Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome in which the host response to infection is dysregulated, leading to circulatory dysfunction and multi-organ damage. It has a high mortality rate and its incidence is increasing year by year, posing a serious threat to human life and health. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have the following properties: hematopoietic support, provision of nutrients, activation of endogenous stem/progenitor cells, repair of tissue damage, elimination of inflammation, immunomodulation, promotion of neovascularization, chemotaxis and migration, anti-apoptosis, anti-oxidation, anti-fibrosis, homing, and many other effects. A large number of studies have confirmed that MSC from different sources have their own characteristics. This article reviews the pathogenesis of sepsis, the biological properties of MSC, and the advantages and disadvantages of different sources of MSC for the treatment of sepsis and their characteristics. dysregulated multiorgan multi organ damage health (MSC support nutrients stemprogenitor progenitor inflammation immunomodulation neovascularization migration antiapoptosis, antiapoptosis anti apoptosis, apoptosis anti-apoptosis antioxidation, antioxidation oxidation, oxidation anti-oxidation antifibrosis, antifibrosis fibrosis, fibrosis anti-fibrosis homing effects characteristics

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a critical, life-threatening condition marked by severe inflammation and impaired lung function. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) present a promising therapeutic avenue due to their immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative capabilities. This review comprehensively evaluates MSC-based strategies for ARDS treatment, including direct administration, tissue engineering, extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanoparticles, natural products, artificial intelligence (AI), gene modification, and MSC preconditioning. Direct MSC administration has demonstrated therapeutic potential but necessitates optimization to overcome challenges related to effective cell delivery, homing, and integration into damaged lung tissue. Tissue engineering methods, such as 3D-printed scaffolds and MSC sheets, enhance MSC survival and functionality within lung tissue. EVs and MSC-derived nanoparticles offer scalable and safer alternatives to cell-based therapies. Likewise, natural products and bioactive compounds derived from plants can augment MSC function and resilience, offering complementary strategies to enhance therapeutic outcomes. In addition, AI technologies could aid in optimizing MSC delivery and dosing, and gene editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9 allow precise modification of MSCs to enhance their therapeutic properties and target specific ARDS mechanisms. Preconditioning MSCs with hypoxia, growth factors, or pharmacological agents further enhances their therapeutic potential. While MSC therapies hold significant promise for ARDS, extensive research and clinical trials are essential to determine optimal protocols and ensure long-term safety and effectiveness.

The goal of this study was to digitally evaluate the development of maxillary dental arches of children with unilateral cleft lip and palate treated with one- and two-stage palatal closure. One hundred and sixty-eight digitized dental models of cheiloplasty and one-stage palatoplasty (G1) and cheiloplasty and two-stage palatoplasty (G2) were evaluated at preoperative time 1 (T1), preoperative time 2 (T2), and postoperative (T3). The following surface distances were evaluated: across surface distance; cleft widths anterior (P-P′) and posterior (U-U′) cleft widths, intercanine width (C-C′), and intertuberosity width (T-T′); smallest (P′-T′) and largest (P-T) segment lengths; and smallest (C′-D′) and largest (C-D) segment cleft depths. In G1, P-P′, U-U′, and C-C′ reduced at T2, unlike P′-T′ (P<0.05). P-T and C′-D′ distances increased at T3 (P<0.05), while C-D increased at all stages (P<0.001). In G2, U-U′ and C-C′ reduced at T2 (P<0.05), while P′-T′, P-T, C′-D′, and C-D′ increased at T3 (P<0.001). In an intergroup analysis of growth rate, G2 showed higher growth percentages compared to G1, in which C′-D′ was significant (P=0.038). Furthermore, C′-D′ presented a coefficient of determination of 0.076 (P=0.039). In conclusion, dental arch development is influenced by the rehabilitation protocol. However, in the sample evaluated, the comparison suggested that individuals whose palate was operated on in two stages had the most favorable palatal growth. one twostage stage closure sixtyeight sixty eight onestage G1 G (G1 (G2 T1, T1 T , (T1) (T2) T3. .

