Protection roles of serum vitamin D levels in the cardiovascular system. This observational study enrolled 286 young ACI patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in our Hospital from October 2016 to April 2020 as the study group. 127 healthy individuals as the control group.

Prediction Model between Serum Vitamin D and Neurological Deficit in Cerebral Infarction Patients Based on Machine Learning.

Objective: Vitamin D is associated with neurological deficits in patients with cerebral infarction. This study uses machine learning to evaluate the prediction model's efficacy of the correlation between vitamin D and neurological deficit in patients with cerebral infarction.

Methods: A total of 200 patients with cerebral infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology of our hospital from July 2018 to June 2019 were selected.

Complementary Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analysis in the Substantia Nigra of Parkinson's Disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a disease that involves brain damage and is associated with neuroinflammation, mitochondrial damage, and cell aging. However, the pathogenic mechanism of PD is still unknown. Sequencing data and proteomic data can describe the fluctuation of molecular abundance in diseases at the mRNA level and protein level, respectively.

Risk factors for cognitive impairment in patients with first-time ischemic stroke.

Objective: To determine the risk factors for cognitive impairment (CI) in patients with first-time ischemic stroke.

Methods: The clinical data of 180 patients with ischemic stroke who were admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 was retrospectively analyzed. Patients with MMSE score ≤24 were included into the CI group and the rest of the patients were placed into the normal group.

Dysregulation of lncRNA SNHG1/miR-145 axis affects the biological function of human carotid artery smooth muscle cells as a mechanism of carotid artery restenosis.

Carotid angioplasty and stenting have developed into reliable options for patients with carotid stenosis. However, postoperative restenosis remains a serious and unresolved problem. Restenosis is partly caused by the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells.

Long non-coding RNA cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense ribonucleic acid 1 is associated with in-stent restenosis and promotes human carotid artery smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration by sponging miR-143-3p.

Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is an efficient therapeutic approach for carotid stenosis. However, in-stent restenosis (ISR) frequently occurs and seriously affects the therapeutic efficacy of CAS. Certain non-coding (nc)RNAs serve potential roles in ISR development and progression.

Edaravone Dexborneol Versus Edaravone Alone for the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Comparative Trial.

Background And Purpose: Edaravone dexborneol, comprised of 2 active ingredients, edaravone and (+)-borneol, has been developed as a novel neuroprotective agent with synergistic effects of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory in animal models. The present clinical trial aimed at testing the effects of edaravone dexborneol versus edaravone on 90-day functional outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Methods: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, comparative, phase III clinical trial was conducted at 48 hospitals in China between May 2015 and December 2016.

Long non-coding RNA LINC01194 promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells by targeting miR-641/SETD7 axis.

Background: It is increasingly evidenced that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in various diseases. LncRNA LINC01194 acts as an oncogene in several cancer types. Nevertheless, the role of LINC01194 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not yet been revealed.

Relevance of dissolved organic matter generated from green manuring of Chinese milk vetch in relation to water-soluble cadmium.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) can become a carrier of soil contaminants. Therefore, an understanding of the evolution and characteristics of DOM produced by Chinese milk vetch during green manuring is crucial. In this study, DOM solutions from 28 days' manuring with three different organic materials were characterized using three-dimensional fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) with parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy.

Correlation between serum vitamin B12 level and peripheral neuropathy in atrophic gastritis.

Aim: To explore the correlation between serum vitamin B12 level and peripheral neuropathy in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG).

Methods: A total of 593 patients diagnosed with chronic gastritis by gastroscopy and pathological examination from September 2013 to September 2016 were selected for this study. The age of these patients ranged within 18- to 75-years-old.
