Oncogene DEK is highly expressed in lung cancerous tissues and positively regulates cell proliferation as well as invasion.

DEK is a protein ubiquitously expressed in multicellular organisms as well as certain unicellular organisms. It is associated with the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis, senescence, self-renewal and DNA repairing. In tumor cells it is associated with the carcinogenesis process, however there have been few previous studies into the expression of DEK in lung cancer.

Operative vs. nonoperative treatment for comminuted proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients: a current meta-analysis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of operative vs. nonoperative treatment for comminuted proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients regarding clinical results, complications, and additional surgeries.

Methods: Six electronic databases (Medline, Embase, Clinical, Ovid, Biosos, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) were systematically searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
