[Retracted] Galectin‑3 blockade suppresses the growth of cetuximab‑resistant human oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editor's attention by a concerned reader that the colony formation assay data shown in Fig. 4C on p. 6 were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in other articles written by different authors at different research institutes, which had already been published.

The influence of bracket torque on external apical root resorption in bimaxillary protrusion patients: a retrospective study.

Background: To evaluate the difference in root resorption between standard torque self-ligating brackets and high torque self-ligating brackets in bimaxillary protrusion patients after orthodontic treatment.

Methods: Pre-treatment and post-treatment Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of 32 patients (16 treated with the high torque DamonQ 0.022″ bracket and 16 with the 0.

Galectin‑3 blockade suppresses the growth of cetuximab‑resistant human oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a cancer associated with high mortality (accounting for 3.1/100,000 deaths per year in Brazil in 2013) and a high frequency of amplification in the expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Treatment with the EGFR inhibitor cetuximab leads to drug resistance in patients with OSCC due to unknown mechanisms.

The Clinical Features and Prognosis of Anti-NMDAR Encephalitis Depends on Blood Brain Barrier Integrity.

Background: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune nervous system disease that has become increasingly recognized. This retrospective study is aimed to analyze the relations between clinical manifestations and blood brain barrier (BBB) integrity in anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients.

Methods: Anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from April 2014 to April 2020.

KCNQ1OT1 promotes migration and inhibits apoptosis by modulating miR-185-5p/Rab14 axis in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play essential roles in the regulation of gene transcription in carcinogenesis and metastasis via interacting with microRNA. In this study, we explored the expressions and functions of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and miR-185-5p in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. KCNQ1OT1 expression in OSCC tissues and cells was examined by qRT-PCR.

Tardive intermittent massive vaginal bleeding from abnormal blood vessels within cesarean scar: Two more new cases should bring our attention to a new entity.

The two cases in this report had intermittent massive vaginal bleeding with a distant history of cesarean delivery. Such severe bleeding was life-threating but was eventually cured by surgical management. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second report of cases of tardive vaginal bleeding caused by abnormal blood vessels embedded within cesarean scars.

[Clinical comparison of four treatment methods for cesarean scar pregnancy].

Objective: To explore the best approach to treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).

Methods: A total of 138 patients with CSP treated between January and December, 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were treated with conservative drug therapy, direct curettage, uterine curettage after embolization, or open or transvaginal surgery.

[Behavior of bone formation around the porous-hollow cylindrical titanium implant composed of bone morphogenetic protein].

Objective: The purpose of this study was to observe the behavior of bone formation around the titanium-hollow porous cylinder implant composed of bovine bone morphogentic protein(bBMP).

Methods: Porous-hollow cylinder titanium implant composed of bBMP was implanted into mandibule of dogs. Multiple fluorescent was labeled at different times and then LSCM was used to observe the newly formed bone around the complex implant.

[In vitro study of the effect of nm23-H1 on metastasis ability and chemo-sensitivity of Acc-M cell lines].

Objective: To transfect nm23-H1 into the Acc-M cell lines in a safe, high-efficiency and low-toxicity way, and then to find out whether nm23-H1 affects the metastasis ability and chemo-sensitivity of Acc-M cell lines.

Methods: Lipofect was used to transfect nm23-H1 into Acc-M cell lines. The difference in expression of nm23-H1 between the transfected and non-transfected cell lines was detected by immunohistochemistry.

[Transfection of the nm23-H1 gene into BcaCD885 cell line inhibits the potential of invasion, adhesion and mobility].

Objective: To transfect nm23-H1 into the BcaCD885 cell lines in order to get safe high-efficiency and low-toxicity, and to find out whether nm23-H1 could affect the invasion and metastases ability of BcaCD885 cell lines.

Methods: Lipofect was used to transfect nm23-H1 into BcaCD885 cell lines; immunohistochemistry was used to detect the difference expression of nm23-H1 between transfected and non-transfected cell lines; then transwell-room and wash way were used to detect the difference of invasion and metastases ability between transfected and non-transfected cell lines.

Results: PCMV-NEO-BAM system gave the stability expression of nm23-H1; there was significant different NDPKA expression between transfected and non-transfected BcaCD885 cell lines; the invasion and metastases ability of transfected BcaCD885 cell lines decreased obviously.
