Clinical evaluation of negative mNGS reports in sterile body fluids and tissues by Wang Lisha, Qian Jiao, Chen Mengyuan, Qin Jiajia, Tang Tianbin, Wang Yilan, Hu Linjie, Yu Sufei

“…Our findings emphasized the role of negative mNGS results in practical clinical applications and clarified that patients, mNGS sampling time, and doctor’s decision making were the key factors for the diagnosis of clinical infections. More attention should be paid to the diagnostic role of mNGS true negatives, the analysis of clinical patterns of false negatives, and improving the diagnostic accuracy of mNGS.…”

The expression pattern of long non-coding RNA PVT1 in tumor tissues and in extracellular vesicles of colorectal cancer correlates with cancer progression by Kai Guo, Jie Yao, Qiang Yu, Zijian Li, Hu Huang, Jianguo Cheng, Zhigang Wang, Yunfeng Zhu

“…Here, we reported for the first time that PVT1 as a long non-coding RNA was successfully detected in extracellular vesicles excluded from SW620 and SW480 cells, and the expression level of PVT1 was higher in extracellular vesicles from the more aggressive cell SW620 than from SW480. The results also showed that by down-regulating the PVT1 expression, the c-Myc expression was suppressed, the cell proliferation was inhibited, and cell apoptosis was increased. …”
