Prognostic significance of long noncoding RNA Z38 as a candidate biomarker in breast cancer.

Background: Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) Z38 has been shown to promote cell proliferation and tumorigenesis in breast cancer. However, expression pattern and prognostic value of lncRNA Z38 in breast cancer patients remain elusive.

Methods: The expression levels of SPRY4-IT1 in 110 self-paired specimens of breast cancer and adjacent normal breast tissues were measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and its correlation with overall survival of patients with breast cancer was further statistically analyzed.

[Effect of oral administration of tribendimidine at different dosages against Trichinella spiralis encapsulated larvae in mice].

Objective: To observe the efficacy of oral administration of tribendimidine (TBD) at different dosages against Trichinella spiralis encapsulated larvae in murine striated muscle.

Methods: A total of 88 BALB/c mice were divided equally into 11 groups. Each mouse was infected orally with 50 T spiralis encapsulated larvae.
