Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19·1 million participants by Bin, Zhou

“…FindingsWe pooled 1479 studies that had measured the blood pressures of 19·1 million adults. Global age-standardised mean systolic blood pressure in 2015 was 127·0 mm Hg (95% credible interval 125·7–128·3) in men and 122·3 mm Hg (121·0–123·6) in women; age-standardised mean diastolic blood pressure was 78·7 mm Hg (77·9–79·5) for men and 76·7 mm Hg (75·9–77·6) for women. …”

Novel potentials of the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rat ex-vivo heart model by Al-Awar A.

“…Sitg oral treatment of different doses (25, 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg/day), or saline as a Control. Hearts were then isolated and subjected to two different I/R injury protocols: 10 min perfusion, 45 min regional ischemia, and 120 min reperfusion for infarct size (IS) measurement, or: 10 min perfusion, 45 min regional ischemia and 10 min reperfusion for biochemical analysis: nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) and DPP-4 activity, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), Calcium, transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV)-1 and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels, transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC)-1 and e-NOS protein expression. …”

Rhus coriaria induces senescence and autophagic cell death in breast cancer cells through a mechanism involving p38 and ERK1/2 activation by El Hasasna, Hussain

“…Furthermore, we found that while both autophagy inhibitors abolished p38 phosphorylation, only CQ led to significant decrease in pERK1/2. Finally, RCE induced DNA damage and reduced mutant p53, two events that preceded autophagy. …”

A computational approach for investigating the mutational landscape of RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1) and screening inhibitors against the oncogenic E17K mutation... by Thirumal Kumar, D

“…The molecular interaction study also revealed that the co-crystallized AKT1 inhibitor N-(4-(5-(3-acetamidophenyl)-2-(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)-3H-imidazo [4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl)benzyl)-3-fluorobenzamide (12j) exhibited a better interaction with native AKT1 compared with the E17K mutant AKT1 protein, whereas, Akti-1/2 exhibited the opposite effects, i.e., a better interaction with the E17K mutant AKT1 than the native AKT1. …”

The role of type II FB (I):Tl+ defect in laser light generation and color image formation at the low coordination surface sites of AgBr: Ab initio calculations by Shalabi, A.S.

“…All relaxed excited states of the defect containing surfaces were deep below the lower edges of the conduction bands of the ground-state defect-free surfaces indicating that type II FB(I):Tl+ is suitable laser defect. The probability of orientational destruction of the two centers, attributed to the assumed saddle point ion configurations along the 〈1 1 0〉 axis, was found to decrease as the coordination number of the surface ions decreases. …”
