Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation technology for adults: an evidence mapping based on systematic reviews
ConclusionsThere is limited available evidence for ECMO that large sample, multi-center, and multinational RCTs are needed. Most clinical topics are reported as beneficial or probably beneficial of SRs for ECMO. Evidence mapping is a valuable and reliable methodology to identify and present the existing evidence about therapeutic interventions. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Unveilling genetic profiles and correlations of biofilm-associated genes, quorum sensing, and antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from a Malaysian Teaching Hospital
ConclusionsThe high prevalence of biofilm and slime production among MSSA and MRSA isolates correlates well with the detection of a high prevalence of biofilm-associated genes andagr quorum sensing system. A significant association ofagrI gene was found with cefoxitin, oxacillin, and fluoroquinolone resistance. A more focused approach targeting biofilm-associated and quorum sensing genes is important in developing new surveillance and treatment strategies againstS. aureus biofilm infection.

Carrageenan maintains the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells by increasing macromolecular crowding in vitro
ConclusionsThe in vitro study showed that VSMCs can maintain the contractile phenotype by sensing changes in the crowding of the culture environment, which can be maintained by adding CR.Graphical Abstract (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Comparison between high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) alternated with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and HFNO and NIV alone in patients with COVID-19: a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionsIn patients with COVID-19, NIV alternating with HFNO was associated with a higher rate of IMV independent of the presence of comorbidities, chest CT score and SpO2/FiO2.Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05579080. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Endoplasmic reticulum stress-related genes as prognostic and immunogenic biomarkers in prostate cancer
ConclusionWe identified ERLIN2 and CDK5RAP3 as ERS-related genes with important prognostic and immunologic values, and classified patients between high- and low-risk subgroups, which provided new prognostic markers, immunotherapeutic targets, and basis for prognostic assessments.

Analyses of lncRNA and mRNA profiles in recurrent atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation
ConclusionsThe recurrence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation may be associated with immune responses and fibrosis, with the extracellular matrix playing a crucial role. TMEM51-AS1-201 has been identified as a potential key target for AF recurrence after catheter ablation. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Jian Gan powder ameliorates immunological liver injury in mice by modulating the gut microbiota and metabolic profiles
ConclusionsJGP intervention improves ILI by restoring gut microbiota and modifying its metabolic profiles. These results provide a novel insight into the mechanism of JGP in treating ILI and the scientific basis to support its clinical application. (Source: European Journal of Medical Research)

Specific mortality in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a retrospective analysis based on the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database
ConclusionThe most significant predictor of DLBCL-specific mortality is the age of the patient, followed by the Ann Arbor stage and the administration of chemotherapy. This predictive model has the potential to facilitate the identification of high-risk DLBCL patients by clinicians, ultimately leading to improved prognosis.

Intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine during the surgery to prevent postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction undergoing non-cardiac surgery: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionCompared with other interventions, intravenous dexmedetomidine infusion during non-cardiac and non-neurosurgical procedures may significantly reduce the risk of postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction. The results of subgroup analysis reveal a consistent preventive effect on postoperative delirium in both general and non-general anaesthesia groups. Meanwhile, continuous infusion during general anaesthesia was more effective in reducing the risk of cognitive dysfunction. Despite such findings, hypotension and bradycardia were more frequent in patients who received dexmedetomidine during surgery. (Source: ...

HE4-based nomogram for predicting overall survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: construction and validation
In this study, prognostic nomograms were generated based on the results of the cox regression analysis. We identified the HE4 protein level increased in IPF patients, but not the HE4 gene expression. The increased expression of HE4 correlated positively with a poor prognosis for patients with IPF. The HR and 95% CI were 2.62 (1.61 –4.24) (p <  0.001) in the training set. We constructed a model based on the risk-score = 0.16222182 * HE4 + 0/0.37580659/1.05003609 (for GAP index 0–3/4–5/6–8) + (− 1.1183375). In both training and validation sets, high-risk patients had poor prognoses (HR: 3.49, 95...

Multi-omics and immunogenomics analysis revealed PFKFB3 as a targetable hallmark and mediates sunitinib resistance in papillary renal cell carcinoma: in silico study with laboratory verification
AbstractGlycolysis-related metabolic reprogramming is a central hallmark of human cancers, especially in renal cell carcinoma. However, the regulatory function of glycolytic signature in papillary RCC has not been well elucidated. In the present study, the glycolysis-immune predictive signature was constructed and validated  using WGCNA, glycolysis-immune clustering analysis. PPI network of DEGs was constructed and visualized. Functional enrichments and patients’ overall survival were analyzed. QRT-PCR experiments were performed to detect hub genes’ expression and distribution, siRNA technology was used to silenc e t...

Dyslipidemia and associated factors among adult cardiac patients: a hospital-based comparative cross-sectional study
ConclusionDyslipidemia was high among the study participants. Overweight, obesity, central adiposity, and high blood pressure were significantly associated with dyslipidemia in cardiac patients. This alarms the need for lipid profile assessment for patients periodically, with treatment follow-up to monitor any rising patterns and cardiovascular-related risks.
