Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease targeting salivary and lacrimal glands. C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) expression is upregulated in lip salivary glands (LSGs) of primary SS (pSS) patients, and CXCL10 involved in SS pathogenesis via immune-cell accumulation. Moreover, interferon (IFN)-γ enhances CXCL10 production v…[Read more]

Inmates also completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ).

Data were available for 141 inmates. Forty-five prisoners (31.9%) had psychotic symptoms. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a history of previous incarceration (aOR=2.98, p=0.034), opioid abuse (aOR=5.02, p=0.008), suicide attempts (aOR=5.55, p<0.001), and…[Read more]

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) may act as biomarkers of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the relationship between expression characteristics of circRNAs and coronary atherosclerosis has not been fully explored. The aim of this study was to determine and characterize the circRNAs from human coronary artery.

The coronary artery segments…[Read more]
