To identify the key influencing factors and analyze the internal relationship among the factors of individual interest in PE, we conducted a cross-sectional survey of a large sample of Chinese young students based on the decision tree model. A total of 3,640 young students ( = 14.16; 7-18 years; SD = 2.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection hospitalized develop an acute cardiovascular syndrome. It is urgent to elucidate underlying mechanisms associated with the acute cardiac injury in T2D hearts. We performed bioinformatic analysis on the expression profiles of public datasets to identify the pathogenic and prognostic genes in T2D hearts.

Materials And Methods: MR-guided MWA was performed in nine VX2 tumor-bearing rabbits. Infrared thermal imaging, postoperative MRI, and pathological presentation were obtained and analyzed.
Objective: To evaluate the role of matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Methods: Five milliliters of peripheral venous blood were extracted form 36 patients with COPD, subdivided into stable group (CS group, n = 12), exacerbation group (CE group, n = 12), and exacerbation group with glucocorticosteroids treatment (CE + G group, n = 12), and 12 normal controls. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated and the mRNA expressions of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 therein in each group were measured by RT-PCR quantitative analysis.
