Background and objective: Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) appears to be an active and important biomarker for decreasing the risk of cardiovascular issues among individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Herein, a systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to probe whether plasma/serum ICAM-1levels are different in adults with OSA compared to adults with no OSA, as well as adults with severe OSA compared to adults with mild/moderate OSA. Materials and methods: A thorough and systematic literature search was performed in four databases (PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library) until 17 July 2022, without any age and sample size restrictions to retrieve the relevant articles. The standardized mean difference (SMD) along with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of plasma/serum of ICAM-1 levels was reported. Analyses, including sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, trial sequential analysis, meta-regression, and a funnel plot analysis, were performed in the pooled analysis. Results: A total of 414 records were identified in the databases, and 17 articles including 22 studies were entered into the meta-analysis. The pooled SMD of serum/plasma ICAM-1 levels in adults with OSA compared to controls was 2.00 (95%CI: 1.41, 2.59; p < 0.00001). The pooled SMD of serum/plasma ICAM-1 levels in adults with severe compared to mild/moderate OSA was 3.62 (95%CI: 1.74, 5.51; p = 0.0002). Higher serum/plasma ICAM-1 levels were associated with a higher mean age of controls, higher scores for the apnea-hypopnea index, and with a lower mean age of adults with OSA and with smaller sample sizes. Conclusions: Th results of the present meta-analysis showed that serum/plasma ICAM-1 levels in adults with OSA was higher than serum/plasma ICAM-1 levels in controls. Similarly, serum/plasma ICAM-1 levels in adults with severe OSA were higher compared to serum/plasma ICAM-1 levels of adults with mild or moderate OSA. Therefore, ICAM-1 may be used as an additional diagnostic and therapeutic biomarker in adults with OSA.

Brain microvascular endothelial cells are connected by tight junction (TJ) proteins and interacted by adhesion molecules, which participate in the selective permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The disruption of BBB is associated with the progression of cerebral diseases. Pterostilbene is a natural compound found in blueberries and grapes with a wide range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-diabetic effects.

Observational studies have shown that cadmium exposure increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Atherosclerotic plaque can cause vascular obstruction, which is important for the death from cardiovascular disease. Cell damage and monocyte adhesion are two early events in atherosclerotic plaque formation that can be induced by cadmium exposure, but the mechanism remains to be determined.

Introduction: Children with wheeze and asthma present with airway epithelial vulnerabilities, such as impaired responses to viral infection. It is postulated that the in utero environment may contribute to the development of airway epithelial vulnerabilities. The aims of the study were to establish whether the receptors for rhinovirus (RV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are expressed in the amniotic membrane and whether the pattern of expression is similar to newborn nasal epithelium.

As multiple front-line immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based combinations are approved for metastatic renal cell carcinoma, biomarkers predicting for ICI responses are needed past clinical prognostication scores and transcriptome gene expression profiling. Circulating markers represent opportunities to assess baseline and dynamic changes in immune cell frequency and cytokine levels while on treatment. We conducted an exploratory prospective correlative study of 33 patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma undergoing treatment with ICIs and correlated changes in circulating immune cell subsets and cytokines with clinical responses to treatment.
