A network-based approach for isolating the chronic inflammation gene signatures underlying complex diseases towards finding new treatment opportunities
Complex diseases are associated with a wide range of cellular, physiological, and clinical phenotypes. To advance our understanding of disease mechanisms and our ability to treat these diseases, it is critical to delineate the molecular basis and therapeutic avenues of specific disease phenotypes, especially those that are associated with multiple diseases. Inflammatory processes constitute one such prominent phenotype, being involved in a wide range of health problems including ischemic heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and autoimmune and neurodege...

Science Saturday:  Do environmental exposures contribute to human diseases?
An accumulation of environmental chemicals, pollutants, microbes, and particulates may be living inside each of us — acquired from the air we breathe, the food we eat, products we touch, and the water we drink. These sometimes-harmful exposures can potentially interact with our genes to fuel diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, respiratory illnesses, autoimmune diseases, and stroke. Research sh ows environmental factors are associated with more than 80% of human diseases and nearly 1 in 6 deaths worldwide.  …

Aging-Related Vascular Inflammation: Giant Cell Arteritis and Neurological Disorders
Front Aging Neurosci. 2022 Apr 12;14:843305. doi: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.843305. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTAging is characterized by the functional decline of the immune system and constitutes the primary risk factor for infectious diseases, cardiovascular disorders, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. Blood vessels are immune-privileged sites and consist of endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, fibroblasts, and pericytes, among others. Aging also termed senescence inevitably affects blood vessels, making them vulnerable to inflammation. Atherosclerosis causes low-grade inflammation...

Prevalence and associated relating factors in patients with hereditary retinal dystrophy: a nationwide population-based study in Taiwan
CONCLUSIONS: 74% of the diagnosed HRD are retinitis pigmentosa. Population-based data suggested an increased incidence of cataract in younger patients, whereas older HRD patients are more susceptible to develop CME. Further work is needed to elucidate the mechanism between these ophthalmological disorders and HRD.PMID:35396285 | DOI:10.1136/bmjopen-2021-054111

Immunomodulatory Therapeutic Effects of Curcumin on M1 / M2 Macrophage polarization in Inflammatory Diseases
CONCLUSION: Curcumin not only enhances anti- tumor immunity (via shifting M polarization towards to M1 phenotype and/or up-regulation of M1 markers expression), but ameliorates inflammatory diseases including auto immune diseases (experimental autoimmune myocarditis and Behcet's disease), nephropathy, chronic serum sickness, stroke and atherosclerosis.PMID:35331128 | DOI:10.2174/1874467215666220324114624

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura Without Schistocytes: Beware of Misdiagnosis
A 43-year-old woman was admitted for acute unusual headache, vertigo, and left upper limb weakness. She had been complaining of asthenia for the past few weeks. Her medical history included uterine cervix cancer treated with conisation and 2 pregnancies without serious complications. No allergy or recent drug introduction was noted. After ruling out current pregnancy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was immediately performed and showed recent ischemic strokes in multiple territories. Doppler ultrasound imaging showed no carotid or vertebral arteries lesion. Electrocardiogram showed no ST elevation or atrial fibrillation, ...
