ZFX-mediated upregulation of CEBPA-AS1 contributes to acute myeloid leukemia progression through miR-24-3p/CTBP2 axis.

Emerging reports demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a role in the pathogenesis and metastasis of cancers. However, the biological functions and underlying mechanisms of LncRNA CEBPA-AS1 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain largely elusive. The level of CEBPA-AS1 was examined in AML clinical tissues and cell lines via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).

[Significance of soluble P-selectin in diagnosis of pre-disseminated intravascular coagulation state in children with severe pneumonia].

Objective: Inflammation and coagulation occur concomitantly in severe pneumonia. The term non-overt disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) (pre-DIC state) refers to a state prevalent before the occurrence of overt DIC. It is suggested that initiation of treatment in non-overt DIC leads to better outcome than in overt DIC.
