LINC00461 Regulates the Recurrence of Large B Cell Lymphoma through the miR-411-5p/BNIP3 Pathway.

Objective: To analyze the mechanism of LINC00461 regulating the recurrence of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) through microRNA (miR)-411-5p/BCL2 interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) pathway.

Methods: DLBCL samples in TCGA and GSE12453 were used for differential analysis to find long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) related to DLBCL recurrence. The 4 DLBCL data with the highest and lowest expression levels of LINC00461 in the TCGA database were selected for GSEA enrichment analysis.

Associations between Huwe1 and autophagy in rat cerebral neuron oxygen‑glucose deprivation and reperfusion injury.

Autophagy and the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) are two major protein degradation pathways involved in brain ischemia. Autophagy can compensate for UPS impairment‑induced cellular dysfunction. HECT, UBA and WWE domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (Huwe1), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, serves critical roles in nervous system plasticity, regeneration and disease.

Silencing Huwe1 reduces apoptosis of cortical neurons exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion.

HECT, UBA and WWE domain-containing 1 (Huwe1), an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, is widely expressed in brain tissue. Huwe1 is involved in the turnover of numerous substrates, including p53, Mcl-1, Cdc6 and N-myc, thereby playing a critical role in apoptosis and neurogenesis. However, the role of Huwe1 in brain ischemia and reperfusion injury remains unclear.

p57KIP2‑mediated inhibition of human trophoblast apoptosis and promotion of invasion in vitro.

Placental hypoxia serves a role in the early stages of normal pregnancy and is involved in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Previously, it was suggested that p57kinase inhibitory protein (KIP)2 regulates the cell cycle during embryogenesis and apoptosis. Recent evidence has indicated that p57KIP2 is increased in preeclamptic placentas and absence of p57KIP2 induces preeclampsia‑type symptoms in rats.

[Effects of long-term replacement therapy of compound nylestriol tablet or low-dose 17 beta-estradiol on the expression of nerve growth factor in OVX rat hippocampal formation].

Objective: To determine the effects of long-term estrogen deficiency and replacement therapy of compound nylestriol tablet or low-dose 17 beta-estradiol on the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) in rat hippocampal formation.

Methods: Fifty 7 month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal control, sham operated (SHAM), ovariectomized (OVX), OVX plus 17 beta-estradiol (OVX/ERT), and OVX plus compound nylestriol tablet (OVX/NL) groups. Immunohistochemistry of NGF was used to quantitatively determine the levels of expression of NGF using cell counting and imaging system in ovariectomized rat hippocampal formation.

Effects of skeletal size of the lumbar spine on areal bone density, volumetric bone density, and the diagnosis of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in China.

To understand the effects of skeletal size of the lumbar spine on areal bone mineral density (aBMD), volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), and the diagnosis of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, we measured the projected bone area, bone mineral content (BMC), aBMD, and vBMD at the anteroposterior and lateral lumbar spines in a population of 1081 postmenopausal Chinese women, 42 to 86 years of age. The results indicated that, at the anteroposterior and lateral lumbar spine, there were significant positive correlations between bone area and both BMC ( r = 0.606; P = 0.

The effect of low dose nylestriol-levonorgestrel replacement therapy on bone mineral density in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Objective: Recently our studies have shown that nylestriol in combination with levonorgestrel prevented bone loss, decreased bone turnover rate and increased the maximal loading of bone without obvious side effects in retinoic acid (RA) induced osteoporotic rats. In addition to the animal experiments, we evaluate the effect of Compound Nylestriol Tablet (CNT) on bone mineral density (BMD) in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Compound Nylestriol Tablet, which contains 0.

Effects of different nylestriol/levonorgestrel dosages on bone metabolism in female Sprague-Dawley rats with retinoic acid-induced osteoporosis.

Objective: To determine an optimal dosage combination for a nylestriol/levonorgestrel (NYL/LNG) regimen in the treatment of female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with retinoic acid (RA)-induced osteoporosis in order to examine the rationale of NYL/LNG use for postmenopausal women.

Methods: This study included two sets of experiments; one was designed to confirm the success of the RA-induced osteoporosis model involving 48 SD rats, and the other to determine the optimal dosage combination of NYL/LNG. In the second set of experiments, a total of 160 female SD rats at 7 months of age were randomly divided according to their basal body weights into 16 groups (10 in each).
