In patients with stage 2 CKD, CRAE-B was higher than CRAE-C (141.1 ± 21.4 vs. 137.4 ± 19.4µm, p less then .001). In contrast, such a difference was not found in patients with stage 3 CKD. CRAE of both retinal zones correlated with eGFR for the entire cohort. In patients with stage 3 CKD, retinal narrowing is more pronounced compared to patients with stage 2 CKD. Whether the novel observation of difference in arteriolar caliber between zones B and C in stage 2 CKD could serve as an early marker of CKD progression warrants further investigation.miRNAs in circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising biomarkers for cancer. However, their diagnostic ability for early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not well known. In this study, the circulating EV miRNAs profiling was initially performed in 36 untreated NSCLC patients and 36 healthy controls by TaqMan Low Density Array (TLDA). Subsequently, we performed quantitative reverse-transcription PCR assay (RT-qPCR) validation in several independent cohorts that included 159 NSCLC patients, 120 age/sex-matched healthy controls and 31 benign nodule patients enrolled from three different clinical centres. In addition, 38 cases of NSCLC were analysed before and after surgery. We demonstrated that miR-520c-3p and miR-1274b were significantly and steadily increased in NSCLC patients in comparison with healthy controls and benign nodule patients (P less then 0.001) and decreased markedly after tumour resection (P less then 0.001). The areas under the curve (AUCs) of the ROC curve of the two-miRNA panel were 0.857 (95% CI, 0813-0.901; P less then 0.0001) and 0.845 (95% CI, 0.793-0.896; P less then 0.0001) for NSCLC and NSCLC stage I, respectively. Furthermore, the panel was able to differentiate NSCLC from benign nodu
