CircRNA_0078767 promotes osteosarcoma progression by increasing CDK14 expression through sponging microRNA-330-3p.

Circular RNA (circRNA)-associated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) mechanism have emerged as critical mechanism in cancer initiation and progression. However, the roles of the circRNA-microRNA (miRNA)-messenger RNA ceRNA network in osteosarcoma are still not fully characterized. In this study, therefore, circ_0078767-related ceRNA mechanism in osteosarcoma was studied.

Effective and direct control of neural TTS prosody by removing interactions between different attributes.

End-to-end TTS advancement has shown that synthesized speech prosody can be controlled by conditioning the decoder with speech prosody attribute labels. However, to annotate quantitatively the prosody patterns of a large set of training data is both time consuming and expensive. To use unannotated data, variational autoencoder (VAE) has been proposed to model individual prosody attribute as a random variable in the latent space.

LINC01278 is Highly Expressed in Osteosarcoma and Participates in the Development of Tumors by Mediating the miR-134-5p/KRAS Axis.

Purpose: There is increasing evidence that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs), produce a critical regulatory effect on osteosarcoma (OS). LINC01278, as a newly discovered lncRNA, is found to be highly expressed in OS, but its related mechanism remains unclear. This research, therefore, is designed to study the mechanism of LINC01278 in OS and to find potential targets for clinical use.

Topographical anatomy of the anterior cervical approach for c2-3 level.

Purpose: To develop a clinically relevant anterior cervical approach (ACA) to the C2-3 level.

Methods: Frequently encountered nerves [hypoglossal (HyN), internal (ISLN) and external superior laryngeal nerves (ESLN)] and vessels [lingual (LiA), superior laryngeal (SLA) and superior thyroid arteries (STA)] in the field of high ACA and the anatomic spatial markers [submandibular gland (SMG); sling for digastrics muscle (SDG); hyoid bone (HyB), and thyroid cartilage (ThC)] were evaluated using 18 fresh cadavers. The vertical distance of each structure at the carotid sheath and larynx and each disc for cervical level were measured from the suprasternal notch.

The significance of tibial and common peroneal nerves in nerve blocks.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to elucidate the anatomical location of tibial nerve (TN) and common peroneal nerve (CPN) in the popliteal crease for specific nerve block.

Methods: Fifty fresh specimens from 27 adult Korean cadavers (16 males and 11 females, age 35-87 years) were investigated. Five of the 27 cadavers were used to determine the depths of nerves in cross-section.

Intramuscular distribution of the phrenic nerve in human diaphragm as shown by Sihler staining.

Introduction: Intramuscular innervation of the human diaphragm has not been well described. The goal of this study was to elucidate the detailed intramuscular distribution of the phrenic nerve in the human diaphragm.

Methods: Fifteen human diaphragms were visualized using modified Sihler staining, and the detailed intramuscular phrenic nerve distribution was photographed and recorded.

Effective zone of botulinum toxin a injections in hallux claw toe syndrome: an anatomical study.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the anatomical location of the motor points of the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and brevis (FHB) muscles for an effective motor point block.

Methods: Twenty cadavers were used for this study. For the FHL, we identified the line between the medial and lateral epicondyle of the femur and the line joining the prominent point on the surface of the medial malleolus of the tibia and the lateral malleolus of the fibula.

Arterial anatomy of the gracilis muscle as determined by latex injection and glycerin transparency.

The gracilis muscle is widely used in reconstructive surgery, either as a pedicled flap or as a free microsurgical flap. The aim of this study was to demonstrate in detail the arterial anatomy of the gracilis muscle, particularly its intramuscular artery distribution, by using a method involving red latex injection and glycerin transparency, which makes muscle tissues quite transparent and allows direct visualization of the arterial anatomy. Twenty-four specimens of gracilis muscle were harvested after injecting 12 cadavers with red latex.

Anatomic localization of motor entry point of superficial peroneal nerve to peroneus longus and brevis muscles.

This study examined the anatomic location of the motor entry point (MEP) and branching point at the proximal and distal points of the tendon of the peroneal muscle by visual observation. Forty-three fresh legs of 25 adult bodies which had been donated to science were investigated in this study. The mean length of the reference line between the most proximal point of the head of the fibula (PHF) and the most distal point of the malleolus of the fibula (DMF) was 33.

Location of the motor entry point and intramuscular motor point of the tibialis posterior muscle: for effective motor point block.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the anatomical location of the motor entry point (MEP) and intramuscular motor point (IMP) of the tibialis posterior muscle for effective motor point block. Thirty-six fresh specimens from 20 adult Korean cadavers (11 males and 9 females) were investigated. The reference line between the most proximal-medial articular margin of the tibia (MPM) at the level of the knee joint and the most distal point of the malleolus of the tibia (MDM) on the surface were identified.

Localization of motor entry points and terminal intramuscular nerve endings of the musculocutaneous nerve to biceps and brachialis muscles.

To determine the 3D location of the intramuscular motor nerve endings of the biceps brachii and brachialis, we identified from 56 fresh cadaveric arms the regions where the intramuscular branches were most densely located in relation to a reference line connecting the medial epicondyle of humerus and the coracoid process. For the biceps, these points were most densely distributed at a length from 64.6 to 70.
