Comparing suture with N-Hexyl Cyanoacrylate glue for mesh fixation in inguinal hernia repair, a randomised clinical trial.

Purpose: Inguinal hernia is a common surgical problem and different methods are currently used to repair it. In The Lichtenstein technique, the inguinal floor defect is buttressed with a prosthetic mesh and commonly, sutures are used for mesh fixation. N-Hexyl Cyanoacrylate is a gluelike product that can be used for mesh fixation as a substitute with fewer complications.

LOC646329 long non-coding RNA sponges miR-29b-1 and regulates TGFβ signaling in colorectal cancer.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are reported to be regulators of signaling pathways that are involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. Aiming at finding ncRNAs (miRNAs) that are differentially expressed in tumor versus normal colorectal tissue samples, online RNA-seq data were analyzed. Of between 18 candidate miRNAs, hsa-miR-29b-1 (miR-29b-1) represented the highest fold change of expression level.
