Metrnβ drives sepsis immunosuppression via macrophage reprogramming: A novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Metrnβ serves as a novel prognostic biomarker for sepsis and that targeted blockade of the Metrnβ‐c‐Kit axis represents a promising therapeutic strategy for sepsis. Abstract Sepsis is a heterogeneous syndrome critically driven by immunosuppression, yet lacking personalized prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. Here, we provide evidence to support

Characteristics of ascitic fluid and diagnosis of bacterial peritonitis in malignant ascites: An observational study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bacterial peritonitis in patients with malignant ascites (BP‐MA) is an understudied, high‐mortality condition. While ascitic polymorphonuclear (PMN) cell count ≥ 250 cells/mm3 defines the diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with cirrhosis, an ascitic fluid parameter for the diagnosis of BP‐MA has not ...
