Purpose: Inflammatory activation of immune cells plays a pivotal role in the development of coronary artery diseases (CAD). This study aims to investigate the immune responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in CAD and to identify novel signature genes and biomarkers using machine learning algorithms.

Methods: The GSE113079 dataset was analyzed and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between CAD and normal samples. The intersection of DEGs with inflammation-related genes was used to identify the differentially expressed inflammation-related genes (DIRGs). Then, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted for each DIRG, and those with an area under the curve (AUC) greater than 0.9 were selected for subsequent analysis. Furthermore, machine learning algorithms were employed to identify biomarkers. A nomogram was developed based on these biomarkers. The CIBERSORT algorithm and Wilcoxon test method were used to analyze the differences in immune cells between the CAD and normal samples. The identified biomarkers were validated in PBMCs from patients with CAD and in atherosclerotic aortas from ApoE mice.

Results: A total of 574 DEGs were identified between CAD and normal samples. From this intersection, 29 DIRGs were identified, of which 14 DIRGs (, , , , , , , , , , , , , and ) exhibited high diagnostic efficacy. Four biomarkers (, , , and ) were identified using Support Vector Machine (SVM). Ten types of immune cells, including CD8 T cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), and resting NK cells, showed significant differences between the CAD and normal groups. Furthermore, increased levels of , , , and were validated in PBMCs isolated from CAD patients. In addition, , , and were upregulated in the mouse atherosclerotic aorta.

Conclusion: Our findings revealed novel inflammatory gene signatures of CAD that could be potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis of CAD.

Background: Insulin resistance is a critical first step in the development of many chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease (CAD). Early recognition of changes in insulin sensitivity and subsequent glycolipid dysregulation is paramount in reversing the progression of these diseases. Since the prevalence of insulin resistance is relatively high, there is a demand for a simple, easy, and inexpensive method for its detection.

This study compared the biomechanical behavior of three widely used dental materials-zirconia, lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD), and 3D-printed composite (VarseoSmile CrownPlus)- for maxillary anterior bridge restorations. Finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to evaluate the mechanical response of these materials under normal occlusal forces, replicating real clinical conditions.

Background And Objective: In the traditional diagnostic process for multiple myeloma cancer, a pathologist screens prepared blood samples using a microscope to detect, classify, and count plasma cells. This manual approach is time-consuming, exhausting, and prone to human errors. Consequently, medical experts and researchers are highly interested in any tool that partially or entirely automates this process.

Background: The systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) serves as a comprehensive indication of systemic inflammation. However, the relationship between SII and the severity of coronary artery lesions in participants with coronary artery disease (CAD) in different glucose metabolic states has not been fully elucidated.

Methods: A total of 2727 patients with CAD were enrolled between January 2018 and April 2022.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the ultrasonic jaw tracking system by comparing with the conventional electronic system in recording condylar movements.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-six subjects with normal occlusion participated in the study. The CADIAX 4 and Jaw Motion Analyzer (JMA) systems were used to record condylar movement trajectories during mandibular border movements (protrusive/retrusive, lateral, and wide mouth opening), with each movement repeated three times.
