The aim of the present study was to identify the differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in placenta from patients with preeclampsia, and examine their roles in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia in vivo and ex vivo. The placental expression levels of miRNAs were examined in tissue samples harvested from 20 patients with preeclampsia and 20 healthy control individuals. A total of 18 miRNAs we...

CagA of Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium-derived oncogenic protein closely associated with the development of gastric cancers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of widespread non-coding RNAs, many of which are involved in cell growth, cell differentiation and tumorigenesis. The relationship between CagA protein and miRNAs is unclear. Using mammalian miRNA profile microarrays, we found that miRNA...

This conclusion has been a long time in the making. A British study in 1840 observed that "gentlemen" in London lived, on the average, twice as long as "labourers." Starting in 1911, British death certificates have been coded for social class based on occupation. (In the U.S., death certificates are coded for race or ethnicity without reference to class or occupation.) The British database of d...

Abstract. Objective: The authors assessed associations between body weight perception and weight loss strategies. Participants: They randomly selected male and female college students (N = 38,204). Methods: The authors conducted a secondary data analysis of the rates of weight loss strategies and body weight perception among students who completed the National College Health Assessment survey. ...

Results 11’701 interventions were analyzed. We identified 584 (5%) interventions in known MRSA carriers. Only 318/584 (54.5%) MRSA carriers were notified as such by the surgeon in charge in the OR planning software. This reporting rate varied from 23% to 72% depending on the surgical specialties. It increased significantly with the mean weekly prevalence of MRSA carriers on each specialty ward ...

BACKGROUND Our previous studies suggested that aberrant activation of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling might be involved in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. We hypothesized that inhibition of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling might result in inhibition of cell proliferation, migration, and/or invasion of endometrial and endometriotic epithelial and stromal cells of patients with endometriosis. OBJECTIVES T...

A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of sub-clinical and clinical mastitis and the associated factors in cows from selected smallholder dairy farms in Zimbabwe. Physical examinations were conducted on all lactating cows for evidence of signs of clinical mastitis. Composite milk samples were collected from all lactating cows for bacterial culture and somatic cell cou...
