Biological functions of Circular RNA_LARP4/ Upstream frameshift 1 in development of gastric cancer.

Recently, the progression of gastric cancer (GC), as one of the most ordinary malignant tumors, has been reported to be associated with circular RNAs. This study aimed to identify the role of circular RNA_LARP4 in GC. We performed real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) in 46 paired GC patients and GC cell lines to detect the expression of circular RNA_LARP4.

No increased risk of perforation during colonoscopy in patients undergoing propofol versus traditional sedation: A meta-analysis.

Background And Aims: The safety of propofol sedation during colonoscopy remains unclear, and we performed a meta-analysis to assess the risk of perforation in patients undergoing propofol vs. traditional sedation.

Methods: MEDLINE, CBM, VIP, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were searched up to December 2016.
