Abstract Soaring cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are pummeling the global health system. Overwhelmed facilities have endeavored to mitigate pandemic, but mortality COVID-19 continues increase. Here, we present a risk prediction model for (MRPMC) that uses patients’ clinical data on admission stratify patients by risk, which enables physiological deterioration and death up 20 days in advance. This ensemble is built using four machine learning methods including Logistic Regression,...

We have reported that sulforaphane (SFN) prevented diabetic cardiomyopathy in both type 1 and 2 diabetes (T2DM) animal models via the upregulation of nuclear transcription factor erythroid 2–related (Nrf2) metallothionein (MT). In this study, we tested whether SFN protects heart from T2DM directly through Nrf2, MT, or both. Using Nrf2-knockout (KO), MT-KO, wild-type (WT) mice, was induced by feeding a high-fat diet for 3 months followed small dose streptozotocin. Age-matched controls were...

Inhibition of total histone deacetylases (HDACs) was phenomenally associated with the prevention diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, which specific HDAC plays key role in DCM remains unclear. The present study designed to determine whether can be prevented by inhibition HDAC3 and elucidate mechanisms prevents DCM. Type 1 diabetes OVE26 age-matched wild-type (WT) mice were given selective inhibitor RGFP966 or vehicle for 3 months. These then killed immediately months later cardiac...

Glioblastomas multiforme (GBM) are the most frequently occurring malignant brain cancers. Treatment for GBM consists of surgical resection and subsequent adjuvant radiation therapy chemotherapy. Despite this, patient survival is limited to 12-15 months, researchers continually trying develop improved options. Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein (Imp2) known be upregulated in many cancers regulate signaling activity insulin-like (IGF2). However, relatively little about its role...

To develop a clinic-relevant protocol for systemic up-regulation of NFE2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) to prevent diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), male db/db and age-matched wild-type (WT) mice were given sulforaphane (SFN, an Nrf2 activator) its natural source, broccoli sprout extract (BSE) by gavage every other day 3 months, with four groups: vehicle (0.1 ml/10 g), BSE-low dose (estimated SFN availability at 0.5 mg/kg), BSE-high 1.0 (0.5 mg/kg). Cardiac function pathological changes (hypertrophy,...

The prognostic value of SMAD4 in pancreatic cancer has been evaluated several studies. However, the conclusions remain controversial. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate association between expression and outcome patients by performing a meta-analysis.We systematically searched for relevant studies evaluating relationship until May 2015. A meta-analysis was performed using STATA 12.0, pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used estimate strength prognosis...

Abstract Introduction Increasing evidence indicate that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is companied by renal dysfunction. However, the association of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-induced dysfunction with prognosis remains obscure. Materials and methods All 154 patients COVID-19 were recruited from Second People’s Hospital Fuyang City in Anhui, China. Demographic characteristics laboratory data extracted. Renal was evaluated its followed up based on a...

Abstract Obesity often leads to obesity‐related cardiac hypertrophy ( ORCH ), which is suppressed by zinc‐induced inactivation of p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK ). In this study, we investigated the mechanisms zinc inactivates prevent .
