Since its introduction more than 50 years ago, hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) has transformed from an inescapably fatal procedure to one where cure from malignant and other nonmalignant hematologic diseases is becoming increasingly common. Nevertheless, longevity is not entirely restored. New causes of mortality have emerged; of particular importance is that of increased cardiovascular disease (CVD), related to metabolic syndrome and its components. Controversy exists over whether the metabolic abnormalities induced are a direct effect of HSCT itself or a consequence of other therapies involved. Analysis of the mechanisms that promote the changes in metabolic components will give insight into future HSCT therapy as well as CVD pathogenesis and prevention.

Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) encompasses both explained and unexplained infant fatalities. When a comprehensive investigation yields inconclusive results, the case is classified as sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). On the other hand, the most frequent non-SIDS diagnoses may be attributed to specific causes of death including a heterogeneous spectrum of conditions and disorders (e.

Aim: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic syndrome characterised by absolute or relative insufficiency of insulin secretion. The alkaloids from Rhizoma coptidis have potential hypoglycemic effects. Epiberberine (EPI), a protoberberine alkaloid extracted from Rhizome coptidis, has been found to regulate lipid metabolism.

Objective: To examine the relationship between serum carotenoid levels and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome in a representative sample of US adults.
Methods: Data from the fasting subsample of the NHANES 2017-2018 were analyzed using a survey-weighted approach to ensure the findings are representative of the broader US adult population. Serum levels of α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein/zeaxanthin, and lycopene were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography.

Inflammation of adipose tissue is a contributing factor to many chronic diseases associated with obesity. We previously showed that micronutrients such as vitamin D (VD) limited this metabolic inflammation by decreasing inflammatory markers expression including miR-155 (microRNA-155) or miR-146a in different in vitro and in vivo models. These miRNAs could be incorporated into extracellular vesicles (EVs) in order to modulate the activity of target cells.

Introduction: Motoric cognitive risk (MCR) is a pre-dementia syndrome characterized by mobility and cognitive dysfunction. This study conducted a proteome-wide study of MCR and compared the proteomic signatures of MCR to that of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Methods: Participants were classified as MCR using a memory questionnaire and 4-meter walk.
