurons were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) to simulate ischemia/reperfusion in vitro. CTRP9 level was lowered in cultured neurons exposed to OGD/R. Neurons with overexpressed CTRP9 were resistant to OGD/R-elicited injuries, including neuronal apoptosis, oxidative stress, and pro-inflammatory response. Mechanism research revealed that CTRP9 could boost the activation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) pathway associated with modulation of the Akt-glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) axis. CTRP9 regulated the transduction of the Akt-GSK-3β-Nrf2 cascade via adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1). Restraining Nrf2 could diminish CTRP9-mediated neuroprotective effects in OGD/R-injured neurons. Altogether, these results confirmed that CTRP9 exerts a protective effect on OGD/R-injured neurons by modulating Akt-GSK-3β-Nrf2 cascade via AdipoR1. This work suggests a possible link between CTRP9 and ischemic brain injury.

Methodological description of knowledge translation: Implementation of clinical practice guidelines into clinical practice.

This methodological paper explores the intricacies of implementing evidence-based medicine in the health care sector specifically focusing on the clinical practice guideline (CPG) published by the American Physical Therapy Association's Academy of Oncologic Physical Therapy for diagnosing upper quadrant lymphedema secondary to cancer (diagnosis CPG). Although CPGs are widely available, their implementation into clinical practice remains inconsistent, slow, and complex. To address this challenge, this paper employs the Knowledge-to-Action framework, offering a detailed description of the seven stages through the lens of an in-progress case study on the implementation of the diagnosis CPG.

Background: Adolescents (10-19 years old) have poor outcomes across the prevention-to-treatment HIV care continuum, leading to significant mortality and morbidity. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions that documented HIV outcomes among adolescents in HIV high-burden countries.

Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for studies published between January 2015 and September 2024, assessing at least one HIV outcome along the prevention-to-care cascade, including PrEP uptake, HIV testing, awareness of HIV infections, ARV adherence, retention, and virological suppression.

Neuroprotective role of sialic-acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-11 in humanized transgenic mice.

Brain aging is a chronic process linked to inflammation, microglial activation, and oxidative damage, which can ultimately lead to neuronal loss. Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-11 (SIGLEC-11) is a human lineage-specific microglial cell surface receptor that recognizes -2-8-linked oligo-/polysialylated glycomolecules with inhibitory effects on the microglial inflammatory pathways. Recently, the gene locus was prioritized as a top tier microglial gene with potential causality to Alzheimer's disease, although its role in inflammation and neurodegeneration remains poorly understood.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and RNA N⁶-methyladenosine (m A) have been linked to leukemia drug resistance. However, whether and how lncRNAs and m A coordinately regulate resistance remain elusive. Here, we show that many differentially expressed lncRNAs enrich m A, and more lncRNAs tend to have higher m A content in CML cells resistant to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Background Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women with significant global disparities in disease burden. In lower-resource settings, where routine screening is uncommon, delays in diagnosis and treatment contribute to morbidity and mortality. Understanding care delays may inform strategies to decrease time to treatment, improving patient outcomes.
