Hsa_circ_0006571 promotes spinal metastasis through sponging microRNA-138 to regulate sirtuin 1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma.

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are known to participate in lung cancer. However, their role in spinal metastasis (SM) of lung adenocarcinoma remains elusive. In this study, we determined that hsa_circ_0006571 serves as a sponge for miR-138, which targets sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) in the development of SM.

Relationships of accelerometer-based measured objective physical activity and sedentary behaviour with cognitive function: a comparative cross-sectional study of China's elderly population.

Background: This study explored the effects of physical activity and sedentary behaviour on the decline of cognitive ability among the elderly. To compensate for the limitations of self-reported physical activity, objective measures were used.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 308 aged people mean 68.

Influence of the built environment of Nanjing's Urban Community on the leisure physical activity of the elderly: an empirical study.

Background: Urbanization and aging are global phenomena that offer unique challenges in different countries. A supportive environment plays an important role in addressing the issues of health behavioral change and health promotion (e.g.

Value of CT-guided Core Needle Biopsy in Diagnosing Spinal Lesions: A Comparison Study.

Objective: A retrospective study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of CT-guided core needle biopsy in diagnosing spinal lesions through comparison with C-arm guidance.

Methods: From April 2013 to July 2017, a total of 188 patients, who suffered from spinal lesions or had malignant tumor history with a new spinal fracture, were included in this study. There were 96 men and 92 women, with an average of 57.

Surgical Outcomes and Prognostic Factors for Metastatic Spine Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Background: We evaluated the surgical outcomes of metastatic spine hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and determined the factors that might influence the outcomes of metastatic HCC of the spine.

Methods: From 2010 to 2017, 72 patients with HCC-derived metastatic spine tumors were treated in our department. For each patient, we recorded the pre- and postoperative visual analog scale score, Frankel grade, perioperative complications, and mortality.
