Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD), which is a neurodegenerative disease, requires urgently needed biomarkers to explore its mechanism. We screened for differences in the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) and identified miR-1976 as a possible biomarker.

Methods: Twenty-three patients and 30 controls were included in this study.

Objectives: The standard definition of pediatric acute kidney injury (AKI) is evolving, especially for critically ill in the PICU. We sought to validate the application of the Pediatric Reference Change Value Optimized for Acute Kidney Injury in Children (pROCK) criteria in critically ill children.

Design: Multicenter retrospective study.

As more and more studies have shown that venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) improves oxygenation and prognosis of critical patients, VV-ECMO has been frequently used in critical patients for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Prone positioning (PP) is a postural therapy for ARDS, which permits for better ventilation/perfusion ratio (V/Q) matching, improvement of hypoxemia. Some articles revealed that performing PP during ECMO for refractory respiratory failure is feasible; however, the results obtained were controversial.

Background And Purpose: COVID-19 is spreading throughout the whole world as a public health issue. There is a link between the new coronavirus and changes in biochemical indicators, such as coagulation functions. Hypercoagulable state of blood caused by infections may lead to cerebrovascular diseases.

Overactivation of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) can improve cardiac function temporarily but promotes the development and mortality of heart failure (HF) in the long run. CircRNA, a member of noncoding RNAs, can tolerate digestion of exonuclease and be a chronic stimulator to cell. But the relationship of circRNA with HF remains a puzzle and needs to be explored.

Neuroblastoma (NB) is an aggressive cancer that originates in the sympathetic nervous system and primarily affects children. Here, we show that high levels of RAD52 motif containing 1 (RDM1; a protein with similarities to RAD52, which is important for double-strand DNA repair) are associated with poor clinical outcomes for NB. In addition, RDM1 cells exhibited increased sensitivity to cisplatin, a common chemotherapy drug, and disruption of suppressed NB cell proliferation.