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to be a leading cause of death globally, with distinct immune cell dynamics in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) playing a critical role in disease progression and patient outcomes. Sample data for STEMI and NSTEMI were downloaded from the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra). Differences and correlations of immune infiltrating cells were assessed by CIBERSORT. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between STEMI and NSTEMI, followed by functional analysis. Immune-related DEGs were further identified. Some immune-related DEGs were selected to perform expression verification using real-time PCR. There was a significant difference in immune cells between STEMI and NSTEMI, including activated dendritic cells, memory CD4 T cells, mast cells, and CD8 T cells. A total of 229 DEGs were identified, with functions related to inflammatory regulation and drug metabolism. A total of 21 immune-related DEGs, which may play important roles in STEMI and NSTEMI, were identified. Among the 21 immune-related DEGs, genes like CCL18, NRP2, CXCR2, CXCL9, KIR2DL4, BPIFB1, and IL33 were significantly correlated with immune cells and had a tendency for differential expression between STEMI and NSTEMI patients. Our study reveals differences in the distribution of immune cell subsets between STEMI and NSTEMI, highlighting key immune-related genes and their association with immune cells, which may provide new insights into the treatment of AMI.

Emerging evidence demonstrates that curcumin has an inhibitory effect on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and its targets and mechanism of action need further exploration. The goal of this study was to explore the potential targets and mechanism of curcumin against NSCLC by network pharmacology, bioinformatics, and experimental validation, thereby providing more insight into combination treatment with curcumin for NSCLC in preclinical and clinical research. Curcumin targets against NSCLC were predicted based on HIT2.0, STD, CTD, and DisGeNET, and the core targets were analyzed via protein-protein interaction network construction (PPI), Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and molecular docking. The gene expression levels of samples in A549 cells, NCI-H460, and curcumin treated groups were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. A total of 67 common targets between curcumin and NSCLC were collected by screening public databases. GO and KEGG analysis suggested that curcumin treatment of NSCLC mainly involves cancer-related pathways, such as PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, Foxo signaling pathway, microRNAs, MAPK signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, etc. The targets with the highest degree were identified through the PPI network, namely CASP3, CTNNB1, JUN, IL6, MAPK3, HIF1A, STAT3, AKT1, TP53, CCND1, VEGFA, and EGFR. The results of the in vitro experiments showed that curcumin treatment of NSCLC down-regulated the gene expressions of CCND1, CASP3, HIF1A, IL-6, MAPK3, STAT3, AKT1, and TP53. Our findings revealed that curcumin functions as a potential therapeutic candidate for NSCLC by suppressing multiple signaling pathways and interacting with multiple gene targets. nonsmall non small NSCLC, , (NSCLC) exploration pharmacology bioinformatics validation research HIT20 HIT HIT2 0 HIT2.0 STD CTD DisGeNET proteinprotein protein PPI, (PPI) GO, (GO) KEGG, (KEGG) docking A54 cells NCIH460, NCIH460 NCIH NCI H460, H460 H NCI-H460 realtime real time PCR 6 databases cancerrelated related PI3KAKT PIKAKT PI3K AKT PI K pathway microRNAs HIF1 HIF 1 HIF- etc CASP3 CASP CTNNB1 CTNNB JUN IL6 IL MAPK3 HIF1A HIFA STAT3 STAT AKT1 TP53 TP CCND1 CCND VEGFA EGFR downregulated down regulated 6, IL-6 (NSCLC HIT2.

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an established therapeutic strategy for intermediate stage Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, patients who are early refractory to TACE may not benefit from repeated TACE treatment. Our primary objective was to assess the diagnostic value of inflammatory markers in identifying early TACE refractory for patients with early (BCLC 0 and A) or intermediate (BCLC B) stage HCC. We retrospectively reviewed the HCC patients who underwent TACE as the initial treatment in two hospitals. Patients with early TACE refractoriness had significantly poorer median overall survival (OS) (16 vs 40 months, P<0.001) and progression-free survival (PFS) (7 vs 23 months, P<0.001) compared to TACE non-refractory patients. In the multivariate regression analysis, tumor size (P<0.001), bilobular invasion (P=0.007), high aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) (P=0.007), and high alpha fetoprotein (AFP) level (P=0.035) were independent risk factors for early TACE refractoriness. The predictive model showcasing these factors exhibited high ability proficiency, with an area under curve (AUC) of 0.833 (95%CI=0.774-0.892) in the training cohort, 0.750 (95%CI: 0.640-0.861) in the internal-validation cohort, and 0.733 (95%CI: 0.594-0.872) in the external-validation cohort. Calibration curve analysis revealed good agreement between the actual and predicted probabilities of early TACE refractoriness. Our preliminary study estimated the potential value of inflammatory markers in predicting early TACE refractoriness and provides a predictive model to assist in identifying patients who may not benefit from repeat TACE treatment.

Cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) relieves physical and psychological burdens in patients with some central nervous system diseases, while its utility in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients is unclear. This study aimed to explore the effect of CBSM on neurologic recovery and psychosomatic health in AIS patients. Totally, 176 naive AIS patients were randomized into routine care (RC) group (n=88) and CBSM group (n=88) to receive a 3-month corresponding intervention. Modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores at the first month after discharge (M1) (P=0.008) and the third month after discharge (M3) (P=0.016) were lower in the CBSM group than in the RC group. The proportion of AIS patients with mRS score >2 at M3 was reduced in CBSM group vs RC group (P=0.045). Hospital anxiety depression scale (HADS)-anxiety score at M3 (P=0.016), HADS-depression score at M3 (P=0.005), and depression rate at M3 (P=0.021) were decreased in the CBSM group vs the RC group. EuroQol-5 dimension scores at M1 (P=0.024) and M3 (P=0.012) were decreased, while EuroQol-visual analogue scale score at M3 (P=0.026) was increased in the CBSM group vs the RC group. By subgroup analyses, CBSM had favorable outcomes in AIS patients with age ≤65 years. CBSM was beneficial to neurologic recovery and distress relief in AIS patients with an education level of middle school or above, and to health status in those with an education level of primary school or uneducated. In conclusion, CBSM benefitted neurologic recovery and psychosomatic health in AIS patients with minor neurological deficits, however, further studies should verify these results with a larger sample size and longer follow-up.

The clinical application of 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu), a potent chemotherapeutic agent, is often hindered by its well-documented cardiotoxic effects. Nevertheless, natural polyphenolic compounds like resveratrol (RES), known for their dual anti-tumor and cardioprotective properties, are potential adjunct therapeutic agents. In this investigation, we examined the combined utilization of RES and 5-Fu for the inhibition of gastric cancer using both in vitro and in vivo models, as well as their combined impact on cardiac cytotoxicity. Our study revealed that the co-administration of RES and 5-Fu effectively suppressed MFC cell viability, migration, and invasion, while also reducing tumor weight and volume. Mechanistically, the combined treatment prompted p53-mediated apoptosis and autophagy, leading to a considerable anti-tumor effect. Notably, RES mitigated the heightened oxidative stress induced by 5-Fu in cardiomyocytes, suppressed p53 and Bax expression, and elevated Bcl-2 levels. This favorable influence enhanced primary cardiomyocyte viability, decreased apoptosis and autophagy, and mitigated 5-Fu-induced cardiotoxicity. In summary, our findings suggested that RES holds promise as an adjunct therapy to enhance the efficacy of gastric cancer treatment in combination with 5-Fu, while simultaneously mitigating cardiotoxicity. 5fluorouracil fluorouracil 5 5Fu, 5Fu Fu , (5-Fu) agent welldocumented documented effects Nevertheless RES, (RES) antitumor anti properties agents investigation models cytotoxicity coadministration co administration viability migration invasion volume Mechanistically p53mediated pmediated mediated p autophagy effect Notably cardiomyocytes p5 expression Bcl2 Bcl 2 Bcl- levels 5Fuinduced Fuinduced cardiotoxicity summary Fu, (5-Fu (RES

NLRP1, the first identified inflammasome-forming sensor, is thought to be involved in cancer, yet its definite function in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear. Herein, we explored the expression and function of NLRP1 in LUAD. Decreased NLRP1 expression was identified in LUAD, which was associated with a poor prognosis. Overexpression of NLRP1 inhibited tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Mechanically, this effect was observed regardless of inflammasome activation. Further studies revealed that overexpression of NLRP1 downregulated the phosphorylation of DRP1 and promoted mitochondrial fusion, which was mediated by inhibition of NF-κB activity. NF-κB agonist could neutralize the effect of NLRP1 on mitochondrial dynamics. In addition, LUAD sensitivity to cisplatin was enhanced by decreased mitochondrial fission resulting from up-regulated NLRP1. In conclusion, our findings demonstrated an unexpected role of NLRP1 in LUAD by modulating mitochondrial activities, which provides strong evidence for its potential in LUAD treatment.

