Studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in tumor progression and patients' prognosis. Therefore, we aimed to construct a miRNA model for forecasting the survival of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. The gene expression data of 433 patients with HCC from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus public databases were remined by survival analysis and receptor manipulation characteristic curve (ROC).

Methods: Seventy Wistar rats were divided into the normal control group (group 1), the GS group (group 2), the PD group (group 3), the GSPD group (group 4), the GS intervention group (group 5), the PD intervention group (group 6), and the GSPD intervention group (group 7) according to random digit table, 10 in each group. Rats in group 1 received no treatment.
Objective: To study the different mature stages and the best processing methods on the quality of Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds.
Methods: The content of 3,29-dibenzoyl rarounitriol in Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds was determined by HPLC. The sample of different mature stages such as immature, near mature and fully mature and processed by different methods were studied.
