Regulation of the p53 ‑mediated ferroptosis signaling pathway in cerebral ischemia stroke (Review)
Exp Ther Med. 2023 Jan 26;25(3):113. doi: 10.3892/etm.2023.11812. eCollection 2023 Mar.ABSTRACTStroke is one of the most threatening diseases worldwide, particularly in countries with larger populations; it is associated with high morbidity, mortality and disability rates. As a result, extensive research efforts are being made to address these issues. Stroke can include either hemorrhagic stroke (blood vessel ruptures) or ischemic stroke (blockage of an artery). Whilst the incidence of stroke is higher in the elderly population (≥65), it is also increasing in the younger population. Ischemic stroke accounts for ~85% of a...

Diagnosis of adult-onset MELAS with suspected recurrent strokes: A case report
Exp Ther Med. 2022 May 25;24(1):466. doi: 10.3892/etm.2022.11393. eCollection 2022 Jul.ABSTRACTMitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA and is one of the most common syndromes among the mitochondrial diseases. Clinical manifestations typically occur before the age of 40 years. The present study reports a case of MELAS with a mutation in the adenine to guanine conversion at mitochondrial genome 3243 in a 48-year-old woman who was suspected of suffering from recurrent strokes. Finally, the genomic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of MELAS. T...

Pediatric obesity: Causes, symptoms, prevention and treatment.
Authors: Xu S, Xue Y Abstract Pediatric or childhood obesity is the most prevalent nutritional disorder among children and adolescents worldwide. Approximately 43 million individuals are obese, 21-24% children and adolescents are overweight, and 16-18% of individuals have abdominal obesity. The prevalence of obesity is highest among specific ethnic groups. Obesity increases the risk of heart diseases in children and adults. Childhood obesity predisposes the individual to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, liver and kidney diseases and causes reproductive dysfunction in adults. Obe...

Dl-butylphthalide inhibits rotenone-induced oxidative stress in microglia via regulation of the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway
Exp Ther Med. 2021 Jun;21(6):597. doi: 10.3892/etm.2021.10029. Epub 2021 Apr 9.ABSTRACTActivated microglia are a source of superoxide which often increases oxidative stress in the brain microenvironment, increase production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and directly or indirectly lead to dopaminergic neuronal death in the substantia nigra. Thus superoxide contributes to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Evidence suggests that mitochondria are the main source of ROS, which cause oxidative stress in cells. Levels of ROS are thus associated with the function of the mitochondrial complex. Therefore, protecting t...
