For effective prevention, it is important to find biomarkers for early-stage diagnosis and prognosis. Further, finding the risk factors that are associated with undifferentiated early gastric cancer is the utmost required. Here, we explored the clinicopathological characteristics of undifferentiated early gastric cancer (EGC) in the elderly, and the risk factors for lymph node metastasis. A total of 187 elderly patients with undifferentiated EGC were selected as subjects, whose clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into lymph node metastasis and non-lymph node metastasis groups, and the risk factors for lymph node metastasis were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. A nomogram model was established to predict the risk of lymph node metastasis, and then validated. Lymph node metastasis was detected in 32 (17.11%) of the 187 cases. Univariate analysis showed that tumor diameter, depth of invasion, vascular tumor thrombus and local ulcer affected lymph node metastasis ( P <0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that tumor diameter >2 cm, invasion to submucosa, vascular tumor thrombus and local ulcer were independent risk factors ( P <0.05). The nomogram model was constructed based on the independent risk factors, and its concordance index and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.756 (95%CI: 0.684-0.830) and 0.758 (95%CI: 0.701-0.815), respectively. Calibration curve and model calibration curve suggested that the predicted probability of the model was consistent with the actual one, indicating high accuracy. Lymph node metastasis of the elderly with undifferentiated EGC is affected by many factors, among which tumor diameter >2 cm, invasion to submucosa, vascular tumor thrombus and local ulcer are independent risk factors.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44634707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the sepsis develops into acute organ dysfunction it is considered severe. Severe sepsis increases the economic burden by means of potential treatment for inflammatory responses and multiple organ failure. Several factors, including age, inappropriate use of antibiotics, comorbidities, multiple organ dysfunction, and site of infection, are considered to increase mortality risk in severe septic patients. This systematic review analyses various factors influencing mortality in ICU-hospitalized patients with severe sepsis. A systematic search for relevant articles up to September 2022 was carried out on 6 electronic databases, including Scopus, MEDLINE, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase and Google Scholar. Of 1078 articles, only nine studies were reviewed after meeting the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis of three studies reveal significantly more fatality in older patients than the younger (OR; 2.28: 1.65, 3.15: 95% CI: I 2 = 11%, P <0.00001). The number of organ failure also significantly influences the mortality with the mortality rate being higher for patients with ≥4 organ failures (OR; 0.19: 0.11, 0.30: 95% CI: I 2 = 93%: P <0.00001). The mortality rates for hospital-acquired, community-acquired and ICU-acquired infections were 0.41 (95% CI; 0.18, 0.69), 0.40 (95% CI; 0.20, 0.63), and 0.42 (95% CI; 0.44, 0.53), respectively. Gender shows no significant difference on mortality rates (OR; 1.05: 0.95, 1.16: 95% CI: I 2 = 27%: p = 0.35). Age, the number of organ failures, and the acquisition sites seem to significantly influence the mortality, while gender has an insignificant influence on the mortality of ICU-admitted severe septic patients.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48183793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, extracellular matrix (ECM) under stress model associated or not with diabetes remains unknown. This study aims to investigate the involvement of diabetes and unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS) on ECM remodelling. Rats were exposed to UCMS, diabetes or combined treatment. mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9), plasminogen activator (t-PA) and inhibitor (PAI-1) was examined by Q-RT-PCR. ECM was determined by ELISA. MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA was lower in diabetes ( P <0.05). UCMS increased MMP-2 and MMP-9 compared to control and diabetic group. Compared to the control and diabetes groups, MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA was significantly increased in the combined treatment group. UCMS increased MMP-2 expression in the diabetic group ( P <0.01). Compared to control, gelatinase activity was higher in diabetes and UCMS ( P <0.05). Combined diabetes and UCMS significantly increased gelatinase activity compared to T2D and UCMS groups. Collagen, hydroxyproline and fibronectin content were significantly increased in diabetes and combined groups. UCMS combined with diabetes exacerbated diabetes-induced MMPs and fibronectin deposition. In conclusion, comorbidity between diabetes and UCMS may exacerbate ECM remodelling. These findings will be useful in understanding diabetes-induced cardiovascular disease.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42292261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the underlying mechanism remains obscure. In this study, we investigated whether DOX toxicity is associated with the deregulation of circular RNA_0004212 (circ_0004214). Circ_0004214, microRNA-22-3p (miR-22-3p), and GATA binding protein 4 (GATA4) expression in human cardiomyocyte AC16 cells was detected via RT-qPCR. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) content were assessed using corresponding commercial kits. Cell viability and apoptosis were analyzed using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry assays. Western blot assay was used to evaluate apoptosis-related markers and GATA4 protein levels. Dual-luciferase reporter validated the relationship between miR-22-3p and circ_0004214 or GATA4. Declined circ_0004214 was viewed in DOX-treated AC16 cells. DOX treatment weakened cell viability, and promoted oxidative stress and apoptosis, which was ameliorated via circ_0004214 overexpression. In addition, circ_0004214 promoted GATA4 expression by decoying miR-22-3p. Overall, the results have demonstrated that circ_0004214 protects against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity via governing miR-22-3p/GATA4 pathway, and thereby reveal promising therapeutic strategies against cardiotoxicity.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48056937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
