Isosilybin A exhibits anti-inflammatory properties in rosacea by inhibiting MAPK pathway and M1 macrophage polarization.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, which is prone to flares and requires continuous management and treatment. However, long-term use of drugs can lead to additional adverse drug reactions. Based on the comorbid relationship between rosacea and Parkinson's disease, bioinformatics and network pharmacology analysis were used to identify a safer drug for rosacea.

Association of triglyceride glucose index and triglyceride glucose-body mass index with sudden cardiac arrest in the general population.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) significantly contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) are recognised as convenient proxies for IR. However, their relationship with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) remains unclear.

Effects of Virtual Reality-Assisted and Overground Gait Adaptation Training on Balance and Walking Ability in Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: This study compared the effects of virtual reality-assisted gait adaptation training with the overground gait adaptation training on balance and walking in patients with stroke.

Methods: Fifty-four eligible patients were enrolled. All patients were randomly divided into a virtual reality and control group, with 27 patients in each group.

Morvan syndrome associated with LGI1 antibody: a case report.

Background: Morvan syndrome (MoS) is a rare autoimmune syndrome associated with antibodies against two kinds of potassium channel proteins, contactin associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2) and leucine-rich glioma inactivated protein 1 (LGI1). MoS patients with only LGI1-antibody seropositivity have rarely been reported. Here, we describe a 64-year-old male MoS patient with only LGI1-antibody seropositivity.

Correlation Between SIRT2 3'UTR Gene Polymorphism and the Susceptibility to Alzheimer's Disease.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the 3' end of the untranslated region (UTR) of Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) gene and the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), and to explore its underlying mechanisms. In total, 260 patients with AD and 260 healthy controls were recruited in this study. The genotype of rs2015 and rs2241703 loci of the SIRT2 gene was analyzed by Sanger sequencing for all participants.

Long noncoding RNA eosinophil granule ontogeny transcript inhibits cell proliferation and migration and promotes cell apoptosis in human glioma.

Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor and represents one of the most aggressive and lethal types of human cancer. Recent advances have implicated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as crucial mediators of cancer development and progression. The present study aimed to investigate the role of a newly-discovered lncRNA, termed eosinophil granule ontogeny transcript (EGOT), in the aggressive abilities of cells in human glioma.

[Observation on effect of Wuling Capsule in treating poststroke depression].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Wuling Capsule (WLC) in treating patients with poststroke depression.

Methods: One hundred and eight patients with poststroke depression were randomly assigned to three groups, 36 in each. All were treated with routine medicine, but to the WLC group and the FLX group, additional WLC and fluoxetine was given respectively, while to the combined group, both of the two were given.
