MiR-29a-3p Enhances the Viability of Rat Neuronal Cells that Injured by Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation/Reoxygenation Treatment Through Targeting TNFRSF1A and Regulating NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

Objective: We attempt to investigate the role of TNFRSF1A and its underlying mechanism in oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced injury in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells.

Methods: Public datasets GSE61616 and GSE106680 were downloaded from GEO database. PC12 cells were used to construct OGD/R models.

Immunoglobulin G4-related hypertrophic pachymeningitis with spinal cord compression: A case report.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recently recognized inflammatory condition that can be found in many organs. However, spinal involvement is rare and has been described only in case reports and series. Here, we report a rare case of spinal IgG4-RD that resulted in hypertrophic pachymeningitis with spinal cord compression.

LncRNA H19 and Target Gene-mediated Cleft Palate Induced by TCDD.

This study investigated the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the development of the palatal tissues. Cleft palates in mice were induced by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Expression levels of long non-coding RNA H19 (lncRNA H19) and insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Risk of Stroke in Patients with Herpes Zoster: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Several observational studies suggest that herpes zoster (HZ) may increase the risk of stroke, but the results are inconsistent. Our study was designed to assess the association between HZ and the risk of stroke through a meta-analysis of cohort studies.

Methods: The electronic databases PubMed and EMBASE were searched from inception to May 31, 2016 to identify relevant cohort studies that assess the risk of stroke in patients with HZ.

Cigarette smoking and risk of adult glioma: a meta-analysis of 24 observational studies involving more than 2.3 million individuals.

Background: Cigarette smoking has been shown to be a risk factor for adult glioma by some but not all studies. We conducted a meta-analysis to systematically assess the potential association.

Methods: PubMed and EMBASE were searched from the date of their inception to October 1, 2015, to identify relevant articles.

[Study on EB virus infection, LMP1 and Bcl-2 expression in lung cancer patients].

Objective: To investigate the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, the expression of EBV latent membrane protein 1 ( LMPl) and oncogene bcl-2 in lung cancer patients.

Methods: EBERI in 108 cases of lung cancer were detected with in situ hybridization. EBV positive and negative lung cancer tissues were analysed for the expression of LMP1 and Bcl-2 by immnohistochemistry.

[Detection of Epstein-Barr virus in lung carcinoma tissue by in situ hybridization].

Objectives: To examine the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in primary lung carcinoma tissue, and to investigate the relationship between EBV infection and tumorigenesis of lung cancer.

Methods: Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded lung tissue specimens from surgically resected lung carcinoma tissues of 108 cases treated in Tanshan area from 2001 to 2006, which were confirmed further by histopathological examination after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, were used to observe the EBV encoded RNA-1 (EBER1) using in situ hybridization (ISH).

Results: EBER1 was detected in 36 of the 108 primary lung carcinoma cases, and in 1 of the 22 normal lung tissues.

[Fractional utilization of reduced iron powder in Chinese child bearing age women with dual stable isotopes].

Objective: To study the utilization of reduced iron powder in child-bearing-age women with traditional Chinese food.

Methods: 20 health child-bearing-age women were randomly divided into two groups. With ferrous sulfate as control, the utilization of reduced iron was measured using dual stable isotopes.

[Effect of anthocyanin rich fruit extract on PGE2 produced by endothelial cells].

Objective: To study the effect of anthocyanin rich fruit extract on PGE2 produced by endothelial cells.

Methods: Normal human endothelial cells, CRL-2606, were cultured in F12K medium (complemented with 10% FBS, 0.1 mg/ml heparin, 0.
