Downregulation of and Its Impact on and Expression in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Implications for Biomarker Discovery and Disease Pathogenesis.

Background: This study is designed to investigate the differential microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The focus is on miRNAs that play a crucial role in the onset and progression of T2DM, particularly in glucose metabolism, inflammation, platelet reactivity, and endothelial dysfunction.

Methods: Twenty samples were categorized into groups of T2DM and non-T2DM, and miRNA profiling was conducted using microarray analysis.

Upregulation of miR-20a-5p as the Potential MicroRNA Marker in Red Blood Cell Storage Lesion.

Background: Packed red blood cells (PRBCs) can be preserved for 42 days, and stored PRBCs have slow, dangerous changes over time during storage. miRNA is approximately 22 nucleotides long, a small single-stranded noncoding RNA molecule. miRNA guides by pairing bases with their downstream target mRNA to regulate negative expression.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Proportion Estimates of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) in Malaria.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a potentially life-threatening condition that causes systemic coagulation to be turned on and coagulation factors to be used up. However, the evidence for DIC in malaria patients is still not clear, and small case series and retrospective studies have shown varying results. This meta-analysis was intended for the evaluation of the evidence of DIC among malaria patients using a meta-analysis approach.

Association between Rhesus Blood Groups and Malaria Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

In the literature, there was inconsistency in the risk of malaria between individuals with Rhesus blood group positive (Rh+) and negative (Rh-). The systematic review aimed to investigate the risk of malaria among participants with different Rh blood types. All observational studies that reported the occurrence of infection and investigation of the Rh blood group were searched in five databases (Scopus, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Ovid).

Genotyping of the rare Para-Bombay blood group in southern Thailand.

Introduction: The para-Bombay phenotype, or H-deficient secretor, results from different mutations of the FUT1, with or without the FUT2 mutation. Consequently, there is an absent or weak expression of the H antigen on red blood cells (RBCs). Routine ABO blood grouping for two siblings with blood group O showed discrepant results with their parental blood group AB.

High Expression of miR-483-5p Predicts Chemotherapy Resistance in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.

Background: Ovarian cancer is the most deadly cancer that requires novel diagnostics and therapeutics. MicroRNAs are viewed as essential gene regulatory elements involved in different pathobiological mechanisms of many cancers, including ovarian cancer.

Objective: This study examined the relationship between microRNA (miRNA) expression and response to platinum-based chemotherapy.

MicroRNA Expression Profiling of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Identifies New Markers of Tumor Subtype.

Background: Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) is often challenging to diagnose, even though histological examination. MicroRNA (miRNA or miRNA) is bound to the target messenger RNA (mRNA) due to which the mRNA molecules are silenced. The identification of miRNA expression- based EOC subtypes is considered a critical means of prognostication.

EGFL7 and RASSF1 promoter hypermethylation in epithelial ovarian cancer.

DNA methylation is one of the epigenetic mechanisms associated with gene expression and plays a key role as in activation and deactivation of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, respectively. This study employed DNA methylation array to identify methylated genes which are highly correlated with various phenotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in Thai patients and to quantify promoter CpG-island methylation of candidate genes. Tissues from patients with serous and non-serous EOC showed significantly higher promoter methylation of EGFL7 and RASSF1 compared to benign cases.
