YAP/Nrf2 suppresses ferroptosis to alleviate acute lung injury induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion by Lu Tang, Chengjie Yang, Yanhua Peng, Mudi Liu, Na Wei, Xin Fan, Bo Yang, Jing Jia, Ye Chen, Jianguo Feng, Jun Zhou

“…However, whether YAP is involved in regulating II/R-induced ALI remains to be further explored. This study aimed to investigate the regulatory role of YAP in ALI and ferroptosis caused by II/R, and to explore whether YAP exerts anti-ferroptosis and anti-inflammatory effects by promoting nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) nuclear entry and upregulating Nrf2 expression. …”

Significance of the gut tract in the therapeutic mechanisms of polydopamine for acute cerebral infarction: neuro-immune interaction through the gut-brain axis by Feng-Hua Xu, Feng-Hua Xu, Xiao Sun, Jun Zhu, Ling-Yang Kong, Yuan Chang, Ning Li, Wen-Xiang Hui, Cong-Peng Zhang, Yi-Ming Cheng, Yi-Ming Cheng, Wen-Xin Han, Zhi-Min Tian, Yan-Ning Qiao, Dong-feng Chen, Lei Liu, Lei Liu, Da-Yun Feng, Jing Han

“…Additionally, the activation of astrocytes in the hippocampal region and neuronal apoptosis were observed in ACI mice. Importantly, our study is the first to provide evidence demonstrating that PDA effectively suppresses the neuroimmune interactions of the gut-brain axis and significantly improves intestinal epithelial barrier integrity.ConclusionWe hope that our discoveries will serve as a foundation for further explorations of the therapeutic mechanisms of PDA in ACI, particularly in elucidating the protective roles of gut microbiota and intestinal barrier function, as well as in the development of more targeted clinical interventions for ACI.…”

Acute changes in functional connectivity associated with first osteopathic manual treatment in chronic low back pain spatially overlap with opioid receptor expression by Federica Tomaiuolo, Francesco Cerritelli, Carlo Sestieri, Jordan Keys, Teresa Paolucci, Stefano L. Sensi, Antonio Ferretti, Stefano Delli Pizzi

“…Methods: We combined a data-driven approach with a seed-based connectivity analysis to examine the pattern of whole-brain rs-FC in a cohort of thirty cLBP patients before and after a first acute session of OMT (N = 16) or a sham treatment (N = 14). Correlation analyses were performed to explore the relationship between the resulting rs-FC maps and receptor density/gene expression maps derived from in vivo brain atlases, focusing on the opioid and cannabinoid systems. …”

Effects of physical activity and resilience on emotional and behavioral problems in Chinese adolescent: a chained mediation model by YiJie Shi, Wei Zhao, Mariusz Lipowski

“…While parenting styles and physical activity (PA) independently influence adolescent psychological outcomes, their synergistic effects through psychological resilience remain inadequately explored, particularly regarding cultural nuances in Chinese parenting practices (e.g., dual interpretations of overprotection) and chained mediation pathways (parenting → PA → resilience → EBPs).ObjectiveThis study examined the chained mediating roles of physical activity and psychological resilience in the relationship between multidimensional parenting styles (emotional warmth, rejection, overprotection) and EBPs among Chinese adolescents, testing pathways informed by family systems theory and bioecological frameworks.Participants and settingA sample of 503 adolescents (51.09% male; SD = 1.41) was recruited through three-stage cluster sampling across Zhuhai, Guangdong, China. …”
