Article Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the intraarticular serum amyloid A (SAA) response pattern in horses with inflammatory arthritis. Inflammatory arthritis was induced by injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the radiocarpal joint of four horses. Serum and synovial fluid (SF) samples were collected before and at 4, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 144 h after injection. Concentrations of SAA were measured by immunoturbidometry, and expression of SAA isoforms was visualized by denaturing isoelectric focusing and Western blotting. The LPS injection caused systemic and local clinical signs of inflammation. Serum amyloid A appeared in serum and SF within 8h after LPS injection. Isoelectric focusing showed three major SAA bands with apparent isoelectric points (pI) of 7.9, 8.6, and >9.3 in serum and SF. Synovial fluid contained two additional isoforms with highly alkaline apparent pI values (apparent pI value extrapolated from standard curve=10.0 and 10.2), which were not present in any of the serum samples. In conclusion, intraarticular injection of LPS induced systemic and local inflammatory responses in the horses. By demonstrating SF-specific SAA isoforms the results of the present study suggest that SAA is synthesized locally in the equine inflamed joint, similar to what has been demonstrated in humans previously. The marked local SAA synthesis suggests an important pathophysiological role in inflammatory arthritis.

Extracellular vesicle signature is associated with cardio-metabolic improvement after bariatric surgery.
Eur J Prev Cardiol

Aims: Bariatric surgery (BS) reduces obesity-associated systemic inflammation leading to multiple cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic benefits. Here, we tested whether measuring vaso-inflammatory cytokines, gut hormones, and circulating extracellular vesicles (EV) provide vaso-inflammatory-metabolic signatures that better correlate to CV-metabolic outcomes after BS, compared to a standard clinical assessment including body weight (BW) loss and traditional CV risk factors.
Methods: In 111 patients with severe obesity, conventional clinical-biochemical parameters and non-conventional vaso-inflammatory-metabolic markers were analyzed at baseline, after 1- (T12) and 3-years (T36) post-BS and were associated to post-surgical BW loss and improvement of patients' CV-metabolic profile.
Cross-sectional study on the connection between collateral status and cognitive impairment after stroke based on neural regulation and protein metabolism.

Background: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), a common complication following stroke, significantly impacts patients' quality of life and prognosis. Research indicates that neuroregulation and protein metabolic disorders play crucial roles in the development of PSCI.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of the Regional Meningoarterial Score (rLMC) in determining collateral circulation status in acute ischaemic stroke patients.
Systemic Transthyretin Amyloidosis Incidentally Diagnosed With Prostate Biopsy: A Case Report.
IJU Case Rep
September 2025
Introduction: The diagnosis of systemic transthyretin amyloidosis based on prostate biopsy is very rare, and we report this case with a literature review.
Case Presentation: A 73-year-old male patient was referred to our department due to an increased serum prostate-specific antigen level at 10.4 ng/mL while receiving benign prostatic hypertrophy treatment.
Elevated serum levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in 71 patients 3 months after elective cardiac surgery suggest a potential link to persistent inflammation but not an increased propensity for perioperative cerebrovascular events.

Background: Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) plays a critical role in the transmigration of peripheral monocytes, a central mechanism underlying chronic inflammation. In this study, we investigate postoperative serum kinetics of MCP-1 as a potential contributor to postoperative neurocognitive decline, arteriosclerosis, and the development of organ failures.
Methods: Seventy-one patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery were included in this study.

Background: The treatment and prognosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) depend heavily on the accurate identification of amyloid protein types. Histopathological methods are the most commonly used approach, but often produce inconclusive results. The application of mass spectrometry with laser microdissection mass spectrometry based on non-targeted proteomics in CA diagnosis is gradually being recognized, but it is expensive, time-consuming, and still in the early stages of scientific research applications.
