The association between long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) and prostate cancer (PC) remains unclear.

We compared incident PC rates as a function of the Omega-3 Index [O3I, erythrocyte eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids (EPA + DHA)] in 5607 men (40-80 years of age) seen at the Cooper Clinic who were free of PC…[Read more]

Sickle cell trait (SCT) is associated with incident exertional rhabdomyolysis, but its effect on disease progression and severity is poorly understood. Of 377 exertional rhabdomyolysis cases diagnosed between 2009 and 2018 in the active component of the U.S. Air Force, 200 had records available for chart review, and 185 of these had known SCT…[Read more]

It was also identified that MAPK1 was a target gene of miR‑186‑5p, and was negatively regulated by miR‑186‑5p. miR‑186 inhibitor and MAPK1‑small interfering RNA (siRNA) were transfected into CHON‑001 cells to investigate the effect of miR‑186‑5p on CHON‑001 cell injury induced by IL‑1β. The results demonstrated that miR‑186 inhibitor supp…[Read more]
