Objective: To explore the value of has-microRNA-155 (miR-155) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) in prognostic evaluation of elderly patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (PITP).
Methods: One hundred and thirty elderly PITP patients and 60 healthy volunteers in our hospital were selected. The relative expression level of miR-155 in PBMNC was detected by RT-PCR. Unconditional logistic multivariate regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between miR-155 expression and prognosis of PITP patients, and Kaplan-Meier was further used to analyze the relationship between miR-155 and PITP recurrence.
Results: The relative expression level of miR-155 in PBMNC of elderly PITP patients was significantly higher than that in healthy volunteers, and increased significantly with the severity of the disease (P<0.05). The overall effective rate of elderly PITP patients with miR-155 low-expression was significantly higher than that in the patients with miR-155 high-expression (96.92% vs 72.31%) by after treatment with glucocorticoid. Multivariate analysis showed that miR-155 was an independent risk factor for PITP patients. Elderly patients with high expression of miR-155 showed a higher risk of recurrence.
Conclusion: miR-155 in PBMNC has a high accuracy for PITP diagnosis, and the elderly patients with high level of miR-155 show a poor prognosis and a higher risk of recurrence.

Background: Immune thrombocytopenia during pregnancy (PITP) is the most common cause of platelet reduction in early and mid-pregnancy. However, the pathogenesis of PITP is still unclear.
Objectives: To determine the characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in PITP patients and to explore the associations between metabolites, the gut microbiota, and BM-MSCs in PITP.

Objectives: To investigate whether (cluster of differentiation) CD40-1C>T (rs1883832) contributes to predisposition and treatment response of primary immune thrombocytopenia (pITP) in children.
Methods: A case-control study that included 100 children with newly diagnosed pITP and 50 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. CD40 rs1883832 was genotyped using TaqMan allele discrimination real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Background: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and Evans syndrome (ES) are manifestations of immune dysregulation. Genetic variants in immune-related genes have been identified in patients with ITP and especially ES. We aimed to explore familial autoimmunity in patients with ITP and ES to understand possible contributions to chronicity.

Thrombopoietin (TPO) is the critical regulator of platelet production. However, the role of TPO in pediatric patients with thrombocytopenic disorders has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we attempted to investigate serum TPO levels in patients with acquired aplastic anemia (aAA) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).

Objective: Primary immune thrombocytopenia (pITP) is an acquired autoimmune disorder related to the increased destruction and/or impaired production of platelets. Its diagnosis and management are challenging and require expertise and the interpretation of international consensus reports and guidelines with national variations in availability. We aimed to assess the agreement of hematologists in Türkiye on certain aspects of both first-line and second-line management of patients with pITP.
