lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 Promotes the Retinoblastoma Cell Viability and Migration by Sponging miR-31.

Background: The purpose of this study was to explore the functions of FOXD2-AS1 and miR-31 in retinoblastoma. . An RT-qPCR assay was applied to calculate the mRNA levels of FOXD2-AS1, miR-31, and PAX9.

Serum IL-6 as a marker of disease progression in interstitial nephritis.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) change in disease progression of interstitial nephritis.

Methods: This is a retrospective study. From November 2017 to November 2019, 87 patients with interstitial nephritis treated in our hospital were enrolled and divided into an acute group (n=42) and a chronic group (n=45) based on pathological results of renal biopsies.

LINC00565 Enhances Proliferative Ability in Endometrial Carcinoma by Downregulating KLF9.

Objective: To detect LINC00565 expression level in endometrial carcinoma (EC) samples and cell lines, and the correlations between LINC00565 and clinical features of EC patients. After intervening LINC00565, the underlying mechanism about proliferative ability in EC cell lines is observed.

Methods: Relative levels of LINC00565 and KLF9 in 52 paired EC and paracancerous tissues were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Case report of pulmonary endometriosis and review of the literature.

Pulmonary endometriosis is a rare form of thoracic endometriosis. We herein describe a 29-year-old woman with recurrent hemoptysis associated with her menstrual cycle. The patient had a 4-month history of catamenial hemoptysis without thoracic pain, respiratory embarrassment, cough, fever, night sweating, or loss of appetite.

[Contribution of fertilization development to yield production and its geographic differentiation].

The results of long-term field experiments at three stations in different areas of China indicated that the contribution of fertilization to crop yield was significantly affected by the thermal condition of climate and the fertilization system. In the case of optimum fertilization, the largest contribution rate was 0.31 (average of fourteen years) at Hailun Station (in temperate zone), 0.

[Effect of different fertilization system on soil nutrient budget].

A long-term experiment was carried out on a damp palm soil about ten years under the condition of nutrient recycling and reutilization. The quantity of crop nutrients transferred from the system, and the nutrient budget of N, P and K in soil were studied. The results of a ten-year field experiment indicated that the use of nutrients recycled in the farming systems with appropriate amount of fertilizers applied according to the soil nutrient supplying ability could not only produce high crop yield, but also balance the soil nutrient budget, so that, there were no significant surplus of nutrients (mainly inorganic nitrogen) which might emit or leach out of soil into environment.
