lncRNA Promotes Metastasis of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Through EZH2-Mediated Activation of Hippo/NOTCH1 Signaling Pathways.

Objective: Although growing evidences have showed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 () plays a critical role in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), there are still many unsolved mysteries remains to be deeply elucidated. This study aimed to find a new underlying mechanism of in regulating the tumorigenesis and development of NSCLC.

Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRTPCR) was used to profile the expression of in NSCLC tissues and cells.

MicroRNA-497-5p negatively regulates the proliferation and cisplatin resistance of non-small cell lung cancer cells by targeting YAP1 and TEAD1.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial regulators in the pathological processes and drug resistance of lung cancer. In this study, we investigated the role of miR-497-5p in modulating the function of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: MiR-497-5p expression in lung cancer tissues and cells was evaluated by qRT-PCR.

[Change in endothelial progenitor cells and endothelial function in patients with unstable angina pectoris].

Objective: To investigate the relationship between endothelial progenitors cells (EPCs) and endothelium-dependent vasodilation in patients with unstable angina pectoris.

Methods: Thirty patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and thirty control subjects were recruited. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in the brachial artery was evaluated by using ultrasound Doppler flow method.

[Sevoflurane-N2O inhalation anaesthesia with laryngeal mask airway and propofol-ketamine intravenous anaesthesia in strabismus surgery].

Objective: To investigate the advantages and disadvantages of sevoflurane-N2O inhalation anesthesia with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and propofolketamine total intravenous anaesthesia in children undertaking strabismus surgery.

Methods: Eighty children undertaking strabismus surgery were randomly divided into sevoflurane-N2O inhalation anaesthesia group with LMA (volatile group, n=40) and propofol-ketamine total intravenous anesthesia group (TIVA group, n=40). LMA was used to secure respiratory airway in the volatile group, but LMA or endotracheal intubation was not used in the TIVA group.

[Impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation and arterial elasticity in patients with coronary artery disease].

Objective: To investigate the change in endothelium-dependent vasodilation and arterial elasticity and the association between them in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: Thirty patients with CAD and thirty control subjects were recruited for this study. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in the brachial artery was evaluated by ultrasound Doppler flow method.
