Humanin analogue, S14G-humanin, has neuroprotective effects against oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation by reactivating Jak2/Stat3 signaling through the PI3K/AKT pathway.
Authors: Gao GS, Li Y, Zhai H, Bi JW, Zhang FS, Zhang XY, Fan SH Abstract Stroke, characterized by a disruption of blood supply to the brain, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although humanin, a 24-amino acid polypeptide, has been identified to have multiple neuroprotective functions, the level of humanin in plasma has been demonstrated to decrease with age, which likely limits the effects against stroke injury. A potent humanin analogue, S14G-humanin (HNG), generated by replacement of Ser14 with glycine, has been demonstrated to have 1,000-fold stronger biological activity than humanin. The p...

Anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects of sanguinarine following cerebral ischemia in rats.
Authors: Wang Q, Dai P, Bao H, Liang P, Wang W, Xing A, Sun J Abstract Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Protective agents that can diminish injuries caused by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) are important in alleviating the harmful outcomes of stroke. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective role of sanguinarine in cerebral I/R injury. A rat middle cerebral artery occlusion model was used to assess the clinical effect of sanguinarine, and inflammatory cytokines in the serum were detected by ELISA. Western blotting was performed to examine the change in levels of ...

Helicobacter pylori infection: old and new.
Authors: Diaconu S, Predescu A, Moldoveanu A, Pop CS, Fierbințeanu-Braticevici C Abstract Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium that grows in the digestive tract and may be present in more than half of the world's population. The clinical features of Helicobacter pylori range from asymptomatic gastritis to gastrointestinal malignancy. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a low-grade B-cell marginal zone lymphoma and Helicobacter pylori has been detected in more than 75% of the patients with MALT lymphoma. Many tests for the detection of Helicobacter pylori are available, including antibo...

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 (...

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...

Large-vessel vasculitis in graft-versus-host disease: a case report
ConclusionThe life-threatening vascular complications associated with large-vessel vasculitis include arterial aneurysms and dissections, and ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Thus, this rare immunological association needs to be recognized and treated in a timely manner to prevent the long-term complications.

Prevalence and economic burden of major comorbidities in multiple sclerosis
ConclusionsOur study provides evidence of the burden of comorbidities in MS. Comorbidity is common in MS and produce additive costs.Key messagesThe use of administrative data for tracking the MS comorbidity could help knowledge gaps.When additivity situation is involved, preventive policies could lead to monetary savings.
