The immune-responsive gene 1 (IRG1) protein plays a role in various pathological processes by connecting cellular metabolism to a range of cellular activities through the production of itaconate. Recent studies have highlighted the significance of IRG1 and itaconate in bone metabolism and homeostasis. However, the precise role of IRG1 in osteoporosis remains inadequately documented.

Background: Vitamin D (VD) deficiency and insulin resistance (IR) increase the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but few studies have explored the potential mechanisms by which IR mediates the association between VD and the pathogenesis of NAFLD at the genetic level using publicly available databases.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, and we utilized the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset, as well as data from GSE200765 obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) website. A total of 723 individuals who had completed liver ultrasound examination and the detection of VD levels were included in the final analysis.

(1) : Targeted alpha therapy is an emerging field in nuclear medicine driven by two advantages: overcoming resistance in cancer-suffering patients to beta therapies and the practical application of lower activities of Pb- and Ac-labelled peptides to achieve the same doses compared to beta therapy due to the highly cytotoxic nature of alpha particles. However, quality control of the Pb/Ac-radiopharmaceuticals remains a challenge due to the low activity levels used for therapy (100 kBq/kg) and the formation of several free daughter nuclides immediately after the formulation of patient doses; (2) : The routine alpha detection on thin-layer chromatograms (TLC) of Pb- and Ac-labelled peptides using a MiniScanPRO+ scanner combined with an alpha detector head was compared with detection using an AR-2000 scanner equipped with an open proportional counter tube. Measurement time, resolution and validity were compared for both scanners; (3) : For Ac, the quality control values of the radiochemical purity (RCP) were within the acceptance criteria 2 h after TLC development, regardless of when the TLC probe was taken.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in echocardiography represents a transformative advancement in cardiology, addressing longstanding challenges in cardiac diagnostics. Echocardiography has traditionally been limited by operator-dependent variability and subjective interpretation, which impact diagnostic reliability. This study evaluates the role of AI, particularly machine learning (ML), in enhancing the accuracy and consistency of echocardiographic image analysis and its potential to complement clinical expertise.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major global health concern, affecting millions of people worldwide. HBV is part of the hepadnaviridae family and one of the primary causes of acute and chronic liver infections, leading to conditions such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Understanding the intracellular transport and genome repair mechanisms of HBV is crucial for developing new drugs, which-in combination with immune modulators-may contribute to potential cures.
