The correlation of the miR-29a/MMP9 axis with infection in gastric cancer.

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the association between the miR-29a/MMP9 axis expression levels and (HP) infection in gastric cancer patients.

Methods: A total of 100 gastric cancer patients referred to our hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were recruited as the study cohort. Among them, 50 HP-positive patients were included in the experimental group and 50 HP-negative patients were included in the control group.

Diagnostic value of the combined measurement of serum hcy, serum cys C, and urinary microalbumin in type 2 diabetes mellitus with early complicating diabetic nephropathy.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of end-stage kidney disease, and therefore early diagnosis and intervention may help reverse renal damage. One hundred and sixty-eight patients with T2DM and 56 healthy volunteers (control group) were enrolled at Shandong University Qilu Hospital between April 2010 and October 2012. All subjects underwent blood sampling for sera homocysteine (Hcy) and cystatin C (Cys C) assays and a urine microalbumin test.
