The prophylactic effect of a single oral dose of 5 mg pindolol (P) or 100 mg metoprolol (M) on sympathetic and adrenergic stress reactions was investigated by a double blind study in 40 patients undergoing oral surgery. A reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate was noted after both, P and M, as was the increase of these parameters during surgery. Adrenaline-, noradrenaline- and c-AMP-level were reduced after systematic beta-blockade by P only, not after M. The increased lipolysis and glycolysis during surgery were prevented by P only. The stimulation of the hypothalamic and adrenal stress reactions were not influenced by either P or M. The application of the systematic beta-blocker with ISA (P) only was suited to prevent the increase of catecholamine levels in plasma and peripheral receptor stimulation.

Background: The endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) has been involved in various musculoskeletal disorders including non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (NT-ONFH).

Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the association of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) as well as CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) expressions in serum and femoral head (FH) tissues with NT-ONFH's severity.

Methods: We enrolled NT-ONFH patients (n = 150) alongside healthy controls (HCs, n = 150).

Oligodendrocytes in Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology.

Nat Neurosci

January 2025

Institute of Neuronal Cell Biology, Technical University Munich, Munich, Germany.

Our understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has transformed from a purely neuronal perspective to one that acknowledges the involvement of glial cells. Despite remarkable progress in unraveling the biology of microglia, astrocytes and vascular elements, the exploration of oligodendrocytes in AD is still in its early stages. Contrary to the traditional notion of oligodendrocytes as passive bystanders in AD pathology, emerging evidence indicates their active participation in and reaction to amyloid and tau pathology.

Advancements in molecular diagnostics, such as polymerase chain reaction and next-generation sequencing, have revolutionized disease management and prognosis. Despite these advancements in molecular diagnostics, the field faces challenges due to high operational costs and the need for sophisticated equipment and highly trained personnel besides having several technical limitations. The emergent field of CRISPR/Cas sensing technology is showing promise as a new paradigm in clinical diagnostics, although widespread clinical adoption remains limited.

Highly reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) play crucial roles in various pathological conditions. Among them, hypochlorous ion (OCl⁻), a potent ROS, is associated in numerous oxidative stress-related disorders. Elevated levels of OCl⁻ are thus recognized as a biomarker for diagnosing inflammatory conditions.
