Diabetic ulcers (DUs) are a common complication of diabetes with high morbidity, poor prognosis, and a high socio-economic burden. The main pathological manifestations of DUs are chronic inflammation, impaired re-epithelialization, and impaired angiogenesis. During the inflammatory phase, neutrophils are one of the main DU cell types and act by releasing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), leading to poor healing in DUs. This review summarizes the role of neutrophils in the pathology and treatment of DUs, with a view to potential novel therapies and therapeutic targets.

Elucidating the role of FBXW4 in osteoporosis: integrating bioinformatics and machine learning for advanced insight.
BMC Pharmacol Toxicol
January 2025
Yanzhou District People's Hospital, Jining, Shandong, China.
Background: Osteoporosis (OP), often termed the "silent epidemic," poses a substantial public health burden. Emerging insights into the molecular functions of FBXW4 have spurred interest in its potential roles across various diseases.
Methods: This study explored FBXW4 by integrating DEGs from GEO datasets GSE2208, GSE7158, GSE56815, and GSE35956 with immune-related gene compilations from the ImmPort repository.

Background: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is one of the most significant complications following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Ferroptosis is a novel cell death mode characterized by iron overload and lipid peroxidation. However, the role of ferroptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) regulating neointimal formation during restenosis remains unclear.

Background: Post-acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS) occurs in some COVID-19 patients long after acute infection and significantly affects patients' health. However, the mechanism by which PACS develops is unknown. Myosin light chain 9 (Myl9), produced by activated platelets, plays a role in immune dysregulation and microthrombi formation during acute COVID-19.

This study aimed to investigate sex-dependent differences in a mouse model of caerulein-induced AP. Thirty-six C57BL/6J mice (19 females and 17 males) were treated intraperitoneally with phosphate-buffered saline or caerulein, and sacrificed 12 hours, 2 days, or 7 days after the last injection.

Skews in the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) increasingly demonstrate prognostic capability in a range of acute and chronic mental health conditions. There has been a recent uptick in structural and functional magnetic responance imaging data corroborating the role of NLR and MLR in a cluster of neuropsychiatric disorders that are characterized by cognitive, affective, and psychomotor dysfunction. Moreover, these deficits are mostly evident in setting of acute and chronic disease comorbidity implicating aging and immunosenescent processes in the manifestation of these geriatric syndromes.
