CD177 Deficiency Defines a Stable Subtype of Human Neutrophil Granulocytes with Tumor Promoting Activity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Human neutrophils exist as two epigenetically imprinted subtypes defined by stable CD177 expression or absence — a ratio that persists across time, circadian rhythms, and inflammation. CD177− neutrophils display a distinct molecular landscape enriched in arginase 1 and lipid metabolism markers, accumulate in head‐and‐neck tumors, and associate with ...

Apolipoprotein F is reduced in humans with steatosis and controls plasma triglyceride‐rich lipoprotein metabolism

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Hepatic APOF transcript levels correlate inversely with plasma TG and hepatic steatosis in humans. ApoF expression in mice promotes VLDL‐TG production and lipoprotein remnant clearance in mice. Abstract Background NAFLD affects nearly 25% of the global population. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death among patients with NAFLD,

Exploitation of Aspergillus terreus for the Production of Natural Statins

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2016
The fungus Aspergillus (A.) terreus has dominated the biological production of the “blockbuster” drugs known as statins. The statins are a class of drugs that inhibit HMG-CoA reductase and lead to lower cholesterol production.

Gender difference in hipolipemic and anti-inflammatory effects of statins in diabetics with coronary artery disease [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2009
Background/Aim. Statins produce hipolipemic and pleotropic effects on markers of inflammation with stabilization of atheromatous plaque. The aim of this paper was to examine gender difference in hipolipemic and antiinflammatory effects of statins in ...

Statins dose-dependently exert a chemopreventive effect against lung cancer in COPD patients: a population-based cohort study

open access: yes, 2017
Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased lung cancer risk. We evaluated the association of statin use with lung cancer risk in COPD patients and identified which statins possess the highest chemopreventive ...

Validation of the Patient Health Questionnaire‐2 (PHQ‐2) in Detecting Depression Among Older Adults

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
PHQ‐2 effectively screens for geriatric depression with the optimal cut‐off of 3 points. ABSTRACT Objectives Depression screening tools like the Patient Health Questionnaire‐2 (PHQ‐2) are commonly used to detect depression. However, its performance in elderly populations has been less extensively studied compared to its broader adult use.

Improved Detection of Myositis‐Specific Autoantibodies Using Luciferase Immunoprecipitation Systems Assay: Comparison With Line Blot and Conventional Immunoprecipitation

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Myositis‐specific autoantibodies guide the diagnosis and classification of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, but current immunoassays vary in accuracy, particularly for autoantibodies associated with interstitial lung disease. To compare the performance of the luciferase immunoprecipitation systems (LIPS) assay with line blot and ...

Nicotinamide riboside and pterostilbene reduces markers of hepatic inflammation in NAFLD: A double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trial

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
NRPT 1X reduces ALT and ceramide 14:0 in 65% of subjects as compared to only 28% in the placebo group. Abstract Background and Aims The prevalence of NAFLD is increasing globally and on a path to becoming the most frequent cause of chronic liver disease. Strategies for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD are urgently needed.
