Unlabelled: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the main cause of mortality in diabetics. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in diabetics is much more often than in non-diabetics. MMP-9 activity could ease the formation of atherosclerosis, destabilization and plaque rupture as well as thrombocyte aggregation.
The Aim Of This Study Is To Examine: MMP-9 defining in serum in diabetics; the impact of diabetes mellitus on atherosclerosis and MMP-9 level; relation between serum values of MMP-9 and markers of glycoregulation and lipid status, respectively.
Results: The greatest concentration of both total and active MMP-9 serum has been noted in diabetics group with ACS. Both total and active MMP-9 values, in group with diabetes and ACS showed significantly important difference regarding the values in control group. Total and active MMP-9 showed statistically important correlation between the values of glycated hemoglobine A1c (HbA1c) and inverse correlations with values of subfraction HDL3.Active MMP-9 showed statistically important inverse correlation with value of HDL cholesterol.
In Conclusion: According to the results, it has been thought that active MMP-9 shows a certain degree of atherosclerotic changes on blood vessels better than total MMP-9. MMP-9, active one, could present an early marker of atherosclerosis, especially on coronary blood vessels, in diabetics with type 2.

Objective: Rosmarinic acid (RosA) is a natural polyphenol compound that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of inflammatory disease and a variety of malignant tumors. However, its specific mechanism for the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the mechanism of RosA in the treatment of LUAD by integrating bioinformatics, network pharmacology and in vivo experiments, and to explore the potential of the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine in treating LUAD.

This study aimed to investigate the potential role of Colquhounia Root Tablets against bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis(RA) and its molecular mechanism. The study used ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyze the major components of Colquhounia Root Tablets and predicted its candidate target gene set based on the major components. The key targets of RA bone destruction were obtained through GeneCards and the Database of Genetics and Medical Literature(OMIM), protein-protein interaction(PPI) network was constructed, and the key targets were identified by topological analysis.

Background Wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) is hindered by several physiological and biochemical abnormalities, including prolonged inflammation, an imbalance in extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and degradation, insufficient neovascularization, and reduced macrophage activity. In DFUs, excessive and uncontrolled matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade the ECM and impede wound healing. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) concentration plays a key role in inflammation and ECM degradation.

Immune-based combinations are the cornerstone of the first-line treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients, leading to outstanding outcomes. Nevertheless, primary resistance and disease progression is a critical clinical challenge. To properly address this issue, it is pivotal to understand the mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, that tumor eventually develop under treatment.
