Objective: To investigate the differential expression of miR-21, miR-126, miR-143 and miR-373 in normal cervical tissue, cervical cancer tissue and Hela cell.
Methods: The expressions of miR-21, miR-126, miR-143 and miR-373 were detected by real-time PCR in cervical cancer tissue, cervical tissue of benign uterine tumor and Hela cell.
Results: High expression of miR-21 was observed in cervical cancer and Hela cell, while low expression was observed in normal cervical tissue. The relative quantification of miR-21 in cerveical cancer was 11.3196 times that of miR-21 in normal cervical tissue (P < 0.05). The expression levels of miR-143 and miR-373 in cervical cancer and Hela cell were lower than those of normal cervical tissue. The relative quantification of miR-143 in cerveical cancer was 0.1553 times that of normal cervical tissue (P < 0.05), and the relative quantification of miR-373 in cerveical cancer was 0.4907 times that of normal cervical tissue (P < 0.05). The expression of miR-126 had no significant difference among cervical cancer tissue, Hela cell and normal cervical tissue (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: miRNAs are closely related to the occurrence and regulation of cervical cancer. The high expression of miR-21 in cervical cancer and Hela cell indicate that it may play a possible role of oncogenes, while miR-143 and miR-373 with low expression may play the role of tumor suppressor genes.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in Indonesia, where traditional herbal treatments like <i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> (andaliman) are culturally used. Investigating protein biomarkers such as E7, pRb, EGFR and p16 can help assess the efficacy of these treatments. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> There were 5 groups in this study: 2 control groups (C- and C+) and 3 treatment groups (each receiving one of three doses).

Objective: To comprehensively investigate the predictive value of thyroid hormone sensitivity parameters for cervical lymph node metastasis in patients diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) undergoing total thyroidectomy and neck lymph node dissection.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving patients diagnosed with DTC and evaluated for cervical lymph node metastasis. Relevant demographic, tumour, lymph node and thyroid hormone sensitivity parameter data were extracted from medical records and laboratory reports.
Background: The use of liquid biopsy of total cell-free DNA (cfDNA) to identify otherwise undetectable cancers has attracted interest; however, its efficacy remains unknown. We explored whether analysis using total cfDNA is efficacious for Japanese patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Methods: We collected total cfDNA from nine patients with OSCC preoperatively, 1 month postoperatively, and every 3 months thereafter to analyze this association.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an indicator and diverse endocrine syndrome that combines different metabolic defects with clinical, physiological, biochemical, and metabolic factors. Obesity, visceral adiposity and abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance (IR), elevated blood pressure, endothelial dysfunction, and acute or chronic inflammation are the risk factors associated with MetS. Abdominal obesity, a hallmark of MetS, highlights dysfunctional fat tissue and increased risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Intraoperative assessment of tumor margins can be challenging; as neoplastic cells may extend beyond the margins seen on preoperative imaging. Real-time intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) has emerged as a valuable tool for delineating tumor boundaries during surgery. However, concerns remain regarding its ability to accurately distinguish between tumor margins, peritumoral edema, and normal brain tissue.
