CXCL10 and its related key genes as potential biomarkers for psoriasis: Evidence from bioinformatics and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

Although several studies have attempted to investigate the etiology of and mechanism underlying psoriasis, the precise molecular mechanism remains unclear. Our study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism underlying psoriasis based on bioinformatics.GSE30999, GSE34248, GSE41662, and GSE50790 datasets were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database.

LINC00937 suppresses keloid fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition by targeting the miR-28-5p/MC1R axis.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are the most recently discovered class of noncoding RNAs. LncRNAs play a crucial role in multiple disorders. However, the role and mechanism of action of lncRNAs in keloids remain unclear.

Prognostic significance of pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in melanoma patients: A meta-analysis.

Introduction: Recently, the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been widely evaluated in many cancers. Here we assessed the prognostic value of pretreatment NLR in melanoma.

Methods: A range of online databases was systematically searched up to March,2018 for identify available studies which assessed the prognostic significance of NLR.

[The role of toll like receptor-4 signal pathways activation in ischemia-reperfusion injury of island skin flap].

Objective: To determine the role of toll like receptor-4 signal pathways activation in ischemia-reperfusion injury of island skin flap.

Methods: A totol of 50 adult male SD rats were randomized into 3 groups: sham-operated group (n=10), ischemia/reperfusion group (n=20) and TLR4 inhibitor-eritoran tetrasodium (E5564)-treated group (n=20). The inguinal island skin flaps models were set up.
