Clinical features, magnetic resonance, and biochemical studies are reported in 7 children with pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) deficiency. These findings confirm the diverse clinical presentation of this condition, although neurological abnormalities are consistent features. Imaging results are also varied. Six of the children were investigated with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and lactate was demonstrated in brain in all patients. Regional variation in the lactate signal was observed in those patients in whom 2 regions were examined. Advances in molecular genetics have provided some explanations for the clinical variation in pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency.

Dihydroporphyrin iron (III) enhances low temperature tolerance by increasing carbon and nitrogen metabolism in .

Dihydroporphyrin iron (DH-Fe) is a novel plant growth regulator that plays significant roles in plant stress resistance. We found that is extremely sensitive to low temperature (LT) with a threshold of 25°C. To evaluate whether and how DH-Fe alleviates LT stress in , different DH-Fe concentrations (0, 10, 20, and 40 μg·L) were applied to estimate its effects on C and N metabolism and antioxidative capacity in grown under 20°C.

Background: Microplastics are tiny plastic particles, typically less than 5 mm in size, formed from the breakdown of larger plastic products. This breakdown releases additives, including benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), into the environment. Humans can be exposed to BBP through contaminated food and water, inhalation, and dermal contact.

Objective: Gliomas are the predominant form of malignant brain tumors. We investigated the mechanism of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) affecting glioma metabolic reprogramming, proliferation and invasion.
Methods: Human glioma cell U87 was cultured under hypoxia and treated with small interfering (si)HIF-1α, si-B cell lymphoma-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa interacting protein 3 (siBNIP3), si-YT521-B homology domain 2 (siYTHDF2), 3-methyladenine and 2-deoxyglucose, with exogenous sodium lactate-treated normally-cultured cells as a lactate-positive control.
Mitochondrial targeted drug Dichloroacetate protects against sulfur mustard-induced neurotoxicity via the PDK/PDH axis and Akt/Nrf2 pathway.

Sulfur mustard (SM) is a major toxic chemical threat to public health. Mitochondrial dysfunction is considered a critical contributing factor to mustard agent-induced damage. The brain is vulnerable to SM, which can lead to various types of acute and long-term psychiatric distress after exposure, but the neurotoxic mechanisms of SM, let alone drug candidates, are seldom studied.

Background: Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the urinary system. Despite significant advances in diagnosis and treatment, the compromised therapeutic effect of chemotherapeutic agents, such as Oxaliplatin (OXA), remains a major clinical challenge. Thus, a combination therapy is required to enhance the OXA's therapeutic effectiveness and improve patient outcomes.
