In recent times, the rising prevalence of obesity and its associated comorbidities have had a severe impact on human health and social progress. Therefore, scientists are delving deeper into the pathogenesis of obesity, exploring the role of non-coding RNAs. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), once regarded as mere "noise" during genome transcription, have now been confirmed through numerous studies to regulate gene expression and contribute to the occurrence and progression of several human diseases.

T cells, particularly T helper cells, play a crucial role in the disease. Non-coding RNAs, which are RNAs that do not code for proteins, mainly include microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, play a role in regulating various biological processes.

Background: The close anatomic relationship of the primary tooth to the permanent tooth germ explains why traumatic dental injuries in primary dentition may affect the development of permanent teeth especially in the maxillary anterior region. Developmental defects of enamel (DDE) as well as crown/root dilacerations are often seen after displacement injuries such as intrusion or avulsion occurring at lower age.
This study enrolled 202 patients with diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease residing in the Far North. They were selected from 8753 subjects included in the Registry of performed coronary angiographies. The control group contained 196 patients with CHD and DM2 residing in the south of Tyumen region.

Study Design: This retrospective study involved 382 patients with type 2 DM selected from 8,573 patients with angiographic CAD (>50% stenosis).
Aims: To assess the relationship between asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH) and manifestations of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods And Results: A total of 5128 consecutive patients with proven diagnosis of CAD were examined. There were 2469 patients with left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH) (48.
Joint effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) and extreme natural conditions of the Far North on the clinical course of coronary heart disease (CHD) remains poorly known. Specific features of DM2 concomitant with CHD were studied in 243 of the 8573 subjects living in Far North areas of the Tyumen region and examined by coronarography (mean age 53.4 +/- 0.

To understand this process, it is important to identify genes involved in lineage commitment and maturation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Recently we isolated the novel gene MYADM which is strongly up-regulated as multipotent progenitor cells differentiate towards myeloid cells.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFProliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors are regulated by signals from the microenvironment, involving both secreted cytokines and adhesion molecules. The exact mechanisms by which cytokines act on hematopoietic development are still not well understood. To extend the molecular characterization of gene regulation during cytokine-induced hematopoiesis, we applied mRNA differential display to identify genes regulated when multipotent progenitor cells are allowed to differentiate into monocytes and neutrophils.

The results of a prolonged (more than 18 years), comprehensive study have revealed that stable natural foci of tularemia in backwater swamps are widely spread in the Leningrad region. These foci are located in the narrow swampy flood-plains of small watercourses with adjacent meadow areas among forests. Water from such small watercourses can often serve as the indicator of the epizootic process: during the above-mentioned period 346 Francicella tularensis strain have been isolated from water and 86 strains from small mammals.
