RESUMEN

Objective:To explore the mechanism of zoledronic acid (ZOL) affects osteogenic differentiation and bone formation through the regulation of sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) / P53 expression.Methods:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were induced to differentiate into osteogenic cells, the expression of SIRT3 in the cells was detected, and the targeting regulation relationship between SIRT3 and P53 was analyzed. The intracellular expressions of SIRT3 and P53 were intervened and ZOL was used to treat the cells. MTT method, Western blot method and kit were used to detect cell viability, osteogenesis-related genes Osteoprotegerin (OPG), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) expression, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and alizarin red S (ARS) staining, respectively. Ovariectomy (OVX) was used to construct a rat model and explore the effect of ZOL on the progression of osteoporosis (OP) in vivo.Results:ZOL promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. The expression of SIRT3 was down-regulated in the serum of OP patients (0.78±0.23) compared with that of healthy subjects (1.00±0.26 vs. 0.78±0.23. t=3.85, P<0.001). During the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, the expression level of SIRT3 gradually increased with the prolonged induction of osteogenesis. Compared with the p53 protein expression and BMSCs activity in the control group, SIRT3 knockout could increase the expression level of p53 protein (0.59±0.05 vs. 1.01±0.11. t=6.02, P=0.004) but inhibited the activity of BMSCs (100.00±8.41 vs. 51.26±5.59. t=8.36, P=0.001). After ZOL treatment, the inhibitory effect of SIRT3 on cell viability (49.61±5.11 vs. 87.61±7.31. t=7.38, P=0.002) and osteogenesis was relieved, and the level of P53 was inhibited (1.10±0.10 vs. 0.69±0.04. t=6.59, P=0.003). P53 overexpression partially offseted the effects of ZOL on cell viability (84.61±6.52 vs. 66.54±5.47. t=3.68, P=0.021) and osteogenesis. Compared with the sham surgery group, the OVX group showed inhibition of osteogenesis in rats, and ZOL treatment significantly improved osteogenic inhibition. ZOL treatment increased the expression level of SIRT3 protein in bone tissue of OVX rats, but inhibited the expression level of P53. Conclusion:ZOL promoted osteogenic differentiation and bone formation of BMSCs by promoting the ubiquitination and degradation of P53 by SIRT3.

RESUMEN

In the context of modern medicine， it’s difficult for doctors lacking narrative thinking to get into the hearts of patients and offer high-quality medical service. Precise classification terms and decontextualized abstract language have become communication barriers between doctors and patients， creating an atmosphere of unusual indifference and fear during the medical process. William Osler， the father of modern medicine， emphasized that doctors should respect the individuality of patients， and advocated that doctors should use life-oriented language to provide humanistic care to patients. This echoes the concept of the “doctor-patient narrative community” in the construction of the Chinese narrative medicine system. As a brand new clinical humanistic practice path， narrative medicine focuses on the keyword “narrative” and revolves around the theme of “inter-subjective relationship” in the medical context， advocates that doctors switch flexibly in the two references of science and life， achieve visual fusion with patients and their families， pay attention to patients’ life experiences， and establish narrative connections with them. On this basis， it can achieve two-way narrative interaction， build a harmonious doctor-patient narrative community， and thus enhance the patient’s medical experience.

RESUMEN

Non-infectious uveitis, an autoimmune disease that can cause severe visual impairment, can be difficult to treat. According to the prevailing hypothesis, the immune-mediated imbalance that contributes to non-infectious uveitis is primarily driven by CD4+T cells. However, recent research has shown that B cells also play a significant role in this process, participating in various ways such as antibody production, antigen presentation, and cytokine secretion in both human uveitis and experimental autoimmune uveitis models. Therapies targeting B cells have been used extensively in various autoimmune diseases. Rituximab, a B-cell inhibitor, is effective in treating noninfectious uveitis that is unresponsive to conventional corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapy. This paper provides an overview of the involvement of B cells in non-infectious uveitis and their potential use in cellular therapies, aiming to further investigate the mechanisms and develop more effective strategies for prevention and treatment.

The parity split-half coefficient of the formal version of FMS-IW was 0.870. The test-retest reliability of the formal version of FMS-IW was 0.823. Conclusion:The FMS-IW has good reliability and validity, and can be used as an effective tool to measure fertility motivation in infertile women.

RESUMEN

Metabolic regulation has been proven to play a critical role in T cell antitumor immunity. However, cholesterol metabolism as a key component of this regulation remains largely unexplored. Herein, we found that the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), which has been previously identified as a transporter for cholesterol, plays a pivotal role in regulating CD8

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the clinicopathological features and types of genic mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) in colorectal cancer (CRC).@*METHODS@#Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of MMR proteins in 1394 patients with CRC, and PCR-capillary electrophoresis (PCR-CE) was used to detect microsatellite instability (MSI) in 106 cases of defective MMR (dMMR), 46 cases of proficient MMR (pMMR) with heterogeneous expression and 147 randomly selected cases of pMMR. The relationship between the expressions of MMR proteins and the clinicopathological features of the patients was evaluated. The consistency between the results of immunohistochemistry and PCR-CE was assessed.@*RESULTS@#Immunohistochemical staining showed an incidence of dMMR of 7.6% in the patients. The main type of dMMR was co-deletion of MLH1 and PMS2, accounting for 55.7% of the total dMMR cases. The deletion of MMR proteins was significantly correlated with the patients' age, tumor location, tumor size, gross type, histological type, degree of differentiation, lymph node status and TNM stage (@*CONCLUSIONS@#The main type of dMMR is co-deletion of MLH1 and PMS2 in patients with colorectal cancer. dMMR colorectal cancer has typical clinicopathological features and a lower incidence in China than in Western countries. The results of immunohistochemistry and PCR-CE are highly consistent for detecting dMMR in colorectal cancer patients.

RESUMEN

Microbial components and the endogenous molecules released from damaged cells can stimulate germ-line-encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to transduce signals to the hub of the innate immune signaling network-the adaptor proteins MyD88/TRIF/MAVS/STING/Caspase-1, where integrated signals relay to the relevant transcription factors IRF3/IRF7/NF-κB/ AP-1 and the signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) to trigger the expression of type I interferons and inflammatory cytokines or the assembly of inflammasomes. Most pleiotropic cytokines are secreted and bind to specific receptors, activating the signaling pathways including JAK-STAT for the proliferation, differentiation and functional capacity of immune cells. This review focuses on several critical adaptors in innate immune signaling cascades and recent progress in their molecular mechanisms.
