Preeclampsia (PE) is a significant threat to all pregnancies that is highly associated with maternal mortality and developmental disorders in infants. However, the etiopathogenesis of this condition remains unclear. This study aims to explore the regulatory roles of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and the mediated competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA) in the etiopathogenesis of PE through analysis of lncRNA expression patterns in PE and healthy pregnant women (HPW), as well as the construction of lncRNA-mediated ceRNA regulatory networks using bioinformatics.

Objective: Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant skeleton tumor that derives from mesenchymal cells. Emerging evidences have identified the vital role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the development of osteosarcoma. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA gastric carcinoma highly expressed transcript 1 (GHET1) in osteosarcoma progression.

Objective: To compare the effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy on the prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer using propensity score matching method.

Methods: Clinical data of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer undergoing open D2 radical gastrectomy between January 2012 and December 2014 at the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University were analyzed retrospectively. Sixty-five patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) were allocated into the NAC group and 1243 patients receiving postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) were allocated into the AC group.
