[PROSI Mutation With Clinical Heterogeneity in Protein S Deficiency:Report of One Case].

Reduced protein S activity is one of the high-risk factors for venous thromboembolism.Hereditary protein S deficiency is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the PROS1 gene.We reported a female patient with a mutation of c.

Detection of microRNA-200b may predict the inhibitory effect of gefitinib on non-small cell lung cancer and its potential mechanism.

The present study aimed to investigate the association and underlying mechanisms between microRNA-200b level and the inhibitory effect of gefitinib on non-small cell lung cancer. In total, 100 patients (43 males and 57 females; median age, 63 years) with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were selected. All patients were administered with gefitinib orally (250 mg/day) and the effect of gefitinib was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors guidelines.
