Univariate, least absolute shrinkage, selection operators, and stepwise Cox regression analyses were used to identify prognostic signatures. Risk score-based prognostic and nomogram models were constructed to predict the prognostic risk of AML. Subsequently, consistent cluster analysis was performed to stratify patients into different subtypes, and subtype-related module genes were screened using weighted gene co-expression network analysis.

Using gene expression data of TCGA set, we identified m6A- and m5C-related lncRNAs. Consensus Clustering Analysis was performed for samples subtyping based on survival-related lncRNAs, followed by analyzing tumor infiltrating immune cells (TIICs). Optimal signature lncRNAs were obtained using lasso Cox regression analysis for constructing a prognostic model and a nomogram to predict prognosis. We built a co-expression network of 23 m6A-related genes, 15 m5C-related genes, and 62 lncRNAs. Based on 9 m6A- and m5C-related lncRNAs significantly associated with overall survival (OS) time, two molecular subtypes were obtained, which had significantly different OS time and fractions of TIICs. A prognostic model based on six m6A- and m5C-related signature lncRNAs was constructed, which could dichotomize patients into two risk subgroups with significantly different OS time. Prognostic power of the model was successfully validated in an independent dataset. We subsequently constructed a nomogram which could accurately predict survival probabilities. Drug sensitivity analysis found preferred chemotherapeutic agents for high and low-risk patients, respectively. Our study reveals that m6A- and m5C-related lncRNAs are associated with prognosis and immune microenvironment of CC.

Besides, it seeks to determine whether specific fatty acids can prevent ischemic stroke by managing blood pressure and revealing the specific mechanisms of this action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This research involved downloading relevant data from websites and extracting SNPs that met the standard criteria as instrumental variables.

Then, inverse variance weighting and the weighted median were employed as primary analysis methods, accompanied by sensitivity analysis to assess the validity of the causal relationships. Initially, multivariable Mendelian randomization was used to identify fatty acids linked to blood pressure and the incidence of ischemic stroke. The causal link between certain fatty acids and the initiation of ischemic stroke was then investigated using bidirectional and mediator Mendelian randomization techniques.

Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization revealed that Omega-3 significantly influences DBP (P = 1.01e-04) and IS (P = 0.016).
