Association between visceral adipose tissue and asthma based on the NHANES and Mendelian randomization study.

Background: Obesity is a crucial risk factor for asthma. Observational studies have examined the association between abdominal obesity and asthma symptoms. This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and asthma and its potential as an independent indicator.

Integrated Multi-omics Analyses Identify CDCA5 as a Novel Biomarker Associated with Alternative Splicing, Tumor Microenvironment, and Cell Proliferation in Colon Cancer Via Pan-cancer Analysis.

: CDCA5 has been reported as a gene involved in the cell cycle, however current research provides little details. Our goal was to figure out its functions and probable mechanisms in pan-cancer. : Pan-cancer bulk sequencing data and web-based analysis tools were applied to analyze CDCA5's correlations with the gene expression, clinical prognosis, genetic alterations, promoter methylation, alternative splicing, immune checkpoints, tumor microenvironment and enrichment.

The causal relationship between osteoarthritis and bladder cancer: A Mendelian randomization study.

Objective: The causal association between osteoarthritis (OA) and bladder cancer remains unclear. This Mendelian randomization (MR) study was carried out to assess the potential causal effects of any OA, knee OA and hip OA, and bladder cancer.

Method: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data for OA and bladder cancer were obtained in GWAS CATALOG, UK Biobank, and FinnGen Consortium.

Circulating lymphocyte subpopulations in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and their correlation with disease activity.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the overall alterations of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A total of 120 patients diagnosed with SLE and 64 health donors were enrolled. The lymphocyte subsets were detected using flow cytometry.

Clinical significance of circulating neutrophils and lymphocyte subsets in newly diagnosed patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Lymphocytes play crucial roles in tumor surveillance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a biomarker for systematic inflammation, has been confirmed to be a prognostic factor for many malignant diseases. Herein, we conducted a systemic in-depth study of circulating neutrophils and lymphocyte subsets in DLBCL patients and their dynamics along with chemoimmunotherapy.

Peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets of newly diagnosed DLBCL patients and their dynamic changes with rituximab based immunochemotherapy.

The purpose of this study was to explore lymphocyte subsets of newly diagnosed DLBCL patients, and dynamics along with treatment of R-CHOP. A total of 40 DLBCL patients were enrolled. ALC of grade III-IV DLBCL patients was significantly lower than that of health controls (1.
