Objective: To determine the level of neurohormonal operative stress response-reactive protein (CRP) and rest energy expenditure (REE) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and open cholecystectomy (OC).
Methods: Twenty-six consecutive patients with noncomplicated gallstones were randomized for LC (n = 14) and OC (n = 12). Plasma concentrations of somatotropin, insulin, cortisol and CRP were measured. The levels of REE were also measured.
Results: On the third postoperative day, the insulin levels were lower than those before operation (P < 0.05). On the first postoperative day, the levels of somatotropin and cortisol were higher in OC than in LC. After operation, the parameters of somatotropin, CRP and cortisol increased compared to the preoperative period in all patients (P < 0.05). On the all-postoperative day, the CRP levels were higher in OC than in LC (P < 0.05). After operation, the REE level increased in OC and LC (P < 0.05). On the all-postoperative day, the REE levels were higher in OC than in LC (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: LC results in less prominent stress response and smaller metabolic interference compared to open surgery. These benefit the restoration of stress hormones, nitrogen balance, and energy metabolism. However, LC can also induce acidemia and pulmonary hypoperfusion because of pneumoperitoneum during surgery.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and transfer RNA-derived stress-induced RNAs (tiRNAs) have emerged as crucial players in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in various cellular processes, including immunity and host defense against infections. In recent years, increasing evidence has highlighted their complex role in influencing the host response during viral and bacterial infections. miRNAs have been shown to play multiple roles in host-pathogen interaction like TLR activation and altered disease virulence during bacterial infections.

Rice salt tolerance is highly anticipated to meet global demand in response to decreasing farmland and soil salinization. Therefore, dissecting the genetic loci controlling salt tolerance in rice for improving productivity is of utmost importance. Here, we evaluated six salt-tolerance-related traits of a biparental mapping population comprising 280 F2 rice individuals (Oryza sativa L.

Maintaining a stable basal level of salicylic acid (SA) is crucial for plant growth, development, and stress response, though basal levels of SA vary significantly among plant species. However, the molecular mechanisms by which basal SA regulates plant growth and stress response remain to be elucidated. In this study, we performed a genetic screen to identify suppressors of the root growth defect in Osaim1, a rice mutant deficient in basal SA biosynthesis.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and fronto-temporal dementia (FTD) are part of a spectrum of diseases that share several causative genes, resulting in a combinatory of motor and cognitive symptoms and abnormal protein aggregation. Multiple unbiased studies have revealed that proteostasis impairment at the level of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a transversal pathogenic feature of ALS/FTD. The transcription factor XBP1s is a master regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR), the main adaptive pathway to cope with ER stress.

Objective: Preterm birth is a significant public health concern that negatively affects parents' mental health. Posttraumatic growth (PTG) is a positive response to trauma that can effectively help parents cope with the stress of preterm birth. However, few studies have investigated PTG among parents with preterm infants.
