Article Abstract

Flow cytometry serves as a crucial tool in immunology, allowing for the detailed analysis of immune cell populations. γδ T cells, a subset of T cells, play pivotal roles in immune surveillance and immune aging. Assessing the phenotype and functional capabilities of γδ T cells isolated from whole blood or tissue within the context of human aging yields invaluable insights into the dynamic changes affecting immune function, tissue homeostasis, susceptibility to infections, and inflammatory responses.

Association between transitional care in acute care hospitals and ambulatory care sensitive condition-related readmission.

Age Ageing

August 2025

Department of Nursing Health Services Research, Graduate School of Health Care Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Background: Little is known about how ambulatory care sensitive condition (ACSC)-related readmissions can be reduced in acute care settings.

Objective: This study examined the association between transitional care for hospitalised older patients with ACSC and ACSC-related readmissions.

Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study included patients aged 65 years and older admitted with ACSC as the primary diagnosis from 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2023, using linked data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination and the medical functions of the hospital beds database.

To compare the efficacy of using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) exosomes and injectable platelet rich fibrin (i-PRF) on the submandibular salivary glands (SMGs) of aged albino rats in restoring salivary gland structure and function. A total of 40 healthy male albino rats were used, two for obtaining the BM-MSCs, 10 for i-PRF preparation and seven adult rats (6-8 months old) represented the control group (Group 1). The remaining 21 rats were aged (18-20 months old) and divided into three groups of seven rats each; (Group 2): received no treatment, (Group 3): each rat received a single intraglandular injection of BM-MSC exosomes (50 μg/kg/dose suspended in 0.

Introduction: Knockout of the Fmo5 gene in mice led to a lean, slow-ageing phenotype characterised by the presence of 2,3-butanediol isomers in their urine and plasma. Oral treatment of wildtype mice with 2,3-butanediol led to a low cholesterol, low epididymal fat phenotype.

Objectives: Determine if significant, heterozygous coding variations in human FMO5 would give rise to similar clinical and metabolic phenotypes in humans, as in C57BL/6J mice with knockout of the Fmo5 gene and in particular, increased excretion of 2,3-butanediol.

Age-related cataract (ARC) represents a major global cause of visual impairment, with ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation recognized as a primary contributor to oxidative damage in the lens. FOXO3, a key regulator of aging, apoptosis, and oxidative stress-induced cell death, was investigated for its role and regulatory mechanisms in UVB-induced oxidative stress using human lens epithelial cells (HLECs). A progressive decrease in FOXO3 protein expression was observed in the lens capsules across various stages of cataract progression, as well as in UVB-exposed animal models and UVB-treated HLECs.

Introduction: Facial aging is a multifactorial process characterized by skin laxity, volume loss, and collagen degradation. Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) is a versatile biostimulatory filler that can provide both structural support and collagen stimulation. This study evaluates a novel technique using CaHA with tailored dilutions for minimally invasive facial rejuvenation, focusing on key ligamentous structures.
