Correlation Between Blood Glucose Fluctuations and Osteoporosis in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Fuhua Chen, Ping Wang, Fang Dai, Qiu Zhang, Ruixue Ying, Liya Ai, Yiqing Chen

“…Mechanistic studies, both in vitro and in vivo, reveal that these effects are largely mediated by oxidative stress, advanced glycation end products, inflammatory mediators, and multiple pathways inducing cell apoptosis or autophagy. Thus, maintaining the long-term stability of blood glucose levels emerges as a target to be pursued in clinical practice in order to safely reduce mean blood glucose and for its direct effects on osteoporosis and fractures in T2DM.…”

Differential Impairment of Interferon-γ Responses in Two Cases of Pulmonary Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease by William Rae, Yifang Gao, Efrem Eren, Rainer Döffinger, Ben Marshall, Anthony P. Williams

“…These cases show that cellular IFN-γ responses may be defective in a proportion of patient suffering PNTM disease and that when assessing responses, the stimulant used in the testing is important to delineate defective cell populations. Impaired IFN-γ responses to IL-12 + BCG seem to be a poor prognostic indicator in PNTM disease and in these cases were not improved by adjuvant IFN-γ.…”

PPARs in Alveolar Macrophage Biology by Monica R. Smith, Theodore J. Standiford, Raju C. Reddy

“…We then review the role of PPAR-γ and its ligands in deactivating alveolar macrophages—thus limiting the inflammatory response that, if unchecked, could threaten the essential respiratory function of the alveolus—while upregulating the cell's phagocytotic activity. Finally, we examine the role that inadequate or inappropriate PPAR-γ responses play in specific lung diseases.…”
