1. Understanding Thyroid Function A normal thyroid gland is important for the body's growth, behavior, and psychological and neurological development. The main function of the thyroid gland is to produce, store, and secrete thyroid hormones (TH), including thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and is regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. TH has a role in regulating mood, brain ...
Cytokines are a type of small molecule proteins with broad biological activities that are synthesized and secreted by immune cells (such as monocytes, macrophages, T cells, B cells, NK cells, etc.) and certain non-immune cells (endothelial cells, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, etc.) upon stimulation. 1. Gram-negative (G-) and Gram-positive (G+) bacterial infections can be differentiated Cytokines ...

How can vitamin D deficiency impact overall well-being? ♣ Vitamin D deficiency rickets (nutritional rickets) Vitamin D deficiency during childhood can lead to rickets in children, causing growth delays and skeletal deformities. Essentially, Vitamin D deficiency rickets is a form of osteomalacia. The onset of this condition is gradual, often occurring in infants between the ages of 3 month...
♣ Vitamin B12, also known as adenosylcobalamin or cyanocobalamin, is an essential water-soluble vitamin. It plays a key role in the body, including maintaining the normal function of the nervous system, promoting the production of red blood cells, and supporting DNA synthesis. The main difference between active B12 and B12 lies in their chemical forms and bioavailability. 1. Chemical form: B...
Cytokines are small molecule polypeptides or glycoproteins secreted by a variety of cells that play an important role in the development, differentiation and functional regulation of immune cells, and the autoregulatory network of the body's immune function system depends on the balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. 1. Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis Systemic juv...
As an important bioactive substance, the role and power of cytokines in the human body have been widely recognized. From infectious diseases and hematology to oncology, the application of cytokines has demonstrated its powerful monitoring and therapeutic potential. In gynecological clinical practice, cytokine detection is an important auxiliary diagnostic tool, which helps doctors evaluate the imm...
1. What is KL-6? KL-6 is recognized as a valid indicator of lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis, and is expressed on the surface of type II alveolar epithelial cells, in normal lung tissue and terminal bronchiolar epithelial cells. It is expressed in very small amounts, and is enhanced in degenerative (proliferating, regenerating, or damaged) type II alveolar epithelial cells, which is directly rel...
