Predictive value of integrated pulmonary index for the outcome of ventilator withdrawal failure in elderly patients with hypoxic respiratory failure by Nan Wu, Jin Liu, Xianrong Feng

“…ROC curves showed that the AUC was 0.820 [95% CI: 0.719-0.920, P<0.001] , the sensitivity was 70.3%, the specificity was 82.6%, the maximum Youden index was 0.529, and the optimal cut-off value for IPI score was 4.77 scores. The duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay, and total hospital stay in patients with IPI<4.77 scores were longer than those in patients with IPI ≥ 4.77 scores, and the tracheotomy rate in patients with IPI<4.77 scores was higher than those in patients with IPI ≥ 4.77 scores. …”

The Different Insulin-Sensitising and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Palmitoleic Acid and Oleic Acid in a Prediabetes Model by Denisa Miklankova, Irena Markova, Martina Hüttl, Barbora Stankova, Hana Malinska

“…POA-treated rats showed elevated circulating NEFA associated with increased lipolysis, lipoprotein lipase gene expression, and fatty acid reesterification in visceral adipose tissue (VAT). The mechanism of improved insulin sensitivity of peripheral tissues (measured as insulin-stimulated lipogenesis and glycogenesis) in POA-treated HHTg rats could contribute increased circulating adiponectin and omentin levels together with elevated FADS1 gene expression in VAT. …”

SDF-1α Facilitates Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Induce Regulatory B Cell Differentiation from Patients with Immune Thrombocytopenia by Zhe Chen, Shufen Zhou, Jianyun Li, Hui Li, Can Huang, Qin Guo, Tiantian Zhang, Bingya Yang, Chuanqing Tu, Chengshan Guo

“…Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated in the ability to induce immunosuppression, and stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) plays an important role in the migration and survival of MSCs. To investigate the mechanism of SDF-1α in controlling umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) in inducing regulatory B cell differentiation of patients with ITP, we reconfirmed that SDF-1α promotes the proliferation of MSCs at the low doses of 0.05 μg/mL and 0.1 μg/mL but inhibits the proliferation and promotes the apoptosis of UC-MSCs at the high doses 0.5 μg/mL and 1 μg/mL; when UC-MSCs are cocultured with SDF-1α at 0.1 μg/mL, the decreased proportion of CD19+/CD24hi/CD38hi cells and IL-10-producing B cells (B 10 cell), considered as the Breg subset from ITP significantly enhanced, and the content of IL-10 in the supernatant is also obviously increased. …”
