In this work, the authors report a plasminogen (PLG) system genetic-population study in a sample of 378 healthy subjects, of both sexes and unrelated, all resident in the province of Cádiz in Southern Spain. In this study, the PLG types were determined by isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels (PAGIF), followed by staining with Coomassie blue. The genic frequencies obtained were the following: PLG A = 0.833 333 3; PLG B = 0.166 666 7.

Background: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) modulates the blood-brain barrier and cerebrovascular integrity, likely influencing the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), neurodegeneration, and cognitive decline.
Objective: This study aims to identify HDL protein cargo associated with brain amyloid deposition and brain volume in regions vulnerable to AD pathology in older adults.
Methods: HDL was separated from the plasma of 65 non-demented participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study using a fast protein liquid chromatography method.

Objective: To establish the reference intervals of plasma Plasminogen, Factor XII activity, and Factor XIII Antigen in healthy adults in Guangzhou.
Methods: A total of 168 young people (75 males and 93 females, aged 18-65 years) who underwent physical examination in Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University from 2020 to 2022 were recruited. Sysmex CS5100 automatic coagulation analyzer and matching reagents were used to detect Plasminogen.

Pathogenic Leptospira is the etiological cause of the zoonotic life-threatening infection called leptospirosis. The disease is spread worldwide with higher risk in tropical regions. Although leptospirosis represents a burden to the health of humans and animals, the pathogenic mechanisms of Leptospira infection are yet to be clarified.

ECM also provide structural support that aids in the invasion of HCC cells, thereby influencing the tumor microenvironment. Due to genetic variations and molecular heterogeneity, significant challenges exist in the treatment of HCC, particularly with immunotherapy, which frequently leads to immune tolerance and suboptimal immune responses.

Sparganosis is a parasitic zoonotic disease that poses a serious threat to public hygiene and human health. Annexin is a phospholipid-binding protein with calcium ion binding activity, serving various important functions, including interaction with the parasite and regulation of the host's immune response. In this study, two annexin (ANX) family genes, Spirometra erinaceieuropaei (S.
