Exploring serum miR-33b as a novel diagnostic marker for hypercholesterolemia and obesity: insights from a pilot case-control study by Yaser Masoumi-Ardakani, Mostafa Eghbalian, Hossein Fallah, Alireza Jafari, Beydolah Shahouzehi

“…Finally, the ROC analysis demonstrated that miR-33b had an AUC of 0.74 for identifying hypercholesterolemia and an AUC of 0.76 for identifying obesity, indicating its acceptable diagnostic value alongside traditional markers. Therefore, serum miR-33b levels can be considered as a potential biomarker for obesity and hypercholesterolemia, but these finding are preliminary and further investigation is necessary in larger samples to confirm these associations.…”

An exploratory study on the differential diagnostic indicators between adult systemic EBV-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma with multiple EBV infections by Xiaodan Zheng, Yuanyuan Zheng, Yanlin Zhang, Jianlan Xie, Xiaojing Teng, Kuo Bi, Lan Sun, Xiaowen Huang, Mulan Jin, Xiaoge Zhou

“…Abstract Background The differential diagnosis between adult systemic EBV-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (EBV+ T-LPD) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) with multiple EBV infections is difficult, and distinguishing between the two has become a diagnostic challenge for pathologists. Given that the clinical treatment plans are different, an accurate diagnosis is a prerequisite to ensure effective treatment, therefore, it is extremely necessary and meaningful to find effective pathological indicators for distinguishing between two diseases. …”
