Background: The ability of most biomarkers, such as N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), to predict prognosis in heart failure can be affected by the state of renal function; therefore, there is the need for a biomarker that can predict prognosis accurately without the influence of renal function. The prognostic value of cysteine-rich protein 61 (CYR61/CCN1) in acute heart failure (AHF) patients has been proven.
Methods: A total of 248 patients hospitalized with AHF were recruited in this study, and serum CCN1 levels, NT-proBNP levels, and other necessary data of patients were collected upon admission. The correlation of serum CCN1 with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was investigated, and the logistic regression model was used to investigate the prognostic value of serum CCN1 for 3-month mortality.
Results: Fifty-four of 248 patients died (21.8%) during a 3-month follow-up. Serum CCN1 had no significant correlation with eGFR (rho = -0.088, p = 0.167). In the overall population and patients without chronic kidney disease, results showed that both serum CCN1 and NT-proBNP were significantly associated with 3-month mortality. In patients with chronic kidney disease, serum CCN1 was significantly associated with 3-month mortality in logistic regression analysis (odds ratio = 2.40, p = 0.002) while NT-proBNP was not. Further in tertile group comparison, in patients with chronic kidney disease, higher tertile levels of serum CCN1 had a significantly higher risk of 3-month mortality compared to the lower tertile ones (odds ratio = 4.17, p = 0.013), but that of NT-proBNP did not.
Conclusion: Serum CCN1 level is not associated with eGFR, and it maintains the prognostic value in AHF patients with chronic kidney disease. CCN1 could be a potential novel prognostic biomarker in AHF patients with chronic kidney disease.

Objective: To determine the serum levels of mRNA and CCN1 in patients with acute leukemia (AL), and to analyze their relationship with the clinical efficacy and prognosis of the patients.
Methods: 103 AL patients admitted to our hospital from February 2015 to January 2019 were included as the study subjects. Additionally, 100 healthy subjects who underwent physical examinations during the same period were included as the control group.

The global spread of SARS-CoV-2 has increased infections among pregnant women. This study aimed to explore placental pathology alterations and angiogenic factor levels in term pregnant women after SARS-CoV-2 infection in a retrospective single-center study. Additionally, we investigated the role and underlying mechanism of the vascular inflammation-promoting, cysteine-rich protein 61 (CYR61/CCN1) in this context.

Background: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) could aggravate cerebral ischemia injury. Dexmedetomidine (Dex) has been believed to play a protective role in cerebral ischemia injury-induced BBB injury.
Methods: Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) models were established to simulate cerebral ischemia injury.

To investigate the role of serum CYR61 as a biomarker for the diagnosis of breast cancer and to analyze the association between serum CYR61 levels and the clinicopathological features in breast cancer patients. Serum CYR61 was measured in breast cancer patients and healthy controls by ELISA. The serum levels of CYR61 in breast cancer patients were higher than those in healthy controls.
