Mitochondria undergo a myriad of changes during pre-implantation embryo development, including shifts in activity levels and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication. However, how these distinct aspects of mitochondrial function are linked and their responsiveness to diverse stressors is not well understood. Here, we show that mtDNA content increased between 8-cell embryos and the blastocyst stage, with similar copy numbers per cell in the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE). In contrast, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was higher in TE than ICM...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal disease that may be treated utilizing thermal therapies. Cryoablation is an effective, minimally invasive therapy that has been utilized for the treatment of various cancers, offering patients a quicker recovery and reduced side effects. Cryoablation has been utilized on a limited basis for the treatment of PDAC. With the recent reports on the success of cryoablation, there is a growing interest in the use of cryoablation as a standalone, minimally invasive procedure to treat PDAC...

A 79-year-old man presented with a history of solitary plasmacytoma in the bone 10 years ago. Chemoradiotherapy was effective, and remission was maintained with intermittent treatment at relapse of the bone lesions. One year after the last treatment, a follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan revealed multiple liver masses, and a liver biopsy revealed plasmacytoma. There was no clonal plasma cell infiltration in the bone marrow, and the final diagnosis was solitary plasmacytomas of the liver. Although liver involvement is known in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma, solitary plasmacytoma in the relapsed stage confined to the liver is rare, and all previous reports have been from the initial presentation...

OBJECTIVE: Estrogen-related-receptor α (ERRα) plays a critical role in the transcriptional regulation of cellular bioenergetics and metabolism, and perturbations in its activity have been associated with metabolic diseases. While several coactivators and corepressors of ERRα have been identified to date, a knowledge gap remains in understanding the extent to which ERRα cooperates with coregulators in the control of gene expression. Herein, we mapped the primary chromatin-bound ERRα interactome in mouse liver...

Loss of ovarian function imparts increased susceptibility to obesity and metabolic disease. These effects are largely attributed to decreased estradiol (E2 ), but the role of increased follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in modulating energy balance has not been fully investigated. Previous work that blocked FSH binding to its receptor in mice suggested this hormone may play a part in modulating body weight and energy expenditure after ovariectomy. We used an alternate approach to isolate the individual and combined contributions of FSH and E2 in mediating energy imbalance and changes in tissue-level metabolic health...

The mass transfer behavior in a hollow fiber membrane module of membrane-based artificial organs (such as artificial liver or artificial kidney) were studied by numerical simulation. A new computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method coupled with K-K equation and the tortuous capillary pore diffusion model (TCPDM) was proposed for the simulations. The urea clearance rate predicted by the use of the numerical model agrees well with the experimental data, which verifies the validity of our numerical model. The distributions of concentration, pressure, and velocity in the hollow fiber membrane module were obtained to analyze the mass transfer behaviors of bilirubin and bovine serum albumin (BSA), and the effects of tube-side flow rate, shell-side flow rate, and fiber tube length on the bilirubin or BSA clearance rate were studied...

BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, which is commonly associated with NAFLD. Adenosine-to-inosine editing, catalysed by adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR), is an important post-transcriptional modification of genome-encoded RNA transcripts. Three ADAR gene family members, including ADAR1, ADAR2 and ADAR3, have been identified...

BACKGROUND: Persons with opioid use disorders (OUD) and persons with substance use disorders (SUD) who inject substances have a reduced life expectancy of up to 25 years compared with the general population. Chronic liver diseases are a substantial cause of this. Screening strategies based on liver stiffness measurements (LSM) may facilitate early detection, timely intervention, and treatment of liver disease. This study aims to investigate the extent of chronic liver disease measured with transient elastography and the association between LSM and various risk factors, including substance use patterns, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, alcohol use, body mass index, age, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol among people with OUD or with SUD who inject substances...

Cancer is responsible for approximately 10 million deaths worldwide, with 70% of the deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries; as such safer and more effective anti-cancer drugs are required. Therefore, the potential benefits of Ziziphus nummularia and Ziziphus spina-christi as sources of anti-cancer agents were investigated. Z. nummularia and Z. spina-christi extracts were prepared using chloroform, ethanol, ethyl acetate, and water. The extracts' anti-cancer properties were determined using the MTT Cell Viability Assay in four cancer cell lines: breast (KAIMRC2 and MDA-MB-231), colorectal (HCT8), and liver (HepG2)...
