The understanding of the diagnostic and prognostic value of many biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including cardiac troponins (cTnT and cTnI), is changing significantly with the development of methods for their determination. New highly sensitive immunoassays can detect minimal concentrations of cardiac troponin protein molecules in biological fluids (several ng/L or less), allowing the detection of cTnT and cTnI in all healthy individuals. Along with this, there are opportunities to use cTnT and cTnI both to assess the risk of developing CVD in healthy people, and to identify and monitor many early pathological conditions that pose a risk to the cardiovascular system and the life of patients. These pathological conditions include hypertension (HTN), which is the direct cause leading to coronary heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and other CVD. A number of recent studies reported the possibility of using highly sensitive cTnT and cTnI in the management of HTN patients. In this article, we consider in detail the diagnostic and prognostic value of cardiac troponins in HTN, we also discuss the main possible mechanisms underlying the increase in cTnT and cTnI in human body fluids.

Review question / Objective: Background and aim: Increasing evidence has revealed the valuable diagnostic and prognostic applications of dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) in hepatoblastoma (HB), the most common hepatic malignancy during childhood. However, these results are inconsistent and remain to be elucidated. In the present study, we aimed to systematically compile up-to-date information regarding the clinical value of miRNAs in HB. Methods: Articles concerning the diagnostic and prognostic value of single miRNAs for HB were searched from databases. The sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), positive and negative likelihood ratios (PLR and NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), area under the curve (AUC), and hazard ratios (HRs) were separately pooled to explore the diagnostic and prognostic performance of miRNA. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were further carried out only in the event of heterogeneity. Results: In all, 20 studies, involving 264 HB patients and 206 healthy individuals, met the inclusion criteria in the six included literature articles. For the diagnostic analysis of miRNAs in HB, the pooled SEN and SPE were 0.76 (95% CI: 0.72–0.80) and 0.75 (95% CI: 0.70–0.80), respectively. Moreover, the pooled PLR was 2.79 (95% CI: 2.12–3.66), NLR was 0.34 (95% CI: 0.26–0.45), DOR was 10.24 (95% CI: 6.55–16.00), and AUC was 0.83, indicating that miRNAs had moderate diagnostic value in HB. For the prognostic analysis of miRNAs in HB, the abnormal expressions of miR-21, miR-34a, miR-34b, miR-34c, miR-492, miR-193, miR-222, and miR-224 in patients were confirmed to be associated with a worse prognosis. The pooled HR was 1.74 (95% CI: 1.20–2.29) for overall survival (OS) and 1.74 (95% CI: 1.31–2.18) for event-free survival (EFS), suggesting its potential as a prognostic indicator for HB. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis that examines the diagnostic and prognostic role of dysregulated miRNAs in HB patients. The combined meta-analysis results supported the previous individual finds that miRNAs might provide a new, noninvasive method for the diagnostic and prognostic analyses ofHB.

Abstract Background: The potential correlation between H2AFY (also known as MacroH2A1) and the clinical characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients was analysed through gene expression profiles and clinical data in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and the diagnostic and prognostic value of H2AFY in HCC was discussed. Methods: The gene expression data of HCC and the corresponding clinical characteristics of HCC patients were downloaded from the TCGA database. The differences in H2AFY in normal liver tissues and HCC were analysed. The relationship between H2AFY and clinical characteristics was analysed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test, logistic regression and Kruskal-Wallis test. The Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox regression method were used to analyse the relationship between overall survival and clinical characteristics of the patients. An ROC curve was used to predict the diagnostic value of H2AFY in HCC. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to analyse the pathway enrichment of H2AFY. Result: Compared with normal liver tissues, H2AFY was significantly highly expressed in HCC. H2AFY was positively correlated with the age, clinical stage, G stage (grade) and T stage (tumor stage) of liver cancer patients. Higher H2AFY expression predicted a poor prognosis in HCC patients. Cox regression analysis suggested that H2AFY was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of HCC patients. The ROC curve suggested that H2AFY had certain diagnostic value in HCC. GSEA suggested that H2AFY was correlated with lipid metabolism and a variety of tumour pathways. Conclusion: Our study showed that H2AFY was significantly overexpressed in HCC. H2AFY may be a potential diagnostic and prognostic marker for HCC, and high expression of H2AFY predicts a poor prognosis in patients with HCC.

Diagnostic And Prognostic Value

Ovarian cancer, a gynecological malignancy, is the most common cause of death in older women worldwide. The overall 5-year survival of ovarian cancer patients is only 20% because of late diagnosis, as well as distant metastasis and multidrug resistance. Therefore, predictive and prognostic markers are urgently required for the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer. CD147, an extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer, is overexpressed in ovarian cancers. Current knowledge suggests that CD147 is associated with the survival and progression of ovarian cancer, and is considered as a biomarker of poor outcome. Here, we specifically review the roles of CD147 in ovarian cancer progression and discuss the diagnostic and prognostic value of CD147 in patients with ovarian cancer. CD147 promotes ovarian cancer progression by its involvement in every facet of malignancy, including invasion, metastasis, survival, angiogenesis, and drug resistance. Although it is not fully confirmed, the combination of CD147 with other biomarkers might be of diagnostic value.

