OBJECT.: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) causes devastating rates of mortality and morbidity. Accumulating studies indicate that early brain injury (EBI) greatly contributes to poor outcomes after SAH oxidative stress plays an important role in the development EBI following SAH. Astaxanthin (ATX), one most common carotenoids, has a powerful antioxidative property. However, potential ATX protecting against remains obscure.

Abstract Only a few types of inflammasomes have been described in central nervous system cells. Among these, the absent melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammasome is primarily found neurons, highly specific and can be activated only by double-stranded DNA. Although it has demonstrated that AIM2 poly(deoxyadenylic-deoxythymidylic) acid sodium salt leads to pyroptotic neuronal cell death, role inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) rarely studied....

Abstract: Objective: Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive drug with a narrow therapeutic range and wide interindividual variation in its pharmacokinetics. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp, encoded by MDR1) play important role the absorption metabolism of tacrolimus. The objective this study was to evaluate whether or not CYP3A5*1/*3 MDR1 C3435T polymorphisms are associated tacrolimus concentration per dose. Methods: CYP3A5 genotypes were determined polymerase chain reaction...

Abstract Introduction Extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation leads to malfunction of the cartilage in osteoarthritis (OA). Inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) functions ECM and prevents synthesis by down-regulating key transcription factor, Sox9 , consequently inhibiting gene expression. Evidence reveals that microRNAs (miRNA) have been associated with OA, but little is known their function chondrocyte degradation. This study aimed identify possible miRNAs mediate IL-1β-induced...
