The levels of lysozyme in the serum and organs of Shienshilla male rabbits infected with Nico-s treponema were determined. The studies showed that the lues infection affected the factors of non-specific immunity, which was evident from the changes in the lysozyme titer. Administration of benzylpenicillin resulted in a marked decrease in the lysozyme titer in all cases. The experiments are indicative of advisability of studying the use of crystalline lysozyme in combination with antibiotics for increasing the efficacy of therapy of syphilitic infection.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) adversely affects various organs, including the brain and its blood barrier. In addition to the brain, hyperglycemia damages the testes. The testes possess blood-tissue barriers that share common characteristics and proteins with the blood-brain barrier (BBB), including breast cancer-resistant protein (BCRP).

Background: Sepsis is an infection-related systemic inflammation with high mortality rates. Activation of formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) in immune cells can promote their chemotaxis and inflammatory response, which imbalances immune response during the process of sepsis. FPR1 blockade did diminish systemic inflammatory response during bacterial infection.

Vascularization of human islets by adaptable endothelium for durable and functional subcutaneous engraftment.

Sci Adv

January 2025

Division of Regenerative Medicine, Hartman Institute for Therapeutic Organ Regeneration, Ansary Stem Cell Institute, Department of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA.

Tissue-specific endothelial cells (ECs) are critical for the homeostasis of pancreatic islets and most other tissues. In vitro recapitulation of islet biology and therapeutic islet transplantation both require adequate vascularization, which remains a challenge. Using human reprogrammed vascular ECs (R-VECs), human islets were functionally vascularized in vitro, demonstrating responsive, dynamic glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and Ca influx.

Prediction Model of the T Cell-mediated Rejection After Liver Transplantation in Children and Adults: a Case-controlled Study.

Int J Surg

January 2025

Department of Liver Transplant Center, Organ Transplant Center, West China Hospital/West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University, Chengdu, P.R, China.

Objective: T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) is a major concern following liver transplantation (LT), and identifying its predictors could help improve post-transplant prognosis. This study aimed to develop a model to predict the risk of TCMR in children and adults after LT.

Method: Pre-transplant demographic characteristics, intraoperative parameters, and especially early post-transplant laboratory data for 1,221 LT recipients (1,096 adults and 125 children) were obtained from Hospital, University, between 1 January 2015, and 1 January 2022.

Evaluation of the Effect of Virgin Rice Bran Oil (VRBO) on DoxorubicinInduced Cardiotoxicity in Wistar Rats.

Curr Cardiol Rev

January 2025

Department of Nutrition, Société Francophone de Nutrithérapie et de Nutrigénétique Appliquée, Villeurbanne, France.

Objective: The usage of doxorubicin (DOX), an antineoplastic drug that is frequently used for the cure of cancer, is restricted to maximal doses due to its cardiac toxicity. Reactive oxygen species produced by DOX result in lipid peroxidation and organ failure, ultimately resulting in cardiomyopathy. Due to its high polyphenol content, virgin rice bran oil (VRBO) is a diet nutritional supplement with a strong antioxidant.
