Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause severe irreversible motor dysfunction and even death. Neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation promote functional recovery after acute SCI in experimental animals, but numerous issues, including low-transplanted survival rate, de-differentiation, tumor formation need to be resolved before routine clinical application is feasible. Recent studies have shown that transplanted cells facilitate regeneration through release of paracrine factors. Small...
Approximately 10% of bone fractures do not heal satisfactorily, leading to significant clinical and socioeconomic implications. Recently, the role macrophages in regulating marrow stem cell (BMSC) differentiation through osteogenic pathway during fracture healing has attracted much attention.

This study aimed assess effects curcumin on NLRP3 in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced macrophages and explore its underlying mechanism. Methods: Human monocytic THP-1 cells were pretreated with for 1 h subsequently induced PMA 48 h. Total protein was collected Western blot analysis. Cytokine interleukin (IL)-1β release nuclear factor...
Ischemia-reperfusion injury is the second most common of spinal cord and has risk neurological dysfunction paralysis, which can seriously affect patient quality life. Salidroside (Sal) an active ingredient extracted from Herba Cistanche with a variety biological attributes such as antioxidant, antiapoptotic, neuroprotective activities. Moreover, Sal shown protective effect in ischemia-reperfusion liver, heart, brain, but its not been elucidated. Here, we demonstrated for first time that...
Background:The JAK/STAT signaling pathway is the main inflammatory signal transduction pathway, whether contributes pathology of SCI and targeting will alleviate needs to be addressed.Here, we explored therapeutic effect pan-JAK inhibitor tofacitinib (TOF) on secondary injury after explained underlying mechanisms.Methods: model in rat was established evaluate effects TOF treatment vivo.Histological behavioral analyses were performed at different time points SCI.In vitro, pro-inflammatory...

Studies have shown that the triterpenoid lupenone, a natural product found in various plants, has remarkable anti-inflammatory effect context of chronic inflammation. However, effects lupenone on acute inflammation induced by spinal injury remain unknown. In this study, we established an impact-induced mouse model injury, and...
We aimed to develop a machine-learning based predictive model identify 30-day readmission risk in Acute heart failure (AHF) patients. In this study 2232 patients hospitalized with AHF were included. The variance inflation factor value and 5-fold cross-validation used select vital clinical variables. Five machine learning algorithms good performance applied models, the discrimination ability was comprehensively evaluated by sensitivity, specificity, area under ROC curve (AUC). Prediction...
The flanker task has been used to investigate the distinct effects of "stimulus interference" (SI) and "response (RI) on performance (e.g., response times). In SI, flankers appear different in appearance from target but are associated with same response. RI, a Interference is greater for RI than SI. We investigated behavioral new kind interference—"imagery interference," which (as SI), (verbal) mental imagery. two experiments, imagery interference yielded more introduce this form hope that...
Background Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) causes severe motor dysfunction and persistent central neuropathic pain (Nep), which has not yet been effectively cured. Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is typically produced by cancer cells contributes to the immune-suppressive in tumor microenvironment. However, role of PD-L1 regulating inflammatory response Nep after SCI remains unclear. A growing amount researches have begun investigate effect on macrophages microglia recent years....
Low back pain (LBP) has been a wide public health concern worldwide. Among the pathogenic factors, intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) one of primary contributors to LBP. IDD correlates closely with inflammatory response and oxidative stress, involving variety inflammation‐related cytokines, such as interleukin 1 beta (IL‐1 β ), which could result in local environment. Ulinastatin (UTI) is kind acidic protein extracted from human urine, inhibits release tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐ α...
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) has been proved to be the dominating cause of disability in patients with lumbar degenerative diseases. Of various etiological factors, intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) cause. In past few decades, role and changes nerve systems, especially peripheral sensory fibers their neurotransmitters, induction progression IVDD have attracted growing concerns. The expression many neuropeptides, such as SP, NPY, CGRP, nociceptive pathways is increased during...
Lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has been the major contributor to low back pain (LBP). IDD is an chronic inflammation process, with activation of plentiful inflammation‐related cytokines and ECM degradation‐related enzymes. In past few years, hypertension reported correlate LBP. addition, local tissue renin‐angiotensin system (tRAS) identified in multiple tissues, including spinal cord, skin, kidney, heart, bone. Recently, tRAS also established both bovine human especially...
A persistent inflammatory response, intrinsic limitations in axonal regenerative capacity, and widespread presence of extrinsic inhibitors impede the restoration motor function after a spinal cord injury (SCI). versatile treatment platform is urgently needed to address diverse clinical manifestations SCI. Herein, we present multifunctional nanoplatform with anisotropic bimodal mesopores for effective neural circuit reconstruction The hierarchical features Janus structure consist dual...
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has been generally accepted as the major cause of low back pain (LBP), which imposes massive clinical and socioeconomic burdens. Previous studies have demonstrated that oxidative stress inflammation-induced senescence apoptosis nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) are main cellular processes IDD. Arginase II (ARG2), an enzyme involved in a variety pathological processes, including senescence, apoptosis, stress, inflammation, shown to promote several...
Abstract Objectives Osteogenesis is coupled with angiogenesis during bone remodelling. G‐protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) kinase 2‐interacting protein‐1 (GIT1) an important protein that participates in fracture healing by regulating angiogenesis.

Osteolytic bone disease is a condition of imbalanced homeostasis, characterized mainly by excessive bone-resorptive activity, which could predispose these populations, such as the old and postmenopausal women, to developing high risk skeletal fragility fracture. The nature homeostasis coordination between osteoblasts (OBs) osteoclasts (OCs). Abnormal activation (OCs) compromise constantly followed clutch osteolytic diseases, including osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis. Thus,...
Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is an independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis (AS), according to overwhelming number clinical and epidemiological studies. However, underlying pathogenic molecular mechanisms by which HHcy promotes AS remain be fully elucidated.
