Application of cystourethroscopy during tracheobronchial foreign body removal in children.

Objective This study aimed to describe preliminary experiences associated with removal of tracheobronchial foreign bodies (TFBs) by cystourethroscopy (CU). Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of 127 paediatric cases of TFB removal by CU at our centre from January 2009 to August 2016. Data that were extracted from the medical records included age, sex, location and nature of the TFBs, operation time, and complications.

miR-371-5p suppresses the proliferative and migratory capacity of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma by targeting BCL2.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression and function of microRNA (miR)-371-5p in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The levels of miR-371-5p were analyzed in nasopharyngeal epithelium tissues, NPC tissues, human NPC cell lines and NP69 cells using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. The association between the level of miR-371-5p and clinicopathological variables was also investigated.
