The present pilot study aims to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic efficacy of serum HSP90 beta in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) patients subjected to localized hyperthermia therapy (HT). Serum levels of HSP90 beta were measured by ELISA and its diagnostic and prognostic efficacy was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. HNSCC patients showed significantly (P<0.05) higher serum levels of HSP90 beta (65.6±13.08 ng/ml) compared to Healthy Controls (HC: 23.5±3.8 ng/ml). No significant difference was observed in serum HSP90 beta levels between complete responders (CR) and non-responders (NR) in the chemo-radiation therapy (CRT) cohort. However, in CRT+HT cohort, CR showed significantly (P = 0.02) lower serum HSP90 beta levels at 24 h after HT (25.6±9.04 ng/ml) compared to NR (130.5±34.2 ng/ml). Youden's index values between HNSCC versus HC, CR versus NR (CRT) and CR versus NR (CRT+HT) were found to be 0.47, 0.45 and 0.80, respectively. Thus, alterations in the serum HSP90 beta after HT suggest its potential in prognosis of HT response in HNSCC patients. Elevated levels of HSP90 beta may serve as a promising diagnostic serum bio-marker for HNSCC. However, further validation in larger patient samples is needed for clinical translation of HSP90 beta as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.

Sustained myocardial hypertrophy or left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) triggered by pressure overload is strongly linked to adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Here, we investigated the clinical relationship between serum HSP90α (an isoform of HSP90) levels and LVH in patients with hypertension or aortic stenosis (AS) and explored underlying mechanisms in pressure overload mouse model. We built a pressure overload mouse model via transverse aortic constriction (TAC).

Article Synopsis
- Slow-release GnRH agonist implants are used in male dogs for contraception, and their effects are reversible, although safety concerns exist.
- A study was conducted to investigate the impact of these implants on testicular stress and androgen receptor signaling in dogs after the implants were removed, comparing them to untreated controls.
- Results showed both upregulation and downregulation of various proteins related to stress response and androgen receptors, indicating that GnRH implants do not increase cellular stress compared to natural breeding cycles, but more research is needed on hypoxic conditions.

Cadmium (Cd), recognized as an environmental toxin, can cause injury to the testis in humans and animals. Oxidative stress (OS) can trigger an inflammatory response by promoting the activation of nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Meanwhile, inflammation can lead to the occurrence of heat shock reaction.

With increasing age comes the inevitable decline in proteostasis, where chaperone and co-chaperone activity becomes imbalanced. These changes lead to global disturbances and pathogenic rewiring of the chaperone system into epichaperones consisting of protein networks that are ultimately dysfunctional. Such imbalances in proteostasis may favor mechanisms that can lead to neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD).
