RESUMEN
Helicobacter pylori is a kind of Gram-negative bacteria that parasitizes on human gastric mucosa. Helicobacter pylori infection is very common in human beings, which often causes gastrointestinal diseases, including chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer. MicroRNAs are a group of endogenous non-coding single stranded RNAs, which play an important role in cell proliferation, differentiation, autophagy, apoptosis and inflammation. In recent years, relevant studies have found that the expression of microRNA is changed after Helicobacter pylori infection, and then regulate the biological process of host cells. This paper reviews the regulation role of microRNAs on cell biological behavior through different signal pathways after Helicobacter pylori infection.

OBJECTIVES: This study developed a new model for risk assessment of immuno-glycolysis-related genes for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients to predict prognosis and immunotherapy efficacy. METHODS: LUAD samples and data obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases are used as training and test columns, respectively. Twenty-two (22) immuno-glycolysis-related genes were screened, the patients diagnosed with LUAD were divided into two molecular subtypes by consensus clustering of these genes. The initial prognosis model was developed using the multiple regression analysis method and Receiver Operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to verify its predictive potential. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showed the immune activities and pathways in different risk populations, we calculated immune checkpoints, immune escape, immune phenomena (IPS), and tumor mutation burden (TMB) based on TCGA datasets. Finally, the relationship between the model and drug sensitivity was analyzed. RESULTS: Fifteen (15) key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with prognostic value were screened and a new prognostic model was constructed. Four hundred and forty-three (443) samples were grouped into two different risk cohorts based on median model risk values. It was observed that survival rates in high-risk groups were significantly low. ROC curves were used to evaluate the model's accuracy in determining the survival time and clinical outcome of LUAD patients. Cox analysis of various clinical factors proved that the risk score has great potential as an independent prognostic factor. The results of immunological analysis can reveal the immune infiltration and the activity of related functions in different pathways in the two risk groups, and immunotherapy was more effective in low-risk patients. Most chemotherapeutic agents are more sensitive to low-risk patients, making them more likely to benefit. CONCLUSION: A novel prognostic model for LUAD patients was established based on IGRG, which could more accurately predict the prognosis and an effective immunotherapy approach for patients.

Recent publications have investigated the potential role of the protein level of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in the susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). However, no unanimous conclusion was obtained. Therefore, we carried out a meta-analysis to explore the association between MMP-1 expression and these two clinical disorders. After database searching and screening, we enrolled a total of eighteen articles for the pooled analysis. We observed a significant association between RA cases and controls in the whole population [SMD (standard mean difference)=1.01, P=0.017]. There were similar positive results in the subgroup analysis of "population-based control" (SMD=1.50, P=0.032) and "synovial fluid" (SMD=1.32, P=0.049). In addition, we observed an increased risk in OA cases, compared with controls, in the overall analysis (SMD=0.47, P=0.004) and subsequent subgroup analysis of "knee OA" (SMD=0.86, P<0.001), "Asian/China" (SMD=0.76, P=0.003), "cartilage-Asian/China" (SMD=1.21, P<0.001), and "synovial fluid-Asian/China" (SMD=0.73, P=0.004). In summary, a high protein level of MMP-1 in synovial fluid may be associated with the susceptibility to RA, and the high MMP-1 level in the cartilage tissue or synovial fluid may be related to the pathogenesis of knee OA in the Chinese population. This should be confirmed by larger sample sizes.
