High Expression of Mannose-Binding Lectin and the Risk of Vascular Complications of Diabetes: Evidence from a Meta-Analysis

Abstract

Vascular inflammation associated with mannose-binding lectin (MBL) may be implicated in the pathogenesis of vascular complications in diabetes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association of MBL expression with vascular complications in diabetes. Data from published case-control studies on MBL expression and vascular complications of diabetes were collected up to September 30, 2014. Medline, Embase, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched using the key words "MBL or mannose-binding lectin or mannan-binding lectin," "diabetes or diabetic," and "vascular complication, vascular disease or angiopathy" to identify the articles published in English or Chinese. The combined odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the cumulative rate of vascular complications in the cases of high-expression MBL versus that in cases of low-expression MBL were estimated using a fixed-effects model and a random-effects model. In total, 2,714 cases from 12 articles including 2,256 cases with high-expression MBL (≥ 400 μg/L) and 458 cases with low-expression MBL (< 400 μg/L) were reviewed. The cumulative vascular complication rates were 52.9% (1,194/2,256) in the cases with high expression and 38.4% (176/...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
