Background And Study Aims: This study was aimed to validate the correlation of circular RNA HIPK3 (CircHIPK3) expression in serum and tissues with the progression of liver fibrosis (LF) and liver cirrhosis (LC).

Patients And Methods: Serum CircHIPK3 expressions were detected in 120 patients with LF/LC and 120 healthy controls (HCs). CircHIPK3 expression in tissues was detected in 120 fibrotic liver tissues and compared to 57 healthy liver tissues from patients with hepatic hemangioma.

Objective: The chemokine receptor CX3CR1 and its specific ligand fractalkine (CX3CL1, FKN) has been implicated in modulating inflammatory and fibroproliferative diseases. The current study was performed to investigate the correlation of serum fractalkine levels with disease severity of liver fibrosis/cirrhosis (LC).

Methods: 162 LC patients and 140 healthy controls well enrolled in our study.

Background: Circular RNAs (CircRNAs) have been recently implicated in the progression of pancreatic cancer (PC).

Aims: To investigate the involvement of CircCCT3 in PC and studying its interactions and functioning during the progression of PC in vitro and in vivo, using methods of molecular biology and bioinformatics.

Study Design: Experimental study.

Aim: To determine the effect of three digestive tract reconstruction procedures on pouch function, after radical surgery undertaken because of gastric cancer, as assessed by radionuclide dynamic imaging.

Methods: As a measure of the reservoir function, with a designed diet containing technetium-99m ((99m)Tc), the emptying time of the gastric substitute was evaluated using a (99m)Tc-labeled solid test meal. Immediately after the meal, the patient was placed in front of a gamma camera in a supine position and the radioactivity was measured over the whole abdomen every minute.
