Knowledge scores regarding influenza ranged from 0% to 100%, with a mean value of 55 (SD = 18.8%). A higher level of knowledge about influenza was associated with more appropriate attitudes and practices toward the disease (<i>p</i> < 0.001). Notably, participants in their second, third, or fourth year of study and beyond exhibited more suitable attitudes and practices towards the flu compared to those in their first year of study (<i>p</i> < 0.05).

Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease in which plaques, made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances, build up on the inner walls of arteries. Recently, there has been growing interest in finding reliable biomarkers to understand the pathogenesis and progression of atherosclerosis. Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases (TIMPs) have emerged as potential candidates for monitoring atherosclerotic development. TIMPs are a family of endogenous proteins that regulate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes involved in remodeling the extracellular matrix. A systematic search using Prisma guidelines was conducted and eleven studies were selected from four different databases: Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, Ovid, and PubMed. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) score was used to assess the risk of bias for each study. A meta-analysis was performed, and the hazard ratio (HR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were determined. Among the eleven studies, six reported a positive association between higher levels of TIMPs and an increased risk of atherosclerosis. Conversely, four studies support low TIMPs with high CAD risk and one study showed no significant association between TIMP-2 G-418C polymorphism and CAD. This divergence in findings underscores the complexity of the relationship between TIMPs, atherosclerosis, and CAD. In addition, a meta-analysis from two studies yielded a HR (95% CI) of 1.42 (1.16-1.74; <i>p</i> < 0.001; <i>I</i>² = 0%) for TIMP-2 in predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). In conclusion, the existing evidence supports the notion that TIMPs can serve as biomarkers for predicting the severity of atherosclerosis, myocardial damage, and future MACEs among CAD patients. However, further exploration is warranted through larger-scale human studies, coupled with in vitro and in vivo investigations.</p>","PeriodicalId":72832,"journal":{"name":"Diseases (Basel, Switzerland)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11353419/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142082814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This interdisciplinary approach involves various scientific disciplines, particularly toxicology, to understand the long-term effects of toxic exposure on health. Factors like air pollution, racial background, and socioeconomic status significantly contribute to diseases such as metabolic, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases, infertility, and cancer. Advanced analytical methods measure contaminants in biofluids, food, air, water, and soil, but often overlook the cumulative risk of multiple chemicals. An exposome analysis necessitates sophisticated tools and methodologies to understand health interactions and integrate findings into precision medicine for better disease diagnosis and treatment. Chronic exposure to environmental and biological stimuli can lead to persistent low-grade inflammation, which is a key factor in chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as obesity, cardiometabolic disorders, cancer, respiratory diseases, autoimmune conditions, and depression. These NCDs are influenced by smoking, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, and alcohol abuse, all shaped by genetic, environmental, and social factors.

Usually, DWs originate from the interplay of inflammation, oxidation, impaired tissue re-epithelialization, vasculopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy, all of which are related to insulin resistance and sensitivity. The conventional approaches available for the treatment of DWs are mainly confined to the relief of wound pressure, debridement of the wound, and management of infection. In this paper, we speculate that treatment of DWs with 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and subsequent activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) via the AhR pathway might be highly beneficial for DW patients. This estimation is based on several lines of evidence showing that 5-ASA and PPAR-γ activation are involved in the restoration of insulin sensitivity, re-epithelialization, and microcirculation. Additionally, 5-ASA and TGF-β activate inflammation and the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. Suitable stabilized formulations of 5-ASA with high absorption rates are indispensable for scrutinizing its probable pharmacological benefits since 5-ASA is known to possess lower solubility profiles because of its reduced permeability through skin tissue. In vitro and in vivo studies with stabilized formulations and a control (placebo) are mandatory to determine whether 5-ASA indeed holds promise for the curative treatment of DWs.</p>","PeriodicalId":72832,"journal":{"name":"Diseases (Basel, Switzerland)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11353592/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142082813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
