JBUON 2020;25(5):2315-2321; PMID: 33277851 Following the publication of the above article, readers drew to our attention that part of the data was unreliable: Figures of this article appeared in other articles (by totally different authors). The authors were requested to provide the raw data and were also asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive any reply.

MicroRNA-23 regulates the growth, metastasis and chemosensitivity of human gastric cancer cells by targeting MAP3K9.

Purpose: The efficient therapeutic targets which could be utilized for gastric cancer are limited. In this context, this study was undertaken to evaluate possible anticancer activity of miR-23 against gastric cancer.

Methods: The normal GES-1 and human AGS, SNU-1 and SNU-5 gastric cancer cells were used in this study.

Hydroxychloroquine Blocks Autophagy and Promotes Apoptosis of the Prostate after Castration in Rats.

Unlabelled: Autophagy is an important pro-survival mechanism and closely related to apoptosis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) blocks autophagy and promotes apoptosis of the prostate after castration.

Methods: Thirty-six male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 12): control group (sham operation), castration group, and HCQ group (castrated and treated with HCQ).

The potential role of in gastrointestinal cancer: a mini review.

Bacterial infection may be involved in the entire process of tissue carcinogenesis by directly or indirectly affecting the occurrence and development of tumors. is an important pathogen causing periodontitis. Periodontitis may promote the occurrence of various tumors.

Curative effect of endostar combined with oxaliplatin in the treatment of primary hepatic carcinoma and its influence on immune cells.

Curative effect and adverse reactions of oxaliplatin combined with endostar in the interventional treatment of primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) were investigated. A total of 101 PHC patients from October 2012 to December 2014 in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were retrospectively collected. Fifty patients in combined therapy group were treated with oxaliplatin combined with endostar, while the remaining 51 patients in oxaliplatin group were treated with oxaliplatin alone.

SIRS-SS: a system for simulating IR/Raman spectra. 2. Procedures and performance.

This paper is devoted to the description of procedures used in our IR/RAMAN spectrum simulation system, based on substructure/subspectrum correlations established between linked databases. The search is performed in the following order: small molecules/specific fragments/atom centered FRELs (FREL: FRagment centered on an Environment which is Limited)/bond focused FRELs. Comparative study with several reported methods has been carried out to show good performance of this software both for IR and RAMAN spectrum simulation.
