Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the world. Advances in early detection crucial to enable timely curative surgery have been made in recent years. Cost-benefit profiles of lung cancer screening in smokers by low-dose computed tomography are still under evaluation. In particular, the high false-positive rates of low-dose computed tomography, together with the issue of overdiag...

cardiovascular disease has become the main factor of death and birth defects in the world. there are some therapeutic structures and drugs for curative and palliative therapy of the disease, but to the aim of accessing reliable therapy or to postpone onset of disease, especially for individuals with heritable coronary artery disease in their pedigree genetic engineering technologies are making ...

Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) has been successfully used with TaqMan assays to assess gene expression through the quantification of mRNA and miRNA. Recently, a new ddPCR system that can also run DNA-binding dye-based assays has been developed but it has not yet been tested for miRNA. We tested and compared the feasibility of quantifying miRNA with the new QX200 Droplet Digital PCR system when use...

Circulating miRNAs have been shown as promising biomarkers for various pathologic conditions. The aim of this study was to clarify that circulating miR-1 and miR-126 in human plasma might be useful as biomarkers in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In our study, after pre-test, two candidate miRNAs were detected by using real-time RT-PCR. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentrations were measured ...

To investigate the effect of pristimerin on gefitinib resistance in lung cancer cells and its regulation microRNA-936. Lung cell HCC827 was cultured vitro, resistant HCC827/gefitinib established were randomly assigned to control group, pristimerin-L pristimerin-M pristimerin-H gefitinib+pristimerin gefitinib+microRNA-negative gefitinib+microRNA-936 gefitinib+pristimerin+anti-microRNA negative g...

OBJECTIVES Liver biopsies are the current gold standard in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) diagnosis. Their invasive nature, however, still carries an increased risk for patients' health. The development of non-invasive diagnostic tools to differentiate between bland steatosis (NAFL) and NASH remains crucial. The aim of this study is the evaluation of investigated circulating microRNAs in ...

To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of vitexicarpin on biological behavior colorectal cancer cells is objective study. The human epithelial cell line Caco-2 were divided into control group, low, middle high dose groups vitexicarpin, plasmid cloning DNA-circ_0000419 DNA anti-microRNA-224 anti-microRNA-224-negative vitexicarpin+small interfering-circ_0000419 group vitexicarpin+micro...
