Relationship between interleukin-10 -1082A/G polymorphism and risk of ischemic stroke: a meta-analysis.

Objective: To analyze the association between -1082A/G polymorphism in interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene and ischemic stroke (IS) risk by meta-analysis.

Methods: We carried out a systematic electronic search in PubMed, BIOSIS Previews, Science Direct, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Database, Weipu database and WANGFANG Database. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were calculated to assess the strength of the association.

Interleukin-10-1082A/G and -592C/A polymorphisms with risk of Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis.

Several studies have been conducted in recent years to evaluate the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) and polymorphisms of interleukin-10 (IL-10). However, the results were conflicting. Therefore, we performed this meta-analysis of published case-control studies to assess this association.

The genetic profiling of preferentially expressed genes in murine splenic CD8α+ dendritic cells.

In the murine splenocytes, CD8α+ dendritic cells (abbreviated as 8+DC) and CD8α- dendritic cells (abbreviated as 8-DC) are identified with some vague features for each of them. 8+DCs but not 8-DCs cross-prime cytotoxic T cells in vivo. We aim to distinguish the two subtypes of DC based on gene expression profiling.