Silicosis is a systemic disease caused by long-term exposure to high concentrations of free silica dust particles in the workplace. It is characterized by a persistent inflammatory response, fibroblast proliferation, and excessive collagen deposition, leading to pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. Epithelial interstitial transformation (EMT) can cause epithelial cells to lose their tight junctions, cell polarity, and epithelial properties, thereby enhancing the properties of interstitial cells, which can lead to the progression of fibrosis and the formation of scar tissue. Integrin 1 (ITGB1) is considered an important factor for promoting EMT and tumor invasion in a variety of tumors and also plays an important role in the progression of fibrotic diseases. Therefore, ITGB1 can be used as a potential target for the treatment of silicosis. In this study, we found that silica exposure induced epithelial-mesenchymal transformation in rats and that the expression of integrin ITGB1 was elevated along with the EMT. We used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to construct integrin ITGB1 knockdown cell lines for in vitro experiments. We compared the expression of the EMT key proteins E-cadherin and vimentin in the ITGB1 knockdown cells and wild-type cells simultaneously stimulated by silica and detected the aggregation point distribution of E-cadherin and vimentin in the cells using laser confocal microscopy. Our results showed that ITGB1 knockout inhibited the ITGB1/ILK/Snail signaling pathway and attenuated the EMT occurrence compared to control cells. These results suggested that ITGB1 is associated with silica-induced EMT and may be a potential target for the treatment of silicosis. longterm long term workplace response proliferation deposition (EMT junctions polarity tissue ITGB (ITGB1 diseases Therefore silicosis study epithelialmesenchymal mesenchymal CRISPRCas9 CRISPRCas CRISPR Cas9 Cas CRISPR/Cas experiments Ecadherin E cadherin wildtype wild type microscopy ITGB1ILKSnail ITGBILKSnail ILK Snail silicainduced (ITGB ILKSnail

We investigated the value of plasma cytokine levels as markers of pathogenesis and treatment response in patients with non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease. Plasma cytokine levels were measured and compared among patients with NTM pulmonary disease (n=111), tuberculosis (TB) patients (n=50), and healthy individuals (n=40). Changes during treatment were monitored at 3 and 6 months after treatment. According to the treatment response, NTM patients were classified as ‘resistance' or ‘sensitivity' responders. The results revealed that five out of twelve cytokines exhibited significantly higher levels in NTM patients compared to controls. Among these, interleukin (IL)-6 demonstrated the strongest discriminating capacity for NTM. Furthermore, when combined with IL-1β, they efficiently distinguished between NTM drug-resistant and drug-sensitive patients, as well as between NTM and TB groups. Additionally, IL-6 levels initially rose and then decreased in the NTM drug-resistant group during the six months of treatment, similar to the behavior of IL-1β in the NTM drug-sensitive group. Subgroup analyses of the sensitive group with differential treatment responses revealed an increase in IL-10 levels in the six-month treatment responders. A high IL-6/IL-10 ratio was associated with increased disease severity of NTM and TB. Collectively, combinations of various plasma cytokines, specifically IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10, effectively distinguished NTM patients with varying mycobacterial burdens, with IL-6 and IL-10 emerging as potential biomarkers for early treatment response. The combination of IL-6 and IL-1β demonstrated the highest discriminatory value for distinguishing between NTM-resistant and NTM-sensitive groups as well as between NTM and TB groups. nontuberculous non tuberculous (NTM n=111, n111 n n=111 , 111 (n=111) (TB n=50, n50 n=50 50 (n=50) n=40. n40 n=40 . 40 (n=40) ‘resistance resistance ‘sensitivity sensitivity responders controls these IL6 IL (IL)- Furthermore IL1β, IL1β ILβ 1β, 1β β drugresistant drug resistant drugsensitive Additionally IL- IL10 10 IL-1 sixmonth month IL6/IL10 IL6IL10 ILIL 6/IL IL-6/IL-1 Collectively IL6, 6, IL10, 10, burdens NTMresistant NTMsensitive n11 n=11 11 (n=111 n5 n=5 5 (n=50 n4 n=4 4 (n=40 (IL) IL1 1 IL6/IL1 IL6IL1 6IL IL-6/IL- n1 n=1 (n=11 n= (n=5 (n=4 (IL IL6/IL IL6IL IL-6/IL (n=1 (n= (n

