Is long non-coding RNA MALAT1 an independent prognostic factor of osteosarcoma?
Our results demonstrated the clinical prognostic significance and roles of MALAT1 in osteosarcoma, and suggested that MALAT1 may be considered as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for osteosarcoma.
High fasting plasma insulin is an independent risk factor of all-cause mortality in non-diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction. This justifies future intervention studies aiming at reducing insulin resistance and using fasting insulin as the target variable.
