Dysregulation of the immune system is an important factor in this pathology. Inflammation markers, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and immune cells are reported to be changed in psoriasis. Study design In the current cohort study, the possible changes in interleukin-6 (IL-6), neopterin levels, and kynurenine (Kyn) pathway in 42 psoriasis patients compared to 30 controls, and their change with narrow-band (NB) UVB treatment were investigated. Methodology IL-6 and serum neopterin levels were analyzed with ELISA kits. HPLC analyses were performed to detect urinary neopterin, serum Kyn, and tryptophan (Trp) levels. Results IL-6 levels were lower, while Kyn levels and the Kyn-to-Trp ratio were higher in psoriasis patients compared to control subjects (p < 0.01, all). Conclusion Narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) treatment decreased Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores and increased urinary neopterin levels of the patients (both, p < 0.01). Serum neopterin was correlated with Kyn and Kyn/Trp levels before and after NB-UVB treatment (p < 0.05, all). These findings point out that the measured parameters might be considered to support the PASI score in both diagnosis and prognosis of psoriasis rather than evaluating the severity of the disease.","PeriodicalId":20792,"journal":{"name":"Pteridines","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47439741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted this meta-analysis to identify the association between tHcy and different kinds of strokes or recurrences of strokes, and provide evidence for preventing. Methods Relevant studies published before May 1, 2022 in databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, and Wanfang were retrieved. Two researchers independently searched and extracted the data, and used Stata 16.0 statistical software for analysis. Results were presented as the odds risk (OR) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results In total, 24 articles were included, involving 51,426 subjects, of which 4,983 had stroke events during follow-up. Relative to lower tHcy, higher tHcy were associated with increased stroke (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.59–2.37), ischemic stroke (OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.39–2.11), hemorrhagic stroke (OR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.03–3.84), and recurrent stroke (OR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.12–1.39), respectively. Conclusions This study shows that elevated tHcy increases the risk of stroke, including ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke, and is closely related to the recurrence of stroke. It is recommended to pay attention to the detection of tHcy in the management of stroke patients in the future, and take effective measures to prevent and delay the progression of stroke.","PeriodicalId":20792,"journal":{"name":"Pteridines","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42515423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mean sample cold recovery time was compared to the US population mean. A review of the Moheno (2014) 2-year observational study was conducted to evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of Immunopterin against colds. Early COVID-19 case studies, treated with Immunopterin, were collected to explore Immunopterin’s efficacy as a therapeutic and prophylactic against COVID19 disease. Results The mean cold recovery time for the therapeutic sample in the cold/flu observational study was 30 h compared to the US population mean of 168 h (N = 34; p < 0.001). Subjects taking prophylactic Immunopterin reported 0% incidences of colds and flus (N = 31). Immunopterin successfully treated four confirmed COVID-19 subjects.

Most standard dental amalgam formulations contain approximately 50% elemental mercury in a mixture of copper, tin, silver, and zinc. Mercury is a highly volatile metal, which can easily vaporize to a colorless and odorless gas. It has been demonstrated that mercury is released from dental amalgam, which is increased by chewing, eating, brushing, and drinking hot liquids. Besides this, amalgam is the main occupational exposure source of mercury for dental workers. It is known that mercury exposure causes immune modulation in humans. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the changes in neopterin levels and tryptophan (Trp) degradation in dental technicians. It was observed that low levels of occupational mercury exposure resulted in decreased neopterin, kynurenine (Kyn), and Kyn/Trp levels. Moreover, mercury and neopterin levels had a significant positive correlation in workers. The lower neopterin levels and Kyn/Trp in dental technicians compared to an unexposed group indicates a possible immune suppression with low level of occupational mercury exposure during amalgam preparation. The relationship between urinary mercury levels as an indicator of occupational mercury exposure and neopterin reminded an effect on T-cell-mediated immune response.","PeriodicalId":20792,"journal":{"name":"Pteridines","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47761838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve of serum Hcy for UC were also calculated.

The pooled results indicated that the serum levels of Hcy were statical different between UC and healthy controls with SMD = 0.95 (95% CI: 0.87–1.04).
