Objective: Previous works have outlined the pivotal involvement of long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) in cancer progression, while the efficiency of LINC01234 in pancreatic cancer remained obscure. The purpose of this research is to unravel the regulatory mechanism of LINC01234 in pancreatic cancer via modulating microRNA (miR)-513a-3p and hexose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (H6PD).
Methods: Pancreatic cancer cells were cultured and clinical tissue specimens were collected.

Objective: To explore the relationship between esophagus cancer patients and both environmental and genetic factors, through analyzing the data on birth orders from esophagus cancer patients of Shanxi province.
Methods: Both Greenwood and Haldane methods on birth order were used to study the 1101 cases with esophagus cancer from Shanxi province. All the patients had received surgery and were diagnosed, by pathological evidence.

Objective: To analyze the different risks of cardia neoplasms in the immediate relatives of the cardia cancer patients, through a case-control study.
Methods: A case-control study was adopted on 772 cases and 772 controls, and relative risk (RR) were measured to compare the results from paternal or matrilineal groups.
Results: (1) Risk of the 1st grade kinship to the male cardia-cancer-patient group was obviously higher than that of the control group with RR = 2.
