A Systematic Study of Dysregulated MicroRNA in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
2017
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that modulate the cellular transcriptome at the post-transcriptional level. miRNA plays important roles in different disease manifestation, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Many studies have characterized the changes of miRNAs in T2DM, a complex systematic disease; however, few studies have integrated these findings and explored the functional effects of the dysregulated miRNAs identified. To investigate the involvement of miRNAs in T2DM, we obtained and analyzed all relevant studies published prior to 18 October 2016 from various literature databases. From 59 independent studies that met the inclusion criteria, we identified 158 dysregu…
CC chemokine receptor 5 polymorphism in Italian patients with Beḩet's disease
2012
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the potential role of CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5)Δ32 polymorphism in the susceptibility to and clinical expression of Behcet's disease (BD) in a cohort of Italian patients. METHODS: One hundred and ninety-six consecutive Italian patients satisfying the ISG criteria for BD were followed up for 8 years, and 180 healthy age- and sex-matched blood donors were molecularly genotyped for the CCR5Δ32 polymorphism. A standard microlymphocytotoxicity technique was used to serotype HLA-B51. The patients were subgrouped on the basis of the presence or absence of clinical manifestations. RESULTS: The distribution of the CCR5Δ32 genotype differed between BD patients and controls…
Lack of association of the -463 G/A myeloperoxidase promoter polymorphism with Behcet's disease in Italian patients.
2007
Objective. To investigate potential associations between the � 463G/A myeloperoxidase (MPO) promoter polymorphism and susceptibility to, and clinical expression of, Behcet's disease (BD). Methods. One hundred and seventy-five Italian patients who satisfied the International Study Group criteria for BD and 235 healthy age- and sex-matched blood donors were genotyped for the �463G/A promoter polymorphism of the MPO gene by molecular methods. The patients were subgrouped according to the presence or absence of clinical manifestations. Results. The distribution of allele and genotype frequencies of the MPO �463A/G polymorphism did not differ significantly between the BD patients and the healthy…
How To Combine Ozone Therapies With Other Modalities For Maximum Efficacy
2018
In order to use Bio-Oxidative Therapies effectively, a small shift in thinking is needed. One needs to shift from Disease Literacy to Healing Literacy This shift in thinking leads to the inevitable conclusion that: Impaired Oxygen Signaling is the common denominator for all disease. Impaired Oxygen Signaling affects: • O2 driven energetics • O2's detergent function • O2's cellular repair function • O2's renewal function It is important to be aware of Oxygen's multiple functions in order to appreciate the importance of the role bio-oxidative therapies play in the reversal of disease conditions. In fact, no treatment…
