Downregulated miR-367-3p, miR-548aq-5p, and miR-4710 in Human Whole Blood: Potential Biomarkers for Breast Cancer With Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis.

Background: Increasing studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) have great diagnostic value in cancer. Axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) is closely related to the prognosis of breast cancer. However, it remains unknown whether miRNAs in whole blood could be promising biomarkers in breast cancer ALNM.

Non-closure of the Free Peritoneal Flap During Laparoscopic Hernia Repair of Lower Abdominal Marginal Hernia: A Retrospective Analysis.

During lower abdominal marginal hernia repair, the peritoneal flap is routinely freed to facilitate mesh placement and closed to conclude the procedure. This procedure is generally called trans-abdominal partial extra-peritoneal (TAPE). However, the necessity of closing the free peritoneal flap is still controversial.

Lactate and Myocardiac Energy Metabolism.

The myocardium is capable of utilizing different energy substrates, which is referred to as "metabolic flexibility." This process assures ATP production from fatty acids, glucose, lactate, amino acids, and ketones, in the face of varying metabolic contexts. In the normal physiological state, the oxidation of fatty acids contributes to approximately 60% of energy required, and the oxidation of other substrates provides the rest.
