Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in joints could lead to gradual degeneration of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and apoptosis of chondrocytes, contributing to the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis (OA). Mimicking natural enzymes, polydopamine (PDA)-based nanozymes showed great potential in treating various inflammatory diseases. In this work, PDA loaded with ultra-small palladium (PDA-Pd) nanoparticles (NPs) was employed to scavenge ROS for OA therapy. As a result, PDA-Pd effectively declined the intracellular ROS levels and exhibited efficient antioxidative and anti-inflammatory capacity with good biocompatibility in IL-1β stimulated chondrocytes. Significantly, assisted with near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, its therapeutic effect was further enhanced. Further, NIR-stimulated PDA-Pd suppressed the progression of OA after intra-articular injection in the OA rat model. With favorable biocompatibility, PDA-Pd exhibits efficient antioxidative and anti-inflammatory capacity, leading to the alleviation of OA in rats. Our findings may provide new insights into the treatment of various ROS-induced inflammatory diseases.

Background And Objectives: Despite the absence of acute lesion activity in multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic neurodegeneration continues to progress, and a potential underlying mechanism could be the kynurenine pathway (KP). Prolonged activation of the KP from chronic inflammation is known to exacerbate the progression of neurodegenerative diseases through the production of neurotoxic metabolites. Among the 8 KP metabolites, six of them, namely kynurenine (KYN), 3-hydroxylkynurenine (3HK), anthranilic acid (AA), kynurenic acid (KYNA), and quinolinic acid (QUIN), have been associated with neurodegeneration.

Background And Objectives: While it is well characterized in adults, little is known about the clinical features of neurofascin 155-IgG4 autoimmune nodopathy (NF155-IgG4 AN) in the pediatric population. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical features and treatment outcomes in children diagnosed with neurofascin 155-IgG4 autoimmune nodopathy (NF155-IgG4 AN).
Methods: Pediatric and adult patients with NF155-IgG4 AN were identified retrospectively through the Mayo Clinic Neuroimmunology Laboratory database.

The absence of an effective imaging tool for diagnosing renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) severely delays its treatment, and currently, no definitive clinical interventions are available. Pyroglutamate aminopeptidase-1 (PGP-1), a potential inflammatory cytokine, has shown considerable potential as a biomarker for tracing the inflammatory process in vivo. However, its exact role in the enhanced visualization of RIRI in complex biological systems has yet to be fully established.
