Identification of potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for liver cirrhosis based on Mendelian randomization and machine learning.

BACKGROUND: Liver cirrhosis(LC) represents the end stage of chronic liver disease, yet reliable molecular markers remain limited. This study aimed to uncover potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for LC. METHODS: We integrated differential gene analysis from LC datasets in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) with Mendelian randomization (MR) using eQTLGen and FinnGen summary data t...

Influence of blood transfusion on outcomes in patients with gastric cancer.

Chen et al's research provides valuable data supporting the cautious use of transfusions during gastric cancer surgery. However, to interpret causality, it must be acknowledged that recent tend-adjusted studies have consistently shown that the independent effect of transfusions may be smaller than that shown in unadjusted analyses. Future research should employ the following approaches: (1) Extend...
