The five-year survival among patients with a high serum TATI was 30.6% (95% CI 20.4-40.8), compared to 52.9% (95% CI 44.7-61.1; p  less then  .001) among those with a low level. The serum TATI level remained significant in the multivariable survival analysis (hazard ratio 2.01; 95% CI 1.32-3.07). An elevated plasma CRP level associated with a high serum TATI level (p = .037).Conclusions This study shows for the first time that a high serum TAT-2 may function as a prognostic biomarker in gastric cancer and that TAT-2 levels may be elevated compared to controls. Additionally, we show that the prognosis is worse among gastric cancer patients with a high serum TATI. These biomarkers serve as prognostic factors particularly among patients with a metastatic or a locally advanced disease.Background Juvenile X-linked Retinoschisis (JXLRS) is a hereditary retinopathy that commonly presents with macular retinoschisis. In this study, we describe a group of patients who presented with peripheral retinoschisis with no macular schisis.Materials and Methods A retrospective case series of three JXLRS patients with genetically confirmed RS1 genotypes was identified. Presence of macular and/or peripheral retinoschisis as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT), wide-field fluorescein angiography, clinical ophthalmoscopy, and color fundus photography.Results The eyes of the three JXLRS patients with peripheral retinoschisis had no macular schisis or atrophy on OCT. ERG was available in one patient and showed no reduced b-waves on scotopic combined rod-cone response.Conclusions RS1 mutations can cause a macular-sparing JXLRS phenotype. The diagnosis of JXLRS should be considered for young males presenting with peripheral retinoschisis e
