    Abstract Alzheimer's disease, a major cause of dementia, is characterized by impaired cholinergic function, increased oxidative stress, and amyloid cascade induction. Sesame lignans have attracted considerable attention owing to their beneficial effects on brain health. This study investigated the neuroprotective potential of lignan-rich sesame cultivars. Among the 10 sesame varieties studied, Milyang 74 (M74) extracts exhibited the highest total lignan content (17.71 mg/g) and in vitro acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity (66.17%, 0.4 mg/mL). M74 extracts were the most effective in improving cell viability and inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) generation in amyloid-β

    Abstract Objective: Mature vocal fold nodules and fibrous phono-traumatic lesions that have failed standard voice therapy can be challenging. Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is rich in growth factors and easily obtained from a simple blood draw. Growth factor injection into the vocal folds may reverse the scar and inflammation in recalcitrant, bilateral phono-traumatic lesions such as mature vocal fold nodules. This study reports the short-term (3months) voice results after PRP injection in 11 subjects with recalcitrant, bilateral phono-traumatic lesions that have failed voice therapy.
    Materials and methods: Serial autologous PRP injections were used to treat 11 patients with recalcitrant, bilateral phono-traumatic lesions in an office setting. All had prior conservative voice therapy or surgery and were deemed failures. Pre and post-treatment video stroboscopy, Voice Handicap Index (VHI-10), and Cepstral Spectral Index of Dysphonia (CSID) before and after treatment (3months) were tabulated and compared. An expert rater blinded to the treatment condition rated the stroboscopy and voice results.
    Results: At 3months postinjection, 9 of the 11 patients reported improved VHI-10 and noted sustained voice improvement after PRP injections. Median VHI-10 changed from 20 to 13 (P < 0.05 paired t test). The CSID scores changed from 17 to 5 (NS P > 0.05, paired t test). Nine of 11 patients reported improved vocal effort and stamina. Stroboscopy ratings were better after treatment than before treatment in 7 of the 11 subjects.
    Conclusion: Short-term improvements in voice may occur in patients with recalcitrant, bilateral phono-traumatic lesions following PRP injection. PRP injections into the vocal folds may be a new treatment for nonsurgical intervention in patients with recalcitrant, bilateral phono-traumatic lesions.

    Results: VHI-10 changed from 19.5 to 14 at 3 months and 21 to 15 in the long term. The CSID scores improved from 31 to 21 in the short term and 31 to 26 in the long term (
    Conclusion: Both short- and long-term improvements in voice following PRP injection have been reported. Patients with mild-to-moderate dysphonia had better outcomes.

    Abstract Airborne particulate matter (PM) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. However, understanding of the range and mechanisms of effects of PM components is poor. PM generated in underground railways is rich in metals, especially iron. In the ultrafine (UFPM; <0.1 μm diameter) fraction, the combination of small size and metal enrichment poses an unknown health risk. This study aimed to analyse transcriptomic responses to underground UFPM in primary bronchial epithelial cells (PBECs), a key site of PM deposition. The oxidation state of iron in UFPM from an underground station was determined by X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. Antioxidant response was assayed using a reporter cell line transfected with an antioxidant response element (ARE)-luciferase construct. Differentiated PBECs were exposed to UFPM for 6 h or 24 h for RNA-Seq and RT-qPCR analysis. XANES showed predominance of redox-active Fe3O4, with ROS generation confirmed by induction of ARE-luciferase expression. 6 h exposure of PBECs to UFPM identified 52 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), especially associated with epithelial maintenance, whereas 24 h exposure yielded 23 DEGs, particularly involved with redox homeostasis and metal binding. At both timepoints, there was upregulation of members of the metallothionein family, low molecular weight proteins with antioxidant activity whose main function is binding and homeostasis of zinc and copper ions, but not iron ions. This upregulation was partially inhibited by metal chelation or ROS scavenging. These data suggest differential regulation of responses to metal-rich UFPM depending on exposure period, and highlight novel pathways and markers of PM exposure, with the role of metallothioneins warranting further investigation.

    Abstract After anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) was first described by Stain in 1985, there have been several histological variants of ALCL reported. There are classified histological subtypes of ALCL, such as lymphohistiocytic, small cell, Hodgkin-like, composite pattern, and other less common variants including neutrophil-rich ALCL. A 63-year-old male patient presented with erythematous exophytic mass on the left lower leg. In the past, his condition had been diagnosed as abdominal primary cutaneous ALCL (pcALCL), which recurred as systemic ALCL (sALCL) in the left bronchus. After treatment, he achieved complete remission. Histopathologic examination showed large-sized pleomorphic, anaplastic mitotic tumor cells, several neutrophils, and a few lymphocytes. Neutrophil-rich ALCL is a rare histological variant of ALCL. It is characterized by the presence of CD30-positive anaplastic tumor cells with numerous neutrophil infiltrations. Neutrophil-rich ALCL responds well to treatment but tends to recur. There were four cases reported to have recurrent neutrophil-rich ALCL. All cases were diagnosed with neutrophil-rich pcALCL prior to recurrence. Three cases had local recurrence, and only one case relapsed as sALCL. Herein, we present the first case of neutrophil-rich ALCL recurring as sALCL twice.

    Abstract Serine(S)/threonine(T)-glutamine(Q) cluster domains (SCDs), polyglutamine (polyQ) tracts and polyglutamine/asparagine (polyQ/N) tracts are Q-rich motifs found in many proteins. SCDs often are intrinsically disordered regions that mediate protein phosphorylation and protein-protein interactions. PolyQ and polyQ/N tracts are structurally flexible sequences that trigger protein aggregation. We report that due to their high percentages of STQ or STQN amino acid content, four SCDs and three prion-causing Q/N-rich motifs of yeast proteins possess autonomous protein expression-enhancing activities. Since these Q-rich motifs can endow proteins with structural and functional plasticity, we suggest that they represent useful toolkits for evolutionary novelty. Comparative Gene Ontology (GO) analyses of the near-complete proteomes of 26 representative model eukaryotes reveal that Q-rich motifs prevail in proteins involved in specialized biological processes, including
