Metabolomic Profiling Reveals Biomarkers in Coronary Heart Disease Comorbidity. [PDF]

J Diabetes Res
Background and Aims: Coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension (HTN), depression (Dep), and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are often comorbid, resulting in an exacerbated patient condition and worsened prognosis. A lack of systematic metabolomic studies on comorbidities of CHD remains.

Roles of mineral matter in biomass processing to biofuels

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 696-717, May/June 2023., 2023
Abstract Minerals in biomass have a significant impact on both biofuel quality and yield. This is especially true for current thermochemical biomass conversion processes. However, the roles of plant minerals in biochemical conversion have not been studied extensively, even though they are generally considered to lower the sugar yield because they ...

Combination of 5‐Fluorouracil with Photodynamic Therapy: Enhancement of Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses in a Murine Model of Actinic Keratosis†

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 99, Issue 2, Page 437-447, March/April 2023., 2023
Mechanisms of action when 5‐fluorouracil (5FU) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are combined to treat squamous precancer lesions. 5FU inhibits thymidylate synthase, damages DNA and RNA and activates p53. 5FU also induces antitumor immunity by suppressing myeloid‐derived suppressor cells, activating damage‐associated molecules (DAMPs), recruiting immune ...

Plasma matrix metalloproteinase 2 is associated with severity and mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life‐threatening disease characterized by vasoconstriction and remodeling of the pulmonary vessels. Risk stratification in PAH could potentially be improved by including novel biomarkers related to PAH pathobiology.

A scoring system for predicting downgrading and resolution of high‐grade infant vesicoureteral reflux

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 347-356, January 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim Aim of the study was to provide a scoring system for predicting downgrading and resolution of infantile high‐grade vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Methods Eighty‐nine infants (65 boys) with high‐grade VUR (grade 4‐5) diagnosed at median age 2.5 months and followed to 39 months had repeated investigations of VUR grade, renal damage/function ...

Metabolomic Evaluation of Chronic Periodontal Disease in Older Adults

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Periodontal disease is an infectious inflammatory disease related to the destruction of supporting tissues of the teeth, leading to a functional loss of the teeth. Inflammatory molecules present in the exudate are catalyzed and form different metabolites that can be identified and quantified.

Frontiers in translational systemic sclerosis research: A focus on the unmet 'cutaneous' clinical needs (Viewpoint)

Experimental Dermatology, Volume 29, Issue 12, Page 1144-1153, December 2020., 2020
Abstract This viewpoint considers four cutaneous unmet clinical needs of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), namely the rapidly progressive skin thickening (scleroderma) which occurs early on in diffuse cutaneous disease; digital (finger and toe) ulcers; calcinosis; and cutaneous telangiectases.

Skeletal stem cell‐mediated suppression on inflammatory osteoclastogenesis occurs via concerted action of cell adhesion molecules and osteoprotegerin

STEM CELLS Translational Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 261-272, February 2020., 2020
Abstract In the current study, we investigated how skeletal stem cells (SSCs) modulate inflammatory osteoclast (OC) formation and bone resorption. Notably, we found that intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1), vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM‐1), and osteoprotegerin (OPG) play a synergistic role in SSC‐mediated suppression of inflammatory ...

Research Progress of Drug Prophylaxis for Lens Capsule Opacification after Cataract Surgery

Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the international standard operation procedure for cataract and has been generalized worldwide. However, lens capsule opacification, one of the common complications after cataract surgery, impacts the recovery of patients’ visual function to a large extent.
