Abstract Pediatric sepsis has become the leading cause of death in pediatric intensive care units (PICU). The regulation of target genes may be the key to the treatment of pediatric sepsis. The expression of miR-210 in rat serum was detected by RT-qPCR. The serum BUN, Scr, and CysC were detected by an automatic biochemical analyzer. The expression of inflammatory factors was detected by ELISA. The apoptosis level of the cells was detected by TUNEL staining. The expression of apoptotic...
Abstract Enteric glial cells (EGCs) and enteric glial–derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) are directly involved in intestinal inflammation. In this study, we sought to examine the possible mechanisms for how Bifidobacterium bifidum (B.b.) and Bacteroides fragilis (B.f.) influence EGC regulation. In this study, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) were used as exogenous stimuli of EGCs to establish an intestinal inflammation...

Overlapping Mechanisms of Exertional Heat Stroke and Malignant Hyperthermia: Evidence vs. Conjecture
Abstract Exertional heat stroke (EHS) and malignant hyperthermia (MH) are life-threatening conditions, triggered by different environmental stimuli that share several clinical symptoms and pathophysiological features. EHS manifests during physical activity normally, but not always, in hot and humid environments. MH manifests during exposure to haloalkane anesthetics or succinylcholine, which leads to a rapid, unregulated release of calcium (Ca2+) within the skeletal muscles inducing...
