Cognitive impairment is one of the primary features of vascular dementia (VD). However, the specific mechanism underlying the regulation of cognition function in VD is not completely understood. The present study aimed to explore the effects of microRNA (miR)‑150 on VD. To determine the effects of miR‑150 on cognitive function and hippocampal neu…[Read more]

This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in Turkish men aged 60 years and older and the factors associated with AAA.

Through sixty-two family health centers located in the Kecioren district of Ankara, 239 male volunteers of the target age were recruited for this pilot study. The volunteers were scanned…[Read more]

The malignancy of colorectal cancer (CRC) is connected with inflammation and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), but effective therapeutics for CRC are limited. To integrate therapeutic targeting with tumor microenvironment (TME) reprogramming, here we develop biocompatible, non-covalent channel-type nanoparticles (CNPs) that are fabricated…[Read more]

Microbes, including bacteria and fungi, easily form stable biofilms on many surfaces. Such biofilms have high resistance to antibiotics, and cause nosocomial and postoperative infections. The antimicrobial and antiviral behaviors of Ag and Cu nanoparticles (NPs) are well known, and possible mechanisms for their actions, such as released ions,…[Read more]

Genetic changes frequently found in cancer, such as TP53 mutation, also serve as critical determinants of survival outcomes in cancer patients. This review seeks to provide the impetus for further investigation into CCAR1 and CCAR2 as potential master regulators of metabolism, aging, and cancer.Congenital heart disease is exceedingly prevalent in…[Read more]

udies to determine AMR attributable mortality and morbidity are urgently required. Policy makers need accurate and detailed burden estimates to inform prioritization of resource allocation, and to select the most effective intervention strategies to halt the AMR crisis.

Efforts to improve harmonization, representativeness, quality of AMR…[Read more]

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY Although many differences between stromal stem cells derived from human adipose tissue (ASC) and human dermal fibroblasts (FIB) are described, it is still difficult to find specific markers to differentiate them. This problem can interfere with the therapeutic use of ASC. This work aimed to find new markers to…[Read more]
