The Invisible Cause of Inflammation
A patient came to me with a surprising problem… This patient was suffering from a lack of energy. He had trouble concentrating during the day. He’d lost his appetite and was in a kind of general malaise. He’d gone to two other doctors who sent him to a lab for tests…and he brought his lab reports with him.

Senolysis by glutaminolysis inhibition ameliorates various age-associated disorders
(The Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo) A collaborative research group led by Professor Makoto Nakanishi of the Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo (IMSUT) has identified an inhibitor of the glutamate metabolic enzyme GLS1 so that its administration selectively eliminates senescent cells in vivo. They confirmed that the GLS1 inhibitor eliminated senescent cells from various organs and tissues in aged mice, ameliorating age-associated tissue dysfunction and the symptoms of obese diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and NASH. The results of this research were published in 'Science' on January 15,...

Sun receives $2.2 million from NIH for epigenetic study on arterial stiffness
(University of Tennessee Health Science Center) In humans, large arteries lose elasticity and thicken with age and other pathological conditions, leading to arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure. Age-related arterial stiffening affects a large population and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, yet it remains poorly understood, with no effective intervention.

Protein influences regeneration of vascular cells
(University of Bonn) Through their basic research, physicians at the Heart Center of the University Hospital Bonn have discovered how the communication between individual cells can be influenced with the help of a specific protein. These findings are an important approach to improving the treatment of diseases such as arteriosclerosis (calcified blood vessels), which causes heart attacks. The study was published online in advance in the " Journal of Extracellular Vesicles " , the printed version will be published shortly. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)

Preoperative sepsis is a predictive factor for 30-day mortality after major lower limb amputation among patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans and diabetes
Conclusion(s): This study suggests that cases resulting in amputation due to ASO pathology alone might have poor prognosis and that preoperative sepsis can increase perioperative mortality; hence, the decision to amputate must be considered before the development of sepsis.
