in respiratory symptoms between dual users and exclusive vapers.Apelin acts as a tumor promoter in multiple malignant tumors; however, its regulatory mechanism remains unclear. Previous studies have indicated that exosomes are pivotal to mediating tumor progression and metastasis. This study examined whether apelin enhances proliferation and invasion ability of lung cancer cells via exosomal microRNA (miRNA). Lung cancer A549 cells overexpressing apelin and control vector were generated by lentiviral transfection. Exosomes were isolated from the culture supernatant of each cell group and characterized. A-exo and V-exo were, respectively, cocultured with A549 cells, and assays of proliferation, apoptosis, colony formation and invasion were conducted. Exosomal miRNA sequencing (miRNA-seq) was performed on A-exo and V-exo to select a candidate miRNA. It was found that A549 cells absorbed more A-exo than V-exo, and A-exo could promote proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion of A549 cells more than V-exo. Exosomal miRNA-seq data revealed that miR-15a-5p was markedly lower in A-exo compared with V-exo. Low expression of miR-15a-5p was also found in lung cancer tissues and cell lines, suggesting that miR-15a-5p may have an anti-tumor role. Overexpression of miR-15a-5p in A549 cells was associated with less cell proliferation, migration, invasion and suppressed cell cycle, and lower amounts of CDCA4 (cell division cycle-associated protein 4) indicated that it may be a potential target for miR-15a-5p. This study elucidated a novel regulatory mechanism that apelin may promote proliferation and invasion of lung cancer cells by inhibiting miR-15a-5p encapsulated in exosomes.

The molecular mechanism of action of the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor tofacitinib is poorly understood.

Here, we analysed the inhibitory effect of tofacitinib on mucosal and blood T cells from patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Furthermore tofacitinib treatment was analysed in experimental colitis models and wound healing. Additionally, tofacitinib effects were analysed in bioassays.

Tofacitinib significantly reduced T cell derived inflammatory cytokine production (Th2, Th9, Th17) in patients with active UC. Additionally, impaired expression of the homing receptors alpha4/beta1 and alpha4/beta7 as well as reduced gut homing capacity of T cells in a humanized mouse model of colitis were observed. MLT-748 Tofacitinib suppressed acute and chronic oxazolone colitis compared to untreated wild-type mice associated with downregulation of cytokines produced by Th2, Th9 and Th17 cells. Functionally, tofacitinib induced apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells and prevented mucosal wound healing in vivo at higher concentration. Thus, our findings suggest that tofacitinib is quite effective in protecting from colitis by inhibition of a bundle of T cell derived cytokines like IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-13 and IL-17A.

Application of tofacitinib emerges as an attractive concept for treatment of chronic intestinal inflammation at lower concentrations, whereas higher concentrations require attention due to prolonged wound healing.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a recommended treatment for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, and there is promise that FMT may be effective for conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Previous FMT clinical trials have considered the possibility of a "donor effect", that is, that FMT material from different donors has different clinical efficacies.

Here we re-evaluate evidence for donor effects in published FMT clinical trials for IBD.

In 10 of 12 published studies, no statistically significant donor effect was detected when rigorously re-evaluating the original analyses. One study had statistically significant separation of microbiota composition of pools of donor stool when stratified by patient outcome. One study reported a significant effect but did not have underlying data available for re-evaluation. When quantifying the uncertainty on the magnitude of the donor effect, confidence intervals were large, including both zero donor effect and very substantial donor effects.

Although we found very little evidence for donor effects, the existing data also cannot rule out the possibility that donor effects are clinically important. Large clinical trials prospectively designed to detect donor effects are likely necessary to determine if donor effects are clinically relevant for IBD.

Alcohol-related hangover symptoms nausea, headache, stress and anxiety cause globally considerable amount of health problems and economic losses. Many of these harmful effects are produced by alcohol and its metabolite, acetaldehyde, which also is a common ingredient in alcohol beverages. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of the amino acid L-cysteine on the alcohol/acetaldehyde related aftereffects.

Voluntary healthy participants were recruited through advertisements. Volunteers had to have experience of hangover and/or headache. The hangover study was randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled. Nineteen males randomly swallowed placebo and L-cysteine tablets. The alcohol dose was 1.5g/kg, which was consumed during 3h.

The primary results based on correlational analysis showed that L-cysteine prevents or alleviates hangover, nausea, headache, stress and anxiety. For hangover, nausea and headache the results were apparent with the L-cysteine dose of 1200mg and for stress and anxiety already with the dose of 600mg.

L-cysteine would reduce the need of drinking the next day with no or less hangover symptoms nausea, headache, stress and anxiety. Altogether, these effects of L-cysteine are unique and seem to have a future in preventing or alleviating these harmful symptoms as well as reducing the risk of alcohol addiction.
