Is S-upar level correlated to the length of hospitalization

چکیده
Background The purpose of this study is to investigate, if S-uPAR correlates with expected length of patients’ hospitalization. This could be useful in emergency medicine, due to the acute departments treating patients hospitalized for 48 hours or less. S-uPAR (Urokinase Plasminogen Activator, CD87) is a potential biomarker thought to be related to inflammatory immune cells activation. It is expressed on various immune cells including neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, and lymphocytes. Upon inflammation, it is cleaved from the cell surface and released into serum. S-uPAR has shown prognostic and clinical value in the triage of patients as described in an editorial comment in the Journal of Internal Medicine 2012 [1].

Background and purpose: Several studies investigated the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) during transplantation and inflammation, and clinical outcomes after stem cell transplantation. In this study, we examined the relationship between the earliest CRP level on admission day, and the first outcome after transplantation, myeloid and platelet engraftment, and the length of hospitalization in p...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated delivery of antisense gene to urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor suppresses glioma invasion and tumor growth.
The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and uPA receptor (UPAR) play important roles in the proteolytic cascade involved in the invasiveness of gliomas and other invasive tumors. High-level expression of uPAR has been correlated with high-grade glioma cell lines and tumors We report here that down-regulating uPAR levels by antisense strategy using an adenovirus construct (Ad-uPAR) inhibi...
متن کاملSoluble urokinase receptor levels correlate with number of circulating tumor cells in acute myeloid leukemia and decrease rapidly during chemotherapy.
The importance of plasminogen activation, mediated by urokinase (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR), is well established in many physiologica and pathological processes, such as in cell migration and tumor-cell invasion. Recently, additional functions have been described for uPA and uPAR, particularly in cell adhesion and chemotaxis. The amounts of uPA and uPAR in various tumor types and in the plasm...
