Objectives: The study was to explore the influence of microRNA (miR)-345-3p on proinflammatory cytokines in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: A total of 32 RA patients and 32 healthy patients were enrolled. Proinflammatory factors in patients' serum were detected by ELISA, and miR-345-3p was detected by RT-qPCR. The correlation between miR-345-3p expression and proinflammatory factors in RA patients was analyzed. The diagnostic value of miR-345-3p and proinflammatory factors in RA patients was analyzed by receiver operating curve diagnosis. The predictive value of miR-345-3p levels and proinflammatory factors in RA patients was analyzed by multivariate Cox regression. HFLS-RA and HFLS cells were cultured, in which miR-345-3p and proinflammatory cytokines were detected by RT-qPCR. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined by CCK-8 and flow cytometry, respectively.
Results: MiR-345-3p was lowly expressed in the serum of RA patients. MiR-345-3p and proinflammatory factors were of diagnostic and predictive values in RA. Elevated miR-345-3p restrained the production of proinflammatory factors of HFLS-RA cells, improved cell proliferation, and reduced apoptosis.
Conclusion: MiR-345-3p is a potential biomarker and ameliorates RA by reducing the release of proinflammatory cytokines.

Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common and serious complication of diabetes, often leading to infection, amputation and poor quality of life. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have shown promise in treating chronic wounds, but their therapeutic efficacy is limited due to poor survival and low regenerative activity. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIUS), a non-invasive physical modality, has been shown to enhance the biological behavior of BMSCs.

Gut-mitochondria is an emerging paradigm in understanding the pathophysiology of complex neuropsychiatric disorders such as Schizophrenia (SCZ). This bidirectional communication network connects the gastrointestinal microbiota with mitochondrial function and brain health, offering novel insights into disease onset and progression. SCZ, characterized by hallucinations, delusions, cognitive impairments, and social withdrawal, has traditionally been attributed to genetic and neurochemical imbalances.

Objectives: Complement factor I (CFI) deficiency is a rare condition that can present with fulminant relapsing CNS autoinflammation. In this report, we highlight the utility of genetic testing in unexplained CNS autoinflammation.
Methods: This case report describes a young adult with partial CFI deficiency, presenting with acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis.

Health hazards caused by air pollutants are increasing worldwide (SDGs 3.9), but no established prevention methods exist. Recently, we showed that intraperitoneal administration of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) prevents air pollutant-induced acute lung injury.

Macrophages (MΦs) are integral cellular components responsible for immune response and tissue homeostasis. Evaluation of their pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) polarization states, along with their metabolic profiles, typically conducted via flow cytometry, is crucial for assessing the immune status of an organism. Traditional flow cytometry relies on extrinsic fluorescent labels, which may interfere with cellular function.
