    Abstract Aim: This study aimed at providing evidence to consider sex differences in interpretations of laboratory parameters of severe COVID-19 patients with diabetes.
    Methods: For 118 diabetic patients, laboratory measurements and clinical outcomes were compared between males and females. This study also compared inflammatory ratios obtained from combinations of six inflammatory markers between the two groups. The risk factors for mortality were identified through logistic regression.
    Results: Males were 54 (45.8%) and females were 64 (54.2%). Males showed a significant increase in ALT (P = 0.003), CRP (P = 0.03), mean platelet volume (MPV)-to-lymphocyte ratio (P = 0.001), and C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (P = 0.044), whereas females had a significant increase in lymphocytes (P < 0.005) and MPV (P = 0.01). In all participants, multivariate analysis illustrated that older age, male sex, increased serum total bilirubin, and decreased PO
    Conclusion: In severe COVID-19 patients with diabetes, there were significant sex differences in many laboratory characteristics with a higher risk of mortality among males.

    Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder. About two-thirds of diabetic patients develop diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), which becomes a challenging issue as it severely threatens the patient's life. Hyperglycemia and the resulting advanced glycated end products (AGE) and their receptor (RAGE)/High Mobility Group Box-1 (HMGB-1) molecular pathway are thought to be key players. Recently, artemisinin (ART) has gained more attention owing to its potent biological activities beyond its antimalarial effect. Herein, we aim to evaluate the effect of ART on DCM and the possible underlying mechanisms. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into: control, ART, type 2 diabetic and type 2 diabetic treated with ART groups. At the end of the research, the ECG was recorded, then the heart weight to body weight (HW/BW) ratio, fasting blood glucose, serum insulin and HOMA-IR were evaluated. Cardiac biomarkers (CK-MB and LDH), oxidative stress markers, IL-1β, AGE, RAGE and HMGB-1 expression were also measured. The heart specimens were stained for H&E as well as Masson's trichrome. DCM induced disturbances in all studied parameters; contrary to this, ART improved these insults. Our study concluded that ART could improve DCM through modulation of the AGE-RAGE/HMGB-1 signaling pathway, with subsequent impacts on oxidative stress, inflammation and fibrosis. ART could therefore be a promising therapy for the management of DCM.

    Abstract Introduction: The molecular basis of the progression of some COVID-19 patients to worse outcomes is not entirely known. Interferons-lambda-1/interleukin-29 (IFN-λ1/IL-29) is a member of the type III IFNs with a strong antiviral activity. Given the scant data on the potential role of IFN-λ1/IL-29 in COVID-19, we investigated the association of IFN-λ1/IL-29 serum level and the IFNL1 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs30461) with severe course of COVID-19.
    Material and methods: This cross-sectional study included 400 COVID-19 patients, in which 262 mild COVID-19 patients and 138 severe COVID-19 patients were recruited and compared. The IFN-λ1/IL-29 serum levels were assessed in both the mild and severe COVID-19 groups. All participants were genotyped for the IFNL1 SNP (rs30461) by allelic discrimination RT-PCR using specific Taqman probes and primers. The associations between IFNL1 variants and risk of severe COVID-19 were examined via the logistic regression analysis.
    Results: The serum IFN-λ1/IL-29 levels showed no statistically significant difference between mild and severe COVID-19 patients (P = 0.993). The genotype and allele frequencies of IFNL1 SNP (rs30461) were significantly different between the mild and severe groups, in which the minor G allele carried a highly significant risk of severe COVID-19 compared with the wild A allele [OR (95 %CI): 2.1 (1.5-2.9), P ≤ 0.001]. In multivariate analysis, the A/G and G/G genotypes of IFNL1 SNP (rs30461) were independent predictors of COVID-19 severity (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: The study concluded that the IFNL1 SNP (rs30461) may constitute an independent risk factor for COVID-19 severity.

    Abstract Aging represents a complex biological process associated with decline in skeletal muscle functions. Aging impairs satellite cells that serve as muscle progenitor cells. Probiotic supplementation may have many beneficial effects via various mechanisms. We examined the possible effects of probiotics in stimulating the proliferation of myogenic stellate cells in aging rats. Twenty-four male albino Sprague-Dawley rats were classified equally into four groups: adult control, old control, adult + probiotics, and old + probiotics. Probiotics (Lactobacillus LB) were administered gavage at a dose of 1 ml (1 × 10

    Abstract Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) and TLR7 genes are involved in the host immune response against viral infections including SARS-COV-2. This study aimed to investigate the association between the TLR3(rs3775290) and TLR7(rs179008) polymorphisms with the prognosis and susceptibility to COVID-19 pneumonia accompanying SARS-COV-2 infection. This case-control study included 236 individuals: 136 COVID-19 pneumonia patients and 100 age and sex-matched controls. Two polymorphisms (TLR3 rs3775290 and TLR7 rs179008) were genotyped by allelic discrimination through TaqMan real-time PCR. This study also investigated predictors of mortality in COVID-19 pneumonia through logistic regression. The mutant 'T/T' genotypes and the 'T' alleles of TLR3(rs3775290) and TLR7(rs179008) polymorphisms were significantly associated with increased risk of COVID-19 pneumonia. This study did not report association between the mutant 'T/T' genotypes of TLR3(rs3775290) and TLR7(rs179008) and the disease outcome. In multivariate analysis, the independent predictors of mortality in COVID-19 pneumonia were male sex, SPO

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed at investigating the clinical significance of CEP78 and WDR62 in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). This study also aimed at finding predictors that help in detecting patients with DTC who have high risk for lateral lymph node metastasis (LNM).
    Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to examine CEP78, and WDR62 mRNA expressions in 40 tissue specimens of DTC, and 40 goiter tissue specimens. Additionally, we reviewed clinical, ultrasound, laboratory, pathological data of patients to analyze the associations between these characteristics and lateral LNM.
    Results: Our results demonstrated that relative CEP78 mRNA levels were significantly decreased in thyroid cancer tissues than goiter tissues (P = 0.002). ROC curve analysis confirmed the diagnostic value of CEP78 mRNA expression, providing an AUC equals to 0.698 (95% confidence intervals (CI), 0.583-0.813; P = 0.002). The relative WDR62 mRNA expression was not statistically different in DTC tissues and goiter tissues (P = 0.686). Furthermore, the DTC patients had been included to examine risk factors for lateral LNM. In multivariate analysis, the significant factors for predicting lateral LNM were low CEP78 mRNA expression (cut off value ≤0.54; P = 0.03; OR = 19.62; 95% CI, 1.3-296.23), central LNM (P = 0.011; OR = 33.6; 95% CI, 2.24-503.6) and calcifications (P = 0.023; OR = 27.187; 95% CI, 1.57-469.5).
    Conclusions: CEP78 can be used as a promising molecular biomarker for differentiation between DTC and goiter tissues, in addition it might serve as a predictor of lateral LNM in DTC along with central LNM and calcifications. Unlike CEP78, WDR62 mRNA expression was not statistically different in DTC and goiter.
