Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease connections with fat-free tissues: A focus on bone and skeletal muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The estimates of global incidence and prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are worrisome, due to the parallel burden of obesity and its metabolic complications. Indeed, excess adiposity and insulin resistance represent two of the major

Neuronal Cholesterol Deficiency Mediated by Astrocytic SREBP2 Downregulation Leads to Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction Through Impairment of Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity and Excitatory Synaptic Transmission

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The results showed that the reduction of plasma 24‐hydroxycholesterol (24‐OHC) was related to the cognitive decline in elderly surgical patients. Neuroinflammation induced by anesthesia and surgery significantly downregulated SREBP2 in hippocampal reactive astrocytes, resulting in reduced cholesterol synthesis.

Multimodal AI‐Driven Identification of Dehydrocostus Lactone as a Potent Renal Fibrosis Attenuator Targeting IQGAP1

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Renal fibrosis, a hallmark of CKD, lacks effective treatments. Herein, we developed a multimodal AI model (TCM‐SPred) to identify anti‐fibrotic agents and found that dehydrocostus lactone (DCL) targets IQGAP1 to inhibit Wnt signaling, blocking the interaction between IQGAP1 and CCT3, demonstrating potent anti‐fibrotic activity in vitro and in vivo ...

Change-of-direction speed and aerobic fitness could influence academy graduation in law enforcement recruit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: Technical advancements have produced many challenges to intramedullary implants for unstable pertrochanteric fractures. Helical blade fixation of the femoral head has the theoretical advantages of higher rotational stability and cutout ...

Mechanical Strain‐Programmed SDC1+ Sheath Fibroblasts Trigger CXCR4hi Neutrophil‐Mediated Enthesitis in Ankylosing Spondylitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In ankylosing spondylitis (AS), mechanical strain‐programmed SDC1+ sheath fibroblasts secrete CXCL5 to recruit neutrophils and promote the activation of CXCR4hi neutrophils, thereby exacerbating enthesitis by promoting neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation. SOX5 controls the generation of SDC1+ sheath fibroblasts via super‐enhancers.

CGRP Enhances the Regeneration of Bone Defects by Regulating Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Through Promoting ANGPTL4 Secretion by Bone Blood Vessels

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CGRP interacts with HMEC‐1 by binding to surface receptors, influencing the downstream FAK/AKT/VEGF signaling pathway, and promoting the secretion of ANGPTL4 from vascular endothelial cells into the bone microenvironment. This, in turn, regulates the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts, thus promoting bone formation. ABSTRACT Bone angiogenesis is

Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry diagnostic discordance between Z scores and T scores in a young Iranian population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is considered the gold standard for non-invasive measurement of bone mass. T-scores and Z-scores are used to present the results of bone mass. The present study was designed to evaluate the discordance
