Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the association between the IL7R T244I polymorphism (rs6897932) and susceptibility of multiple sclerosis (MS). A comprehensive literature search for relevant studies was conducted on Google scholar, PubMed, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM). This meta-analysis was performed using the STATA 11.0 software and the pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (CI) was calculated. Seventeen case–control studies were included in this meta-analysis. In total, 17 articles provided data for 15,270 cases and 17,971 controls. The results showed significant association between the IL7R T244I polymorphism and susceptibility to MS (OR = 1.125, 95 % CI: 1.016–1.245, p = 0.024 for C vs. T; OR = 1.176, 95 % CI: 1.078–1.282, p < 0.001 for CC + CT vs. TT; OR = 1.243, 95 % CI: 1.088–1.421, p = 0.001 for CC vs. TT). Stratified analysis of ethnicities also showed significant association in Europeans. However, no association was found in Asians. This study suggested that the IL7R C allele was associated with an increased risk of MS and larger-scale studies of populations are needed to explore the roles played by the IL7R T244I polymorphism during the pathogenesis of MS.

Schützt Olivenöl vor dem Tod durch Demenz?

10.05.2024 Morbus Alzheimer Nachrichten

Konsumieren Menschen täglich 7 Gramm Olivenöl, ist ihr Risiko, an einer Demenz zu sterben, um mehr als ein Vierten reduziert – und dies weitgehend unabhängig von ihrer sonstigen Ernährung. Dafür sprechen Auswertungen zweier großer US-Studien.

Bluttest erkennt Parkinson schon zehn Jahre vor der Diagnose

10.05.2024 Parkinson-Krankheit Nachrichten

Ein Bluttest kann abnorm aggregiertes Alpha-Synuclein bei einigen Menschen schon zehn Jahre vor Beginn der motorischen Parkinsonsymptome nachweisen. Mit einem solchen Test lassen sich möglicherweise Prodromalstadien erfassen und die Betroffenen früher behandeln.

Wartezeit nicht kürzer, aber Arbeit flexibler

Psychotherapie Medizin aktuell

Fünf Jahren nach der Neugestaltung der Psychotherapie-Richtlinie wurden jetzt die Effekte der vorgenommenen Änderungen ausgewertet. Das Hauptziel der Novellierung war eine kürzere Wartezeit auf Therapieplätze. Dieses Ziel wurde nicht erreicht, es gab jedoch positive Auswirkungen auf andere Bereiche.
