Article Abstract

Objective: The effects of lipidome and its metabolites on Parkinson's disease (PD) have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to assess the causal effects of lipidome on PD and the mediated effects of metabolites using Mendelian randomization (MR).

Methods: Datasets of the lipidome, metabolites, and PD were acquired from genome-wide association studies, and single nucleotide polymorphisms were screened according to the basic assumptions of MR. Subsequently, inverse variance weighted was used as the main tool to assess the causal effects of lipidome on PD and the mediated effects of metabolites. Finally, the MR-Egger intercept, Cochran's Q test, and leave-one-out sensitivity analysis were used to assess the horizontal pleiotropy, heterogeneity, and robustness of the results, respectively.

Results: The MR analysis showed that phosphatidylethanolamine (18:1_0:0) reduced genetic susceptibility to PD by lowering glutamine conjugate of CHO (2) levels (mediated proportion: 15.80%; mediated effect: -0.024, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.046 to -0.001,  = 0.040) and increasing X-23648 levels (mediated proportion: 15.20%; mediated effect: -0.022, 95% CI -0.045 to -0.001,  = 0.030). The MR-Egger intercept showed no horizontal pleiotropy ( ≥ 0.05) for these results. Cochran's Q and sensitivity analyses showed that the results were not heterogeneous and were robust.

Conclusion: Our findings indicate that phosphatidylethanolamine (18:1_0:0) reduces the risk of PD by regulating glutamine conjugate of CHO (2) and X-23648, providing genetic insights into the pathogenesis of PD. However, these results are based on European populations and require further experimental validation.

Background: Several clinical studies have demonstrated that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection may exacerbate the progression of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD); however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the characterization of the gastric microbiome and metabolome in relation to the progression of MASLD induced by Hp infection.

Methods: We established a high-fat diet (HFD) obese mouse model, both with and without Hp infection, to compare alterations in serum and liver metabolic phenotypes.

Objective: This study analyzed data from the US population to examine how oral microbiome diversity and diet quality individually and synergistically affect frailty.

Methods: This study included 6,283 participants aged 20 years or older from the 2009-2010 and 2011-2012 NHANES cycles. A frailty index (FI) consisting of 36 items was developed, with items related to nutritional status excluded.

Neuroinflammatory Consequences of Rhinovirus Infection in Human Epithelial and Neuronal Models.

Lung

Introduction: Rhinovirus (RV) is the leading cause of exacerbations of lung disease. A sensory neuronal model, derived from human dental pulp stem cells and differentiated into peripheral neuronal equivalents (PNEs), was used to examine RV's effects on airway sensory nerves. We investigated whether RV can directly infect and alter PNEs or whether it exerts effects indirectly via the release of mediators from infected epithelial cells.

Estimation of salivary protectin D1 in periodontitis patients with metabolic syndrome following non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Clin Oral Investig

September 2025

Department of Periodontics, Saveetha Dental College, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technology Sciences, SIMATS, Saveetha University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Objectives: This study aims to assess periodontal and biochemical parameters and evaluate the salivary Protectin D1 levels in periodontitis patients with and without metabolic syndrome after non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Materials And Methods: Forty patients were categorized into two groups: 20 patients in Group P (systemically healthy patients with stage II/III grade B periodontitis) and 20 patients in Group P+MS (patients with stage II/III grade B periodontitis and metabolic syndrome). Parameters including age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, socio-economic status, oral hygiene index (OHI), modified gingival index (MGI), probing pocket depth, clinical attachment levels, fasting blood glucose, HDL-c, total triglycerides, and blood pressure were recorded.

Current antithrombotic therapies face dual constraints of bleeding complications and monitoring requirements. Although natural hirudin provides targeted thrombin inhibition, its clinical adoption is hindered by sourcing limitations. This study developed a recombinant hirudin variant HMg (rHMg) with enhanced anticoagulant activity through genetic engineering and established cost-effective large-scale production methods.
