Background: Cytopenia is the primary feature of Myelodysplastic Syndrome, even in the presence of hypercellular bone marrow. TNFα is recognized as both a proinflammatory, and proapoptotic cytokine with a well established role in promoting apoptosis in MDS. Therefore, TNFα has the potential to be a valuable biomarker for predicting the progression of cytopenia in MDS. This study aims to establish the role of TNFα exposure in triggering apoptosis through caspase-3 activity in CD34+, CD33+, and CD41 + cells in MDS.
Methods: This study is an in vitro comparative experimental research. Bone marrow mononuclear cells were isolated as the source of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Subsequently, CD34+, CD33+, and CD41 + cells were exposed to rhTNFα, and the caspase-3 activity was measured using flowcytometry.
Results: In MDS CD33 + and CD41 + caspase-3 activity of rhTNFα exposed cells was significantly higher than without exposed cells. The opposite result was found in CD34 + cells, where the caspase-3 activity without rhTNFα exposed cells was significantly higher than rhTNFα exposed cells.
Conclusion: rhTNFα exposure led to an elevation in caspase-3 activity in MDS progenitor cells, especially in those that had differentiated into myeloid cell CD33 + and megakaryocyte cell CD41+, as opposed to the early progenitor cells CD34+.

Objectives: This study intended to explore whether the protective effect safflower yellow injection (SYI) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats mediated of the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling.
Methods: The I/R model was prepared by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 45 min and then releasing the blood flow for 150 min. 96 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group, I/R group, Hebeishuang group (HBS), SYI high-dose group (I/R + SYI-H), SYI medium-dose group (I/R + SYI-M) and SYI low-dose group (I/R + SYI-L).

Objectives: The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing globally, however its pathogenesis is still unclear. The evidence showed that the progression of AD was closely related to the apoptosis of nerve cells. This study amis to explore the role and specific mechanism of miR-15a and Bag5 in the apoptosis of nerve cells induced by beta-amyloid protein (Aβ) in AD.

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the neuroprotective effect of roflumilast, a phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitor on cognitive impairment induced by doxorubicin (DOX)/cyclophosphamide (CP) combination therapy and to elucidate its modulatory effect on the pyroptosis pathway.
Materials And Methods: Rats were allocated into five groups: a control group, a DOX/CP-intoxicated group, two groups receiving DOX/CP plus low-dose (0.5 mg/kg/day) or high-dose (1 mg/kg/day) roflumilast, and a roflumilast-only group.

Cynanchum wallichii (CW) is a traditional Chinese medicine which is widely used for treating arthrophlogosis, traumatic injury, and other conditions. Herein, we investigate the effects and mechanisms of CW and its bioactive constituent CW1 in reversing docetaxel (DTX) resistance in prostate cancer (PCa) cells. We investigated the reversal effects of CW and its bioactive constituent CW1 on 22Rv1/DTX cells in vitro and in vivo.
