Studies have shown that some cytokines in COVID-19 patients were elevated. This study aims to assess whether IL-10, IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, TNF-α, IP-10 and IL-4 serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers of COVID-19.The above serum non-COVID-19 detected by ELISA SARS-CoV-2 IgM IgG the chemiluminescence method. The independent-sample Mann-Whitney U test was utilised compare cytokine levels different groups courses, Levene T-test T'-test they genders Spearman correlation analyse between with ages...

Xueshuantong injection (Lyophilized) (XSTI) is widely used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, anaphylactoid reactions (ARs) are frequently reported as one of its side effects, the mechanisms ARs their relationship with different immune status still not well understood. This article aims examine sensitizing effect XSTI, explore impact normal immunocompromised states on ARs, analyze AR-related metabolic pathways by metabolomics. An mouse model was established...

Abstract Many self-renewal-promoting factors of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been implicated in carcinogenesis, while little known about the genes that direct ESCs exit from pluripotency and regulate tumor development. Here, we show transcripts Gadd45 family genes, including Gadd45a, Gadd45b, Gadd45g, are gradually increased upon mouse ESC differentiation. Upregulation members decreases cell proliferation induces endodermal trophectodermal lineages. In contrast, knockdown can delay...

Abstract Lung cancer has high mortality, often accompanied with systemic metabolic disorders. The present study aimed at defining values of trans‐nodules cross‐clinical phenomic and lipidomic network layers in patients adenocarcinoma (ADC), squamous cell carcinomas, or small lung (SCLC). We measured plasma profiles found that altered lipid panels concentrations varied among subtypes, genders, ages, stages, metastatic status, nutritional clinical phenome severity. It was shown...

The tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and monocytic cells play a critical role in the development of atherosclerosis, which is major cause coronary heart disease (CHD). In this work, we investigated effect excess TNF-α on monocytes blood found that from CHD patients had potential to directly form cholesteryl ester (CE)-laden under vitro incubation with oxLDL. plasma levels proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, interleukin 6 (IL-6), C reactive protein (CRP), were significantly higher than...

Abstract T cells, with numerous classifications, are vital components of the adaptive immune system, which function to maintain homeostasis protect against pathogens. With rapid development single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq), specificity and functions high‐resolution characterizations identities cells continuously explored discovered. The exact cell provide new insights for deeply understanding heterogeneity identification previously unrecognized subsets. accuracy cluster annotation...

We explored the association between plasma growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) levels and chronic heart failure (CHF) in coronary disease patients. measured GDF-15 N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) 269 untreated patients (98 with CHF, 84 without 87 control patients) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. All subjects were examined by echocardiography left ventricular ejection fraction. found that atherosclerosis CHF [median 1622.48 (25-75th percentile:...

At the end of March 2013, first case human infection with avian influenza A(H7N9) virus was confirmed in Shanghai. From April to May 18 patients were hospitalized Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center, and finally, 12 them survived. The short-term prognosis these had been described previously,[1] but long-term remained unclear. September November 5 survivors discharged from Center admitted Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University.

Abnormal glucose metabolism brings out joint inflammation and destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential circulating hexokinase-2 (HK2) peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (RA) patients.PBMCs were obtained from patients with RA or osteoarthritis (OA) healthy controls (HCs). expression HK2 assessed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are progenitor that retain the ability to differentiate into various cell types and necessary for tissue repair. Improving culture conditions maintain pluripotency of ESCs in vitro is an urgent problem field regenerative medicine. Here, we reveal Spautin-1, a specific small-molecule inhibitor ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) family members USP10 USP13, promotes maintenance self-renewal mouse vitro. Functional studies only knockdown but not USP10, capable...

The serum proteins creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CKMB) and cardiac troponin T are classic biomarkers of ischemic damage in clinical practice, which can sensitively detect myocardial necrosis, while other two proteins, ischemia-modified albumin N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), have been recently identified as novel ischemia. In this study, the four were detected sera from 44 eligible patients with suspected coronary heart disease (CHD) before after treadmill exercise...
