Pathway Analyses of Inherited Neuropathies Identify Putative Common Mechanisms of Axon Degeneration
ABSTRACT Objective Inherited neuropathies (IN) are associated with over 100 different genetic mutations presenting with a variety of phenotypes. This complexity suggests multiple pathways may converge onto a limited number of downstream pathways to effect axonal injury.

Cholesterol efflux capacity, high-density lipoprotein function, and atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND High-density lipoprotein (HDL) may provide cardiovascular protection by promoting reverse cholesterol transport from macrophages. We hypothesized that the capacity of HDL to accept cholesterol from macrophages would serve as a predictor of ...

Worldwide, coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke are the leading causes of death and disability. Observational studies have shown that higher blood total cholesterol is associated with an increased risk of CHD, and randomized trials have shown that drugs that lower cholesterol substantially can reduce the risk both of CHD and ischemic stroke.

Observational Study of Tocilizumab in Children With Febrile Infection‐Related Epilepsy Syndrome
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of using tocilizumab in children with febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) and explore tocilizumab‐related changes in interleukin (IL)‐6 levels. Methods Patients with FIRES admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Beijing Children's Hospital were retrospectively ...

HDL cholesterol efflux capacity and incident cardiovascular events.
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration plays a causal role in atherosclerosis. A more important factor may be HDL cholesterol efflux capacity, the ability of HDL to accept cholesterol from macrophages ...
