Genetic polymorphisms of IL-17A, IL-17F, TLR4 and miR-146a in association with the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis

Scientific Reports, 2016
Genetic factors affect host susceptibility to pathogens. In this population-based case control study, we explored the genetic polymorphisms of IL-17, TLR4 and miR-146a in association with pulmonary tuberculosis in a Chinese Han population.

Integrative Genomics Reveals Causal Pleiotropy and Therapeutic Opportunities at the Interface of Acute Pancreatitis and Infection

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Understanding the genetic links between acute pancreatitis (AP) and its infectious comorbidities is crucial for prognosis and therapy, yet remains underexplored. Methods We conducted a comprehensive post‐GWAS analysis using large‐scale summary statistics for AP and 16 infectious diseases. To pinpoint pleiotropic genes, we integrated

Diagnostic performance of adenosine deaminase activity in pleural fluid in tuberculous pleural effusion and relevant factors: a single-center experience with 1,491 consecutive patients

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Objective Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a widely-used diagnostic test for tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE), but its accuracy, optimal diagnostic threshold and relevant factors are controversial or unclear. We aimed to reassess these diagnostic variables

Nanopore-targeted sequencing: A new and effective technique for the diagnosis of non-tuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease

International Journal of Medical Microbiology
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) has become a significant public health issue threatening human health in recent years. Traditional mycobacterial culture is complex, time-consuming, and unable to identify NTM at the species level ...

Distinguishing lung cancer from atypical tuberculosis: Deep transfer learning and imaging omics features

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
The 3D‐ResNet model demonstrates superior discriminative power in differentiating lung cancer from atypical tuberculosis by leveraging deep omics features derived from volumetric lung cancer imaging, outperforming conventional clinical and radiomic analyses.

Polymorphism in the EREG gene confers susceptibility to tuberculosis

BMC Medical Genetics, 2019
Background Host genetic factors affect the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection as well as the progression of the disease. Epiregulin (EREG) belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, which binds to the epidermal growth
