The in vitro test of direct granulation of basophils affected by specific antigens (cardial tissue, acid-soluble fraction of collagen, streptococcal allergens) was investigated in the course of treating 41 patients (29 women and 12 men aged from 20 to 50 years) suffering from a little active rheumatic fever. The patients received a complex of therapeutic measures including high-protein diet (130-140 g protein) and drugs (1.5-2.0 g acetylsalicylic acid and 15 mg of prednisolone a day). As a result of the treatment all the patients improved and demonstrated pain relief in the heart region, reduced palpitation, abatement of general weakness and fatigue. At the same time there was a decrease in the reactivity of basophilic leukocytes, shown by less number of degranulated cells in vitro, activated with specific antigens.

Background: OLX-07010 is an oral small molecule inhibitor of tau self-association that prevented the accumulation of tau aggregates in the htau mouse model expressing wild type human CNS tau isoforms and in P301L tau JNPL3 mice using chronic treatment by administration in diet (Davidowitz et al., 2020, PMID: 31771053; 2023 PMID:37556474). A therapeutic study of JNPL3 mice with chronic treatment from 7-12 months of age inhibited the progression of tau aggregation and improved motor coordination.

Background: Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a condition characterized by excessive uric acid production and/or inadequate uric acid excretion due to abnormal purine metabolism in the human body. Uric acid deposits resulting from HUA can lead to complications such as renal damage. Currently, drugs used to treat HUA lack specificity and often come with specific toxic side effects.

Dysregulated energy metabolism, particularly lipid metabolism disorders, has been identified as a key factor in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is a deacetylase involved in the regulation of metabolism and cellular energy homeostasis, yet its role in the progression of DCM remains unclear. We observed significantly reduced SIRT2 expression in DCM model mice.

PIEZO1 has been found to play a vital role in regulating intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) function and maintaining intestinal barrier in recent years. Therefore, IEC PIEZO1 might exert a significant impact on liver metabolism through the gut-liver axis, but there is no research on this topic currently. Classic high-fat diet (HFD) model and mice with IEC-specific deficiency of PIEZO1 ( ) were used to explore the problem.

Diacylglycerol kinase δ (DGKδ) phosphorylates diacylglycerol to produce phosphatidic acid. Previously, we demonstrated that down-regulation of DGKδ suppresses the myogenic differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts. However, the myogenic roles of DGKδ in vivo remain unclear.
