The Predictive Role of miRNAs in Hepatitis B Vaccine Response of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease Patients.

(1) Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease. Although the changes in the expression levels of microRNAs (miRNAs) in hepatitis B virus-related diseases have been evaluated, no study has evaluated the role of miRNAs in HBV vaccine response in MASLD patients. We aimed to determine the miRNA expression profile in MASLD patients according to HBV vaccine response.

Dual activity of Minnelide chemosensitize basal/triple negative breast cancer stem cells and reprograms immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype is characterized with higher EMT/stemness properties and immune suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Women with advanced TNBC exhibit aggressive disease and have limited treatment options. Although immune suppressive TME is implicated in driving aggressive properties of basal/TNBC subtype and therapy resistance, effectively targeting it remains a challenge.

The role of inflammation markers in occurrence of radial artery occlusion.

Radial artery occlusion (RAO) is a major complication of catheterization via transradial access (TRA). Our aim is to reveal the ability of high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and complete blood count (CBC) components, which are inflammation markers, to predict RAO. Patients were divided into two groups: 103 with RAO and 300 without RAO.

An Atypical Lesion in the Nasal Cavity: Glomus Tumor.

Glomus tumors are rare vascular tumors that originate in the glomus bodies. These tumors are uncommon in the head and neck region and are extremely rare in the nasal cavity. Intranasal glomus tumors mostly have a clinical and radiologic indolent behavior.
