β-thymosin is known for having 43 amino acids, being water-soluble, a light molecular weight and ubiquitous polypeptide. The biological activities of are diverse include the promotion wound healing, reduction inflammation, differentiation T cells inhibition apoptosis. Our previous studies showed that oyster originated from mantle Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas had antimicrobial activity. In this study, we investigated anti-inflammatory effects in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7...

Lovastatin is a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitor that clinically used for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Although it has been reported lovastatin anti-inflammatory properties in several studies, how regulates inflammation still unclear. To evaluate effect on nitric oxide production (NO) RAW264.7 macrophages, NO assay was performed. Also, cell viability measured to confirm cytotoxicity. Level tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) transcription by reverse polymerase...

Axon regeneration is essential for successful recovery after peripheral nerve injury. Although growth cone reformation and axonal extension are crucial steps in regeneration, the regulatory mechanisms underlying these dynamic processes poorly understood. Here, we identify βPix (Arhgef7), guanine nucleotide exchange factor Rac1 GTPase, as a regulator of regeneration. After sciatic injury mice, expression levels increase significantly segments containing regenerating axons. In regrowing axons,...

Inhibition of over‑activated inflammation has been demonstrated as one the most efficient strategies for treating inflammatory diseases. In present study, 6‑formyl umbelliferone (6FU) was used to evaluate its anti‑inflammatory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. 6FU inhibited chronic processes, including increasing nitric oxide levels, and expression pro‑inflammatory genes producing cytokines investigated by a nitrite assay reverse transcription‑polymerase...

Abstract Extracellular fluid (ECF) excess is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study (involving 284 CKD) explored the association between choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and ECF excess. We categorised into three groups based on extracellular water/total body water: normal, mildly overhydrated, severely overhydrated. The more severe status was associated a lower CVI after adjustment (B = − 0.902, p 0.001). In non-diabetic patients, both vascular luminal (LA, <...
