Genetic Polymorphism and Expression of CXCR4 in Breast Cancer by Marina Okuyama Kishima, Karen Brajão de Oliveira, Carolina Batista Ariza, Carlos Eduardo Coral de Oliveira, Roberta Losi Guembarovski, Bruna Karina Banin Hirata, Felipe Campos de Almeida, Glauco Akelinghton Freire Vitiello, Kleber Paiva Trugilo, Alda Fiorina Maria Losi Guembarovski, Walter Jorge Sobrinho, Clodoaldo Zago Campos, Maria Angelica Ehara Watanabe

“…The present study aimed to investigate the influence of CXCR4 rs2228014 polymorphism on its mRNA and protein expression in breast cancer samples. It was observed that patients presented higher CXCR4 mRNA relative expression (5.7-fold) than normal mammary gland, but this expression was not correlated with patients clinicopathological features (nuclear grade, nodal status, ER status, PR status, p53 staining, Ki67 index, and HER-2 status). …”

Quality of life disparities among Mexican people with systemic lupus erythematosus. by Ana Laura Hernández-Ledesma, Domingo Martínez, Elizabeth Fajardo-Brigido, Talía V Román-López, Karen J Nuñez-Reza, Andrea Y Tapia-Atilano, Sandra V Vera Del Valle, Donají Domínguez-Zúñiga, Lizbet Tinajero-Nieto, Angélica Peña-Ayala, Estefania Torres-Valdez, Gabriel Frontana-Vázquez, María Gutiérrez-Arcelus, Florencia Rosetti, Sarael Alcauter, Miguel E Rentería, Alejandra E Ruiz-Contreras, Deshiré Alpízar-Rodríguez, Alejandra Medina-Rivera

“…Systemic Lupus Erythematosus participants had significantly lower quality of life than healthy people (p-values < 0.0001). Socioeconomic status, delay in diagnosis, and corticosteroid consumption were the factors that influenced QoL the most (RMSE = 9.53 with the importance variable validated); lower quality of life was associated with lower socioeconomic status (p-value < 0.0001). …”
