In this study, we aimed to explore the regulatory effect and mechanism of lncRNA SOX2-OT in MIRI.Methods: The expression levels of SOX2-OT and miR-146a-5p in OGD/R-treated H9C2 cells and in myocardial tissues of MIRI rats were measured by qRT-PCR. Cell viability was detected by MTT assay. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, and SOD were measured by ELISA. The target relationship between SOX2-OT and miR-146a-5p was predicted by LncBase, and subsequently confirmed by DLR assay. The effects of SOX2-OT silencing on myocardial apoptosis and function were further validated in MIRI rats.Results: The expression of SOX2-OT was increased in OGD/R-treated H9C2 cells and myocardial tissues of MIRI rats. Silencing of SOX2-OT increased the viability and inhibited the inflammation and oxidative stress of OGD/R-treated H9C2 cells. SOX2-OT negatively regulated its target miR-146a-5p. Inhibition of miR-146a-5p reversed the effects of sh-SOX2-OT on increasing the viability, and on inhibiting the inflammation and oxidative stress of OGD/R-treated H9C2 cells. In addition, silencing of SOX2-OT alleviated myocardial apoptosis and improved myocardial function in MIRI rats.Conclusions: Silencing of SOX2-OT relieved the apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress of myocardial cells via up-regulating miR-146a-5p, contributing to the remission of MIRI (Fig. 28, Ref. 33).","PeriodicalId":55328,"journal":{"name":"Bratislava Medical Journal-Bratislavske Lekarske Listy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10515313","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}

TL was measured during maintenance therapy, in which maintenance of remission was followed for 5 years.Results: TL > 3 µg/ml during maintenance therapy was a significant predictor of clinical remission in 5 years in UC patients (82 % vs 62 %, p 3 µg/ml during maintenance therapy in a cohort of IBD patients (p = 0.05). Deviations in percentage of remission and fraction of relapses in TL categories were insignificant in a cohort of CD patients (85 % vs 74 %, p > 0.05).Conclusions: TL > 3 µg/ml during maintenance therapy is a strong predictor of sustained clinical remission for 5 years in UC patients.

The purpose of our study was to study the distribution of alleles and genotypes AGTR1, AGТ, LPL and ADRB2 among adolescents of the Kazakh population and to identify the relationship of these genes with predictors of obesity.Methods: The study involved 184 adolescents aged 15-18 years of the Kazakh population.Results: As a result of the study, it was revealed that the G allele of the rs328 polymorphism of the LPL gene reduces the risk of developing abdominal obesity compared to the C allele.The C/G genotype reduces the risk of developing abdominal obesity. We have identified among the studied adolescents of the Kazakh population an increase in the ratio of waist volume (WV) to hip volume (HV) among boys, which may in the future lead to obesity and cardiovascular diseases in general.Conclusion: It was also found that the G allele of the rs328 polymorphism of the LPL gene reduces the risk of abdominal obesity. Therefore, in addition to determining BMI, we recommend determining the ratio WV to HP. It was found that an increase in the ratio of WV/HV by 1 cm increases the chance of developing hypoapolipoproteinemia A1 (Tab. 4, Fig. 1, Ref. 23).

However, brain complexity and the non-stationary nature of EEG signals represent a challenge when applying this technique. The current paper proposes new geometrical features for classification of seizure (S) and seizure-free (SF) EEG signals with respect to the Poincaré pattern of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients. DWT decomposes EEG signal to four levels, and thus Poincaré plot is shown for coefficients. Due to patterns of the Poincaré plot, novel geometrical features are computed from EEG signals. The computed features are involved in standard descriptors of 2‑D projection (STD), summation of triangle area using consecutive points (STA), as well as summation of shortest distance from each point relative to the 45-degree line (SSHD), and summation of distance from each point relative to the coordinate center (SDTC). The proposed procedure leads to discriminate features between S and SF EEG signals. Thereafter, a binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) is developed as an appropriate technique for feature selection. Finally, k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers are used for classifying features in S and SF groups. By developing the proposed method, we have archived classification accuracy of 99.3 % with respect to the proposed geometrical features. Accordingly, S and SF EEG signals have been classified. Also, Poincaré plot of SF EEG signals has more regular geometrical shapes as compared to S group. As a final remark, we notice that the Poincaré plot of coefficients in S EEG signals has occupied more space as compared to SF EEG signals (Tab. 3, Fig. 11, Ref. 57).
