Molecular Mechanisms of Food Bioactive Constituents in the Management of Obesity and Hypertension: A Critical Review

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Obesity and hypertension co‐exist and share molecular mechanisms in terms of dietary therapy, modulated by food bioactive constituents. ABSTRACT Obesity and hypertension are among the most pressing global public health challenges. They frequently co‐exist, with obesity‐related hypertension accounting for an estimated 75% of the hypertension burden ...

Dengue Virus Molecular Targets and Antiviral Drug Development: Advances, Challenges and Therapeutic Perspectives

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 33, 1 September 2026.
This narrative review analyzes DENV molecular targets, including structural proteins (C, prM/M, E), non‐structural components (NS1NS5), and host factors, alongside small‐molecule candidates in preclinical and clinical phases. Owing to high structural conservation, the NS2B‐NS3 protease and NS5 (RdRp/MTase) remain primary drug discovery focuses, while ...

Eplerenone inhibits aldosterone-induced CRP generation in rat vascular smooth muscle cells by regulating the MR-ROS-ERK1/2 signal pathway

European Journal of Inflammation, 2017
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in the vessel wall. As a representative inflammatory cytokine, C-reactive protein (CRP) participates in the formation and development of atherosclerosis.

Risk factors for the development of subretinal fluid in the fellow eyes of patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 666-673, September 2026.
Abstract Purpose To assess the risk of subretinal fluid (SRF) development in the fellow eye of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) patients with unilateral SRF at baseline. Methods Medical records of 334 presumed cCSC patients were retrospectively reviewed.

Modulation of the acute defence reaction by eplerenone prevents cardiac disease progression in viral myocarditis

ESC Heart Failure, 2020
Aims Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in viral myocarditis is attributed to myocardial inflammation and fibrosis, inducing acute and long‐time cardiac damage. Interventions are not established.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Complications, Diagnosis, Management, and Emerging Fibrosis‐Linked Remodeling

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent upper‐airway collapse, which generates key nocturnal stressors including intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, intrathoracic pressure stress, and sympathetic activation. These physiological disturbances converge on shared biological mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation ...

Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro‐inflammatory)/M2 (anti‐inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance ...

The Effects of Combined Antihypertensive and Antidiabetic Therapies on Cardiovascular Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 6874-6887, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Hypertension and diabetes frequently coexist, yet the net clinical impact of intentionally combining antihypertensive (AHTN) and antidiabetic (ADA) therapies on cardiovascular (CV) outcomes is uncertain. Here we quantified the effects of AHTN and ADA co‐therapy on CV and blood pressure (BP)/heart rate (HR) outcomes.

Preventive Effect of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists Against Proteinuria Induced by Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Hepatology Research, Volume 56, Issue 8, Page 1225-1234, August 2026.
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists are known to reduce proteinuria in chronic kidney disease, but their effectiveness in preventing bevacizumab‐related proteinuria has not been well established. In the present multi‐institutional retrospective study, we found that these agents significantly delay the onset of moderate or higher grade proteinuria ...
