Although intra-articular triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is one of the OA treatments that have been widely used, the side effects of such corticosteroids are still controversial. Intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injection is another therapeutic option for patients with OA who do not want to use corticosteroids because of their side effects. However, the difference between the histological features associated with TA and HA in the treatment of OA remains unclear. Thus, the present study aimed to compare the histological effects of TA and HA on the cartilage of patients with knee OA. In the current study, 31 patients diagnosed with grade 3-4 knee OA on the Kellgren-Lawrence radiographic grading scale were separated into three groups: TA (n=12); HA (n=7) and untreated group (n=12). Histological examination of the whole articular cartilages of the patients was performed with hematoxylin and eosin and Alcian staining, as well as using a TUNEL assay. Clinical data such as cartilage thickness, structural and component deterioration, proteoglycan levels, apoptosis and empty lacunae were compared between the three groups. The results showed a high level of deterioration in both TA and HA groups but not in the untreated group, although the thickness of cartilage in the HA group was lower compared with that in the TA and untreated groups. The proteoglycan levels in the TA group were lower compared with those in the HA group. Moreover, the number of empty lacunae in the HA group was higher compared with that in the TA group, while no difference in apoptosis was found between TA and HA groups. A significant difference was not found in the histological staining between TA and HA groups. On the other hand, a significant difference was found in cartilage deterioration between the medial and lateral sides in these groups. TA and HA groups showed comparable histological results.

The literature was searched for studies published from inception to March 2022 in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases using a combination of specific terms. An altered gut and reproductive tract microbiome has been reported in numerous conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, allergies, autoimmunity, cancer and reproductive disorders (e.g., endometriosis). Furthermore, microbial dysbiosis is a hallmark of endometriosis and is characterized by a decrease in beneficial probiotics and an increase in pathogenic microbes, which leads to a series of estrobolomic and metabolomic changes. Gut or reproductive tract microbiome dysbiosis was reported in mice, nonhuman primates, and females with endometriosis. Animal models of endometriosis demonstrated the effects of the gut microbiome on lesion growth and vice versa. The immune system mediated by the microbiota-gut-reproductive tract axis triggers an inflammatory response that damages reproductive tract tissue, which possibly leads to endometriosis. However, whether the alteration of eubiosis (a balanced microbiota) to dysbiosis is a cause or a result of endometriosis is unclear.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying resistance to treatment. The present study aimed to explore the mechanism of resistance to PD-1 monoclonal antibody. Plasma samples were collected from patients with OSCC treated with immunotherapy, who achieved pathological response/partial response (CR/PR) or stable disease/progressive disease (SD/PD) after the fourth treatment cycle.

Genome-wide studies suggest geographical variations in genetic susceptibility to IgAN and disease progression. Specific 'candidate genes' were indicated to correlate with different functions that are involved in the pathogenesis of renal conditions. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) have a major role in mRNA degradation or translation repression, thereby regulating the expression of their target proteins. Previously, a small number of miRNAs were reported to have direct associations with IgAN. In the present study, new miRNAs linked to IgAN were identified in the Indian population. The miRNA was isolated from kidney biopsies of patients with IgAN (n=6) and healthy control tissue from patients with renal cell carcinoma (n=6). The sequencing results indicated that the miRNA percentage acquired from controls and patients with IgAN was 5.61 and 4.35%, respectively. From the results, 10 upregulated and 15 downregulated miRNAs were identified. Of the 25 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs), miR-181a-5p, miR-28-3p, let-7g-5p, miR-92a-3p and miR-30c-5p were not reported previously. Furthermore, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Gene Ontology analyses suggested that the target genes of the DEMs were mainly enriched in pathways such as cancer, ErbB signalling, proteoglycans in cancer, Hippo signalling and MAPK pathways. The newly identified miRNAs may impact the behaviour of tissues or IgA deposition by regulating signalling pathways, which forms a basis for future studies aimed at improving the diagnosis and care of patients with IgAN in the Indian community.</p>","PeriodicalId":8863,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical reports","volume":"18 5","pages":"35"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/7b/02/br-18-05-01617.PMC10119669.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9755623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
