Article Abstract
Aim: Heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) is a small heat shock protein known to protect the cells from apoptosis under stress. In the present study, we determined the plasma Hsp27 levels in type 2 diabetes subjects without and with microvascular complications- diabetic retinopathy (DRe), diabetic nephropathy (DNe), and diabetic neuropathy (DNu) to understand if it could serve as a marker for these complications.
Methods: This is a hospital-based case-control study with 754 subjects including 247 controls, 195 subjects with diabetes, 123 with DRe, 80 with DNe and 109 with DNu. Plasma Hsp27 levels were measured by ELISA.
Results: The mean plasma Hsp27 was higher in the DNe group (631.5±355.2) compared to the control (496.55±308.54), diabetes (523.41±371.01), DRe (494.60±391.48) and DNu (455.21±319.74) groups with a p-value of 0.018. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of Hsp27 in DNe group showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.617. Spearman correlation analysis shows a positive correlation of plasma Hsp27 with serum creatinine (p=0.053, r-value 0.083). Gender, age and BMI did not affect the plasma Hsp27 levels.
Conclusion: The plasma Hsp27 levels in the DNe group are higher compared to the control and other complications, thereby it could be explored to be used as a potential biomarker of DNe.

Purpose: Chemotherapy is the primary treatment for metastatic nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (mNSGCTs), but patients often encounter postchemotherapy residual disease. Accurate noninvasive methods are needed to predict the histology of these masses, guiding treatment and reserving surgery for those with teratoma. This study aims to enhance predictive accuracy by integrating computed tomography (CT) radiomics features with miRNAs (miR371-375) to distinguish between teratoma and nonteratoma histology in postchemotherapy residual masses.

Background And Aims: Previous study found that interleukin 1β (IL-1β) is associated with diabetic cognitive dysfunction. Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is one of the factors related to IL-1β associated inflammation. Here, we aim to investigate the role of HSP27 in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Increasingly popular, recreational diving is a physical activity that takes place under extreme environmental conditions, which include hyperoxia, hyperbaria and exposure to cold water. The effects of these factors on the human body induce increased levels of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in divers' bodies, which may modulate damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMPs), their receptors and the antioxidant response. This study involved 21 divers who descended to a depth of 40 metres.

Antimicrobial peptides have gained much attention in clinical research due to their extensive possibilities of application beyond antimicrobial use. The modification of antimicrobial peptides enables the peptides to target particular cancer cells, improving the specificity and efficiency of the treatment. In this study, TP2-D-Tox, a derivative of TP-D-Tox, demonstrated a superior anti-tumor activity towards renal carcinoma, Caki-2, and breast carcinoma, SK-BR-3.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms that include social interaction deficits, language difficulties and restricted, repetitive behavior. Early intervention through medication and behavioral therapy can eliminate some ASD-related symptoms and significantly improve the life-quality of the affected individuals. Currently, the diagnosis of ASD is highly limited.
