Inhibition of MAGL attenuates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration by Delaying nucleus pulposus senescence through STING
In this study, we utilized a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NPC senescence model and a rat acupuncture-induced IVDD model to investigate the role of MAGL in IVDD both in vitro and in vivo. Initially, our results showed that MAGL expression was increased 2.41-fold and 1.52-fold within NP tissues from IVDD patients and rats induced with acupuncture, respectively. This increase in MAGL expression was accompanied by elevated expression of p16INK4α. Following this, it was noted that the suppression of MAGL resulted in a notable decrease in the quantity of SA-β-gal-positive cells and hindered the manifestation of p16INK4α a...

Nonpharmacological interventions and outcomes in the management of complications of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1-related myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: The most common physical therapy method used in studies was active and passive body movements, which are associated with positive results for patients. Due to the small sample size in this group of studies, it is necessary to conduct more clinical trials for more accurate conclusions. Furthermore, due to the limited number of studies that have used electrical stimulation or combined intervention packages, it is not possible to say with certainty what effect these methods have on patients. It is necessary to conduct more clinical trials.PMID:38510783 | PMC:PMC10953734 | DOI:10.4103/jrms.jrms_300_22 (Source: Cell Research)
