Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to investigate the morphology of the prostate tissues. The concentration of inflammatory factors in prostate tissues was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

P69 cell proliferation was assessed by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide. Furthermore, the activity of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway was determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction or Western blot assay. Histopathological data suggested that dioscin exerted protective effects against prostate morphological changes. Dioscin inhibits inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress (OS) in prostate tissues in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, dioscin notably inhibited the activation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in CP rats. <jats:italic>In vitro</jats:italic>, dioscin remarkably reduced lipopolysaccharide-induced P69 proliferation, inflammation, OS, and TLR4/NF-κB pathway activation in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, dioscin exerts a protective effect in CP by decreasing the inflammatory response and OS through the TLR4/NF-κB pathways. Our findings provide a novel latent therapy for dioscin for the treatment and prevention of CP.","PeriodicalId":19715,"journal":{"name":"Open Medicine","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aimed to develop ANN models to precisely predict FLD. Methods Of 12,058 participants undergoing the initial FLD screening, 7,990 eligible participants were included. A total of 6,309 participants were divided randomly into the training (4,415 participants, 70%) and validation (1,894 participants, 30%) sets for developing prediction models. The performance of ANNs was additionally tested in the testing set (1,681 participants). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was employed to assess the models’ performance.

Although slightly inferior to the other three models in performance (AUROC ranges: 0.89–0.92 vs 0.91–0.95), the 2-variable model showed 80.3% accuracy and 89.7% positive predictive value in the testing.

Method Here, 122 sTAAD patients and 98 healthy individuals were recruited, and 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms were selected and analyzed (FBN1 rs10519177, rs1036477, rs2118181, MYH11 rs115364997, rs117593370, TGFβ1 rs1800469, TGFβ2 rs900, TGFβR2 rs764522, rs1036095, and rs6785385).

In the low prostate total specific antigen (tPSA) group, there was no statistically significant difference in the detection rate of prostate cancer between the two biopsy modalities. However, compared with systematic puncture, targeted puncture had a higher detection rate for csPCa and a lower detection rate for clinically insignificant prostate cancer (ciPCa), and the difference was statistically significant. In the high tPSA group, there was no significant difference in the detection rate of PCa, csPCa, and ciPCa between the two biopsy types.

In this study, we investigated the effect of chronic PQ exposure on the blood–brain barrier (BBB) damage and the underlying mechanisms. Methods Adult male Sprague Dawley rats and primary human brain microvascular endothelial (PHBME) cells were exposed to PQ as the animal and cell models. Evans Blue staining and hematoxylin & eosin staining were conducted to examine the BBB and brain tissue damages. The inflammatory cytokines were quantified via enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The changes of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were detected by western blot. Results PQ exposure can cause significant pathological lesions in the brain tissues and the BBB. IL-6 and reactive oxygen species levels were found to be significantly upregulated after PQ exposure in both the animal and cell models. PQ treatment could arrest the cell proliferation and migration in PHBME cells. PQ treatment promoted the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT, and the application of PI3K inhibitor could attenuate PQ-induced IL-6 production, oxidative stress, BBB disruption, and brain tissue damage. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that chronic PQ exposure could impair the BBB function and induce brain tissue damage. The overactivation of the PI3K/AKT pathway, consequent upregulation of IL-6 production, and increased oxidative stress appear to mediate the inflammatory damage resulting from PQ exposure.","PeriodicalId":19715,"journal":{"name":"Open Medicine","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142201002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods A simple random sampling method was used to select 108 children with <jats:italic>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</jats:italic> infection admitted to the hospital from January to December 2022 as the study subjects. Collect demographic data such as gender, age, and course of disease from all patients, as well as inflammatory cytokines (InCs) such as IFN-γ, IL-10, and IL-6, the severity of the condition, and serum trace element information such as Zn, Fe, calcium (Ca), and potassium (K) from all patients. Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-6, severity of illness, and Zn, Fe, Ca, K in children infected with <jats:italic>Mycoplasma pneumoniae</jats:italic>. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to test the predictive efficacy of Zn, Fe, Ca, and K on the severity of the patient’s condition.
