Diabetes mellitus is a global public health problem with both macrovascular and microvascular complications, such as diabetic corneal neuropathy (DCN). Using in-vivo confocal microscopy, nerve changes in DCN patients can be examined. Additionally, the morphology quantity of dendritic cells (DCs) corneas have also been observed. DCs are bone marrow-derived antigen-presenting that serve immunological non-immunological roles human corneas. However, role pathogenesis DC not well understood. In this article, we provide comprehensive review animal clinical studies report DCs, including density, maturation stages, relationships between nerves, epithelium, We discussed associations various or imaging parameters, age, status, blood metabolic parameters. Such information would valuable insight into development diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic strategies for DM-associated ocular surface complications.

The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease involves β amyloid (Aβ) accumulation known to induce synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. brain's vulnerability oxidative stress (OS) is considered a crucial detrimental factor in disease. OS Aβ are linked each other because induces OS, increases the deposition. Thus, answer question "which comes first: chicken or egg?" remains extremely difficult. In any case, evidence for primary occurrence AD attractive. indicates that long period gradual damage precedes results appearance clinical pathological symptoms, including deposition, neurofibrillary tangle formation, metabolic dysfunction, cognitive decline. Moreover, plays role many risk factors AD. begins years before its antioxidant treatment can be an important therapeutic target attacking

Abstract Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of labour loss and disability worldwide, it also imposes severe economic burden on patients society. Among symptomatic LBP, approximately 40% caused by intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). IDD the pathological basis many spinal degenerative diseases such as herniation stenosis. Currently, therapeutic approaches for mainly include conservative treatment surgical treatment, neither which can solve problem from root terminating process (IVD). Therefore, further exploring pathogenic mechanisms adopting targeted strategies one current research hotspots. complex pathophysiological processes IDD, oxidative stress considered main factor. The delicate balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) antioxidants essential maintaining normal function survival IVD cells. Excessive ROS levels damage to macromolecules nucleic acids, lipids, proteins cells, affect cellular activities functions, ultimately lead cell senescence or death.

Wumei Wan (WMW) has been used to address digestive disorder for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Previous studies have demonstrated its anti-colitis efficacy, but the underlying mechanism of action remains be further clarified.To investigate mechanisms WMW treatment chronic ulcerative colitis (UC) through network pharmacology and experimental validation.Traditional Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) platform were identify ingredients potential targets WMW. The microarray gene data GSE75214 datasets from GEO database was define UC-associated targets. Cytoscape3.7.2 employed construct protein-protein interaction (PPI) compounds-disease network. GO enrichment analysis KEGG pathway performed by R software functional annotation. UPLC-TOF-MS/MS method quantitatively analyze active For validation, three cycles 2% dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS) model. hub signal detected qPCR, ELISA, western blotting , immunohistochemical immunofluorescence.Through analysis, 104 obtained WMW, 47 these had UC. A total 41 13 identified. showed that involved advanced glycation end products-receptor products (AGE-RAGE) signaling pathway.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) belongs to the category of socially significant diseases with epidemic rates increases in prevalence. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a specific kind kidney damage that occurs 40% patients DM and considered serious complication DM. Most modern methods for treatments aimed at slowing down progression DN have side effects do not produce unambiguous positive results long term. This fact has encouraged researchers search additional or alternative treatment methods. Hyperglycemia negative effect on renal structures due number factors, including activation polyol hexosamine glucose metabolism pathways, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone sympathetic nervous systems, accumulation advanced glycation end products insulin resistance endothelial dysfunction tissues. The above mechanisms cause development oxidative stress (OS) reactions mitochondrial dysfunction, which turn contribute DN. Modern antioxidant therapies involve various phytochemicals (food antioxidants, resveratrol, curcumin, alpha-lipoic acid preparations, etc.), are widely used only diabetes but also other systemic diseases. It been suggested therapeutic approaches target source reactive oxygen species may certain advantages terms nephroprotection from OS. review describes significance studies OS biomarkers pathogenesis analyzes reducing intensity prevention

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of chronic (CKD), and it heightens the risk cardiovascular incidents. The pathogenesis DKD thought to involve hemodynamic, inflammatory, metabolic factors that converge on fibrotic pathway. Genetic predisposition unhealthy lifestyle practices both play significant role in development progression DKD. In spite recent emergence angiotensin receptors blockers (ARBs)/angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid antagonists (NS-MRAs), current therapies still fail effectively arrest Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), promising class agents, possess potential act as renal protectors, slowing Other including pentoxifylline (PTF), selonsertib, baricitinib hold great promise for due their anti-inflammatory antifibrotic properties.

The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays important roles in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. Wnt is induced, β-catenin activated, associated with the progression of renal fibrosis. controls expression various downstream mediators such as snail1, twist, matrix metalloproteinase-7, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, transient receptor potential canonical 6, renin-angiotensin system components epithelial cells, fibroblast, macrophages. In addition, usually intertwined other pathways to promote interstitial Actually, given crucial fibrogenesis, blocking this may benefit There are several antagonists that negatively control activation, these include soluble Fzd-related proteins, family Dickkopf 1 Klotho inhibitory factor-1. Furthermore, numerous emerging small-molecule inhibitors cannot be ignored prevent treat Moreover, we reviewed knowledge focusing on anti-fibrotic effects natural products commonly used kidney disease by inhibiting pathway. Therefore, review, summarize recent advances regulation, targets, role, mechanisms fibrosis pathogenesis. We also discuss therapeutic targeting fibrosis; shed new insights into effective treatment strategies

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of chronic disease, including end-stage and increases risk cardiovascular mortality. Although treatment options for DKD, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 mineralocorticoid antagonists, have advanced, their efficacy still limited. Thus, a deeper understanding molecular mechanisms DKD onset progression necessary development new innovative treatments DKD. The complex pathogenesis includes various different pathways, can be broadly classified into inflammatory, fibrotic, metabolic, hemodynamic factors. Here, we summarize recent findings in basic research, focusing on each factor advances Collective evidence from clinical research studies helpful definitive regulatory systems. Further comprehensive exploration warranted to advance our knowledge establish novel preventive strategies.

Periodontal diseases include periodontitis and gingival overgrowth. Periodontitis is a bacterial infectious disease, its pathological cascade regulated by many inflammatory cytokines secreted immune or tissue cells, such as interleukin-6. In contrast, overgrowth develops side effect of specific drugs, immunosuppressants, anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers. Human fibroblasts (HGFs) are the most abundant cells in connective tissue, human periodontal ligament (HPLFs) located between teeth alveolar bone. HGFs HPLFs both crucial for remodeling homeostasis their roles pathogenesis have been examined 25 years. Various responses contribute to progression diseases.
