AI Article Synopsis
- * The study utilized bioinformatics to investigate changes in immune cell types and identify key genes involved in the immune response to hypoxia, with findings suggesting that certain immune cells like monocytes and NK cells have crucial roles in AMS.
- * Promising natural compounds, such as jasminoidin and isoliquiritigenin, have shown strong interactions with important immune-related genes, highlighting their potential as therapeutic agents for AMS.
Article Abstract
A high-altitude, low-pressure hypoxic environment has severe effects on the health and work efficiency of its residents, and inadequate preventive measures and adaptive training may lead to the occurrence of AMS. Acute exposure to hypoxia conditions can have a less-favorable physiological effect on the human immune system. However, the regulation of the immune system in high-altitude environments is extremely complex and remains elusive. This study integrated system bioinformatics methods to screen for changes in immune cell subtypes and their associated targets. It also sought potential therapeutically effective natural compound candidates. The present study observed that monocytes, M1 macrophages and NK cells play a crucial role in the inflammatory response in AMS. IL15RA, CD5, TNFSF13B, IL21R, JAK2 and CXCR3 were identified as hub genes, and JAK2 was positively correlated with monocytes; TNFSF13B was positively correlated with NK cells. The natural compound monomers of jasminoidin and isoliquiritigenin exhibited good binding affinity with JAK2, while dicumarol and artemotil exhibited good binding affinity with TNFSF13B, and all are expected to become a potential therapeutic agents.

Model organisms are commonly used to study human diseases; we set out to understand the relevance of several model organisms with relation to the σ1R protein. The study explored the interactions of σ1R with various agonists, antagonists across different species. Ligand and protein-protein (σ1R-BiP) docking approaches were used to understand the significance of σ1R in modulating neuroprotective mechanisms and its potential role in Alzheimer's.

Osteoporosis, a condition marked by the loss of bone density and mass, affects individuals of all ages. However, it becomes more prevalent and severe with aging, increasing the risk of fractures and other health complications. Recent research has highlighted a link between osteoporosis and periodontitis, a chronic gum disease, as both conditions involve excessive bone loss that can lead to significant oral health problems if untreated.

Objective: While the relationship between smoking and subarachnoid hemorrhage is well established, data regarding the probability of detecting unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) in smokers remain sparse. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between smoking and the likelihood of identifying UIAs in healthy asymptomatic patients who underwent brain imaging for indications unrelated to UIAs.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines.
Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach to the Major Secondary Causes of Arterial Hypertension in Young Adults: A Narrative Review.

Arterial hypertension in young adults, which includes patients between 19 and 40 years of age, has been increasing in recent years and is associated with a significantly higher risk of target organ damage and short-term mortality. It has been reported that up to 10% of these cases are due to a potentially reversible secondary cause, mainly of endocrine (primary aldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome, and pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma), renal (renovascular hypertension due to fibromuscular dysplasia and renal parenchymal disease), or cardiac (coarctation of the aorta) origin. It is recommended to rule out a secondary cause of high blood pressure (BP) in those patients with early onset of grade 2 or 3 hypertension, acute worsening of previously controlled hypertension, resistant hypertension, hypertensive emergency, severe target organ damage disproportionate to the grade of hypertension, or in the face of clinical or biochemical characteristics suggestive of a secondary cause of hypertension.

Introduction: Given the risks of cardiovascular disease among pediatric kidney transplant recipients, we evaluated whether there was an association between rapid weight gain (RWG) following kidney transplantation and the development of obesity and hypertension among children enrolled in the North American Pediatric Renal Trials and Collaborative Studies (NAPRTCS) registry.
Methods: This retrospective analysis of the NAPRTCS transplant cohort assessed for RWG in the first year post-transplant and evaluated for obesity and hypertension in children with and without RWG up to 5 years post-transplant. We evaluated three separate eras (1986-1999, 2000-2009, and 2010-2021).
