Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the most common histological subtype of thyroid cancer, accounts for between 80 and 90% of all thyroid cancer cases. Previous studies have suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are involved in the development of PTC. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether miR-144 inhibits cellular proliferation in PTC. The expression of miR-144 was detected i...

BACKGROUND As the global population ages, disabling hearing impairment (HI) have been increased rapidly. The impact of HI on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is of great importance to aid the development of strategic plans and to guide therapeutic interventions. PURPOSE To evaluate HRQoL in Korean adults with different degrees of HI using EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D) and EQ-visual a...

Neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic (HI) brain injury resulting in encephalopathy is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality with no effective treatment. Here we show that caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), an active component of propolis, administered either before or after an HI insult, significantly prevents HI-induced neonatal rat brain damage in the cortex, hippocampus and thalamus. In additio...

AIMS This study was to investigate the expression of microRNA (miR)-144 in malignant solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) tissues and peripheral blood, as well as the biological function of miR-144 in the occurrence and development of lung cancer. METHODS In this study, 39 malignant and 30 benign SPN patients were included. The expression of miR-144 was examined using quantitative real-time polyme...