Considering the lack of consensus related to the impact of selective IL-6 receptor inhibition on bone remodeling and the scarcity of reports, especially on large bone defects, this study proposed to evaluate the biological impact of the selective inhibitor of interleukin-6 receptor (tocilizumab) in an experimental model of critical calvarial defect in rats. In this preclinical and in vivo study, 24 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups (n=12/group): defect treated with collagen sponge (CG) and defect treated with collagen sponge associated with 2 mg/kg tocilizumab (TCZ). The defect in the parietal bone was created using an 8-mm diameter trephine drill. After 90 days, the animals were euthanized, and tissue samples (skull caps) were evaluated through micro-CT, histological, immunohistochemistry, cytokines, and RT-qPCR analyses. Tocilizumab reduced mononuclear inflammatory infiltration (P<0.05) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels (P<0.01) and down-regulated tissue gene expression of BMP-2 (P<0.001), RUNX-2 (P<0.05), and interleukin (IL)-6 (P<0.05). Moreover, it promoted a stronger immunostaining of cathepsin and RANKL (P<0.05). Micro-CT and histological analyses revealed no impact on general bone formation (P>0.05). The bone cells (osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes) in the defect area were similar in both groups (P>0.05). Tocilizumab reduced inflammatory cytokines, decreased osteogenic protein, and increased proteases in a critical bone defect in rats. Ninety days after the local application of tocilizumab in the cranial defect, we did not find a significant formation of bone tissue compared with a collagen sponge.

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) have robust potential functions and therapeutic value in breast cancer. Herein, we investigated the role SNORA5A in breast cancer. Samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were reviewed. The transcription matrix and clinical information were analyzed using R software and validated in clinical tissue samples. SNORA5A was significantly down-regulated in breast cancer, and high expression of SNORA5A correlated with a favorable prognosis. High expression of SNORA5A induced a high concentration of tumor-associated macrophages M1 and a low concentration of tumor-associated macrophages M2. Moreover, SNORA5A were clustered in terms related to cancer and immune functions. Possible downstream molecules of SNORA5A were identified, among which TRAF3IP3 was positively correlated with M1 and negatively correlated with M2. The function of TRAF3IP3 in tumor inhibition and its relationship with macrophages in clinical tissue samples were in accordance with bioinformatics analysis results. SNORA5A could regulate macrophage phenotypes through TRAF3IP3 and serves as a potential prognostic marker for breast cancer patients. snoRNAs (snoRNAs Herein SNORAA SNORA A TCGA (TCGA reviewed downregulated down regulated prognosis tumorassociated associated M M2 Moreover identified TRAFIP TRAF IP TRAF3IP results patients

Previous studies show that glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3B) plays an important role in tumorigenesis. However, its role in cervical cancer is unclear. The present study silenced GSK3B with siRNAs and/or chemical inhibitors to determine its role in HeLa cervical cancer cell proliferation and migration as well as in xenograft tumor growth. Cell Counting Kit (CCK)-8 and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays were used to determine cell survival and proliferation. Scratch and Transwell® assays were used to evaluate cell migration. Xenograft tumors were used to evaluate the effect of GSK3B on tumor growth. Transcriptomic sequencing was used to clarify the mechanisms underlying the foregoing processes. Public databases and clinical specimens showed that GSK3B was upregulated in cervical cancer tissues and correlated with poor prognosis. In vitro experiments indicated that GSK3B inhibition reduced cell viability, proliferation, and migration. In vivo experiments demonstrated that GSK3B inhibition slowed xenograft tumor growth. Transcriptomic sequencing revealed that GSK3B inhibition modulated the phosphatidylinositol 3-carboxykinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) and extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction signaling pathways. GSK3B inhibition decreased the protein levels of phosphorylated PI3K and Akt and the levels of mesenchymal markers but increased those of epithelial markers. An activator of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway counteracted the suppressive effects of GSK3B inhibition on HeLa cell viability and proliferation and on PI3K/Akt signaling. Our data suggested that GSK3B regulated cervical cancer cell proliferation and migration by modulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). β GSKB GSK (GSK3B tumorigenesis However unclear andor or growth CCK8 CCK 8 (CCK)- 5ethynyl2deoxyuridine ethynyldeoxyuridine 5 ethynyl 2 deoxyuridine EdU (EdU Transwell processes prognosis 3carboxykinase carboxykinase 3 PI3K/protein PI3Kprotein PIKprotein /protein PI K (Akt ECMreceptor ECM receptor pathways PIK PI3KAkt PIKAkt epithelialtomesenchymal EMT.
