Prognostic Value of microRNA-224 in Various Cancers: A Meta-analysis
During previous studies, microRNA-224 (miR-224) was frequently investigated and discovered to be of vital significance to prognosis of patients with various cancers. However, its accurate prognostic value has not been estimated worldwide. Herein, we performed meta-analysis to assess its potential predictive value in a variety of human tumors.

Comparative Assessment of Serum Adipokines Zinc- α2-glycoprotein and Adipose Triglyceride Lipase, and Cardiovascular Risk Factors Between Normal Weight and Obese Patients with Hemodialysis
Little is known about the potential relationship of obesity, adipose tissue and novel adipokines with cardiometabolic risk factors in end-stage renal disease. Zinc- α2-glycoprotein (ZAG) and adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) are novel adipokines with proposed desirable effects on inflammation, and lipid and glucose metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate serum concentrations of ZAG and ATGL, and the relationship of these adipokines with cardiovas cular risk factors in normal weight (NW) and obese (OB) patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Kidney Injury Molecule-1 Level is Associated with the Severity of Renal Interstitial Injury and Prognosis in Adult Henoch –Schönlein Purpura Nephritis
Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) was identified the most highly upregulated protein in chronic kidney diseases and prolonged KIM-1 expression may be maladaptive. The present study was aimed to investigate urinary, renal and plasma KIM-1 levels and to analyze association between KIM-1 levels with clinical and pathological indexes in adult Henoch-Sch önlein purpura (HSP) patients.

Understanding the Biology of Thermogenic Fat: Is Browning A New Approach to the Treatment of Obesity?
Obesity is characterized by an excess of white adipose tissue (WAT). Recent evidence has demonstrated that WAT can change its phenotype to a brown-like adipose tissue known as beige/brite adipose tissue. This transition is characterized by an increase in thermogenic capacity mediated by uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). This browning process is a potential new target for treating obesity. The aim of this review is to integrate the different mechanisms by which beige/brite adipocytes are formed and to describe the physiological, pharmacological and nutritional inducers that can promote browning.

Total Serum Cholesterol Increases Risk for Development and Progression of Nonproliferative Retinopathy in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Without Therapeutic Intervention: Prospective, Observational Study
The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between serum lipids and risk of development and progression of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) in T1DM with normal renal function and with no therapeutic intervention that might influence on retinopathy and serum lipids status.

Hemin Reduces HMGB1 Release by UVB in an AMPK/HO-1-dependent Pathway in Human Keratinocytes HaCaT Cells
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) plays an important role as a pro-inflammatory cytokine that regulates inflammation in various diseases. We hypothesized that hemin might reduce HMGB1 release through the induction of HO-1 in UVB-induced HaCaTs. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Gender-Specific Association of Desacylated Ghrelin with Subclinical Atherosclerosis in the Metabolic Syndrome
Ghrelin, a gastric hormone with pleiotropic effects modulates vascular function and may influence atherosclerosis. Plasma ghrelin is reduced in the metabolic syndrome (MS), which is also characterized by early atherosclerosis. Ghrelin circulates in acylated (AG) and desacylated (DAG) forms. Their relative impact and that of gender on subclinical atherosclerosis in MS is unknown. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)
