Association of MCP-4, NRTN, and PD-L1 with the risk of hepatic fibrosis: A Mendelian randomization study.
Medicine (Baltimore)
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- * This study used Mendelian randomization (MR) with data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to explore if inflammatory cytokines and blood metabolites influence HF risk.
- * Results indicated that high levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-4 (MCP-4) and neurturin (NRTN) may increase HF risk, while programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) showed a protective effect; however, no clear connections were found for other cytokines.
Daucosterol is a phytosterol glycoside with hepatoprotective properties. The objective of the present study was to confirm the role of daucosterol in liver failure. Exosomes were isolated from primary mouse umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs).

Methods: Sixty-two IBS-D modeled rats were established, and were randomly assigned to the control group (n = 31) and the experimental group (n = 31). The model group did not receive intervention measures, and the experimental group was treated with SUCT-CHM.
Objective: To observe the effect of heat-sensitive moxibustion at "Zhongwan" (CV 12) on serum growth hormone (GH) and pepsinogen (PG) in chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) rats, and to explore the potential mechanism of heat-sensitive moxibustion for CAG.
Methods: A total of 66 male SD rats were randomized into a blank group (12 rats) and a model establishment group (54 rats). No intervention was given in the blank group.
