Memantine-Assisted Treatment of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Antibody Encephalitis: A Mini Review.

Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat

December 2024

Shanghai Mental Health Center, Shanghai Jiaotong University, School of Medicine, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis (NMDARE) presents serious neurological manifestations such as reduced consciousness, seizures, and movement disorders, which can escalate to coma or severe autonomic dysfunction. Treatment typically involves immunotherapy and tumor removal to mitigate the autoimmune response. Timely diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent severe neurological impairment or death.

Ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma: Mechanisms and therapeutic implications.

Biomed Pharmacother

January 2025

School of Life Science, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, PR China. Electronic address:

Ferroptosis is a novel form of oxidative cell death, in which highly expressed unsaturated fatty acids on the cell membrane are catalyzed by divalent iron or ester oxygenase to promote liposome peroxidation. This process reduces cellular antioxidant capacity, increases lipid reactive oxygen species, and leads to the accumulation of intracellular ferrous ions, which disrupts intracellular redox homeostasis and ultimately causes oxidative cell death. Studies have shown that ferroptosis induces an immune response that has a dual role in liver disease, ferroptosis also offers a promising strategy for precise cancer therapy.

Objectives: To observe the effect of "Shugan Tiaoshen"(soothing the liver and regulating the mental activities) needling on the expressions of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and autophagy-related proteins in the prefrontal cortex of rats with depression after ischemic stroke (post-stroke depression), in order to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of post-stroke depression behaviors.

Methods: A total of 60 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation (control), stroke, post-stroke depression, inhibitor, acupuncture, and acupuncture + inhibitor groups. The post-stroke depression model was established by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and reperfusion (MCAO/R), combined with chronic unpredictable mild stimulation (CUMS).

The unique mating behavior of Bittacidae has been extensively studied, yet the mechanisms underlying internal sperm transport and temporary storage before mating remain enigmatic. Herein, we aim to elucidate these mechanisms by investigating the fine structure of the ejaculatory duct, which serves for sperm transport and temporary storage. The ultrastructure of the ejaculatory duct of Terrobittacus implicatus (Mecoptera: Bittacidae) was examined by light and transmission electron microscopy for the first time in this study.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequently associated with intestinal comorbidities. Damage to the intestinal barrier plays a crucial role in these disorders, leading to increased intestinal and systemic inflammation, and thereby promoting the progression of COPD. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of intestinal epithelial barrier damage, focusing on the roles of the Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) and NF-κB in COPD-related intestinal damage.

ECMO is an advanced technology for extracorporeal respiratory and circulatory support. It involves the extraction of venous blood from the patient's body, which is subsequently oxygenated within an oxygenator (or membrane lung). This oxygen-rich blood is reinfused either into veins or arteries, rapidly compensating for impaired lung and heart functionalities.

Background: Takayasu arteritis (TA), a rare systemic macrovasculitis in children, affects multiple arteries, causing necrosis, remodeling, stenosis, or dilatation. Due to nonspecific symptoms, early diagnosis is challenging, and it is often missed until organ dysfunction occurs. TA poses a significant health threat, with few reports on acute cerebral infarction in pediatric cases.

Advances in B Cell Targeting for Treating Muscle-Specific Tyrosine Kinase-Associated Myasthenia Gravis.

Immunotargets Ther

December 2024

Department of Neuroimmunology, Henan Institute of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, People's Republic of China.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a typical autoimmune disease of the nervous system. It is characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and fatigue due to impaired neuromuscular junction transmission mediated by IgG autoantibodies. Muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase-associated MG (MuSK-MG), a rare and severe subtype of MG, is distinguished by the presence of anti-MuSK antibodies; it responds poorly to traditional therapies.

Kupffer cells, the limelight in the liver regeneration.

Key Laboratory of Receptors-Mediated Gene Regulation and Drug Discovery, School of Basic Medical Science, Inner Mongolia Medical University, Hohhot, China; Key Laboratory of Receptors-Mediated Gene Regulation, Hebi Key Laboratory of Liver Disease, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Henan University, Kaifeng, China. Electronic address:

Kupffer cells are pivotal in initiating hepatocyte proliferation and establishing connections between different cell types during liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy. As resident macrophages within the liver, Kupffer cells collaborate with hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells to release various inflammatory mediators that promote hepatocyte proliferation through induction signals like STAT3 phosphorylation. Additionally, the regeneration and replenishment of Kupffer cells themselves are integral components of liver regeneration.

Sevoflurane is extensively employed as an inhalation anesthetic in medical practices, due to its promising pharmacokinetics. Conversely, the data regarding effects of prolonged exposure to trace amounts of sevoflurane on the female reproductive system is obscure. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the reproductive toxicity and underlying mechanism of long-term sevoflurane inhalation in female rats.

Dyes-encapsulated metal-organic cage as fluorescence sensor array for the auxiliary differential diagnosis of MCD and FSGS in early renal disorders.

Biosens Bioelectron

March 2025

Center of Advanced Analysis and Gene Sequencing, Key Laboratory of Molecular Sensing and Harmful Substances Detection Technology, Zhengzhou University, Kexue Avenue 100, Zhengzhou, Henan, 450001, PR China.

Both minimal change disease (MCD) and focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) are the pathological types of primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) and cannot be readily distinguished owing to their highly similar clinical presentations. Currently, methods for clinical MCD and FSGS diagnosis still rely on invasive renal biopsy which impede rapid and accurate diagnosis for timely treatment management. In this study, a novel diagnostic strategy by introducing the dyes with spironolactone structure into the metal-organic cage to construct three dye@MOCs composites has been developed and employed as fluorescence sensor array for assisting in the auxiliary differential diagnosis of MCD and FSGS based on the distinguishable biothiols in urine.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on assessing the effectiveness and side effects of combining camrelizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, with chemotherapy for patients with early or locally advanced triple-negative breast cancer.
  • The phase 3 trial involved 441 patients from various hospitals in China, where they were randomly assigned to receive either camrelizumab or a placebo along with standard chemotherapy over several weeks.
  • Results showed a higher rate of pathological complete response—meaning no invasive tumors were detected—in the camrelizumab group (56.8%) compared to the placebo group (44.7%), indicating camrelizumab may enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

Electronic address:

Cancer vaccines are promising therapeutic approaches to enhance specific T-cell immunity against most solid tumors. By stimulating anti-tumor immunity, clearing minimal residual disease, and minimizing adverse effects, these vaccines target tumor cells and are effective when combined with immune checkpoint blockade or other immunotherapies. However, the development of tumor cell-based vaccines faces quality issues due to poor immunogenicity, tumor heterogeneity, a suppressive tumor immune microenvironment, and ineffective delivery methods.
