Toxoplasma gondii ROP17 promotes autophagy via the Bcl-2-Beclin 1 pathway.

The apicomplexan Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle et Manceaux, 1908) secretes a group of serine/threonine kinases from rhoptries, which play vital roles in boosting intracellular infection. Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry organelle protein 17 (ROP17) is one of these important kinase proteins. Nevertheless, its function remains unclear.

Clinical Value of Controlling Nutritional Status Score in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.

Objective: The aim of present study was to assess the predictive value of the admission prognostic nutrition index (PNI), controlling nutritional status (CONUT) associated with delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), and 3-month neurological outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

Methods: The clinical data from 252 patients with aSAH were retrospectively analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to assess the predictive ability of the PNI and CONUT score and identify the cutoff point.

Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio Is an Independent Predictor for Neurological Deterioration and 90-Day Mortality in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND Lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) is an independent predictive factor of clinical outcome of acute ischemic stroke and cancer, but the predictive effect of LMR in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is unknown. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the impact of peripheral LMR on the neurological deterioration (ND) during the initial week after spontaneous ICH onset, as well as 90-day mortality. MATERIAL AND METHODS The clinical data of 558 consecutive patients with ICH were retrospectively analyzed.
