Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a member of the ALDH gene superfamily. Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are responsible for the metabolism of aldehydes (exogenous and endogenous) through NAD(P)+-dependent oxidation to their corresponding carboxylic acids or CoA esters. Different biological functions have been attributed to the different ALDH...
Tumours derived from Langerhans cells (LCs) are divided into two main subgroups, according to the degree of cytological atypia and clinical aggressiveness: LC histiocytosis (LCH) and LC sarcoma. Both subgroups maintain the phenotypic profile and ultrastructural features of LCs. LCH is a clonal neoplastic proliferation of Langerhans-type cells that ...
Ewing sarcoma is a bone or soft tissue sarcoma most commonly diagnosed in adolescents and young adults. It is one of the pediatric small, round, blue cell tumors and a fusion gene-driven cancer.
BACKGROUND:Uncertainty remains about the optimal monotherapy for hypertension, with current guidelines recommending any primary agent among the first-line drug classes thiazide or thiazide-like diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, and non-dihydropyridine calciu...
Objective To determine the relation between age and troponin level and its prognostic implication. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Five cardiovascular centres in the UK National Institute for Health Research Health Informatics Collaborative (UK-NIHR HIC). Participants 257948 consecutive patients undergoing troponin testing for any clinic...
AIMS:There is an increasing demand for hip arthroplasty in China. We aimed to describe trends in in-hospital mortality after this procedure in China and to examine the potential risk factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS:We included 210 450 patients undergoing primary hip arthroplasty registered in the Hospital Quality Monitoring System in China between 20...
SLC45A2 gene, having a chromosomal location 5p13.2, encodes a membrane associated transporter protein (MATP). MATP is a transmembrane protein. It is present in the melanosomal membrane in the melanocytes. It maintains the osmotic potential by regulating the pH of the melanosomal lumen. Defects in the SLC45A2 gene causes oculocutaneous albinism type...
