Phosphofructokinase, platelet (PFKP) is a rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis that plays a decisive role in various human physio-pathological processes. PFKP has been reported to have multiple functions in different cancer types, including lung cancer and breast cancer. However, no systematic pancancer analysis of PFKP has been performed; this type of analysis could elucidate the clinical value of PFKP in terms of diagnosis, prognosis, drug sensitivity, and immunological correlation.

The present study assessed the clinical and microbiological characteristics of NI patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and investigated the clinical impact and risk factors for NI in ICU patients.
Patients And Methods: An observational study was conducted in an adult general ICU.
Objective: To investigate the role of lncRNA SNHG6 (SNHG6) in gastric carcinoma (GC) and its relationship with the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in order to provide more comprehensive and reliable reference for the diagnosis and treatment of GC.
Methods: GC patients admitted to our hospital from May 2017 to August 2018 as well as healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations during the same time period were enrolled in this study. The serum SNHG6 level was quantified.
Objective: Aberrantly expressed lncRNAs have been detected in gastric cancer (GC). LncRNA is involved in numerous types of human malignant tumor. In this project, we demonstrated the relationship between and and tested the function of and hsa-miR-30a-3p in the tumorigenesis of GC.

Review Method Used: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Data Sources: A comprehensive electronic literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), the Cochrane library, China Biology Medicine (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and WeiPu.
This study aimed to develop a specific and sensitive method for the rapid detection of NF-κB activity in pancreatic tissue. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: (1) 16 rats in the acute pancreatitis (AP) group received retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate (STC) into the biliopancreatic duct, and (2) 16 rats in the Control group received saline. NF-κB activation in rat pancreatic acinar cells was assessed by flow cytometry (FCM).
