Assessment of Matrix Metalloproteinases a Prognostic Indicator in Advanced Fibrotic Lung Disease: A Systematic Review by Mehvish Aqil, Saif Ur Rahman, Muhammad Zeeshan Aslam, Mostafa Ahmed Abdellah Ahmed, Ammar Ahmed, Sidra Javaid, Ehsan Ul Haq

“…The MMP-7 was consistently elevated in 73.3% (n=11) of the studies and correlated with disease severity, lung function decline, and progression. In 46.7% (7) of studies, MMP-9 was associated with imaging severity and functional impairments, and in 26.7% (4) of studies, MMP-7 was found as the strongest biomarker, and the correlation coefficient calculated was from (r = 0.65 to 0.80), for MMP-9 it was (r = 0.4 to 0.6) and for MMP-1 (r = 0.3 to 0.45). …”

Signaling pathways of β-cell death in type 2 diabetes mellitus: the role of innate immunity by Zilya. A. Kalmykovа, Irina V. Kononenko, Olga M. Smirnova, Marina Vladimirovna Shestakova

“…The mechanisms of action of most sugar-lowering drugs are associated with increased secretion of insulin, so it is obvious that the effectiveness of the therapy will also largely depend on the functional state of β-cells. All this explains the great interest in studying the mechanisms of damage of β-cells in T2DM and factors that can accelerate this process, leading to their death and the development of a relative and then absolute insulin deficiency. …”

Comparison of Bending Fatigue of NiTi and CuAlMn Shape Memory Alloy Bars by Haoyu Huang, Yuan-Zhi Zhu, Wen-Shao Chang

“…The stress-strain curve, damping ratio, and secant stiffness were analysed for material characterisation, and the evolution of these parameters was studied to assess functional fatigue. The fatigue life is extended dramatically when the strain is below 1%, and the structural fatigue life of CuAlMn is shown to be better than that of NiTi and to depend on the loading rate. …”
