Thymic stromal lymphopoietin suppresses markers of neuroinflammation and the JAK2/STAT5 pathway in activated microglia.

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is highly expressed in the central nervous system in response to inflammation, but its exact function remains unclear. In this study, we used a model of LPS-stimulated microglia to investigate the direct impact of TSLP on microglial activation and the underlying mechanism. We measured oxidative stress, expression of microglial activation markers, and inflammatory indexes.

Sleep Deprivation Increases the Anesthetic Potency of Sevoflurane Regardless of Duration.

Background: Sleep deprivation reduced the time to induce anesthesia by propofol and isoflurane and prolonged the time to recovery. However, it is unknown whether sleep deprivation affects the potency of inhaled anesthetics. In this study, the effect of sleep deprivation on sevoflurane anesthetic potency was explored.

Identification of miRNA biomarkers for stomach adenocarcinoma.

Background: Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) is a common malignant tumor in the world and its prognosis is poor, miRNA plays a role mainly by influencing the expression of mRNAs, and participates in the occurrence and development of tumors. However, reliable miRNA prognostic models for stomach adenocarcinoma remain to be identified.

Results: Using the data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), a prognostic model of stomach adenocarcinoma was established including tumor stage and expression levels of 4 miRNAs (hsa-miR-379-3p, hsa-miR-2681-3p, hsa-miR-6499-5p and hsa-miR-6807-3p).
