Article Abstract
The biological process of aging is thought to result in part from accumulation of senescent cells in organs. However, the present study identified a subset of fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells which are the major constituents of organ stroma neither proliferative nor senescent in tissues of the elderly, which we termed "mid-old status" cells. Upregulation of pro-inflammatory genes (IL1B and SAA1) and downregulation of anti-inflammatory genes (SLIT2 and CXCL12) were detected in mid-old cells. In the stroma, SAA1 promotes development of the inflammatory microenvironment via upregulation of MMP9, which decreases the stability of epithelial cells present on the basement membrane, decreasing epithelial cell function. Remarkably, the microenvironmental change and the functional decline of mid-old cells could be reversed by a young cell-originated protein, SLIT2. Our data identify functional reversion of mid-old cells as a potential method to prevent or ameliorate aspects of aging-related tissue dysfunction.

To evaluate the status and dietary intake of magnesium in mid-old people in a rural area of China, a total of 324 mid-old people (111 males and 213 females) aged 55-70 were randomly selected. All the subjects were divided into four groups: a normal group (N), a hypertension group (H), an impaired fasting glucose group (IFG) and a diabetic group (D). Magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, and copper concentrations in red blood cells (RBC) were measured by emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), and dietary intakes were surveyed by 24-hr recall questionnaires.

The mechanism of senescence-associated cytoplasmic induction of p-Erk1/2 (SA-p-Erk1/2) proteins in human diploid fibroblasts was investigated. p-Erk1/2 proteins were efficiently dephosphorylated in vitro by protein phosphatases 1 and 2A (PP1/2A) and MAPK phosphatase 3 (MKP3). Specific activity of PP1/2A and MKP3 activity significantly decreased during cellular senescence, whereas their protein expression levels did not.

Background: The membrane hypothesis of aging proposes an association between reactive oxygen metabolites and aging processes. Reactive oxygen metabolites are a normal by-product of oxidative phosphorylation and are also formed under conditions of ischemia, hypoperfusion, and as a result of environmental contaminants. Among the many detrimental activities of reactive oxygen metabolites, also known as free oxygen radicals, is direct damage to mitochondrial DNA.

Objective: To examine possible age-related differences in auditory sensitivity and cochlear vascular properties.
Design: This study is designed to provide information regarding cochlear function using physiological and audiological measures. Each animal underwent intravital microscopic evaluation of red blood cell velocity, vessel diameter, and vascular permeability in the second turn of the cochlear lateral wall.
