Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the expression levels and correlation of inflammatory factors such as miR-377-3p and TGF-β in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and to investigate the regulatory mechanism of transfection of miR-377-3p on the inflammatory response of HK-2 cell induced by high glucose.

Methods: According to UACR, patients were divided into normal albuminuria group (Con, n = 29), microalbuminuria group (Micro, n = 31) and macroalbuminuria group (Macro, n = 30), analyzed the correlation and influencing factors between DKD and inflammatory factor. HK-2 cells were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group (NC), high glucose group (HG), miR-377-3p overexpression group (MIN), and miR-377-3p inhibition group (IN).

Objective: The value of novel biomarkers for DKD has received increasing attention, and there is an urgent need for novel biomarkers with sensitivity, specificity and ability to detect kidney damage.miR-377 regulates many basic biological processes, plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation, migration and inflammation, and can also increase the expression of matrix proteins and fibronectin, leading to renal tubulointerstitial inflammation and renal fibrosis. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, as an inflammatory marker, is involved in the pathological process of microalbuminuria production and renal function decline, and is a predictive factor of microalbuminuria production and renal function decline, and can be used as an indicator to evaluate the progression of DKD.

Aims And Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacological mechanism of Hederagenin (HD) combined with oxaliplatin (L-OHP) in treating gastric cancer (GC) through network pharmacology combined with experimental verification.

Material And Methods: Network pharmacology methods were used to screen potential targets for HD, L-OHP, and GC-related targets from public databases, and the intersection of the three gene sets was taken. Cross genes were analyzed through protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks to predict core targets, and related pathways were predicted through GO and KEGG enrichment analysis.

IL-17 and other cytokines have a number of immunomodulatory effects on thyroid cells. The present study investigated the changes and correlations amongst IL-17, NF-κB, IL-6, IL-10, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), TNF-α, IL-2 and IL-4 in patients with different autoimmune thyroid diseases in order to further clarify the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid disease. A total of 82 patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases (41 with Graves' disease and 41 with Hashimoto's thyroiditis) and 53 healthy controls were enrolled.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate how ACE2/Ang1-7 and ACE/AngII systems are affected by glucose metabolism in individuals with diabetes and their potential link to COVID-19 severity.
  • Researchers analyzed 88 type 2 diabetes patients, 72 prediabetes patients, and 50 controls, finding that ACE2 and Ang1-7 levels increased with diabetes severity while ACE and IL-6 levels rose in longer-duration diabetes groups.
  • The results suggest that dysregulation of ACE2/Ang1-7 may contribute to worse COVID-19 outcomes in diabetic individuals, as ACE2 levels decreased over time while ACE/AngII effects became more pronounced.
