Article Abstract
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with both genetic and environmental risk factors. The PON1 rs854560 (L55M) polymorphism has been implicated in cancer susceptibility through its role in oxidative stress regulation, but its association with CRC remains unclear, particularly in Asian populations.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the association between the PON1 rs854560 polymorphism and CRC susceptibility in a Chinese cohort, while assessing its impact on PON1 expression and enzymatic activity.
Method: A case-control study was conducted on 1,003 CRC patients and 1,303 healthy controls. The impact of the Pon1-rs854560 SNP was assessed by comparing the genotypes of individuals diagnosed with CRC to those of controls without the disease.
Results: Genotype distribution showed slight differences between the case and control groups. The frequency of the AA genotype was slightly lower in the case group (91.72%) than in the control group (93.71%). The AT genotype was observed at similar frequencies in both groups (8.28% in the case group and 6.14% in the control group). Notably, the TT genotype was absent in the case group but present in 0.15% of the control group. Genotype combination analysis suggested that individuals carrying the AT + TT genotype (8.28%) had a higher susceptibility to CRC compared to those with the AA + AT genotype (100%). Allele frequency analysis revealed a slightly higher frequency of allele T in the case group (8.28%) than in the control group (6.45%). Additionally, lower PON1 mRNA and protein expression were associated with CRC progression, including features such as poorer differentiation, deeper tumor invasion, and vascular, nerve, and lymphatic metastasis.
Conclusion: The PON1 rs854560 polymorphism influences CRC risk in Chinese individuals, likely through reduced PON1 expression and detoxification capacity. These findings highlight its potential as a genetic biomarker for CRC susceptibility and suggest PON1's role in tumor progression. Further studies should validate these associations in diverse populations and explore therapeutic strategies targeting PON1 activity.

Objective: We previously documented that exposure to a spectrum of elements is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of mechanistic understanding as to how elemental mixtures contribute to the ASD development.
Materials And Methods: Serum and urinary concentrations of 26 elements and six biomarkers of ASD-relevant pathophysiologic pathways including serum HIPK 2, serum p53 protein, urine malondialdehyde (MDA), urine 8-OHdG, serum melatonin, and urine carnitine, were measured in 21 ASD cases and 21 age-matched healthy controls of children aged 6-12 years.

Rationale: There are insufficient data to inform the management of central sleep apnea (CSA) in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOT) has been postulated to benefit CSA patients with HFrEF, but has not been rigorously studied.

The etiology of gender dysphoria (GD) involves both biological and psychosocial factors and may have a neurodevelopmental aspect. We aimed to compare individuals with GD with each other and with cisgender individuals based on minor physical anomalies (MPAs). The case group comprised 108 individuals with GD (60 GD assigned female at birth [AFAB]; 48 GD assigned male at birth [AMAB]), most with same-biological-sex attraction.

Objective: Aim: To evaluate the possibility of using cataract phacoemulsification with simultaneous intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in patients with age-related cataract (ARC) combined with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) as an algorithm for the pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEG) prevention..
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted using data from medical records of 610 outpatients (813 eyes) with ARC aged from 49 to 79 years (average age 69 ± 3 years).
