ATAC-seq is widely used to measure chromatin accessibility and identify open regions (OCRs). OCRs usually indicate active regulatory elements in the genome are directly associated with gene network. The identification of differential (DARs) between different biological conditions critical determining activity elements. Differential analysis shares many similarities expression RNA-seq data. However, distribution signal intensity from that data, higher sensitivity required for DARs...

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred treatment for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, in patients with high thrombus burden, immediate stenting during PCI can lead to poor outcomes due risk of migration and subsequent microvascular occlusion, resulting no-reflow phenomena. Deferred offers a potential advantage by allowing reduction load, which may help minimize incidence slow-flow complications. This study explores effectiveness deferred...

Methamphetamine (METH) is a highly abused psychostimulant that neurotoxic to dopaminergic (DAergic) nerve terminals in the striatum and increases risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD). In vivo, METH-mediated DA release, followed by DA-mediated oxidative stress mitochondrial dysfunction pre- postsynaptic neurons, mediates METH neurotoxicity. METH-triggered damages parkin, neuroprotective protein involved PD etiology via its involvement maintenance mitochondria. It not known whether...

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Limited evidence from small-scale studies, mainly involving end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, suggests that kidney transplantation may improve cognitive function. We examined changes in function after a transplant and its association with survival advanced chronic (CKD)/ESRD patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In prospective study design, performance of 90 patients (50.6 ± 13.1 years, 66.7% men, 27.8% blacks, 76%...

High calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) intrapatient variability (IPV) has been associated with poor kidney allograft outcomes. However, the relationship between early histological changes, their progression, and CNI-IPV is less well studied. Hence, we evaluated effect of defined by degree fluctuation CNI levels in all transplant patients over 2 to 12 months posttransplant on inflammation, subsequent chronicity, later clinical outcomes.Two hundred eighty-six transplanted from January 2013 November...

Mutations in parkin gene (Park2) are linked to early-onset autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease (PD) and young-onset sporadic PD. Park2 knockout (PKO) rodents; however, do not display neurodegeneration of the nigrostriatal pathway, suggesting age-dependent compensatory changes. Our goal was examine dopaminergic (DAergic) system striatum 2 month-old PKO rats order characterize mechanisms that may have occurred within system. The striata form wild type (WT) Long Evans male were assessed for...

Abstract:: Naturally occurring glycosylated hydroquinone Arbutin, has drawn interest due to its possible function in reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Arbutin is well-known for anti-inflammatory antioxidant properties, which are essential preventing oxidative stress neuroinflammation. Research shown that arbutin might alter important physiological pathways connected protein...

Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity constitutes subclinical myocardial dysfunction, arrhythmias, pericarditis, coronary vasospasm, and significant symptomatic heart failure. Anthracyclines pose higher risk for long-term cardiac with increased incidences of morbidity mortality. Hence, early detection chemotherapy-induced dysfunction may prompt an earlier treatment modification. To evaluate global, longitudinal, radial, circumferential strain changes in adult patients undergoing anthracycline...
