Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive neurodegenerative process leading to cognitive decline and functional impairment. Endocrine factors, particularly sex hormones and their binding proteins, play a critical role in AD pathophysiology. Understanding the relationship between these factors and AD is essential for developing targeted interventions.

Background/objectives: Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a complex pathological condition that lacks a cure. Certain Chinese medicines, such as melittin, a major component in bee venom, have shown efficacy in treating CRF patients. On the other hand, the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of melittin are unclear.

Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center, Shanghai Eye Hospital, Shanghai, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study highlights that pre-myopia is a significant concern for preventing myopia in young children, particularly those under 3 years old, as it increases their risk of developing myopia.
  • Conducted in 16 kindergartens in Shanghai, the research evaluated noncycloplegic screening methods, analyzing visual acuity and refractive measurements from 1,308 preschoolers to find the prevalence of myopia and pre-myopia.
  • Results indicated that while using uncorrected distance visual acuity alone was not effective, combining axial length and the corneal curvature ratio with spherical equivalent measurements offered better accuracy in screening both pre-myopia and myopia in young children.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are produced by glycosylation or oxidation of proteins and lipids and are tightly involved in the chronic kidney disease (CKD) process. Calpain 6 (CAPN6) is a non-classical calpain that has been reported to be overexpressed in CKD. This study aimed to explore the effects of AGEs in CKD progress and their correlation with CAPN6.

Objective: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) function as vital regulators in biologic processes and are dysregulated in various tumors; however, little is known about their role in the inflammatory response in asthma. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the function of antisense HOXA terminal transcriptional RNA (HOTTIP) and its possible mechanism in the ovalbumin (OVA)-induced inflammatory response in asthmatic mice.

Methods: Asthma-related data resources from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were extracted to explore the relationships between lncRNAs and asthma, and the lncRNA HOTTIP was identified.
