Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the relationship between HLA DR expression on a specific type of immune cell (CD14- CD16+ monocytes) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS), focusing on the role of 1091 blood metabolites as potential mediators.
  • Using data from a large genome-wide association study, researchers applied a two-step Mendelian randomization method to analyze the effect of HLA DR levels on the risk of developing AS.
  • The findings indicated that higher HLA DR levels were linked to a lower incidence of AS, with N6, N6, N6-trimethyllysine (TML) identified as the key mediator in this relationship, demonstrating its significant impact on AS variance.

The pathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) has not been fully elucidated, and treatment options are limited. Currently, the main strategies for treating DPN are strict glycemic control and symptomatic pain relief. In this editorial, we comment on an article by Li which suggested that modulating the gut microbiota using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may be a promising strategy for alleviating DPN symptoms.

CD7-targeting pro-apoptotic extracellular vesicles: A novel approach for T-cell haematological malignancy therapy.

J Extracell Vesicles

December 2024

Department of Orthopaedics of the Second Affiliated Hospital and Institute of Immunology, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.

T-cell haematological malignancies progress rapidly and have a high mortality rate and effective treatments are still lacking. Here, we developed a drug delivery system utilizing 293T cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) modified with an anti-CD7 single-chain variable fragment (αCD7/EVs). Given the challenges of chemotherapy resistance in patients with T-cell malignancy, we selected cytochrome C (CytC) and Bcl2 siRNA (siBcl2) as therapeutic agents and loaded them into αCD7/EVs (αCD7/EVs/CytC/siBcl2).

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the effectiveness of stent implantation for complex coronary artery disease (CAD), comparing procedures guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to those without IVUS guidance.
  • Researchers analyzed data from six randomized control trials involving 5,173 subjects, finding that IVUS guidance significantly reduced major adverse cardiovascular events, cardiac death, target vessel revascularization, target lesion revascularization, and stent thrombosis.
  • However, there was no significant difference in the rates of myocardial infarction and all-cause death between the two groups, suggesting IVUS may enhance the safety and efficacy of stent placement in complex CAD cases.

Background: Several modified endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) techniques have been reported for colorectal tumors. Precutting-EMR (PEMR) is a modification wherein a circumferential mucosal incision is made around a lesion to facilitate en bloc resection. This review compared the efficacy and safety of PEMR with conventional EMR for colorectal lesions.

Background: Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has been increasingly recognized as a crucial mechanism in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). There remains a paucity of effective diagnostic biomarkers for this condition. This study aims to develop and validate a novel LLPS-related molecular signature to enhance the diagnostic accuracy and early detection of AD.

: Ischemia-reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury (IR-AKI), characterized by the abrupt decline in renal function, is distinguished by the intricate interplay between oxidative stress and inflammation. In this study, a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger-CF@PDA was developed to effectively target antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways to disrupt the oxidative stress-inflammation cycle in IR-AKI. : UV-vis absorption spectra, FTIR spectra, and TEM were employed to determine the successful construction of CF@P.

In hemodialysis patients, blood pressure variability (BPV) is associated with cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. However, previous research has predominantly concentrated on the predialysis BPV. In contrast, intradialytic BPV, reflecting the cardiovascular regulatory function during the process of rapid clearance of volume overload, holds greater relevance to the prognosis of patients.
