Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and tau phosphorylation-induced neurofibrillary tangles. This review comprehensively summarizes AD pathogenesis and related factors, drawing on a wealth of authoritative reports and research findings. Specifically, we delve into the intricate mechanisms underlying AD pathology, including Aβ deposition, tau protein phosphorylation, cholinergic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, ferroptosis, imbalance in the gut microbiota, and microRNA dysregulation.

Simultaneous CNV-seq and WES: An effective strategy for molecular diagnosis of unexplained fetal structural anomalies.

Heliyon

October 2024

Center of Prenatal Diagnosis, The Affiliated Chenzhou Hospital, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, Chenzhou, 423000, China.

Background: Fetal structural anomalies are detected by ultrasound in approximately 3 % of pregnancies. Numerous genetic diagnostic strategies have been widely applied to identify the genetic causes of prenatal abnormalities. We aimed to assess the value of simultaneous copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and whole exome sequencing (WES) in diagnosing fetuses with structural anomalies.

Pre-existing Proton Pump Inhibitor Treatment and Short-Term Prognosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients.

Front Cardiovasc Med

July 2022

Department of Emergency, The Chenzhou Affiliated Hospital, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, Chenzhou, China.

Introduction: Evidence suspects proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use is a risk factor of poor prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We aimed to investigate the association between pre-existing PPI use before emergency department (ED) visit and short-term prognosis of AMI patients.

Materials And Methods: AMI patients admitted to ED were included and categorized as cohorts with or without pre-existing PPI use.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on how the miR-17-92 cluster changes in patients with agranulocytosis caused by antithyroid drugs (ATD), analyzing its expression in serum and granulocytes.
  • The researchers used real-time PCR to measure miR-17-92 levels in 20 patients with agranulocytosis and 16 control patients, noting that six patients experienced changes in neutrophil counts.
  • Results indicated that miR-17-92 levels were lower in both serum and granulocytes from agranulocytosis patients compared to controls and recovered patients, with no significant correlations found related to bone marrow type or thyroid hormone levels.
