Does microRNA-146b act as a potential tumor suppressor in human prostate cancer?
Our results demonstrated that miR-146b expression is downregulated in prostate tumor tissues and is a potential tumor suppressor miR, suggesting that miR-146b might be a potential clinical marker and therapeutic target for prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.
A high preoperative CRP level predicts an increased rate of postoperative complication due to established inflammation and/or infection. This raises the question of whether we should be offering primary open appendicectomies to patients with a CRP level of >150 mg/l.
