Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the Levels of Nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) and Adiponectin (APN) and their relationship with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with Unstable Angina (UA) and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).
Methods: Two hundred and thirty-one patients with UA were diagnosed by CAG in the Department of Cardiology of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from July 2022 to May 2023 were included, and 74 healthy subjects were included as the control group. The levels of NLRP3 and APN in each group were detected by ELISA and the Gensini score in each patient according to the results of CAG. The correlations between NLRP3, APN, and Gensini score were analyzed. According to whether complicated with T2D or not, we further analyze the effect of NLRP3 and APN levels of patients with UA and T2D on the severity of coronary artery stenosis.
Results: The levels of NLRP3 in UA with T2D group were the highest, followed by simple UA group, and the lowest in the control group, and the level of APN was the opposite. Spearman Correlation analysis showed that the level of NLRP3 was positively correlated with Gensini score (ρ=0.688, 0.05) and the level of APN was negatively associated with Gensini score (ρ= -0.515, 0.05). There was a negative correlation between NLRP3 and the level of APN (ρ= -0.366, 0.05). High NLRP3 and low APN levels are the risk factors for atherosclerosis.
Conclusion: The NLRP3 and APN were abnormally expressed in patients with UA complicated with T2D. With the aggravation of atherosclerosis, the level of NLRP3 increased and the level of APN decreased.

Intake of nutrients and water from diet to maintain life, a typical physiological function of gut, is highly dependent on the extensive immune network, whose imbalance is easy to induce inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Clinical strategies to completely cure IBD are poor, so it is urgent to develop novel drugs or targets. Adiponectin (APN), an adipokine from adipocytes, regulates energy metabolism and immune response.

The development and progression of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are heavily influenced by inflammation, excessive activation of glial cells, and neuronal cell death. This study aimed to investigate the effects of treatment with alpha-pinene (APN) on pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels, astrogliosis, pyroptosis, and autophagy markers in the hippocampus in a rat model of TLE induced by kainic acid (KA). Male Wistar rats were employed, and TLE was induced by intracerebroventricular injection of KA.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used a gene therapy approach with a specific virus to increase levels of trimeric APN in the liver of 5xFAD mice, which led to higher APN levels in the brain and reduced harmful amyloid-beta proteins.
- * Treatment with APN gene therapy improved memory and reduced inflammation by lowering certain inflammatory markers in the mice, suggesting a promising potential therapy for Alzheimer's disease.

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is an oral condition characterized by chronic progression, which may lead to the development of malignancy. Currently, available treatments for OSF only provide temporary relief of symptoms, and there is a limited availability of effective interventions that can effectively cure this condition. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether adiponectin (APN) could ameliorate OSF and the mechanisms involved in it.
