Background: Recent reports have shown that miR-145 concentration correlates with infarct size. In this paper, we attempt to predict heart failure and cardiovascular death after acute myocardial infarction using circulating miR-145 concentration.
Methods: We assessed 246 patients with first ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention. We measured circulating miR-145, N-terminal fragment of the precursor B-type natriuretic peptide, myocardial-band creatine kinase, and cardiac troponin-I concentrations on day 5 after primary percutaneous coronary intervention and assessed their correlations with long-term clinical outcome.
Results: During the one-year follow-up period, 72 patients experienced primary composite cardiac events (cardiac death or hospitalization for worsening heart failure). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis indicated that circulating miR-145 (hazard ratio 7.174, 95% confidence interval 4.208-12.229); p < 0.0001) was a significant independent predictor of cardiac events after adjustment for multiple confounders.
Conclusion: Circulating miR-145 may be a novel biomarker for predicting long-term outcome after acute myocardial infarction.

The development of different phenotypes of coronary artery (CA) lesions is regulated via many various factors, such as pro-inflammatory agents, zinc-dependent endopeptidases, growth factors and circulating microRNAs (miRs). To evaluate the expression levels of miR-34a, miR-145 and miR-222, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, -9, -13 and -14) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with different phenotypes of coronary artery disease (CAD): ischemia/angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA/ANOCA) and obstructive CAD (oCAD) compared with a control group. This cross-sectional observational study included 157 subjects with a verified CAD diagnosis (51 patients with INOCA, 76 patients with oCAD and 30 healthy volunteers).

Background: In recent years, miRNAs found in biological fluids have gained interest as biomarkers of numerous conditions, including migraine. This study aimed to identify differences in the levels of circulating miRNAs in the serum of migraineurs as compared to healthy controls, as well as between patients with different types of migraine and during the ictal and nonictal phases of the condition.
Methods: The screening phase of the study included serum from 13 migraine patients and 13 sex and age matched controls.

Stress-induced immunosuppression (SIIS) is one of the most common problems in intensive poultry production, which can cause immunized chickens to still develop diseases and bring huge losses to production. Recently, adipose tissue, as an immunomodulatory organ, has become a hot topic of attention. However, the function and mechanism of adipose tissue involved in SIIS and its influence on the immune response are still unclear.

Background: Coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19) frequently causes coagulation disturbances. Data remains limited on the effects of microRNAs (miRNAs) on coagulation during COVID-19 infection. We aimed to analyze the comprehensive miRNA profile as well as coagulation markers and blood count in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
