(1) : Kidney transplantation is the best therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease, but the risk of rejection complicates it. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1), an enzyme involved in immune response modulation, has been suggested to play a role in transplant immunological injury. The aim of the study was to explore the expression of IDO1 in the interstitial foci of transplanted kidneys and its potential association with rejection episodes. (2) : This retrospective study analysed kidney transplant biopsies from 121 patients, focusing on IDO1 expression in interstitial foci. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect IDO1, and patients were categorised based on IDO1 presence (IDO1-IF positive or negative). The incidence of rejection was compared between these groups. (3) : Patients with IDO1 expression in interstitial foci (IDO1-IF(+)) exhibited higher incidences of rejection 46/80 (57.5%) vs. 10/41 (24.34%) patients compared to IDO1-IF(-) patients, which was statistically significant with = 0.0005. The analysis of antibody-mediated rejection showed that IDO1-IF(+) patients developed AMR at 12/80 (15%), while only 1 IDO1-IF(-) negative patient did (2,44%), with = 0.035. T-cell-mediated rejection was also more common in IDO1-IF(+) patients 43/80 (53.75%) than in IDO1-IF(-) patients 7/41 (17.07%), with = 0.0001. (4) : IDO1 expression in interstitial foci of renal transplant biopsies is associated with a higher incidence of rejection, suggesting that IDO1 could serve as a potential biomarker for transplant rejection. These findings highlight the importance of IDO1 in immune regulation and its potential utility in improving the management of kidney transplant recipients.

Objectives: Robotic-assisted laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive method for ablating seizure foci and has gained prominence in epilepsy treatment. The use of robotic guidance in these procedures can minimize errors in probe placement, potentially leading to better clinical outcomes. In this meta-analysis, we assessed the accuracy, safety, and effectiveness of robot-assisted LITT for drug-resistant epilepsy.

Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model, eye-acupuncture and GPX4-inhibitor groups, with 15 rats in each group. The CIRI model was replicated by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and reperfusion for 24 h.
Targeting the Epigenetic Regulator CBX5 Promotes Fibroblast Metabolic Reprogramming and Inhibits Lung Fibrosis.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by the sustained activation of interstitial fibroblasts leading to excessive collagen deposition and progressive organ failure. Epigenetic and metabolic abnormalities have been shown to contribute to the persistent activated state of scar-forming fibroblasts. However, how epigenetic changes regulate fibroblast metabolic responses to promote fibroblast activation and progressive fibrosis remains largely unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Fibroblastic foci (FF) are important indicators of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) but can also appear in various fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), making them non-specific for UIP.
- This study analyzed the spatial distribution of FF in different forms of ILDs in patients who underwent lung transplants, categorizing them by anatomical location.
- Results showed that idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) had more total and peripheral FF compared to other ILDs, while centrilobular FF was more prevalent in fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (FHP), suggesting distinct spatial patterns associated with different diseases.

Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a severe lung disease with no effective treatments, characterized by abnormal lung tissue growth and scarring.
- This study explored the potential of Allium sativum nanovesicles (AS-NV) in a mouse model of IPF and found that AS-NV reduced collagen levels and improved lung structure without harming healthy cells.
- The results indicate that AS-NV may reduce key genes associated with fibrosis and inflammation, suggesting a promising avenue for future IPF treatments, though further research is necessary.
