Heterozygous mutations in factor H aggravate pathological damage in a stable IgA deposition model induced by Lactobacillus casei cell wall extract

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionActivation of complement through the alternative pathway (AP) has a key role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). We previously showed, by intraperitoneal injection of Lactobacillus casei cell wall extract (LCWE), C57BL/6 mice ...

Prescription analgesic overuse in older adults: Can we mitigate this growing problem?

AGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 294-296, December 2022., 2022
With older adults already on numerous prescription medications to manage their chronic conditions, the addition of pain medications could impose an even greater burden due to dependency issues. We need to understand the use of chronic pain medication, especially opioids, discuss current strategies and gaps, and offer potential solutions to mitigate ...

Inhibition of Aberrant Activated Fibroblast‐Like Synoviocytes in Rheumatoid Arthritis by Leishmania Peptide via the Regulation of Fatty Acid Synthesis Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LACK156‐173 is internalized into RA‐FLSs via CAPN2‐mediated endocytosis and inhibits the aggressive phenotype of RA‐FLSs by restoring dysregulated fatty acid synthesis metabolism mediated by overexpressed FASN. The findings suggest that targeting the restoration of fatty acid metabolism could potentially alleviate synovial invasion and joint damage in ...

Effect of Clinical History on Predictive Model Performance for Renal Complications of Diabetes [PDF]

arXiv
Diabetes is a chronic disease characterised by a high risk of developing diabetic nephropathy, which, in turn, is the leading cause of end-stage chronic kidney disease. The early identification of individuals at heightened risk of such complications or their exacerbation can be of paramount importance to set a correct course of treatment.
