Exploring the Fecal miRNA Profile in FMF Patients and the Role of miR-21-5p in Inflammatory Pathways Associated with FMF Pathogenesis by Chaaban, Ahlam

“…Correlation studies revealed that three anti-inflammatory miRNAs, mir-144-3p, mir-29b- 3p, and mir-374b-5p, were downregulated in M694V homozygous patients compared to those with other genotypes and six miRNAs were higher in patients with greater disease severity. The inhibition of mir-21-5p in LPS-stimulated THP-1 derived macrophages reduced the activation of NF-κB and inflammasome pathways. …”

In vivo testing of novel nitric oxide-releasing nanoparticles for alleviating heart failure using the zebrafish embryo model by Maram, Hasan

“…Our findings demonstrated that the NO-RPs improved the survival rate in the heart failure zebrafish model and reversed heart failure by enhancing blood flow perfusion in Zebrafish embryos, significantly. In addition, RT-PCR results showed that the NO-RPs significantly reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory markers (lL-6&COX-2) in the heart failure zebrafish model. …”

Do near-bedtime usage of smartphones and problematic internet usage really impact sleep? A study based on objectively recorded usage data by Aftab Alam (5158601)

“…</p><h3> Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The multivariate linear regression showed that the increase in PIU (β = −0.231, p < 0.001) and smartphone usage two hours before sleep (β = −0.246, p < 0.001) led to decrease in sleep duration. Regarding sleep distraction, multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that two hours before sleep was a significant and positive predictor of sleep distraction (β = 0.197, p = 0.003), whereas PIU was not significant. …”
