Association between Mediterranean diet and metabolic syndrome: analysis of NHANES 2007-2020.

Changing poor dietary habits is effective for treating metabolic syndrome (MetS). Despite the global reputation of the Mediterranean diet (MD) for health, research on its link to MetS is limited, especially in non-Mediterranean regions. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the MD and MetS.

CircRNA FGFR3 induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition of ovarian cancer by regulating miR-29a-3p/E2F1 axis.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression after transcription. However, the specific function of circRNAs in ovarian cancer remains undetermined. Previous studies have demonstrated abnormal expression of circFGFR3 in several cancers.

Poor prognostic role of the pretreatment platelet counts in colorectal cancer: A meta-analysis.

Background: Recently, a wide variety of studies have suggested that elevated platelet counts are associated with survival in patients with colorectal cancer. On one hand several studies suggest a negative connection in colorectal cancer patients with pre-operative thrombocytosis, on the other hand other studies contradicts this. However, it remains unknown whether elevated platelet counts are associated with survival in colorectal cancer patients.

Association between C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of the MTHFR gene and risk of male infertility: a meta-analysis.

Published studies on the association between the C677T and A1298C polymorphisms of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and male infertility risk are controversial. To obtain a more precise evaluation, we performed a meta-analysis based on published case-control studies. We conducted an electronic search of PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the Web of Science, and the China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database for papers on MTHFR gene C677T and A1298C polymorphisms and male infertility risk.
