BACKGROUND
In a population-based study, we examined the relationship between the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) among young women and plasma total homocysteine (tHCY), folate, vitamin B12, and a common cytosine (C) to thymine (T) polymorphism in the gene for 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate
Recently a point mutation of guanine to thymine at nucleotide position 1917 in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene has been reported to be associated with coronary artery spasm. In addition, a significant association of the 4a/b polymorphism in intron 4 of the eNOS gene with coronary
Potential-resolved electrochemiluminescence (PRECL)-based strategies utilizing novel nanoluminophores have become a re-search hotspot in analytical sciences in virtue of the superior versatility, specificity and sensitivity they offer to bioassays. In this work, a novel PRECL nanoluminophore
Background
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a single-gene disorder caused by mutations in the
NOTCH3 gene, located on chromosome 19p13.
NOTCH3 encodes a transmembrane receptor which plays a role
BACKGROUND
T-box expressed in T cells (TBET) and guanine adenine thymine adenine sequence-binding protein 3 (GATA3) play important roles in the differentiation of Th1 and Th2 subsets, which contributes to the progression of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to investigate the
A novel variant of antithrombin III (AT III) that lacks affinity for heparin was found in a 33-year-old man who suffered from recurrent cerebral infarction. The propositus had a history of recurrent ischemic attacks from the age of 28. He was obese and had a smoking habit (30 to 40 cigarettes/day),
OBJECTIVE
This study was undertaken to investigate whether the cytosine-to-thymine substitution at nucleotide 677 (C677T) in the 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene is a risk factor for placental vasculopathy (abruptio placentae or placental infarction with fetal growth
BACKGROUND
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genes appear to be a genetic risk factor for
The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase system is a major source of superoxide anion (.O2-) production in the human vasculature and may therefore influence lipid peroxidation and severity of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to
BACKGROUND
A positive association was previously reported between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism and several cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, left ventricular hypertrophy, and restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Plasma ACE
BACKGROUND
Coronary endothelial dysfunction plays an important pathogenetic role in patients with slow coronary flow (SCF). No data exist regarding the possible contribution of the Glu298Asp polymorphism genotype of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene to human SCF in the
Gastrodia elata Blume (Orchidaceae, GEB) is a medicinal plant that has been widely used in the treatment of cerebrovascular disease. This study explored the protective effects of GEB against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion using Information-Dependent Acquisition (IDA)-mediated UPLC-Q/TOF-MS-based
Ranged among laminopathies, Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a syndrome that involves premature aging, leading usually to death at the age between 10 to 14 years predominatly due to a myocardial infarction or a stroke. In the lecture I shall overview the importance of molecular cell biology
The coronary arteriosclerotic disease is the most common cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis affects large- and medium-sized arteries leading to severe thrombosis or artery stenosis that could evolve to myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, ischemic injury of kidneys and intestines, and
Progeria is sporadic, very rare, autosomal dominant, deadly childhood disorder. It is one of the progeroid syndromes also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS). Aging is a developmental process that begins with fertilization and ends up with death involving a lot of environmental and
