BACKGROUND Steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1/AdBP4/FTZF1, NR5A1) is a nuclear receptor transcription that plays key role in regulating adrenal and gonadal development, steroidogenesis reproduction. Recently, haploinsufficiency of SF1 has been described several 46,XY individuals with mild dysgenesis impaired androgenization, but normal function, suggesting dosage-sensitive or domain-specific effects action are important human testicular development function. Our objective was to investigate whether...
A LC−MS based method, which utilizes both reversed-performance (RP) chromatography and hydrophilic interaction (HILIC) separations, has been carried out in conjunction with multivariate data analysis to discriminate the global serum profiles of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients healthy controls. The HILIC was found necessary for a comprehensive metabonomic profiling as well RP separation. feasibility using metabonomics diagnosis staging RCC evaluated. One-hundred percent sensitivity...
Cell-cell communication via Wnt ligands is necessary in regulating embryonic development and has been implicated CKD. Because are ubiquitously expressed, the exact cellular source of Wnts involved CKD remains undefined. To address this issue, we generated two conditional knockout mouse lines which Wntless (Wls), a dedicated cargo receptor that obligatory for secretion, was selectively ablated tubular epithelial cells or interstitial fibroblasts. Blockade secretion by genetic deletion Wls...
Treatment of functional dyspepsia is difficult due to various pathophysiological factors. The proposed method transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation improves symptoms both and depression/anxiety, gastric functions (accommodation slow waves), possibly mediated via the enhancement efferent activity. This noninvasive easy-to-implement neuromodulation will be well received by patients healthcare providers.
Probiotic supplements were shown to improve cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. However, it is still unclear whether this applies older individuals with mild impairment (MCI). We aimed explore the effects of probiotic supplementation on multiple neural behaviors adults MCI. Forty-two MCI patients (age > 60 years) randomly divided into two groups and consumed either probiotics (n=21) or placebo for 12 weeks. Various scale scores, gut microbiota measures serological...
To investigate the relationship between gender and symptomatology, psychological factors, quality of life (QOL) in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).The diagnosis IBS was made on basis Rome III Criteria. A physician obtained demographic symptom data, Zung Self-Rated Anxiety Depression Scale scores (SAS/SDS), IBS-specific quality-of-life ratings (IBS-QOL).Of 4015 patients approached, 452 were diagnosed with IBS. Age ranged from 14 to 79 years (44.05 ± 14.89 years) male female ratio 1 : 1.3. The...
Abstract Recent research suggested that taking a high‐fat diet (HFD) may lead to gut microbiota imbalance and colon tissue damage. This would increased intestinal permeability consequent constant circulation of low‐grade inflammatory cytokines. Spirulina platensis can protect against HFD‐induced metabolic inflammation stimulate the growth beneficial bacteria in vitro stool cultures. However, it is unknown whether this effect acts on tissues. In study, rats were fed with 3% S for 14 weeks. We...
Background Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remain ineffective in a large group of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, population unconventional innate-like lymphocytes abundant the human body, play important roles malignancies. Little is known about immune characteristics MAIT cells NSCLC and correlation with prognosis response rate ICIs treatment. Methods To investigate distribution, activation status, function patients their...
Gastrointestinal symptoms are more prevalent in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) than typically developing (TD) children. Constipation is a significant gastrointestinal comorbidity of ASD, but the associations among constipated (C-ASD), microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) still debated. We enrolled 80 children, divided into C-ASD group (n = 40) TD 40). In this study, an integrated 16S rRNA gene sequencing gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolomics approach...
The A-type potassium channel subunit Kv4.2 influences hippocampal function through regulation of dendritic excitability, and changes in surface expression alter synaptic plasticity. Recent data from our laboratory demonstrate that EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein)-tagged channels located spines are internalized an activity-dependent manner after stimulation during chemically induced long-term potentiation. However, the molecular trigger for internalization remains unknown. Here we...
