Background: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ATB belongs to an active modulator in multiple cancers, but its expression along with potential underlying non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is obscure. Our study aimed to investigate the role and potential mechanism of LncRNA ATB in NSCLC.
Methods: LncRNA ATB expression in NSCLC tissues and cell lines was detected by qRT-PCR.
Context: Slow transit constipation (STC) has a high incidence worldwide, which not only seriously affects patients' normal lives but also may cause malignant intestinal lesions. Among the limited treatment options for STC, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is considered to be the key to STC treatment in the future.
Objective: The study intended to examine the impacts of acupuncture plus acupoint application on MAPK and ERK in STC rats, with the aim of preliminarily exploring the relevant mechanisms for treating STC as well as providing new ideas and means for future clinical treatment.
