Increasing evidence has indicated that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) participated in regulating pathophysiological processes. However, the association among MEG3, miR-106b and caspase-8 remained unclear. Methods: We employed the mouse model of acute glaucoma and oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD)/reoxygenation cellular model for in vivo and in vitro experiments. The miRNA inhibitor and small interfering RNA (siRNA) were transfected into primary retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) for miRNA and lncRNA knockdown. The interaction among MEG3, miR-106b and caspase-8 was assessed by RNA immunoprecipitation, RNA pull down and luciferase reporter assay. The changes in gene expression were assessed by quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot. Cell apoptosis analysis was performed using flow cytometry. Results: MEG3 expression was increased in the mouse model of acute glaucoma and OGD-treated RGCs. MEG3 knockdown alleviated RGC apoptosis following OGD. RNA immunoprecipitation and RNA pull down displayed that MEG3 directly targeted miR-106b, while luciferase reporter assay confirmed the interaction between miR-106b and caspase-8. MEG3 silencing significantly relieved RGC apoptosis via downregulating miR-106b target gene caspase-8. Conclusion: MEG3 increased the apoptosis of glaucomatous RGC via miR-106b/caspase-8 axis.

This study aimed to investigate preoperative predictive factors of occult and frank LHCIBR. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study concerning patients operated on consecutively for liver hydatidosis for 2 years. Patients were divided into three groups: who had no intrabiliary rupture, patients who had an occult rupture and patients who had a frank rupture. Results: We recorded 56 patients with 82 liver hydatid cysts. LHCIBR was occult in 16 cysts and frank in four cysts. Bivariate analysis identified jaundice and cyst size as associated with frank LHCIBR and US cyst type II or III, recurrent cyst, and size of the hydatid cyst as associated with occult LHCIBR. In the multivariate analysis, we retained jaundice, cyst size > 6.5 cm and duration of symptoms > 45 days as significant predictive factors of frank rupture and cyst size > 6.5 cm, number of recurrences ≥ 3, cyst type II or III, leukocytosis > 9.000/mm3 and eosinophilia > 5.5% as significant of occult rupture. Conclusion: Misdiagnosis LHCIBR can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. They were avoided by predicting cyst rupture, correct timing and type surgery, proper drainage and preoperative intensive care of patients.

Methods: The expression of CASC15, miR-139-5p and caspase-3 were detected by qRT-PCR. Western blot was used to analyze the level of apoptosis-related proteins. Flow cytometry was used to measure the apoptosis of SAR01/04l cells treated with UV irradiation. Results: The expression of CASC15 and caspase-3 in the lens of ARC was higher than that in normal lens, but the expression of miR-139-5p had opposite trend. The level of caspase-3 and Bax were increased and Bcl-2 was decreased in ARC group. In addition, CASC15 negatively regulated miR-139-5p expression and promoted SAR01/04l cell apoptosis. CASC15 could combine with miR-139-5p, and miR-139-5p could combine with caspase-3 3’-UTR. Furthermore, pcDNA-caspase-3 could reverse the inhibitory effect of si-CASC15 and miR139-5p mimic on SRA01/04 cell apoptosis.

This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of PD-L1 in osteosarcoma. Methods: The pooled HR and 95%CI were calculated to measure the prognostic role of PD-L1 for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The odds ratio (OR) and 95%CI were used to evaluate the correlation of PD-L1 and clinicopathological features. Publication bias was measured using Begg’s funnel plots. Results: A total of 9 studies with 538 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results were HR=1.78, 95%CI=1.36-2.32, p<0.001 for OS and HR=1.24, 95%CI=0.31-5.07, p=0.761 for DFS.

There was no effective treatment strategy, especially for complex ones. Methods: Between 2013 and 2015, 22 patients presenting with complex TIF lesions underwent posterior approach combined with TIF posterior wall opening and spinal reconstruction were retrospectively reviewed. After ascertaining the precise location of complex TIF lesions, incisions should allow for exposure of the lesion’s adjacent vertebral pedicle screw entry point. The adjacent pair of vertebral lamina and spinous processes is typically removed in a single piece, such that the intra-spinal section can be fully exposed. The posterior wall of the TIF is subsequently opened, allowing the intra-TIF and extra-spinal sections to be sufficiently exposed. Subsequently, spinal reconstruction at the appropriate level is required. When the ventral spinal column is intact, dorsal reconstruction is typically performed using the screw and rod fixation technique (SRFT). After the dorsal surface of the spine has been burnished, the removed vertebral lamina and spinous process are rendered granular to allow reconstruction of the TIF and fusion of adjacent vertebrae. Results: All patients presenting with complex TIF lesions were successfully treated with this approach. No patient had experienced any complications arising from SRFT use. No patient suffered intraspinal infection, incision splits, or CSF leakage in the short-term (between 1 and 3 months) or fixation loosening or spinal instability in the long-term (6–24 months). Imaging studies confirmed that the TIF and spinal reconstruction outcomes were favorable. Conclusion: A posterior approach combined with TIF posterior wall opening and spinal reconstruction is a rapid, effective, and reliable method in the treatment of complex TIF lesions. This technique can provide total lesion resection while reconstructing spinal stability.

However, few studies have attempted to demonstrate the roles of TAMs in radiotherapy for suppressing the progression of lung cancer. Methods : TAMs were separated from C57BL/6 mice which were inoculated Lewis lung cancer cells and exposed to radiation therapy, then the expression of maker genes of polarized macrophages and lincRNA-p21 were analyzed using qPCR. Cell viability and invasion of Lewis cells cultured with TAMs exposed to radiation therapy were detected with CKK-8 assay and cell invasion assay, respectively. Ad-LincRNA-p21 and Ad-Si-LincRNA-p21 were used to examine the effect of lincRNA-p21 on TAMs. Results : Radiotherapy effectively suppressed the tumor growth in C57BL/6 mice transplanted with Lewis lung cancer cell. Radiotherapy promoted the polarized of TEMs into M1 macrophage and up-regulated the level of lincRNA-p21 in TEMs. Moreover, TEMs transfected with Ad-LincRNA-p21 presented anti-tumor effect and Ad-Si-LincRNA-p21 might reverse the effect of radiotherapy on tumor growth. Conclusion : Our results suggest that radiotherapy promotes the polarization of TEMs into M1 macrophage to suppress lung cancer progression and lincRNA-p21 plays an important role in the radiotherapy treatment for lung cancer.
