Mainstream research on mechanisms therapeutic targets of AD focused two important hallmarks, Aβ Tau, but results from clinical studies are not encouraging. Abnormal microglial polarization a clear typical pathological feature in progression AD. Microglia can be neuroprotective by degrading removing Tau. However, under conditions, microglia transform into pro-inflammatory phenotype that...

Abstract Growing evidence indicated that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the apolipoprotein E ( APOE ) gene are related to increase risk of many inflammatory-related diseases. However, few genetic studies have associated polymorphism with sepsis. This study was investigate clinical relevance onset and progression A multicenter case–control association a large sample size (601 septic patients 699 healthy individuals) conducted. Clinical data showed APOEε4 allele overrepresented...

Radiation-induced brain injury is a major adverse event in head and neck tumor treatment, influencing the quality of life for more than 50% patients who undergo radiation therapy experience long-term survival. However, no effective treatments are available these patients, preventative drugs drug-delivery methods must be developed. Based on our results, miR-122-5p was upregulated mouse radiation-induced (RBI) model with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) received therapy. Intranasal...
