Increased TG/HDL-C in Female G Allele Carriers of rs1061622 at Gene of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2 with Suicidal Ideation.
Relationships between tumour necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNF-RII), suicidal ideation and levels of serum lipids have not been reported yet. The present study was to explore lipids profiles in Chinese adolescents with different genotypes of TNF-RII rs1061622 and with or without suicidal ideation. ⋯ Different changes of lipids profiles between the subjects with or without suicidal ideation may result from not only the genders, but also their interactions with TNF-RII rs1061622.

The Role of Methylprednisolone on Preventing Disease Progression for Hospitalized Patients with Severe COVID-19.
COVID-19 is a public health emergency that is spreading worldwide and seriously affecting the global economy. Data on the effectiveness and safety of the use of methylprednisolone for patients with severe COVID-19 remain limited. ⋯ Data from the limited sample showed that the early use of low or medium doses of methylprednisolone has a positive effect for patients with severe COVID-19 younger than 65 years old, and excessive immune response and cytokine storm may be some of the reasons for the effectiveness.
