Aim: To investigate the relationship between the expression of highly expressed protein in cancer (Hec 1) and infiltration, metastasis and prognosis of human primary gallbladder carcinoma (PGC).

Methods: The expression of Hec 1 in was detected 108 patients with PGC by SABC immunohistochemistry with 15 cases of chronic cholecystitis as control. Then, a 5 year follow-up was carnedout in 96 out of 108 patients to analyze the correlation between Hec 1 and prognosis of the patients.

Results: The clinical pathological characteristics of PGC and clinical outcome of the patients were associated with the expression of Hec 1. Hec 1 was highhy expressed in cancer tissues with lymph node metastasis and poor differentiation. Especially, a statistical correlation was found with more advanced Nevin stages of PGC (P < 0.05). Moreover, the 5-year survival rate of the patients with PGC whose expression of Hec 1 was positive was significantly lower than that of the patients without Hec 1 expression (P < 0.01).

Conclusion: Hec 1 may be associated with the development, infiltration and metastasis of PGC. The combination of Hec 1 expression in cancer tissues with clinical staging may faliliate the auurate predication of patients' prognosis.

Background/objectives: In this study, HECP2k polymer, polyethylenimine2k (PEI2k)-modified hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) was utilized to form the nanocomplexes with receptor activator of nuclear factor k-B (RANK) siRNA and zoledronate (Zol) for osteoclast inhibition. HECP2k/(RANK siRNA + Zol) nanocomplexes prepared by simple mixing were anticipated to overcome the low transfection efficiency of siRNA and the low bioavailability of Zol.

Methods: The characterization of both HECP2k/(pDNA + Zol) nanocomplexes and HECP2k/(RANK siRNA + Zol) nanocomplexes was performed.

Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) is a rare tumor with a high 5-year mortality rate. However, proteomic technologies have not yet been utilized to identify SNSCC-associated proteins, which could be used as biomarkers. In this study, we aimed to discover a biomarker to predict SNSCC patients using proteomic analysis integrated with machine learning models.
