Association between omega-6 fatty acid intake and asthma in US children and adolescents.

Background: Asthma is an inflammatory disease. The potential of omega-6 fatty acids to alleviate asthma symptoms through their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects has been investigated. However, the association of dietary omega-6 fatty acids in childhood and adolescent asthma remains controversial.

The association between n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid intakes and asthma in US children and adolescents: A cross-sectional study from NHANES.

Background: Asthma is an inflammatory disease. The potential of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to alleviate asthma symptoms through their anti-inflammatory effects and immune modulation has been explored. However, the precise role of dietary n-3 PUFAs in childhood and adolescent asthma remains unclear.

Association between CIRP expression and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in neonatal rats.

The role of cold inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) in mediating ischemic brain injury in neonatal rats under chronic hypobaric hypoxia was investigated. The neonatal rat model of chronic hypobaric hypoxia and the cell culture model of SH-SY5Y cells exposed to hypoxia (1% O) were constructed. The expression of CIRP and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) was detected after hypoxic exposure, and the apoptosis-related proteins were analyzed via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) and western blot analysis to detect neuronal apoptosis.
