SYNPO2 promotes the development of BLCA by upregulating the infiltration of resting mast cells and increasing the resistance to immunotherapy.

Synaptopodin 2 (SYNPO2) plays a pivotal role in regulating tumor growth, development and progression in bladder urothelial Carcinoma (BLCA). However, the precise biological functions and mechanisms of SYNPO2 in BLCA remain unclear. Based on TCGA database‑derived BLCA RNA sequencing data, survival analysis and prognosis analysis indicate that elevated SYNPO2 expression was associated with poor survival outcomes.

Prognostic Value of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients.

Objective: To determine prognostic role of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in intensive care patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Materials And Methods: From December 2018 to July 2021, a total of 91 eligible patients with AMI were consecutively examined in a single intensive care unit (ICU) in China. Patients with a history of acute coronary artery disease were excluded from the study.

Severe intracranial infection caused by community-acquired hypervirulent : A case report.

Hypervirulent (HvKp) is a dynamic pathotype characterized by heightened mucoviscosity and virulence, typically afflicting individuals within the community, who commonly exhibit good health. We presented a case study of a 65-year-old male with diabetes who developed community acquired pneumonia, septic shock, and intracranial infection. The diagnosis was established through cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), typical clinical presentation, and biological culture.

Clinical efficacy and safety of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in acute hypoxaemic patients with COVID-19: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: When COVID-19 patients develop hypoxaemic respiratory failure, they often undergo early intubation. Such a potentially aerosol-generating approach places caregivers at increased risk of contracting COVID-19. This protocol aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) for the treatment of COVID-19 patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure.

Long Non-coding RNA H19 Augments Hypoxia/Reoxygenation-Induced Renal Tubular Epithelial Cell Apoptosis and Injury by the miR-130a/BCL2L11 Pathway.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe kidney disease defined by partial or abrupt loss of renal function. Emerging evidence indicates that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), particularly long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), function as essential regulators in AKI development. Here we aimed to explore the underlying molecular mechanism of the lncRNA H19/miR-130a axis for the regulation of inflammation, proliferation, and apoptosis in kidney epithelial cells.

Integrated genomics analysis highlights important SNPs and genes implicated in moderate-to-severe asthma based on GWAS and eQTL datasets.

Background: Severe asthma is a chronic disease contributing to disproportionate disease morbidity and mortality. From the year of 2007, many genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have documented a large number of asthma-associated genetic variants and related genes. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of these identified variants involved in asthma or severe asthma risk remains largely unknown.

Challenges in diagnosing community-acquired carbapenem-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii enterogenic sepsis: A case report.

Introduction: Community-acquired (CA) carbapenem-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii (CSAB) enterogenic sepsis is very rare but has a high mortality. Although CA A. baumannii bloodstream infections have been known to develop from respiratory tract, urinary tract, and intravenous device-related infections, CA A.

Ulinastatin inhibits apoptosis induced by serum deprivation in mesenchymal stem cells.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have exhibited great potential in the therapy of cardiovascular disease. However, the application of MSCs is hampered by apoptosis, which reduces the number of cells in the host cardiac microenvironment. Ulinastatin (UTI), a broad‑spectrum protease inhibitor that can be purified from human urine, has attracted attention for its protective effects through its immunomodulatory and anti‑inflammatory properties.

Effects of Ca2+-activated potassium and inward rectifier potassium channel on the differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells from human peripheral blood.

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are bone marrow-derived cells that have the propensity to differentiate into mature endothelial cells (ECs). The transplantation of EPCs has been shown to enhance in vivo postnatal neo-vasculogenesis, as well as repair infarcted myocardium. Via the whole-cell patch clamp technique, numerous types of ion channels have been detected in EPCs, including the inward rectifier potassium channel (IKir), Ca2+-activated potassium channel (IKCa), and volume-sensitive chloride channel, but their influence on the differentiation of EPCs has yet to be characterized.
