Potential Regulation of by miR-129-5p and miR-3613-3p and Their Prognostic Value in Gastric Cancer.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains the most common malignant tumor of the gastrointestinal tract and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), are involved in the pathogenesis and progression of GC and, therefore, may be potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Our work was aimed at investigating the predicted regulation of by miR-129-5p and miR-3613-3p and the clinical value of their aberrant expression in GC.

Analysis of Bone Phenotype Differences in MEN1-Related and Sporadic Primary Hyperparathyroidism Using 3D-DXA.

The rarity and variability of MEN1-related primary hyperparathyroidism (mPHPT) has led to contradictory data regarding the bone phenotype in this patient population. A single-center retrospective study was conducted among young age- and sex-matched patients with mPHPT and sporadic hyperparathyroidism (sPHPT). The main parameters of calcium-phosphorus metabolism, bone remodeling markers, and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements were obtained during the active phase of hyperparathyroidism before parathyroidectomy (PTE) and 1 year after.

MiRNA-21a, miRNA-145, and miRNA-221 Expression and Their Correlations with WNT Proteins in Patients with Obstructive and Non-Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease.

Unlabelled: MicroRNAs and the WNT signaling cascade regulate the pathogenetic mechanisms of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) development.

Objective: To evaluate the expression of microRNAs (miR-21a, miR-145, and miR-221) and the role of the WNT signaling cascade (WNT1, WNT3a, WNT4, and WNT5a) in obstructive CAD and ischemia with no obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA).

Method: The cross-sectional observational study comprised 94 subjects.

Diversity of Mycogenic Oxide and Chalcogenide Nanoparticles: A Review.

Oxide and chalcogenide nanoparticles have great potential for use in biomedicine, engineering, agriculture, environmental protection, and other research fields. The myco-synthesis of nanoparticles with fungal cultures, their metabolites, culture liquids, and mycelial and fruit body extracts is simple, cheap and environmentally friendly. The characteristics of nanoparticles, including their size, shape, homogeneity, stability, physical properties and biological activity, can be tuned by changing the myco-synthesis conditions.

Diversity of Biogenic Nanoparticles Obtained by the Fungi-Mediated Synthesis: A Review.

Fungi are very promising biological objects for the green synthesis of nanoparticles. Biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles using different mycological cultures and substances obtained from them is a promising, easy and environmentally friendly method. By varying the synthesis conditions, the same culture can be used to produce nanoparticles with different sizes, shapes, stability in colloids and, therefore, different biological activity.
