Inhibition of the growth of non-small cell lung cancer by miRNA-1271.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common lung cancer of high incidence. Since NSCLCs often grow rapidly, it is critical to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Previous studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in the carcinogenesis of NSCLC.

Expressions of D2-40, CK19, galectin-3, VEGF and EGFR in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Objective: To investigate the expressions of D2-40, CK19, galectin-3, VEGF, and EGFR in papillary thyroid carcinoma and their clinical significances.

Methods: The expressions of D2-40, CK19, galectin-3, VEGF, and EGFR in 38 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma and 12 cases of thyroid papillary hyperplasia were detected by immunohistochemical staining.

Results: The positive expression rates of D2-40, CK19, Galectin-3, VEGF and EGFR in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma were all significantly higher than those in patients with thyroid papillary hyperplasia (all P<0.
