TNFAIP8 influences the motor function in mice after spinal cord injury (SCI) through meditating inflammation dependent on AKT.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating disease and causes tissue loss and neurologic dysfunction, contributing to high morbidity and disability among human. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms still remain unclear. Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) is a member of the TNFAIP8/TIPE family, and has been implicated in different diseases associated with inflammation, infection, and immunity.

Skin Closure Tape and Surgical Staples in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Staples closure technology has been widely used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and achieved good results. In recent years, a new type of material called skin closure tape (SCT) has been applied to TKA which also showed good treatment results. However, since it is still not clear yet which one is better, this paper collects literatures for statistical analysis so as to provide evidence for the use of SCT in TKA.

Effects of miR-330-3p on Invasion, Migration and EMT of Gastric Cancer Cells by Targeting PRRX1-Mediated Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway.

Background: miRNA, as a biological marker, had more and more attention in recent years due to the important role it plays in cancer. Currently, there are extensive studies on miRNAs, among which miR-330-3p is reported to be implicated in the pathophysiological processes of various cancers. However, little progress has been made in the mechanism of miR-330-3p in gastric cancer.

Construction of microRNA-messenger networks for human osteosarcoma.

Osteosarcoma is the most common bone tumor in children and young adults. Although the microRNAs (miRNA) expression analyses of osteosarcoma have been performed previously, the construction of miRNA-messenger RNA (mRNA) networks for osteosarcoma is needed. This study aimed to identify osteosarcoma-related miRNAs through analyzing the microarray datasets and to construct the regulatory network of miRNA-mRNA for human osteosarcoma.