Abstract In recent years, many studies on the relationship between the expression of microRNA-126 (miR-126) and the diagnostic and prognostic value of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been made, but the results were still controversial. The aim is to explore the expression of miR-126 and the diagnosis and prognosis value of NSCLC, and to provide relevant evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Literature related to miR-126 and NSCLC were searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang from the inception to February 2020. Stata 15.0 was used for meta-analysis. The diagnostic value data were used to calculate the pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and the prognostic value data were used to calculate the pooled risk ratio (hazard ratio, HR) of overall survival (OS) and its 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Thirteen studies were included, among which five were related to diagnosis containing 439 patients and 463 healthy controls, and eight related to prognosis containing 1102 patients. The results of miR-126 expression and diagnostic value of NSCLC showed that the pooled sensitivity was 0.83 (95% CI: 0.59–0.94), specificity = 0.83 (95% CI: 0.71–0.90), PLR = 4.78 (95% CI: 2.97–7.69), NLR = 0.20 (95% CI: 0.08–0.54), DOR = 23.48 (95% CI: 7.87–70.10), and the area under the summ ary receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC) was 0.89 (95% CI: 0.86–0.91). The results of prognostic value indicated that the expression of miR-126 was related to the OS of NSCLC (HR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.63–0.98). In conclusion, the expression of miR-126 has medium diagnostic value, and it is related to the prognosis of patients with NSCLC, with poor prognosis of miR-126 low expression.

Annotation. Sarcopenia is a typical complication of liver cirrhosis (LC) and is associated with a poor prognosis. The skeletal muscle index is the most studied radiological marker of sarcopenia, but it’s using requires the qualification of a radiologist, specialized software, time reserve. The aim of the study: to investigate the relationship between different radiological markers of skeletal muscle mass, to determine their reference ranges for Ukrainian population and to assess their diagnostic and prognostic value in patients with LC. The study involved 216 healthy people and 147 patients with LC. During 18 months of follow-up 45 patients died from LC complications. Skeletal muscles were assessed by computed tomography. Skeletal muscle index (SMI), psoas muscle index (PMI), and transverse psoas muscle thickness (TPMT) at L3 were determined. Statistical data processing was performed in SPSS22. Diagnostic and prognostic value of SMI, PMI, TPMT were studied in ROC analysis. It was found that in Ukrainian population the reference ranges of SMI are >52.2 / 39.3 cm2/m2, PMI>6. 44 / 3.49 cm2/m2, TPMT>11.1 / 7.42 mm/m, in men / women, respectively. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 54.9% and 86.3% of LC class B and C patients. PMI and TPMT had a high diagnostic value in sarcopenia detection (SMI≤52.2 and ≤39.3 cm2/m2) in male and female LC patients (AUC PMI 0.899 and 0.955, p˂0.001, AUC TPMT 0.884 and 0.942, p˂0.001). SMI, PMI and TPMT predicted one-and-a-half-year mortality in male and female LC patients (AUC SMI 0.815 and 0.786, p<0.001; AUC PMI 0.745 and 0.804, p<0.001; AUC TPMT 0.752 and 0.871, p<0.001). The optimal cut-off values for predicting death in male and female are: SMI≤49.1 and ≤38.4 cm2/m2; PMI≤5.99 and ≤3.30 cm2/m2; TPMT≤11.0 and ≤6.70 mm/m. Thus, routine assessment of PMI and TPMT in LC can identify patients with sarcopenia and high risk of complications.

Background: Long noncoding RNAs have been demonstrated to play important roles in different kinds of human malignancy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1232 (LINC01232) in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) and further explore the clinical significance of the potential miRNAs that might be sponged by LINC01232. Methods: The potential target miRNAs that might be sponged by LINC01232 were analyzed using bioinformatics analysis. The Real-Time quantitative PCR was adopted to measure the relative expression of LINC01232 and target miRNAs in PAAD serum and tissue samples. The diagnostic and prognostic value of LINC01232 was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, respectively. Results: LINC01232 expression was upregulated in PAAD serum and tissues and associated with patients’ TNM stage. Serum LINC01232 expression had diagnostic value, and the high levels of LINC01232 could predict unfavorable prognosis in PAAD patients. miR-204-5p, miR-370-5p and miR-654-3p were proposed as 3 targets of LINC01232 in PAAD, and their decreased expression levels in PAAD patients showed certain clinical significance in diagnosis and prognosis. Conclusion: The data of this study revealed that LINC01232 expression is upregulated in PAAD serum and tissue samples with considerable diagnostic and prognostic significance. In addition, miR-204-5p, miR-370-5p and miR-654-3p may be sponged by LINC01232 in PAAD, which also show potencies in PAAD diagnosis and prognosis.
