Introduction: the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) provides a quantitative means for assessing the role of diet in relation to health outcomes.

Objetive: this study aimed to assess the association between the inflammatory potential of diet, as measured by the DII and IL-17A levels in young adults.

Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted on 69 adults between 18-35 y of age in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Fasting blood samples were collected to analyze lipid profile, glucose homeostasis, and IL-17A. Dietary intake was assessed using a 24-hour recall. DII scores were calculated from 19 available food parameters. Univariate linear regression models were estimated to evaluate the possible dependence of IL-17A levels (dependent variables) on some potential explicative variables such as anthropometric, clinical, biochemical, and dietary variables.

Results: there was a high inflammatory potential, with a mean DII score of +1.04 (range: -2.19 to +2.78). The DII was not associated with BMI, IL-17A levels or cardiometabolic risk factors.

Conclusion: the study shows that the diets of healthy college-aged Mexican adults had a high inflammatory potential.

Spermidine alleviates copper-induced oxidative stress, inflammation and cuproptosis in the liver.

FASEB J

March 2025

State Key Laboratory of Swine and Poultry Breeding Industry, College of Animal Science and Technology, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu, P. R. China.

Copper exposure poses potential detrimental effects on both public and ecosystem health. Spermidine, an antioxidant, has shown promise in reducing oxidative stress and inflammation within the liver. However, its specific role in mitigating copper-induced hepatic cuproptosis and disturbances in copper metabolism remains unexplored.

Objective: The study investigated effects of peony callus extracts (PCE) on the protective efficacy against Ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced photoageing, using in vitro and in vivo studies. The research focused on PCE's ability to protect against inflammatory factors, DNA damage and accumulation of senescent cells, along with the evaluation of the extract's potential anti-photoageing benefits to skin.

Methods: Human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT cells), mast cells and fibroblasts were used to evaluate the role of PCE in anti-photoageing.

Femtosecond laser-ablative aqueous synthesis of multi-drug antiviral nanoparticles.

Nanomedicine (Lond)

March 2025

Department of Chemistry and The Institute for Laser, Photonics, and Biophotonics, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Buffalo, NY, USA.

Background: Nanomedicine offers a number of innovative strategies to address major public health burdens, including complex respiratory illnesses. In this work, we introduce a multi-drug nanoparticle fabricated using femtosecond laser ablation for the treatment of influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and their co-infections.

Methods: The SARS-CoV-2 antiviral, remdesivir; the influenza antiviral, baloxavir marboxil; and the anti-inflammatory, dexamethasone, were co-crystalized and then ablated in aqueous media using a femtosecond pulsed laser and subsequently surface modified with the cationic polymer, chitosan, or poly-d-lysine.

Introduction: Immunotherapy has rapidly become a primary treatment option for many lung cancer patients because of its success in treating this prevalent and deadly disease. However, the success of immunotherapy relies on overcoming the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, making remodelling this environment a potential strategy for lung cancer therapy. Research suggests that Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists can impede tumour growth by promoting the conversion of tumour-associated macrophages into an M1-like state or enhancing dendritic cell development.

Recent research has revealed a close association between obesity and various metabolic disorders, including renal metabolic diseases, but the mechanism is still unknown. This study explored the role of p16INK4a in obesity-related kidney fibrosis and evaluated its potential as a therapeutic target. Using wild-type (WT) mice and p16 KO mice, we fed both groups a high-fat diet (HFD) for 6 months.
