Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Interestingly, lncRNA-H19 acts independently in HCC and influences miR-675 expressions. We aimed to assess the potential utility of tissue lncRNA-H19 versus miR-675 expressions as a non-invasive biomarker for HCC diagnosis and prognosis in Egyptian patients. Ninety-one HCC patients and 91 controls included in this study were investigated for expression of lncRNA-H19 and miR675 using RT-qPCR. Our results showed that the expression of lncRNA-H19 and microRNA-675 were higher in patients than in controls (p < 0.001 for both). Additionally, lncRNA-H19 expression was higher in tumorous than in non-tumorous tissue (p < 0.001). Linear regression revealed that miR-675 expression was a significantly higher positive predictor than lncRNA-H19 for tumor size, pathologic grade, and AFP level; similarly, for cyclin D1 and VEGF protein expression. By using the ROC curve, the sensitivity of miR-675 was higher than lncRNA-H19 for discriminating HCC from controls (95-89%, respectively) and the sensitivity of lncRNA-H19 was higher in tumorous than in non-tumorous tissues (76%). The high expressions of both were associated with low OS (p < 0.001, 0.001, respectively). Oncofetal H19-derived miR-675 expression could be considered a potential noninvasive diagnostic and prognostic biomarker, outstanding the performance of the expression of tissue lncRNA-H19 for HCC.

Abstract
Sepsis Associated Kidney Injury represents a major health concern as it is frequently associated with increased risk of mortality and morbidity. We aimed to evaluate the potential value of TNF-α (-376 G/A) and cystatin C in the diagnosis of S-AKI and prediction of mortality in critically ill patients. This study included 200 critically ill patients and 200 healthy controls. Patients were categorized into 116 with acute septic shock and 84 with sepsis, from which 142 (71%) developed S-AKI. Genotyping of TNF-α (-376 G/A) was performed by RT-PCR and serum CysC was assessed by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay. Our results showed a highly significant difference in the genotype frequencies of TNF-α (-376 G/A) SNP between S-AKI and non-AKI patients (p < 0.001). Additionally, sCysC levels were significantly higher in the S-AKI group (p = 0.011). The combination of both sCysC and TNF-α (-376 G/A) together had a better diagnostic ability for S-AKI than sCysC alone (AUC = 0.610, 0.838, respectively). Both GA and AA genotypes were independent predictors of S-AKI (p= < 0.001, p = 0.002 respectively). Additionally, sCysC was significantly associated with the risk of S-AKI development (Odds Ratio = 1.111). Both genotypes and sCysC were significant predictors of non-survival (p < 0.001), suggesting their potential role in the diagnosis of S-AKI and prediction of mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eczema is also known as atopic dermatitis is well-known for the skin disease globally. In Saudi Arabia, exome sequencing studies have not been documented. The purpose of this study was to scrutinize the disease causing mutations in children affected with eczema with exome sequencing in the Saudi population. METHODS We recruited randomly three sporadic cases of children diagnosed with eczema and simultaneously, three more cases were adopted for control samples. Exome sequencing was carried out by applying a pipeline that captures all the variants of concern related to the samples by using the Ion torrent. RESULTS In this study, we have documented 49 variants, among which 37 variants were confirmed through eczema children and remaining 30 variants through control children. However, from the analysis of the 6 samples, we have identified rs10192157 (1646C>T; Thr549Ile), rs2899642 (27C>G; Asn9Lys), chr1:152127950 (1625G>A; Gly542Asp) and chr1:152128041 (1534C>G; Gly512Arg) variants which are rarely linked to the disease eczema. In the rs10192157, we have documented these mutations in all three eczema children and one in the control; the rs2899642 mutation appeared in only a couple of eczema children, whereas the mutation in the chr1:152127950 regions appeared in only one eczema patient. However, the chr1:152128041 mutations appeared in only one case of eczema and also in two control children. CONCLUSION Our study revealed four mutations which had not previously been connected with eczema within the database. However, the rs10192157 and rs2899642 mutations were documented with asthma disease. The remaining mutations such as chr1:152127950 and chr1:152128041 have not been reported anywhere else. This study recommends screening these 4 mutations in eczema cases and their relevant controls to confirm the prevalence in the Saudi population. It is recommended that future studies examine the 4 mutations in detail.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Leptin levels are reported to be increased with excessive body fat and is a potential determinant of obesity and its complications. Our Objective is to evaluate the relationship between leptin levels and BMI, waist circumference and metabolic syndrome components in normal and obese females classified according to their BMI. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 136 female subjects aged between 20 and 60 years were recruited for the current study. Anthropometric measures included body mass index and waist circumference. The blood samples were used for estimation of plasma fasting blood glucose and serum was used for estimation of triglycerides, total cholesterol, low and high density lipoproteins, and total leptin. RESULTS Correlation between glucose and lipids profile with waist circumference among the whole study group (obese and non-obese) is reflecting that a strong positive correlation between BMI and blood glucose, serum TGs, cholesterol and LDL, a negative correlation was reported between BMI and serum HDL. Mean of leptin concentrations in two groups were found to be 5.77 ng/ml (±1.00) in non-obese and 28.89 ng/ml (±4.91) in the obese with metabolic syndrome. Leptin had a positive correlations with triglycerides (r = 0.84, p < 0.001), total cholesterol (r = 0.77, p < 0.001), LDL (r = 0.83, p < 0.001), waist circumference (r = 0.86, p < 0.001) and BMI (r = 0.72, p < 0.001) in the test group. a negative correlation was reported between BMI and serum HDL (r = -0.48, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Leptin levels were high in Saudi women with high BMI and waist circumference. There was a significant correlation between leptin levels and Obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High serum total testosterone is associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). This study aimed to identify possible alterations in total testosterone and their relationship with plasma glucose, blood pressure, and serum lipid profile. METHODS One hundred forty-two female subjects were selected to participate in this study, and they were recruited by consultant physicians from the Clinic and Medical Out-Patient, King Abdulaziz Hospital, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The anthropometric characteristics were obtained from questionnaires by using standard methods. Blood samples were obtained for the determination of glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein by using enzymatic methods. Total testosterone was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of testosterone in human serum. RESULTS Significantly higher concentrations of total testosterone, low-density lipoprotein, and glucose, but lower concentrations of high-density lipoprotein, were observed in subjects with MS compared with women without MS (P<0.05). CONCLUSION This study suggests that high levels of total testosterone and disturbance in lipid profile were associated with MS in Saudi women.
