Data were analysed with unpaired t-test and one-way analysis of variance with significance set at p<.05.

The Fn-induced apical lesions were associated with apical bone loss, an increased number of osteoclasts, enhanced expression of pMLKL and increased mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines(IL-1α and IL-1β); all these effects were alleviated by RIP3 inhibition (p<.05). L929 cells infected with Fn displayed increased expression of pMLKL and increased cell death (p<.05), together with decreased cell viability (p<.05), whilst transfection with RIP3-Mus-siRNA decreased the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines(TNF-α and IL-6, p<.05).

Necroptosis may be involved in AP progression. RIP3 inhibition ameliorated the expression of inflammatory cytokines and bone resorption in Fn-induced AP lesions in Balb/c mice.

Malnutrition is a commonly encountered issue in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease. The role of nutritional supplementation in the management of alcohol-associated liver disease is integral to patient outcomes-it has been shown to decrease rates of hepatic encephalopathy, improve outcomes post-liver transplant, reduce 90-day hospital readmissions and lower mortality. Despite these benefits, many studies have shown nutritional support to be an underutilised tool in the care of patients with alcohol-associated liver disease.

To review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, recommendations for nutritional assessment and supplementation, as well as future directions for research of the relationship between nutrition and alcohol-associated liver disease.

A literature search was conducted via PubMed using MeSH terms to inform this narrative review.

Decreased dietary intake, socioeconomic status, impaired absorption of nutrients and increased free radical species are implicated in the pathophysiology of malnutrition in alcohol-associated liver disease.

Malnutrition is common in alcohol-associated liver disease, and physicians should be aware of its association with poor clinical outcomes. Routine nutritional assessment, involvement of a dietician and nutritional supplementation are recommended to improve clinical outcomes in patients with alcohol-associated liver disease.

Although the MYC oncogene is frequently dysregulated in HCC, it is thought to be undruggable. Thus, the current study aimed to identify the critical downstream metabolic network of MYC and develop new therapies for MYC-driven HCC. Liver cancer was induced in mice with hepatocyte-specific disruption of Myc and control mice by administration of diethylnitrosoamine (DEN). Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry-based metabolomic analyses revealed that urinary dimethylarginine, especially symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), was increased in the HCC mouse model in a MYC-dependent manner. Analyses of human samples demonstrated a similar induction of SDMA in the urines from HCC patients. Mechanistically, Prmt5, encoding protein arginine methyltransferase 5, which catalyzes SDMA formation from arginine, was highly induced in HCC and identified as a direct MYC target gene. Moreover, GSK3326595, a PRMT5 inhibitor, suppressed the growth of liver tumors in human MYC-overexpressing transgenic mice that spontaneously develop HCC. TH5427 molecular weight Inhibition of PRMT5 exhibited anti-proliferative activity via upregulation of the tumor suppressor gene Cdkn1b/p27. In addition, GSK3326595 induced lymphocyte infiltration and MHC II expression, which might contribute to the enhanced anti-tumor immune response. Combination of GSK3326595 with anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) improved therapeutic efficacy in HCC. This study revealed that PRMT5 is an epigenetic executer of MYC leading to repression of the transcriptional regulation of downstream genes that promote hepatocellular carcinogenesis, highlights a mechanism-based therapeutic strategy for MYC-driven HCC via PRMT5 inhibition through synergistically suppressed proliferation and enhanced anti-tumor immunity, and finally provides an opportunity to mitigate the resistance of "immune-cold" tumor to ICT.

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) mostly results from ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF), often triggered by acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Sulfonylurea (SU) antidiabetics can block myocardial ATP-regulated K

channels (K

channels), activated during AMI, thereby modulating action potential duration (APD). We studied whether SU drugs impact on OHCA risk, and whether these effects are related to APD changes.

We conducted a population-based case-control study in 219 VT/VF-documented OHCA cases with diabetes and 697 non-OHCA controls with diabetes. We studied the association of SU drugs (alone or in combination with metformin) with OHCA risk compared to metformin monotherapy, and of individual SU drugs compared to glimepiride, using multivariable logistic regression analysis. We studied the effects of these drugs on APD during simulated ischaemia using patch-clamp studies in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.

Compared to metformin, use of SU drugs alects of SU drugs are not explained by differential effects on APD.Dipyridophenazine (dppz) is known to react with alcohols upon photoexcitation into an n-π* transition at 378 nm to yield dihydrodipyridophenazine (dppzH2 ). This process occurs via H-atom abstraction from alcohols and subsequent disproportionation of the dppzH• radical species, to the final product. This reaction shows a primary kinetic isotope effect (KIE = 4.9) in methanol/perdeuteromethanol solvents, consistent with H-atom transfer processes. Addition of excess Zn(II) ions to the dppz solution not only accelerates the rate of photoreduction, but also lowers the KIE to 1.7, indicating a change in reaction mechanism. We postulate that the coordination of the alcoholic solvent to Zn(II) activates the alcohol α C-H bonds toward hydride transfer processes which would be consistent with the lowered KIE and faster overall reduction of the aromatic ligand. Interestingly, this appears to be an intramolecular process in which the Zn(II) is coordinated to both the dppz ligand and the reactive alcohol, as a sharp inflection in the overall rate increase is observed at a Zndppz ratio of 21.
