Increased expression of miR-21 predicts poor prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and progression. Aberrant miR-21 expression has been reported in several cancers. However, the clinical significance of miR-21 in human HCC is still unclear.

Expression of long non-coding RNA LOC285194 and its prognostic significance in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Introduction: Dysregulation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) plays critical roles in tumor progression. lncRNA LOC285194 was previously shown to be correlated with aggressive clinicopathological features and poor prognosis in several cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate relationship between LOC285194 expression and clinical outcomes in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

3-Methyl-1-(3-nitro-phen-yl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole.

In the title compound, C(16)H(15)N(3)O(2), the planar [maximum deviation 0.156 (2) Å] pyrazoline ring is nearly coplanar with the 3-nitro-phenyl group and is approximately perpendicular to the phenyl ring, making dihedral angles of 3.80 (8) and 80.

5-(2-Fur-yl)-3-methyl-1-(3-nitro-phen-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole.

In the title compound, C(14)H(13)N(3)O(3), the pyrazoline ring assumes an envelope conformation with the furanyl-bearing C atom at the flap position. The dihedral angle between the furan and nitrobenzene rings is 84.40 (9)°.

[Analysis of the treatment of unexpected gallbladder cancer].

Objective: To investigate the secondary operation methods and the effects on the prognosis of unexpected gallbladder cancer (UGC).

Methods: A retrospective analysis on the clinical data was made for 41 patients who underwent extended radical excision from June 1995 to December 2002. Among the patients, 12 were male, 29 were female.
