Ferroptosis, lipid metabolism, and genetic regulation in postoperative rehabilitation of elderly hip fractures: from molecular mechanisms to clinical translation.

BACKGROUND: Elderly hip fracture represents a major global public health challenge, with postoperative rehabilitation involving complex molecular mechanisms and metabolic networks. Beyond osteoporotic fractures, pathological hip fractures caused by tumor bone metastasis constitute a non-negligible proportion in elderly patients, with molecular pathological mechanisms significantly different from osteoporotic fractures. Recent research has confirmed that ferroptosis (iron-dependent regulated cell death) and lipid metabolism dysregulation are key links in fracture healing and functional recovery

The Hypoxia-Retinoid Axis in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Multifaceted Etiology and Therapeutic Potential.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and lethal lung disease with limited therapeutic options. This review focuses on the role of retinoids, particularly all-trans retinoic acid (atRA), and hypoxia in the pathogenesis of IPF. Despite an established understanding of genetic and environmental factors in IPF, the interplay between retinoid signaling and the response to hypoxia remains poorly explored due to its complexity. Preclinical evidence suggests that atRA could help reduce pulmonary fibrosis by modulating TGF-β signaling pathways and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EM

Advances in nanotechnology-based gene and immune-modulator delivery systems have exc

Co-Encapsulation of Multiple Antineoplastic Agents in Liposomes by Exploring Microfluidics.

The inherent complexity of cancer proliferation and malignancy cannot be addressed by the conventional approach of relying on high doses of a single powerful anticancer agent, which is associated with poor efficacy, higher toxicity, and the development of drug resistance. Multiple drug therapy (MDT) rationally designed to target tumor heterogeneity, block alternative survival pathways, modulate the tumor microenvironment, and reduce toxicities would be a viable solution against cancer. Liposomes are the most suitable carrier for anticancer MDT due to their ability to encapsulate both hydrophil

Manifestations of systemic disease in the retina and fundus of cats and dogs.

The fundus is unique in that it is the only part of the body that allows for a noninvasive and uninterrupted view of vasculature and nervous tissue. Utilization of this can be a powerful tool in uncovering salient incidental findings which point to underlying systemic diseases, and for monitoring response to therapy. Retinal venules and arterioles allow the clinician to assess changes in vascular color, diameter, outline, and tortuosity. The retina and optic nerve may exhibit changes associated with increased or decreased thickness, inflammatory infiltrates, hemorrhages, and detachments. While

Stage-specific treatment of colorectal cancer: A microRNA-nanocomposite approach.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the leading causes of cancer mortality. The lifetime risk of developing CRC is about 5% in adult males and females. CRC is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, and at this point therapy has a limited impact on cure rates and long-term survival. Novel and/or improved CRC therapeutic options are needed. The involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer development has been reported, and their regulation in many oncogenic pathways suggests their potent tumor suppressor action. Although miRNAs provide a promising therapeutic approach for cancer, challenges such as

Intravenous Vitamin C for Cancer Therapy - Identifying the Current Gaps in Our Knowledge.

The use of intravenous vitamin C (IVC) for cancer therapy has long been an area of intense controversy. Despite this, high dose IVC has been administered for decades by complementary health care practitioners and physicians, with little evidence base resulting in inconsistent clinical practice. In this review we pose a series of questions of relevance to both researchers and clinicians, and also patients themselves, in order to identify current gaps in our knowledge. These questions include: Do oncology patients have compromised vitamin C status? Is intravenous the optimal route of vitamin C a
