Identifying potential therapeutic targets for ischemic stroke through immune infiltration analysis and construction of a programmed cell death ‑related ceRNA network
Exp Ther Med. 2022 Sep 21;24(5):680. doi: 10.3892/etm.2022.11616. eCollection 2022 Nov.ABSTRACTThe present study aimed to uncover the underlying mechanisms and potential intervention targets of ischemic stroke (IS). An immune cell infiltration analysis using CIBERSORT was performed on two stroke-related datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to generate a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were used to predict potential biological functions of the network. Differentially expressed genes in the ceRNA net...

Transfusion thresholds for guiding red blood cell transfusion
CONCLUSIONS: Transfusion at a restrictive haemoglobin concentration decreased the proportion of people exposed to RBC transfusion by 41% across a broad range of clinical contexts. Across all trials, no evidence suggests that a restrictive transfusion strategy impacted 30-day mortality, mortality at other time points, or morbidity (i.e. cardiac events, myocardial infarction, stroke, pneumonia, thromboembolism, infection) compared with a liberal transfusion strategy. Despite including 17 more randomised trials (and 8846 participants), data remain insufficient to inform the safety of transfusion policies in important and sele...

Transfusion strategy in hematological intensive care unit: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Background: Packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion is required in hematology patients treated with chemotherapy for acute leukemia, autologous (auto) or allogeneic (allo) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In certain situations like septic shock, hip surgery, coronary disease or gastrointestinal hemorrhage, a restrictive transfusion strategy is associated with a reduction of infection and death. A transfusion strategy using a single PRBC unit has been retrospectively investigated and showed a safe reduction of PRBC consumption and costs. We therefore designed a study to prospectively demonstrate that the tra...

miR-29b affects neurocyte apoptosis by targeting MCL-1 during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.
Authors: Huang Z, Lu L, Jiang T, Zhang S, Shen Y, Zheng Z, Zhao A, Gao R, Li R, Zhou S, Liu J Abstract The present study aimed to determine whether an miRNA (miR)-29b inhibitor protected against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in vitro and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. As a model for induced cerebral IR injury, N2a cells were exposed to an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) environment. Using this model, it was demonstrated that miR-29b was significantly upregulated compared with cells in a normal environment. The interactions between miR-29b and myeloid cell leukemia sequence (...

Cardiovascular disease after childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: a cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite attempts to reduce cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer treatment, CVD risks in ALL survivors treated more recently do not seem to have declined. PMID: 30852834 [PubMed - in process]

Medium and long-term risks of specific cardiovascular diseases in survivors of 20 adult cancers: a population-based cohort study using multiple linked UK electronic health records databases
In this study, we used large-scale electronic health records data from multiple linked UK databases to address these evidence gaps.MethodsFor this population-based cohort study, we used linked primary care, hospital, and cancer registry data from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink to identify cohorts of survivors of the 20 most common cancers who were 18 years or older and alive 12 months after diagnosis and controls without history of cancer, matched for age, sex, and general practice. We compared risks for a range of cardiovascular disease outcomes using crude and adjusted Cox models. We fitted interactions to in...
