Background: Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has emerged as a potential biomarker for schizophrenia (SCZ). However, GDNF levels remain unclear in affected individuals compared to healthy controls. Therefore, we aimed to calculate a pooled estimate of GDNF levels in patients with SCZ in comparison with healthy controls.

Background: The identification of circulating potential biomarkers may help earlier diagnosis of breast cancer, which is critical for effective treatment and better disease outcomes. We aimed to study the role of circ-FAF1 as a diagnostic biomarker in female breast cancer using peripheral blood samples of these patients, and to investigate the relation between circ-FAF1 and different clinicopathological features of the included patients.

Methods And Results: This case-control study enrolled 60 female breast cancer patients and 60 age-matched healthy control subjects.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder, and critically ill patients with T2DM in intensive care unit (ICU) have an increased risk of mortality. In this study, we investigated the relationship between nine inflammatory indicators and prognosis in critically ill patients with T2DM to provide a clinical reference for assessing the prognosis of patients admitted to the ICU. Critically ill patients with T2DM were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database and divided into training and testing sets (7:3 ratio).

Formamidopyrimidine DNA glycosylase (Fpg) and flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) are essential to sustaining genomic stability and integrity, while the abnormal activities of Fpg and FEN1 may lead to various diseases and cancers. The development of simple methods for simultaneously monitoring Fpg and FEN1 is highly desirable. Herein, we construct a multiple cyclic ligation-promoted exponential recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) platform for sensitive and simultaneous monitoring of Fpg and FEN1 in cells and clinical tissues.
