Therapeutic Effect of Catgut Implantation at Acupoint in a Mouse Model of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Suppressing Immune Escape.

Background: The occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are closely related to immune function, as is the capacity of hepatoma cells to escape. Immunosurveillance is a key mechanism. Catgut implantation at acupoint (CIAA) is a promising acupuncture improvement method that can regulate immunity and has been widely used in the clinical treatment of a variety of diseases.

The Upregulation of Trophinin-Associated Protein (TROAP) Predicts a Poor Prognosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

: Trophinin-associated protein (TROAP) is a cytoplasmic protein that plays a significant role in the processes of embryo transplantation and microtubule regulation. However, the relevant survival analysis and cancer progression analysis have not yet been reported. : Eighteen matched pairs of tumor and adjacent non-tumor samples were evaluated to detect the TROAP mRNA level.

Poly[[μ-chlorido-μ-[2-(2,4-di-fluoro-phen-yl)-1,3-bis-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-2-ol-κ(2) N (4):N (4')]-zinc] chloride dihydrate].

The title compound, {[ZnCl(C13H12F2N6O)2]Cl·2H2O} n , is a two-dimensional coordination polymer. The Zn(II) atom is six-coordinated by four N atoms from four 2-(2,4-di-fluoro-phen-yl)-1,3-bis-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propan-2-ol (HFlu) ligands and by two Cl atoms in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Two Cl atoms bridge two Zn(II) atoms, forming a centrosymmetric dinuclear unit.
