Objective: It has been evidenced that microRNAs (miRs) exert crucial effects on acute liver failure (ALF), while the detailed function of miR-450b-5p in ALF progression remained obscure. The purpose of this research was to unravel the regulatory mechanism of miR-450b-5p in ALF via modulating Mouse Double Minute 2 protein (MDM2).
Methods: ALF was induced in mice by intraperitoneal injection of d-galactosamine ( d-GalN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Objective: The study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of Huangkui capsule plus methylprednisolone in the treatment of nephropathy and the effect on urinary protein and serum inflammatory factors in patients.
Methods: Between June 2017 and July 2020, 90 patients with nephropathy admitted to our hospital were recruited after assessment of eligibility and assigned via the random number table method (1 : 1) to receive either methylprednisolone tablets (observation group) or methylprednisolone tablets plus Huangkui capsules (experimental group). All eligible patients were also given dipyridamole and valsartan.

Objective: To investigate the effect of pulmonary vascular dysfunction in the prognosis of patients with acute lung injury (ALI).
Methods: Patients with ALI who underwent pulmonary artery catheterization in the department of critical care medicine of Wuhan NO.1 Hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were enrolled.
Background: Recent studies have suggested that microRNA-7 (miR-7) family members may play important roles in human cancer by regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the clinical significance and biological function of miR-7 in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: Initially, cancer and adjacent tissues were collected from 76 patients with CRC.
