Are long noncoding intronic RNAs differentially expressed in primary and metastatic pancreatic cancer?
Our findings reveal sets of intronic lncRNAs expressed in pancreatic tissues whose abundance is correlated to PDAC or metastasis, thus pointing to the potential relevance of this class of transcripts in biological processes related to malignant transformation and metastasis in pancreatic cancer.
When infused early in HS, PNA + Tempol can increase survival. When given late, it significantly improves acid-base and serum antioxidant status, without an effect on survival. Additional studies will be required to determine whether early resuscitation with PNA + Tempol attenuates reactive oxygen species-mediated injury as the mechanism for preventing the progression toward multiple organ failure and death after HS. The results suggest that antioxidant therapy with Tempol deserves further study as a potential adjunct in the initial resuscitation from HS.
