Serum Glucose-Phosphate Ratio on Admission as a Potential Biomarker for Severity, Functional Outcome, and Recurrence in Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Background And Objective: Raised serum glucose-phosphate ratio on admission is associated with severity and poor outcome of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and severe traumatic brain injury. However, its role in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains still unknown. Therefore, this prospective study aimed to investigate the association between admission serum glucose-phosphate ratio and the severity and 1-year clinical outcome of AIS.

Ajpacifastin-like is involved in the immune response of Apostichopus japonicus challenged by Vibrio splendidus.

Pacifastin proteins are previously found to regulate the phenoloxidase system in invertebrates and arthropods. In this study, the immune response that was regulated by Ajpacifastin-like in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus was determined. RNA interference was used to knock down the expression of the Ajpacifastin-like gene in A.

Cloning and functional analysis of a pacifastin-like protein from the sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus.

Pacifastin family proteins play a crucial role in regulating innate immune responses such as phagocytosis in invertebrates. However, the function of the Ajpacifastin-like counterpart in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus remains elusive. In this study, the pacifastin gene of A.
