Clinical Value of Platelets and Coagulation Parameters in Predicting the Severity of Delta Variant SARS-CoV-2.

Introduction: The present study aimed to analyze the clinical features and laboratory markers of patients with Delta variant SARS-CoV-2 and explore the role of platelet in predicting the severity of Delta.

Methods: This retrospective, observational study was conducted on 863 patients laboratory-confirmed Delta variant SARS-CoV-2. These cases were sub-classified based on disease severity into mild (n = 304), moderate (n = 537), and severe (n = 22).

Circ-CBFB exacerbates hypoxia/reoxygenation-triggered cardiomyocyte injury via regulating miR-495-3p in a VDAC1-dependent manner.

A large body of literature has identified that circular RNAs play critical roles in regulating the occurrence and development of cardiovascular disease. In the present study, we intended to provide new ideas and perspectives on the functional role of circ-CBFB in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-injured cardiomyocytes. We observed that circ-CBFB expression was enhanced which was accompanied by a miR-495-3p reduction in response to H/R exposure.
