Th17/Treg cell expression in children with primary nephritic syndrome and the effects of ox-LDL on Th17/Treg cells

Y. Y. Li, Wei, S. G., Zhao, X., Jia, Y. Z., Zhang, Y. F., Sun, S. Z., Li, Y. Y., Wei, S. G., Zhao, X., Jia, Y. Z., Zhang, Y. F., and Sun, S. Z., Th17/Treg cell expression in children with primary nephritic syndrome and the effects of ox-LDL on Th17/Treg cells, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

To investigate the role of T-helper cells/Treg (Th17/Treg) and morbidity factors related to primary nephritic syndrome (PNS) in children, as well as the influence of ox-low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) on Th17/Treg expression in children with PNS. To clarify the pathogenesis of PNS in children, 50 children with PNS treated in our hospital were enrolled in the study group. Additionally, 20 healthy children who came to our hospital for physical examination during the same period were enrolled in the control group.

Identification of molecular markers in patients with hypertensive heart disease accompanied with coronary artery disease

H. Pang, Han, B., Li, Z. Y., and Fu, Q., Identification of molecular markers in patients with hypertensive heart disease accompanied with coronary artery disease, vol. 14, pp. 93-100, 2015.

We investigated the plasma hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), and apelin levels in patients with hypertensive heart disease (HHD) plus coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients with hypertension hospitalized in Xuzhou Central Hospital were categorized into the HHD group and the HHD plus CAD group; 40 healthy subjects served as the control group. hs-CRP expression was determined with chemiluminescence. The expression of ox-LDL and apelin was analyzed with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Association among oxidized LDL levels, MnSOD, apolipoprotein E polymorphisms, and cardiovascular risk factors in a south Brazilian region population

M. G. V. Gottlieb, Schwanke, C. H. A., Santos, A. F. R., Jobim, P. F., da Cruz, I. B. M., and Müssel, D. P., Association among oxidized LDL levels, MnSOD, apolipoprotein E polymorphisms, and cardiovascular risk factors in a south Brazilian region population, vol. 4, pp. 691-703, 2005.

Oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) is involved in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Many factors can affect the LDL oxidation such as oxidative stress. The present study tested whether ox-LDL levels would be associated with apolipoprotein E (APOE), manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) Ala16Val polymorphisms, and classic cardiovascular risk factors.
