Effects of Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol on Coronary Artery Calcification Progression According to High-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels
Previous studies reported that many patients are at high risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) despite achieving recommended low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. Therefore, we investigated whether the association between LDL-C and the risk for incident CVD differed according to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels using coronary artery calcium score (CACS) progression as a surrogate marker for predicting CVD.

Buccal Cell Micronucleus Frequency Is Significantly Elevated in Patients with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is part of a group of at least nine dominantly inherited disorders characterized by progressive degeneration of specific neuronal populations and a shared mutational mechanism involving the expansion of a CAG repeat tract in coding regions of novel genes. Efforts have been made to identify biomarkers of disease progression, which would allow timely preventive therapeutic interventions. In the present study was assessed the influence of several genome instability biomarkers on SCA2 clinical severity. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

The Polymorphic Variants rs3088442 and rs2292334 in the Organic Cation Transporter 3 (OCT3) Gene and Susceptibility Against Type 2 Diabetes: Role of their Interaction
In this study, we investigated whether two common variants (rs3088442G>A and rs2292334G>A) in the organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3) gene, a high-capacity transporter widely expressed in various tissues, affect susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D) in patients newly diagnosed with T2D.

Catechol-O-methyltransferase Gene Polymorphism (Val158Met) and Development of Pre-eclampsia
Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is a key enzyme in degradation pathways of estrogens and catecholamines. The present meta-analysis was done to elucidate the association of COMT Val158Met polymorphism with pre-eclampsia among pregnant women. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Mesenchymal Stem Cell-based Therapy as a New Horizon for Kidney Injuries
Today, the prevalence of kidney diseases is increasing around the world, but there has still been no effective medical treatment. The therapeutic choices are confined to supportive cares and preventive strategies. Currently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-based cell therapy was proposed for the treatment of kidney injuries. However, after the transplantation of MSCs, they are exposed to masses of cytotoxic factors involving an inflammatory cytokine storm, a nutritionally-poor hypoxic environment and oxidative stresses that finally lead to minimize the efficacy of MSCs based cell therapy.

Prognostic Value of Different Allelic Polymorphism of Aldosterone Synthase Receptor in a Congestive Heart Failure European Continental Ancestry Population
Aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) is as an 9-exon gene on chromosome 8q22 and exists as a common single nucleotide polymorphism C –T transition for position −344. The aim of this study was to assess the −344T/C polymorphism of the aldosterone synthase promoter in a European continental ancestry congestive heart failure (CHF) population.

Importance of CD117 in the Assignation of a Myeloid Lineage in Acute Leukemias
The correct classification of acute leukemias (AL) is an essential part in the evaluation of any patient with this disease. Historically, CD117 has been an important asset in the diagnosis of patients with mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL). In an attempt to simplify the diagnosis of MPAL with fewer and more lineage specific markers, the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed in 2008 a new criteria for the diagnosis of this type of AL, which excluded CD117 from the myeloid markers that are utilized to diagnose MPAL.
