Predictive factors of epiretinal membrane in complicated rhegmatogenous retinal detachment tamponaded with silicone oil.

Aim: To determine the incidence and predictive factors for epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation in eyes with complicated primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) tamponaded with silicone oil (SO).

Methods: This retrospective case-control study included 141 consecutive patients with (51 eyes) and without (90 eyes) ERM formation after primary pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and SO tamponade for complicated RRD. The risk factors for ERM were assessed using logistic regression analysis.

MicroRNA-152-3p protects neurons from oxygen-glucose-deprivation/reoxygenation-induced injury through upregulation of Nrf2/ARE antioxidant signaling by targeting PSD-93.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of ischemic stroke, a condition that affects neuronal survival. However, the precise role of miRNAs in regulating neuronal injury during ischemic stroke remains largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the potential role of miR-152-3p in regulating oxygen-glucose-deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced neuronal injury in vitro.

Integrated Bioinformatics Analysis for Identificating the Therapeutic Targets of Aspirin in Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Purpose: We explored the mechanism of aspirin in SCLC by dissecting many publicly available databases.

Methods And Results: Firstly, 11 direct protein targets (DPTs) of aspirin were identified by DrugBank 5.0.

Transcriptome-wide association study identifies multiple genes and pathways associated with pancreatic cancer.

Aim: To identify novel candidate genes for pancreatic cancer.

Methods: We performed a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) analysis of pancreatic cancer (PC). GWAS summary data were driven from the published studies of PC, totally involving 558 542 SNPs in 1896 individuals with pancreatic cancer and 1939 healthy controls.

Sinomenine hydrochloride sensitizes cervical cancer cells to ionizing radiation by impairing DNA damage response.

The use of plant‑based compounds derived from traditional medicine to improve human diseases has been gaining momentum, due to their high bioavailability and moderate adverse effects. Sinomenine is one such biomonomer alkali compound derived from Sinomenium acutum and is known for its anti‑inflammatory and antitumor effects. However, the molecular mechanism(s) of its antitumor properties are not fully characterized.

Suppression of Disheveled-Axin Domain Containing 1 (DIXDC1) by MicroRNA-186 Inhibits the Proliferation and Invasion of Retinoblastoma Cells.

Recent evidence shows that Disheveled-Axin domain containing 1 (DIXDC1) is dysregulated in various cancers. However, the role of DIXDC1 in retinoblastoma (RB) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the biological function of DIDXDC1 in RB and the way in which its expression is regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs).
