Modulation of γδ T cells by USF3: Implications for liver fibrosis and immune regulation.

Previous studies have established that γδ T cells play a significant role in liver fibrosis. However, their specific functions and mechanisms in fibrotic liver tissue remain unclear. Using online microarray expression profiles, we observed that USF3 was upregulated in patients with liver fibrosis and was associated with immune cells.

Effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors on adipose tissue distribution in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors therapies were reported to affect adipose tissue distribution. However, the available evidence about the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitor on adipose tissue is contradictory. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors on adipose tissue distribution in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Acute cardiac injury in adult hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Zhuhai, China.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has already became a public health emergency of international concern. COVID-19 related cardiac injury remains largely unclear.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed demographic, clinical, laboratory and cardiovascular imaging data of all consecutively admitted adult COVID-19 patients in Zhuhai, China from January 17th, 2020 to February 18th, 2020.

Long-term cardiac-specific mortality among 44,292 acute myeloid leukemia patients treated with chemotherapy: a population-based analysis.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a common hematological malignancy treated with regimens containing anthracycline, an agent with cardiotoxicity. However, the cardiac-specific mortality in AML patients receiving chemotherapy remains unknown. In this population-based study, patients diagnosed with AML between 1973 and 2015 were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database.
