Postoperative peritoneal adhesion (PPA) is a serious clinical condition that affects the high percentage of patients after abdominal surgery. In this review, we have tried to focus on pathophysiology and different underlying signal pathways of adhesion formation based on recent progress in the molecular and cellular mechanisms. Also, the strategies, developed based on traditional herbal and modern medicines, to prevent and treat the PPA via regulation of the molecular mechanisms were investigated.

Background: One of the most frequent distressing diseases which causes anal pain and bleeding after defecation is anal fissure. Despite a poorly understood pathogenesis, the internal anal sphincter spasm has been identified to play a central role in pathogenesis. Recently, botulinum toxin is being used increasingly for the treatment of chronic anal fissure to achieve chemical sphincterotomy and reduce internal sphincter tonicity.

OncomiRNAs involved in human colorectal cancer (CRC) are capable of suppressing the expression of their targets via cleavage or translational arrest. Therefore, an improved understanding the functions of these oncomiRNAs and the molecular pathways in CRC development that they are involved in will assist in the manipulation of miRNAs, providing a novel therapeutic approach against CRC. In this review, we provide a particular perspective of miRNAs implicated in the progression of CRC.
