Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Studies have shown that infections especially bacteraemia and sepsis are associated with increased risks for endothelial dysfunction and related CVDs including atherosclerosis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small, sealed membrane-derived structures that are released into body fluids and blood from cells and/or microbes and are critically involved in a variety of important cell functions and disease development, including intercellular communications, immune responses and inflammation.

The host immune response evoked by infection is complicated and can influence the development and progression of diseases. We have reported that the Group 2 innate lymphocytes (ILC2) were promoted and took part in building type-2 immunity in infection-related gastric diseases.

() infection is an important factor in the occurrence of human gastric diseases, but its pathogenic mechanism is not clear. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent reversible methylation modification in mammalian RNA and it plays a crucial role in controlling many biological processes. However, there are no studies reported that whether infection impacts the m6A methylation of stomach.

Methods: In this randomized, controlled study, 100 -positive patients with previous eradication treatment were included.
Background: Alterations in kidney function and increased risk of kidney diseases in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been reported, but the causal relationship remains unclear. Herein, Mendelian randomization was employed to identify the causal effect of inflammatory bowel disease on kidney function and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), urolithiasis, and IgA nephropathy.
Methods: The International Inflammatory Bowel Disease Genetics Consortium provided the summary-level genome-wide association study (GWAS) data that correlates with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).
Background: COMMD10 has an important role in the development of certain tumors, but its relevance to gastric cancer (GC) is unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference of COMMD10 expression in gastric adenocarcinoma (STAD) and analyze the correlation between COMMD10 expression and prognosis of STAD patients.
Methods: The expression levels of COMMD10 between STAD and normal tissues were explored using the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.
Objectives: Cag A Helicobacter pylori chronic infection cause malignant transformation of the human gastric mucosa. N6-methyladenosine (mA) modifications are the most common and abundant mRNA modifications and one of the pathways affecting tumorigenicity and tumor progression. However, the role of mA modification in the process of chronic H.

DIAPHs play a role in the regulation of actin nucleation and polymerization and in microtubule stability. DIAPH3 also regulates the assembly and bipolarity of mitotic spindles.

Background: Alternative splicing (AS) events are extensively involved in the progression of diverse tumors, but how serine/arginine-rich splicing Factor 10 (SRSF10) behaves in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been sufficiently studied. We aimed to determine SRSF10 associated AS mechanisms and their effects on HCC progression.
Methods: The expression of SRSF10 in HCC tissues was examined, and the in vitro and in vivo functions of SRSF10 were investigated.
Background/aims: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of adult pluripotent stem cell that has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, and whose conditioned medium (CM) has also been found to be effective. We used MSC and CM enemas to investigate their ameliorative effects in a mouse model of colitis.
Methods: We employed MSCs, CM, and MSCs + ML385 (an inhibitor of Nrf2) in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a new therapeutic strategy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and their efficacy has been widely recognized. However, there are still some challenges in cell therapy, including stable cell passage, laboratory conditions for cell culture, high-cost burden, and poor transplantation. The conditioned medium (CM) of MSCs is considered be an excellent alternative to cell transplantation, but the paracrine group in MSC-CM is limited in variety and low in concentration, which cannot meet the therapeutic needs of injured tissues and needs to be optimized.

Background: The sensitivity of RT-PCR in diagnosing COVID-19 is only 60-70%, and chest CT plays an indispensable role in the auxiliary diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia, but the results of CT imaging are highly dependent on professional radiologists.
Aims: This study aimed to develop a deep learning model to assist radiologists in detecting COVID-19 pneumonia.
Methods: The total study population was 437.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) produces significant systemic inflammation and increases the risk of endothelial dysfunction and peripheral artery disease. Our recent study demonstrated that abdominal aortic endothelial cell function was impaired selectively in female mice with chronic colitis. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that experimental colitis leads to femoral artery endothelial cell dysfunction and impairs limb ischemia recovery in female mice.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality despite aggressive treatment of traditional risk factors. Chronic inflammation plays an important role in the initiation and progression of CVDs. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a systemic state of inflammation exhibiting increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6.

The present protocol is developed to review and analyse published data to determine if patients with IBD have an increased CVD burden.
Methods And Analysis: We will conduct a systematic review of all observational studies that examine endothelial function, arterial stiffness and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with IBD.
Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic nonspecific inflammatory disease with unknown pathogenesis and vascular changes associated with the progression of CD. Many studies have shown that miRNAs participate in the development of CD. However, the effect of miRNAs in circulating exosomes on vascular endothelial cells in CD has not been investigated.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPopulation-based studies have suggested that patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) might be at an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. A meta-analysis was performed on clinical studies to evaluate endothelial function, arterial stiffness, and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in patients with IBD, after searching PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and Web of Science databases. A random-effects model was used to allow for the pooling of studies and for determination of the overall effect.

Aims: This study aimed to develop two deep learning models to improve the diagnostic rate.
Methods: We collected 10,593 images from 4005 patients including 2280 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and 1725 patients with chronic non-atrophic gastritis from two tertiary hospitals.
Background: The pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD) is unknown; however, angiogenesis is known to play an important role in the disease. The present research suggests that microRNA-21 (miR-21) may play a positive regulatory role in disordered angiogenesis in CD.
Methods: C57 wild-type mice were divided into 6 groups.
Background And Objective: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) produces significant local and systemic inflammation with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. IBD Patients are at an increased risk for developing endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases. The present study tested the hypothesis that IBD impairs aortic endothelial function via ROS formation and investigate potential sex-related differences.
