Paraoxonase 1 rs662 polymorphism, its related variables, and COVID-19 intensity: Considering gender and post-COVID complications.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of paraoxonase 1 (PON1) rs662 polymorphism, arylesterase (ARE) activity, and the serum lipid profile in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in different stages of the disease considering post-COVID outcomes. A total of 470 COVID-19 patients (235 female and 235 male patients) were recruited into the study, and based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, the patients were divided into three groups: moderate, severe, and critical. PON1 rs662 polymorphism was determined by the Alw 1 enzyme followed by agarose gel electrophoresis.

Influence of Disease Severity and Gender on HLA-C Methylation in COVID-19 Patients.

In the pathophysiology of COVID-19, immunomodulatory factors play a vital role. Viruses have epigenetic effects on various genes, particularly methylation. Explaining the changes in immunological factor methylation levels during viral infections requires substantial consideration.

Recent findings on hyperprolactinemia and its pathological implications: a literature review.

The prolactin hormone (PRL) is often secreted by lactotrophic cells of the anterior pituitary and has been shown to play a role in various biological processes, including breast feeding and reproduction. The predominant form of this hormone is the 23 kDa form and acts through its receptor (PRLR) on the cell membrane. This receptor is a member of the superfamily of hematopoietic/cytokine receptors.

CCR2 and DPP9 expression in the peripheral blood of COVID-19 patients: Influences of the disease severity and gender.

Introduction: Hyper-inflammatory reactions play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of the severe forms of COVID-19. However, clarification of the molecular basis of the inflammatory-related factors needs more consideration. The aim was to evaluate the gene expression of two fundamental molecules contributing to the induction of inflammatory like CCR2 and DPP9 in cells from peripheral blood samples from patients with various patterns of COVID-19.

The effect of chrysin-curcumin-loaded nanofibres on the wound-healing process in male rats.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to produce chrysin-curcumin-loaded PCL-PEG nanofibres by an electrospinning technique and to evaluate the biological activity of the chrysin-curcumin-loaded PCL-PEG fibres for wound healing and its related genes using in vivo methods.

Materials And Methods: The electrospinning method was carried out for the preparation of the chrysin, curcumin and chrysin-curcumin-loaded PCL-PEG nanofibres with different concentrations. FTIR and SEM were performed to characterize the chemical structures and morphology of the nanofibres.

The role of tumor suppressor of resveratrol and prednisolone by downregulation of YKL-40 expression in CCRF-CEM cell line.

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by excessive accumulation of lymphoblast and progenitors. Leukemia is the most common cancer in children and ALL is the most common subtype. Many studies have shown that the YKL-40 gene is one of the most widely expressed genes in tumors, including leukemia, but not in healthy blood cells.

Combination therapy using evening primrose oil and electrical stimulation to improve nerve function following a crush injury of sciatic nerve in male rats.

Peripheral nerve injuries with a poor prognosis are common. Evening primrose oil (EPO) has beneficial biological effects and immunomodulatory properties. Since electrical activity plays a major role in neural regeneration, the present study investigated the effects of electrical stimulation (ES), combined with evening primrose oil (EPO), on sciatic nerve function after a crush injury in rats.

The effect of chrysin-loaded nanofiber on wound healing process in male rat.

Wound healing is an inflammatory process. Chrysin, a natural flavonoid found in honey, has been recently investigated to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In this work, the effects of chrysin-loaded nanofiber on the expressions of genes that are related to wound healing process such as P53, TIMPs, MMPs, iNOS, and IL-6 in an animal model study were evaluated.

The Effect of Chrysin Loaded PLGA-PEG on Metalloproteinase Gene Expression in Mouse 4T1 Tumor Model.

Despite the advances in medicine, cancer remains as one of the leading causes of the death worldwide. Through our previous study, the Chrysin loaded PGLA/PEG has been synthesized, and its physico-chemical properties were characterized. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the Chrysin loaded PGLA/PEG nanoparticle therapeutic effects on TIMP-1, TIMP-2, MMP-2, MMP-9 and PI3k expression in Mouse 4T1 breast tumor model.
