Study on the application of progressive training method combined with imagery training method in laparoscopic suturing skills training for resident physicians.

Objective: This study aims to explore an efficient teaching method to improve laparoscopic suturing skills in resident physicians by combining the progressive training method with the imagery training method.

Methods: This study used a randomized controlled trial methodology. The experimental group received training utilizing a combination of the progressive training method and the imagery training method In contrast, the control group followed the traditional teaching method of practicing continuous complete actions.

Predictive modeling of deep vein thrombosis risk in hospitalized patients: A Q-learning enhanced feature selection model.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) represents a critical health concern due to its potential to lead to pulmonary embolism, a life-threatening complication. Early identification and prediction of DVT are crucial to prevent thromboembolic events and implement timely prophylactic measures in high-risk individuals. This study aims to examine the risk determinants associated with acute lower extremity DVT in hospitalized individuals.

Performance optimization of support vector machine with oppositional grasshopper optimization for acute appendicitis diagnosis.

Preoperative differentiation of complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis is challenging. The research goal was to construct a new intelligent diagnostic rule that is accurate, fast, noninvasive, and cost-effective, distinguishing between complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis. Overall, 298 patients with acute appendicitis from the Wenzhou Central Hospital were recruited, and information on their demographic characteristics, clinical findings, and laboratory data was retrospectively reviewed and applied in this study.

Evolving fuzzy k-nearest neighbors using an enhanced sine cosine algorithm: Case study of lupus nephritis.

Because of its simplicity and effectiveness, fuzzy K-nearest neighbors (FKNN) is widely used in literature. The parameters have an essential impact on the performance of FKNN. Hence, the parameters need to be attuned to suit different problems.

Long Noncoding RNA PCAT18 Upregulates SPRR3 to Promote Colorectal Cancer Progression by Binding to miR-759.

Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play essential functions in the development of several cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Nevertheless, how PCAT18 regulates CRC tumorigenesis remains unclear. In this research, we aimed to investigate the roles of PCAT18 in CRC.

Circular RNA hsa_circRNA_102958 promotes tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer via miR-585/CDC25B axis.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are recently identified new noncoding RNAs and play an important role in tumorigenesis. Previous studies have indicated that hsa_circRNA_102958 is a potential diagnostic indicator in gastric cancer. However, its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) is poorly understood.

A novel lncRNA LOC101927746 accelerates progression of colorectal cancer via inhibiting miR-584-3p and activating SSRP1.

An increasing number of reports have indicated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, many lncRNAs remain unidentified in CRC, and their functions are yet to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated the function of lncRNA LOC101927746 in CRC progression.

Long noncoding RNA lncBRM promotes proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer by sponging miR-204-3p and upregulating TPT1.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are characterized as a type of noncoding RNAs over 200 nucleotides with little or none protein-coding potential. In the past years, lncRNAs have been proved to participant in many physiological and pathological processes. However, the role of lncRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC) still needs more attentions.

miR‑3666 suppresses cellular proliferation and invasion in colorectal cancer by targeting SATB2.

MicroRNA‑3666 (miR‑3666) acts as a tumor suppressor in cervical cancer, non‑small cell lung cancer and thyroid carcinoma; however, the function of miR‑3666 in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains largely unknown. In the present study, was demonstrated that miR‑3666 was significantly downregulated in CRC tissues compared with in adjacent normal tissues by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Additionally, miR‑3666 may serve as a prognostic biomarker for patients with CRC.

Preoperative serum visfatin levels and prognosis of breast cancer among Chinese women.

Visfatin is identified a pro-inflammatory cytokine and its serum level is increased in various cancers. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative serum visfatin level in breast cancers. Preoperative serum visfatin levels of 248 patients with breast cancer and serum visfatin levels of 100 healthy individuals and 100 benign women controls were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
