Article Synopsis
  • CSF1 is usually produced by immune cells to help regulate macrophage function, particularly in maintaining intestinal health, and is important in understanding necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in newborns.
  • In a study, researchers found that CSF1 expression in the intestines of infants with NEC was reduced, and the presence of CSF1R macrophages diminished in affected tissues, indicating their role in intestinal inflammation.
  • The findings suggest that while CSF1 helps support normal intestinal function and macrophage activity, its downregulation during inflammation (like in NEC) can lead to immune dysfunction and tissue damage.

Opportunistic screening for osteoporosis can be performed using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) imaging obtained for other clinical indications. In this study we explored the CT-derived bone mineral density (BMD) and prevalence of osteoporosis from thoracic LDCT in a large population cohort of Chinese men and women. A total of 69,095 adults (40,733 men and 28,362 women) received a thoracic LDCT scan for the purpose of lung cancer screening between 2018 and 2019, and data were obtained for analysis from the China Biobank Project, a prospective nationwide multicenter population study.

Flurbiprofen is one of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Whether flurbiprofen affects androgen biosynthesis in Leydig cells is still unknown. Immature Leydig cells (ILCs) isolated from 35-day-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured with 0-100 μM flurbiprofen for 24 h and medium androgen levels and Leydig cell mRNA levels were measured.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the remission rate and describe the current use of medication in a large cohort of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients under routine clinical care in China. RA patients were recruited from 40 large teaching hospitals nationwide in China. Data regarding RA disease activity, medication treatment, and adverse events were recorded using a standardized clinical data questionnaire.

Article Synopsis
  • MicroRNAs, specifically miR-605, are implicated in the development and progression of melanoma, with its downregulation observed in both melanoma cell lines and clinical samples.
  • Functional studies show that miR-605 inhibits melanoma cell growth by targeting the INPP4B gene, which is linked to SGK3 activation.
  • These findings suggest that miR-605 acts as a tumor suppressor in melanoma and could be a promising target for future cancer therapies.

Cullin1 (Cul1) serves as a rigid scaffold in the SCF (Skp1/Cullin/Rbx1/F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and has been found to be overexpressed in melanoma and to enhance melanoma cell proliferation by promoting G1-S phase transition. However, the underlying mechanisms involved in the regulation of melanoma cell proliferation by Cul1 remain poorly understood. In the present study, we found that Cul1 promoted mTORC1 activity and cap-dependent translation by enhancing the ubiquitination and degradation of DEPTOR.

J Korean Med Sci

October 2013

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. ; Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Guiyang Medical University, Guiyang, Guizhou Province, China.

This study investigated the expression and clinicopathological significance of CD9 in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Immunohistochemistry staining for CD9 was performed on tumor tissues from 74 GIST patients. The correlation with clinicopathological features, risk classification and prognosis was analyzed.
