Article Abstract
Sepsis is a secondary condition resulting from severe systemic infections. It is a significant contributor to mortality in critically ill patients with rapid onset and severe symptoms. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical treatment. Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that acupuncture, as an important synergistic therapy, has promising therapeutic effects in the treatment of sepsis. This paper reviews the mechanisms of immunomodulation and target organ protection associated with acupuncture and synergistic drug acupuncture in the treatment of sepsis. It also integrates existing studies to elucidate the modulation of the immune system and the protective effect of acupuncture on target organs.

Tahiti or the "myth of Paradise", Bora Bora, "the Pearl of the Pacific". Who has never wanted to take a plane and come and land on the heavenly beaches of Polynesia, a French territory at the antipodes of mainland France lost in the middle of the Pacific? However, we do not imagine that 60% of Polynesians live below the metropolitan low-income threshold or that life expectancy is lower than that of the mainland due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases with three quarters overweight population.In addition to non-transmissible metabolic diseases, various pathologies common to temperate countries present specificities in Polynesia, leading to sometimes different management and medical reasoning.

Objective: Vitamin C has been linked to alterations in platelet count and aggregation behavior. Given recent findings suggesting an association between vitamin C and adverse outcomes in patients with septic shock, we aimed to investigate whether vitamin C influences mortality in septic patients through its impact on platelets.
Design: Post hoc analysis of the Lessening Organ Dysfunction With Vitamin C (LOVIT) randomized trial (clinicaltrials.

Background: Male infertility is a global health issue, with pharmaceutical agents such as cimetidine contributing significantly to gonadotoxicity through antiandrogenic and oxidative mechanisms. The search for natural protective agents has highlighted var. (collard greens) for its antioxidant and endocrine-modulating properties.

Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), linked to lipid dysregulation, poses global health risks. 2,2',3,4,4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB138) is a persistent organic pollutant that poses potential threats to liver health due to its environmental persistence and bioaccumulation. Theabrown (TB), a natural compound extracted from black tea, exhibits lipid-lowering and antioxidant properties, but its protective effects on PCB138-induced liver injury have not been thoroughly investigated.

Periodontitis, a pervasive chronic inflammatory disorder, is distinguished by the progressive degradation of periodontal tissues and alveolar bone. Despite remarkable progress in understanding the pathogenesis of periodontitis, the involvement of TCRαβCD4CD8 T cells, also known as double-negative T (DNT) cells, in the pathophysiology of this disease has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we observed a significant reduction in the frequency of TCRαβ DNT cells within the gingival tissues of patients afflicted with periodontitis when compared with healthy individuals.
