Seasonal Variations in Cerebral Palsy Births
Previous studies of cerebral palsy (CP) suggest that it seasonal variations in the incidence of CP. The purpose of this paper was to compare seasonal variations in the incidence of cerebral palsy (CP) in Podlaskie Province, Poland, between 1990 –1999 (study 2005) and 2000–2014 (study 2017) in a retrospective case-controlled study.

Resistive Part of Impedance as a Possible Indicator of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
In this work, the multi-frequency impedance both in normal and liver cancer tissues was studied. This was to investigate the feasibility to detect liver cancer by a low cost, easy to use, and a relatively non-invasive electrical impedance measure technique, and thus potentially improving liver cancer diagnosis.

rs3212227 SNP in the IL12B Gene Prevents Delayed Graft Function after Kidney Transplantation
Transplantation is the best treatment option for end stage kidney disease. The most common early complications in post-transplant period are acute rejection (AR) of the graft and delayed graft function (DGF). The underlying mechanisms in these events are heterogeneous and at least in part involve cytokine genes which regulate immune response to allograft. We have investigated whether functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the genes encoding IFN- γ (IFNG), TNF (TNFA), IL-10 (IL10) and p40 subunit of IL-12/IL-23 (IL12B) could predict risk of AR and DGF in kidney allograft recipients.

FOXO3a Reverses the Cisplatin Resistance in Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is one of the most serious disease in female reproductive system. Platinum is the first-line drug for the treatment of ovarian cancer, while the resistance of platinum drug in clinical hindered the relief ovarian cancer. Our previous study found that decreased FOXO3a might be a poor prognosis in human ovarian cancer. In this research, we study whether FOXO3a was involved in the mechanism of platinum drug resistance.

ACE, APOA5, and MTP Gene Polymorphisms Analysis in Relation to Triglyceride and Insulin Levels in Pediatric Patients
Obesity is a complex, chronic, and multifactorial disease that has become a major, and worldwide, public health problem contributing to an increased number of pathologies, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, and metabolic syndrome, thus suggesting a commolon origin. A diet high in sugar and fats coupled with a sedentary lifestyle has a major role in the development of obesity. However, the genetic background has also been associated with body fat accumulation. The aim of this study was to assess the effect ofACE-rs4646994, APOA5-rs662799, and MTP-rs1800591 gene polymorphisms on clinical and b...

Influence of SNPs in Genes that Modulate Lung Disease Severity in a Group of Mexican Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
The variation in cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease not always is explained by the CFTR genotype, so it has become apparent that modifier genes must play a considerable role in the phenotypic heterogeneity of CF, so we investigated the association of allelic variants in modifier genes that modulate the severity of lung function in a group of Mexican patients diagnosed with CF.

Vitamin A and Retinoic Acid Exhibit Protective Effects on Necrotizing Enterocolitis by Regulating Intestinal Flora and Enhancing the Intestinal  Epithelial Barrier
Exaggerated inflammation that characterizes necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is caused by the invasion of pathogens through an immature intestinal barrier. Vitamin A (VA) and retinoic acid (RA) play important roles in the growth of epithelial tissue and in modulating immune function. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Serum Paraoxonase-1 Concentration as a Potential Predictor of Urinary Bladder Cancer Recurrence. A Five Year Follow-Up Study
This study provides preliminary information on the usefulness of measuring serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) concentration and activity (and other inflammatory markers) to predict tumor recurrence in patients with urinary bladder cancer. We studied a total of 39 hospitalized patients in whom the diagnosis of urinary bladder cancer was confirmed by transurethral resection. After five years of follow-up, 29 patients presented with tumor recurrence. As control subjects, we also studied 61 healthy subjects and a further 132 hospitalized patients who had a urinary catheter-related infection due to causes other than cancer. (Source: Ar...
