Correlation between adiponectin and hemorrhagic shock in mice

X. Gong, Liu, Y., Yao, S., Zheng, J. F., Wan, F., Xiang, X. D., Chai, X. P., Gong, X., Liu, Y., Yao, S., Zheng, J. F., Wan, F., Xiang, X. D., and Chai, X. P., Correlation between adiponectin and hemorrhagic shock in mice, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between adiponectin (ADPN) and hemorrhagic shock (HS) and the recovery after HS. This is significant for further understanding of the pathophysiological processes of HS and the development of better treatments. In total, 72 male C57BL/6 mice were assigned randomly to three groups: control, HS, and recovery (N = 24). The HS mouse model was constructed by hemorrhage of the carotid artery and recovery was achieved by tail vein injection of Ringer’s solution.

Serum miR-200c expression level as a prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer

H. - P. Zhang, Sun, F. - B., and Li, S. - J., Serum miR-200c expression level as a prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer, vol. 14, pp. 15913-15920, 2015.

The aim of the present study was to analyze the serum expression level of microRNA-200c (miR-200c) in gastric cancer (GC) patients and to determine the relationship between this expression and clinicopathological features and survival. Serum samples were obtained from 98 patients with GC between February 2008 and January 2013. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to assess miR-200c expression levels in serum samples. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences between survival curves were compared by the log rank test.

Circulating miR-125b as a biomarker of Ewing's sarcoma in Chinese children

C. L. Nie, Ren, W. H., Ma, Y., Xi, J. S., and Han, B., Circulating miR-125b as a biomarker of Ewing's sarcoma in Chinese children, vol. 14, pp. 19049-19056, 2015.

Previous studies indicated that microRNA-125b (miR-125b) has an important role in the progression of Ewing’s sarcoma (ES). The purpose of the current study was to examine expression changes of miR-125b in the serum of ES patients and evaluate if the expression level of miR-125b could serve as a new biomarker for ES. This study was performed on patients who underwent surgical resection at our hospital between 2005 and 2013 after an initial diagnosis of ES.
