MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been regarded as potential biomarkers in evaluating various diseases, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension and cancers. However, sensitive and reliable miRNA detection is still a challenge due to the low amplification efficiency and high background signal. Herein, we developed a colorimetric method for miRNA detection utilizing the self-priming-initiated color reaction loaded on a rolling circle amplification (RCA) product.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can serve as potential biological targets for early screening, targeted therapy, and prognosis in ovarian cancer (OC). However, sensitive and reliable quantification and identification of miRNA remain a huge challenge. Herein, we proposed a simple and reliable approach for the ultra-sensitive detection of miRNA by integrating endonuclease-III (Exo-III) assisted signal recycle, primer exchange reaction (PER), and hairpin catalytic reaction (HCR).

Objective: Lactulose is effective in the treatment and prevention of overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE), but there are limited data on its use on microbiota in relations to minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) recovery. The present study aimed to assess the efficacy of lactulose in recovery of MHE in aspects of cognitive function, quality of life, and impact on intestinal microbiota.

Methods: This multicenter, open-label randomized controlled trial was conducted in 11 teaching hospitals in China.
