Epidemiologic characteristics of high-risk HPV and the correlation between multiple infections and cervical lesions
Oct
In the present survey, 19.49% of the HPV-positive samples had multiple HR-HPV infections. All 20,059 samples were divided into 10 age groups (≤ 20 years, 21–25 years, 26–30 years, 31–35 years, 36–40 years, 41–45 years, 46–50 years, 51–55 years, 56–60 years, and > 60 years). There were only 7 people in the ≤ 20 years age group, thus they were not included in the data analysis. Of the HPV-positive samples, 19.49% […]

Differentially expressed circRNAs in peripheral blood samples as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for acute angle-closure glaucoma
Oct
Abstract Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play vital roles in various biological processes as microRNA (miRNA) sponges and, thus, have been investigated as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in numerous human diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of circRNAs in the pathogenesis of glaucoma remain unclear. Therefore, transcriptome sequencing […]

Causal relationship between blood metabolites and risk of five infections: a Mendelian randomization study
Oct
Based on preliminary instrument selection, the number of instrumental variables for metabolites ranged from 3 to 148, with a median of 13. Using these instrumental variables, we initially evaluated the causal relationships ranging from 452 metabolites to five infections and detected a total of 71 suggestive associations (P < 0.05; corresponding to 64 unique metabolites) by IVW […]

Researchers have developed a toolbox to understand the variances in blood group molecule levels between individuals, solving a long-standing mystery related to blood transfusion safety. Their findings not only shed light on the rare Helgeson blood group but also aim to improve blood group testing and further explore the role of blood groups in diseases. […]
