Abstract Introduction Neuronal‐derived exosomal Aβ42, T‐tau, and P‐T181‐tau have been demonstrated to be biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, no study has assessed the association between exosomes CSF. Methods This was a multicenter with two‐stage design. The subjects included 28 AD patients, 25 aMCI 29 controls in discovery stage; results which were confirmed validation stage (73 AD, 71 aMCI, 72 controls). Results concentrations group higher than those control groups (all P <...

Exosomes are an emerging candidate for biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study investigated whether exosomal synaptic proteins can predict AD at the asymptomatic stage.We conducted a two-stage-sectional (discovery stage: AD, 28; amnestic mild cognitive impairment [aMCI], 25; controls, 29; validation 73; aMCI, 71; 72), including preclinical (160) and controls (160), confirmation in familial (mutation carriers: 59; non-mutation 62).The concentrations growth associated protein 43...

Timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) cannot be offered to all patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Pharmaco-invasive (PhI) strategy has been proposed as a valuable alternative for eligible STEMI. We conducted randomized study compare the efficacy and safety of PhI half-dose fibrinolytic regimen versus PPCI in STEMI.The EARLY-MYO trial (Early Routine Catheterization After Alteplase Fibrinolysis Versus Primary PCI Acute ST-Segment-Elevation...

Exosomes, a type of extracellular vesicle, have been shown to be involved in many disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Exosomes may contribute the spread misfolded proteins such as amyloid-β (Aβ) and α-synuclein. However, specific diffusion process exosomes their final destination brain are still unclear. In present study, we isolated from peripheral plasma injected them into hippocampus an AD mouse model, investigated exosome diffusion. We found that can dentate gyrus (DG) other...

Abstract Introduction The PSENs/APP mutation distribution in Chinese patients with familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) remains unclear. We aimed to analyze the genetic features of FAD pedigrees and without mutations. Methods In total, 1330 (AD) or mild cognitive impairment 404 were enrolled from Familial Disease Network. mutations APOE frequencies determined. Results 13.12% carried missense mutations, 3.71% synonymous/untranslated region variants, 83.17% did not carry Eleven first identified....

Abstract Background Long intergenic non-coding RNA 00963 (LINC00963) is an oncogenic lncRNA in human cancers. However, little known on how it impacts the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Methods Biological effects proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were examined by CCK-8, colony formation, EdU incorporation, transwell, immunofluorescence assays, respectively. Macrophage polarization was evaluated flow cytometry. Ubiquitination Zeb1...

Abstract Introduction The genetic risk effects of apolipoprotein E ( APOE ) on familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) with or without gene mutations, sporadic AD (SAD), and normal controls (NC) remain unclear in the Chinese population. Methods In total, 15 119 subjects, including 311 FAD patients PSEN1, PSEN2, APP, TREM2 , SORL1 pathogenic mutations (FAD [unknown]); 126 PSENs / APP [ PSENs/APP ]); 7234 SAD patients; 7448 NC were enrolled. ε4 analyzed across groups. Results prevalence genotype...

Abstract Background Studies have revealed the association between exosomes and cardiovascular diseases. However, typical changes of plasma miRNAs in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are still controversial, use exosomal to diagnose predict prognosis AF has not been described. Hypothesis We hypothesized that there were differences normal sinus rhythm (SR) patients, which might be used as novel biomarkers reflect progression AF. Methods isolated from target genes differential via...

Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), one of the most serious complications mechanical ventilation (MV), can impact patients' clinical prognoses. Compared to control ventilation, preserving spontaneous breathing improve many physiological features in ventilated patients, such as gas distribution, cardiac performance, and ventilation-perfusion matching. However, effect on VILI is unknown. The goal this study was compare effects mechanically-ventilated healthy rabbits.Sixteen New Zealand...

Abstract The present study was designed to determine whether sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) could be endogenously produced in adipocyte and served as a novel adipocyte-derived inflammatory inhibitor. SO detected adipose tissue using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. synthase aspartate aminotransferase (AAT1 AAT2) mRNA protein expressions tissues were measured. For vitro study, 3T3-L1 adipocytes cultured, infected adenovirus carrying AAT1 gene or lentivirus shRNA...

It has been proved that spontaneous breathing (SB) with biphasic positive airway pressure (BIPAP) can improve lung aeration in acute respiratory distress syndrome compared controlled mechanical ventilation. The authors hypothesized SB BIPAP would attenuate injury pressure-controlled ventilation.Twenty male New Zealand white rabbits hydrochloric acid aspiration-induced were randomly ventilated using the either (BIPAP plus group) or without minus for 5 h. Inspiration was adjusted to maintain...
