Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy-Related Disease-Causing Genes and Norrin/β-Catenin Signal Pathway: Structure, Function, and Mutation Spectrums by Hongtao Xiao, Yuna Tong, Yuxuan Zhu, Min Peng

“…Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a hereditary ocular disorder characterized by incomplete vascularization/abnormality of peripheral retina. Four of the identified disease-causing genes of FEVR were NDP, FZD4, LRP5, and TSPAN12, the protein coded by which were the components of the Norrin/β-catenin signal pathway. …”

The role of phosphodiesterase 4B in IL-8/LTB4-induced human neutrophil chemotaxis evaluated with a phosphodiesterase 4B inhibitor by Suzuki Osamu, Goto Taiji, Yoshino Toshiharu, Nakamura Satoshi, Maeda Hiroaki

“…In this study, the inhibitory effects of a phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B)- selective inhibitor (compound A) and subtype non-selective PDE4 inhibitors (roflumilast and cilomilast) were evaluated in human peripheral blood cells. Compound A, roflumilast and cilomilast in a similar manner inhibited TNF-α production by LPS-stimulated human mononuclear cells. …”

Combination of High-Dose Intravenous Immunoglobulins and Itraconozole in Treating Chronic Mycotic Demyelinating Optic Neuritis by Andrew W. Campbell, Ebere C. Anyanwu, Aristo Vojdani

“…Most of the neurological and immunologic abnormalities associated with toxic mold mycotoxins are very difficult to treat successfully, especially neural demyelination of the central and peripheral nervous systems. This paper presents the case of a 42-year-old white female, in whom chronic demyelinating optic neuritis with persistent visual defects due to chronic exposure to toxic molds was diagnosed at the age of 34 years. …”

Leukocyte Production of Inflammatory Mediators Is Inhibited by the Antioxidants Phloretin, Silymarin, Hesperetin, and Resveratrol by Jezrom B. Fordham, Afsar Raza Naqvi, Salvador Nares

“…In this study, we investigated the antioxidants Phloretin, Silymarin, Hesperetin, and Resveratrol to ascertain whether they altered the production of inflammatory mediators by innately-activated leukocytes. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide purified from Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and the production of cytokines, chemokines, and differentiation factors was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, cytometric bead array, and RT-PCR. …”
