Nutritional Intervention in Malnourished Hospitalized Patients with Heart Failure
Hospitalized patients with heart failure who are malnourished present a worse prognosis than those with an adequate nutritional status. We undertook this study to assess whether a nutritional intervention in malnourished hospitalized patients with heart failure benefits morbidity and mortality. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Association of G308A and G238A Polymorphisms of the TNF- α Gene with Risk of Coronary Heart Disease: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
It is widely acknowledged that coronary heart disease (CHD) has a genetic influence. One of the most promising candidate genes is tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- α). Although there have been several positive studies associating the TNF-α gene and CHD, the evidence is not entirely consistent. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of the TNF-α gene in CHD using combined evidence by generating a meta-analysis and a systematic review of all published data.

Protective Effect of Acetyl-L-Carnitine Against Doxorubicin-induced Cardiotoxicity in Wistar Albino Rats
Anthracyclines are one of the most preferred agents in practical pediatric oncology despite their dose-dependent cardiotoxic effects. The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) has protective effects on doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Hypercholesterolemia As a Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease: Current Controversial Therapeutic Management
Cholesterol is a precursor of steroid hormones and an essential component of the cell membrane; however, altered regulation of the synthesis, absorption and excretion of cholesterol predispose to cardiovascular diseases of atherosclerotic origin. Despite the recognition of historical events for 200 years starting with Chevreul naming “cholesterine”; later on, Lobstein coining the term atherosclerosis and Marchand introducing it, Anichkov identifying cholesterol in atheromatous plaque, and Brown and Goldstein discovering LDL receptor (r-LDL), as well as the emergence of different drugs su ch as fibrates, statins and c...

Serum Chemerin in Obese Children and Adolescents Before and After L-Carnitine Therapy: Relation to Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Other Features of Metabolic Syndrome
Chemerin plays an important role in metabolic syndrome (MetS) including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). L-carnitine (LC) may reduce plasma glucose, lipid profile, and improve liver function. The aim of the study was to assess serum chemerin in obese children with suspected NAFLD, the effect of LC on NAFLD grade, chemerin and metabolic profile. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Longitudinal Analysis of the Interaction Between Obesity and Pregnancy on Iron Homeostasis: Role of Hepcidin
When pregnancy occurs in obese women, two opposite mechanisms for iron homeostasis concur: increased need for available iron to support erythropoiesis and decreased iron mobilization from diets and stores due to obesity-related inflammation linked to overexpressed hepcidin. Few studies have examined the role of hepcidin on maternal iron homeostasis in the context of obese pregnancy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the combined effect of maternal obesity and pregnancy on hepcidin and maternal iron status while accounting for inflammation and iron supplementation.

Evaluation of Structural Factors Potentially Implicated in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A report of the MIGICCL
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in the pediatric population; ∼80% of the cases show some translocation. Translocations that result in ALL are due to chromosome breaks. However, the exact mechanisms that cause these breaks have not been well studied. A detailed search of the breakpoints associated with ALL reported in the NCBI database shows that some are co ncentrated in limited regions of the chromosome, whereas others are scattered throughout. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the structural factors involved in chromosomal breaks in ALL. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Effects of Disease Activity and Inflammatory Response on Hypercoagulability in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
The aim of the study was to (1) investigate the possible relationships of clinical manifestations and laboratory abnormalities with hypercoagulability in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients; (2) analyze the interaction effect between SLE disease activity and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) as well as between C3 and ESR on hypercoagulability.

Genetic Component of Type 2 Diabetes in a Mexican Population
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disease caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. In this regard, it has been demonstrated that Hispanics have a greater susceptibility to developing complex diseases like T2D, which has been attributed to their Amerindian component. Mexico has a wide population variety as a result of Amerindian (56 –69%), European (26–41.8%) and African (1.8–6%) ancestral components. The stratification of the population has made difficult the study of T2D in the Mexican population. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Short-term Changes in Gal 3 Circulating Levels After Acute Myocardial Infarction
Galectin 3 (Gal 3) is a β-galactoside-binding lectin known to play a part in inflammation, adverse remodeling and fibrosis. Gal 3 seems to be linked to atherogenesis and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), but less is known about the relationship between Gal 3 and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of the present study is to assess circulating levels of Gal 3 after AMI and to evaluate short-term changes of the biomarker within 5 days from the acute event.
