Article Abstract
Oxidative stress is a culprit responsible for the development of acute and chronic kidney diseases. We aimed to establish a working model for the dynamic in vivo assessment of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in rat kidney. A randomized controlled study was performed in 36 adult male Wistar rats subjected to unilateral urinary obstruction (UUO) via ureteral ligation and compared to SHAM controls. Dihydroethidium (DHE) was injected in the femoral vein and in vivo confocal microscopy was performed in the 2nd, 6th and 10th day, respectively after surgery. Maximal ROS levels elicited by UUO were recorded on the 6th day. However, the absolute difference of the means of DHE fluorescence intensity between UUO and SHAM was the highest on the 10th day. Our working model can monitor ROS production at different time frames and our initial findings suggest that the surgery-related ROS levels decline after an initial increase in the first days, whereas the ones elicited by chronic ligation continue to raise.

Surfactant-rich aqueous media are common in natural environments. The sea surface microlayer and sea spray droplets are good examples and are also frequently markedly enriched in organic pollutants. This study focuses on the degradation kinetics of organic pollutants initiated by the hydroxyl radical in such surfactant-rich environments.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics, social deprivation, insurance coverage, and medication use across regional subsets of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in the US.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of PsA patients in the Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) registry between January 2020 and March2023 was conducted. Distribution of high disease activity (HDA - RAPID3>12), high comorbidity (RxRisk ≥90 percentile), high Area Deprivation Index (ADI ≥80), insurance coverage, prednisone ≥10mg daily, and all DMARD therapies across geographic regions were evaluated.

Background: Major ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions are associated with poor intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes, yet drivers for this relationship remain unclear. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ischemic lesions after ICH are neuroimaging biomarkers of secondary brain injury and are associated with poor outcomes. Given that ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions can induce immune complex formation, thrombo-inflammation, and endothelial barrier disruption, factors that could exacerbate cerebral ischemia, we explored whether major ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions are risk factors for ischemic lesions on brain MRI after ICH.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) induces oxidative stress that triggers a compensatory upregulation of intracellular glutathione (GSH), thereby diminishing PDT efficacy. The simultaneous generation of reactive oxygen species and depletion of GSH holds promise for amplifying oxidative damage and enhancing therapeutic outcomes yet remains a challenge. In this work, we present a Type-I supramolecular photosensitizer designed to deplete GSH through a hydrogen atom transfer mechanism while concurrently generating superoxide radicals.

Oral cancer is a major global health burden, ranking sixth in prevalence, with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) being the most common type. Importantly, OSCC is often diagnosed at late stages, underscoring the need for innovative methods for early detection. The oral microbiome, an active microbial community within the oral cavity, holds promise as a biomarker for the prediction and progression of cancer.
