[Ultrasound-guided needle knife release with different pathways for carpal tunnel syndrome: a randomized controlled trial].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided needle knife release with different pathways for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Methods: Sixty CTS patients were randomly divided into a transverse group and a longitudinal group, with 30 patients in each group. The transverse group received the needle knife release under ultrasound above and below the median nerve along the short axis, while the longitudinal group received the needle knife release under ultrasound above the median nerve along the long axis.

Increased expression of long noncoding RNA GAS6-AS2 promotes proliferation and inhibits apoptosis of melanoma cells via upregulating GAS6 expression.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are frequently aberrantly expressed and involved in many cancers, including melanoma. GAS6-AS2 was a recently identified cancer-related lncRNA. However, the expression, roles, and functional mechanisms of GAS6-AS2 in melanoma remain unknown.
