Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that significantly affects patients'quality of life. There is no cure for psoriasis, and available treatments are not completely effective. We have previously found that hydroxytyrosol (HT) has anti-psoriatic effects in vitro.

Despite its good therapeutic effects, its real-world safety remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the real-world safety of CZP using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

Background: With a focus on metabolism-related cardiovascular diseases, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been used as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance in the prognosis of coronary heart disease. However, the prognostic role of the TyG index in patients with elevated triglycerides, still requires further research. This study aimed to investigate the association between the TyG index and Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE) in patients with hypertriglyceridemia undergoing drug-eluting stent percutaneous coronary intervention (DES-PCI).

The objective of the present study was to determine whether increased HbA1c levels are associated with high CVD prevalence among nondiabetics. Furthermore, we aimed to explore the possible interaction of HbA1c levels and age in regard to CVD.

Accordingly, we developed a novel prognostic signature for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICCA) based on senescence-associated long non-coding RNAs (SR-lncRNAs) and identified a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA axis involving in ICCA. Based on the 197 senescence-associated genes (SRGs) from Genacards and their expression in Fu-ICCA cohort, we identified 20 lncRNAs as senescence-associated lncRNAs (SR-lncRNAs) through co-expression and cox-regression analysis.

Protocadherin 8 (PCDH8), a calcium-dependent transmembrane protein in the protocadherin family, regulates cell adhesion and signal transduction. While some studies have provided indirect evidence that PCDH8 has cancer-promoting properties, this association is controversial. In particular, its involvement in thyroid cancer (THCA) remains unclear.
