LNCRNA 1197 Promotes the Progression of Fibroblast-Like Synovial Cells by Targeting miR-206 in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients: A Pilot Study.

Objective: We studied the role of LNCRNA 1197 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its underlying mechanism.

Methods: We detected expression of LNCRNA 1197 in RA fibroblast-like synovial cells (RA-FLS) by RT-qPCR. Functional experiments were conducted to assess the impact of LNCRNA on cells as demonstrated by a Transwell assay.

Circulating D-Dimers Increase the Risk of Mortality and Venous Thromboembolism in Patients With Lung Cancer: A Systematic Analysis Combined With External Validation.

Background: D-dimer is a fibrin-degrading substance that is soluble and whose degradation is produced by plasma protein-mediated degradation of cross-linked fibrin. Previous investigations have shown a link between D-dimer and the mortality in lung cancer patients. However, different investigations varied whether D-dimer could predict prognosis in these patients.
