Background: Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been identified to play important roles in epigenetic processes that underpin organogenesis. However, the role of LncRNAs in the regulation of transition from fetal to adult life of human heart has not been evaluated.
Methods: Immunofiuorescent staining was used to determine the extent of cardiac cell proliferation.
Objective: To investigate the role of bacteria in the etiology of chronic prostatitis.
Methods: Complete prostate specimens were obtained at autopsy from 192 organ donors (aged 20 - 38 years old) during 2002 to 2008 who died of non-prostatic diseases. One tissue taken from the peripheral prostatic zone according to McNeal was divided into two pieces.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how bacteria might contribute to chronic prostatitis by analyzing prostate tissue from 140 organ donors aged 20-35.
- Pathological examination and PCR were used to identify inflammation levels and the presence of bacterial RNA in prostate samples.
- Results indicated that 32.9% of the samples showed inflammation, and those with prostatitis had a significantly higher rate of bacterial presence (48.9%) compared to those without (5.3%), suggesting a potential link between bacteria and chronic prostatitis.
