Cortical lipid metabolic pathway alteration of early Alzheimer ’s disease and candidate drugs screen
ConclusionsAD cortical lipid metabolism disorder was associated with the dysregulation of the PPAR signaling pathway, glycerophospholipid metabolism, adipocytokine signaling pathway, fatty acid biosynthesis, fatty acid degradation, ferroptosis, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, and fatty acid elongation. Candidate drugs including bisphenol A, benzo(a)pyrene, ethinyl estradiol, and active compounds including adenosine phosphate, oxidized Photinus luciferin, and BMS-488043 have potential therapeutic effects on cortical lipid metabolism disorder of early AD.

2- to 20-year myelomeningocele follow-up outcomes from a referral center in Southern Iran: the Shiraz experience
ConclusionsThis study is the first to characterize the long-term outcomes of MMC patients in Iran. This study illustrates that there is a great need for improved access to and coordination of care in antenatal, perioperative, and long-term stages to improve morbidity and mortality.

Diagnostic value of serum COMP and ADAMTS7 for intervertebral disc degeneration
ConclusionsIncreases in circulating COMP and ADAMTS7 correlate with IVDD progression and may play regulatory roles. Assays for sCOMP and/or sADAMTS7 levels can discriminate between healthy subjects and IVDD patients, warranting further clinical assessment. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

A genetic survey of patients with familial idiopathic intracranial hypertension residing in a Middle Eastern village: genetic association study
ConclusionsWe discovered new loci possibly associated with IIH by employing a GWAS technique to estimate the associations with haplotypes instead of specific SNPs. This method can in all probability be used in cases where there is a limited amount of samples but strong familial connections. Several loci were identified that might be strong candidates for follow-up studies in other well-phenotypes cohorts. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Will coronal alignment postoperatively be deteriorating in adult spinal deformity after long-fusion surgery?
ConclusionsThe coronal alignments in ASD patients underwent long-fusion surgeries may deteriorate during follow-up, for which the risk factors include the consistency CA, age  ≥ 60, fixed-vertebra ≥ 8, CBD-correction ≥ 30 mm and pelvic fixation. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Phthalate exposure and blood pressure in U.S. children aged 8 –17 years (NHANES 2013–2018)
ConclusionPhthalate metabolites were associated with modest reductions in systolic/diastolic BP, and MAP in children, while appeared not protective factors for hypertension. Given the inconsistent results among existing studies, our findings should be confirmed by other cohort studies. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Anesthesia decision analysis using a cloud-based big data platform
AbstractBig data technologies have proliferated since the dawn of the cloud-computing era. Traditional data storage, extraction, transformation, and analysis technologies have thus become unsuitable for the large volume, diversity, high processing speed, and low value density of big data in medical strategies, which require the development of novel big data application technologies. In this regard, we investigated the most recent big data platform breakthroughs in anesthesiology and designed an anesthesia decision model based on a cloud system for storing and analyzing massive amounts of data from anesthetic records. The p...

Exploring the role of genetic variations in NAFLD: implications for disease pathogenesis and precision medicine approaches
AbstractNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the leading causes of chronic liver diseases, affecting more than one-quarter of people worldwide. Hepatic steatosis can progress to more severe forms of NAFLD, including NASH and cirrhosis. It also may develop secondary diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Genetic and environmental factors regulate NAFLD incidence and progression, making it a complex disease. The contribution of various environmental risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, diet, and sedentary lifestyle, to the exacerbation of liver injury is highly underst...

Systematic review of the molecular basis of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome in Brazil: the current scenario
ConclusionsDespite significant molecular heterogeneity among mutations in HBOC patients from Brazil, three mutations deserve to be highlighted, c.5266dupC, c.156_157insAlu and c.1010G  >  A in theBRCA1,BRCA2 andTP53 genes, respectively. With more than 200 records, these three mutations play a vital role in the pathology of breast and ovarian cancer in Brazil. The data collected shed light on the subject, but there is still not enough data from certain subpopulations. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Abnormal levels of expression of microRNAs in peripheral blood of patients with traumatic brain injury are induced by microglial activation and correlated with severity of injury
ConclusionAbnormally high levels of expression of hsa-miR-122-5p and hsa-miR-193b-3p in the peripheral blood of patients with TBI were due to the activation of microglia and correlated with the severity of TBI. This discovery may help to increase understanding of the molecular pathology of TBI and guide the development of new strategies for TBI therapy based on microglial function.
