Activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway restores N-acetylcysteine-induced impairment of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis negative feedback by up-regulating GRα expression and down-regulating GRβ expression into pituitary glands

Frontiers in Endocrinology
We previously showed that antioxidants induced an impairment of negative feedback of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in rats, in parallel to a down-regulation of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor

Hydroxychloroquine Associated with Lower Glomerular Filtration Rate Decline in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) protects kidney function in lupus nephritis (LN) by preventing flares, yet some cohort studies show no significant benefit in kidney function with HCQ. Clarifying these conflicting findings by showing early and long‐term benefits of HCQ on kidney function preservation is critical. Therefore, we analyzed data from our

LOXHD1 and RHOB Expression by Monocytes Predicts Progressive Systemic Sclerosis associated Interstitial Lung Disease

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective A leading cause of death among scleroderma (SSc) patients, interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains challenging to prognosticate. The discovery of biomarkers that accurately determine which patients would benefit from close monitoring and aggressive therapy would be an essential clinical tool.

IgG4-associated sclerosing cholangitis: a diagnosis that may change the course of events (review of the literature and a clinical case)

Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2018
Immunoglobulin G4-associated sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) can mimic primary sclerosing cholangitis, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Its proper diagnosis allows for an adequate therapy and an improvement of the outcomes. The article

Adipokines and Associations with Incident Osteoporotic Fracture in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Purpose We assessed whether circulating adipokines are associated with incident fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Three adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, fibroblast growth factor [FGF]‐21) were measured using banked enrollment serum from participants in a longitudinal RA cohort.

Microglia and their regulatory mechanisms in the brain

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2014
Microglia are one of the major glial cells in the brain implicated in the immune reactions in the central nervous system. Although the other major types of glial cells, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and NG2 glia (or oligodendrocyte progenitor cells: OPCs)

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Modulates Th17/Treg Balance via JAK/STAT Pathway in ARDS Rats

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) alleviates lung and intestinal injury in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in rats. This study demonstrates that FMT restores the balance between Th17 and Treg cells, inhibits the JAK/STAT pathway, and modulates cytokine levels, reducing inflammation and lung damage. These
