[Retracted] Long non‑coding RNA HOTAIR modulates HLA‑G expression by absorbing miR‑148a in human cervical cancer.

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editors' attention by a concerned reader that the HLA western blotting data shown for the HeLa cell line in Fig. 3D on p. 948 were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in Fig.

Carbon quantum dots decorated MoSe photocatalyst for Cr(VI) reduction in the UV-vis-NIR photon energy range.

Developing whole spectrum responsive photocatalysts is one of greatly significant subjects from the viewpoint of using solar energy. Here we have firstly developed a carbon quantum dots-decorated MoSe photocatalyst that is active in the whole spectrum of solar light for Cr(VI) reduction. The Cr(VI) reduction rate of higher than 99% has been achieved with 1wt.

Hexagonal 2H-MoSe broad spectrum active photocatalyst for Cr(VI) reduction.

To make full use of the solar energy, exploring broad spectrum active photocatalysts has become one of the core issues for photocatalysis. Here we report a novel hexagonal 2H-MoSe photocatalyst with ultraviolet (UV)-visible-near infrared (NIR) light response for the first time. The results indicate that the MoSe displays excellent photo-absorption and photocatalytic activity in the reduction of Cr(VI) under UV and visible even NIR light irradiation.

Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR modulates HLA-G expression by absorbing miR-148a in human cervical cancer.

The long non-coding RNA HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) has been found overexpressed in many human malignancies and involved in tumor progression and metastasis. However, little is known about the potential biological roles of HOTAIR in tumor escape. In the present study, the expression of HOTAIR was detected in 59 paired cervical cancer tissue samples by real-time PCR and then subjected to correlation analysis with clinical features.

[Effectiveness comparison between modified percutaneous suture and conventional open suture in repairing acute closed achilles tendon rupture].

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of modified percutaneous suture in repairing acute closed Achilles tendon rupture by comparing with conventional open suture.

Methods: Between January 2006 and October 2009, 50 patients with acute closed Achilles tendon rupture were treated with modified percutaneous suture by making 5 small incisions at both sides of Achilles tendon and zigzag suture (improved group, n=22) and with Kessler suture (conventional group, n=28), respectively. No significant difference was found in gender, age, time from injury to operation between 2 groups (P > 0.
