Article Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate the potential of circulating small RNAs (sRNAs) as predictive biomarkers for future colorectal cancer (CRC). The study analyzed serum samples from pre-diagnostic CRC patients in two prospective biobanks.

Methods: Serum samples from 142 pre-diagnostic CRC patients, from the Finnish Maternity Cohort (FMC) and The HUNT Study (HUNT2), were subjected to small RNA sequencing. The study compared sRNA expression in CRC cases with controls, considering diverse sRNA classes.

Results: Analysis revealed diverse miRNA expression patterns with notable variations in future metastatic cases. Specifically, miR-223-3p and miR-21-5p showed significant up-regulation in future metastatic cases in the FMC cohort. Consistent changes were observed across cohorts, with miR-584-5p, miR-30c-5p, miR-146a-5p, miR-10a-5p, and miR-1306-5p showing up-regulation in future metastatic cases.

Conclusions: The study identified potential serum miRNA biomarkers associated with metastatic CRC, though statistical significance varied. These findings contribute to the understanding of miRNA profiles in pre-diagnostic CRC patients, emphasizing the need for further exploration of non-invasive biomarkers in large prospective studies.

Background: Disturbances in lipid metabolism are usually associated with hyperlipidemia, which is commonly observed in donkeys with inappetence or anorexia. The diagnostic utility of ultrasound measurements of croup fat thickness (CFT) and relative liver echogenicity for lipomobilization in donkeys with fasting-induced hyperlipidemia was investigated. A prospective observational control study involving 25 donkeys was conducted, and the animals were randomly assigned to a fasting group (FG, n = 20) and a control group (CG, n = 5).

A sensitive electrochemical glucose biosensor using ZrO₂@CNTs nanocomposite was developed for real-time metabolism monitoring for athletes. The nanocomposite was prepared by a simple ultrasound-assisted technique, and the glucose oxidase (GOx) was covalently immobilized to improve the biorecognition ability. CNTs treated with acid served as a highly conductive framework, and ZrO₂ nanoparticles can provide structural stability and catalytic performance, thus showing synergistic enhancement of electron transfer kinetics and enzyme loading capacity.

Ado-trastuzumab is considered a standard treatment for patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (mBC). Current clinical practices do not reliably predict therapeutic outcomes for patients who are refractory to therapy. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as critical regulators of gene expression and therapeutic resistance, and the use of lncRNAs as tumor biomarkers is becoming more common in other diseases.

Case History: In 2023, 160/245 (65%) 2-year-old KiwiCross dairy heifers from a seasonally calving Otago herd developed severe granular vulvovaginitis after calving.

Clinical Findings: Affected heifers presented 3-12 days post-calving with tail elevation, vaginal discharge and, in most cases, vulval swelling. Heifers were afebrile although some were inappetent.

Background: The Therapeutic Effects of Steroids in IgA Nephropathy Global (TESTING) trial demonstrated that glucocorticoid therapy reduced proteinuria and improved kidney outcomes in patients with Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN). Galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) plays a central role in IgAN pathogenesis by promoting immune complex formation. However, the effects of glucocorticoid on pathogenic IgA levels remain unclear.
