Background: Use of local anesthesia and conscious sedation with a combination of a sedative and anesthetic drug during a surgical procedure is an approach designed to avoid intubation, which produces fewer adverse events compared to general anesthesia. In the present study, a comparison was made between the efficacy and safety of remimazolam besylate and propofol for facial plastic surgery.

Objectives: The objective was to evaluate the clinical efficacy, comfort, and incidence of adverse events of remimazolam compared with propofol combined with alfentanil in outpatient facial plastic surgery.

Background: Lysine demethylase 5C (KDM5C) has been implicated in the development of several human cancers. This study aims to investigate the role of KDM5C in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) and explore the associated molecular mechanism.

Methods: Bioinformatics tools were employed to predict the target genes of KDM5C in CRC.

Purpose: To assess the association between intestinal venous blood (IVB) circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and clinicopathological parameters in stage I-III colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.

Methods: Participants were retrospectively retrieved, who were admitted to our hospital or took annual physical exams between December 1, 2015 and December 31, 2018. A negative enrichment-immunofluorescence in situ hybridization (NE-imFISH) technique was used to isolate and identify CTCs.

Background: To explore the effect of applying a comprehensive unit-based safety program (CUSP) in the intrahospital transfer of patients with critical diseases.

Methods: A total of 426 critically ill patients in the first affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from August 2018 to February 2019 were divided into two groups according to the time of admission. Overall, 202 patients in the control group were treated with the routine transfer method, and 224 patients in the observational group were treated with the transfer method based on the CUSP model.

Background: Mucin 16 (MUC16), a cell surface-associated mucin, has been implicated to be upregulated in a large repertoire of malignances. However, its function in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is unknown.

Aims: Here, we explored the regulatory role of MUC16 in CRC.

Colorectal cancer is a major public health problem and fourth guiding cause of cancer-induced mortality worldwide. The five-year survival rate for patients with colorectal cancer remains poor, and almost half of colorectal cancer patients present recurrence and die within five years. The increasing studies showed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) was involved in colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that the alternative splicing (AS) signature plays a role in the carcinogenesis and prognosis of various cancers. However, the prognostic role of AS in gastric cancer is not clear and needs to be clarified. MATERIAL AND METHODS To identify the differentially expressed AS (DEAS) events, we performed a differential expression analysis between normal and tumor tissue.
