Cancer genomics and transcriptomics studies have provided a large volume of data that enables to test of hypotheses based on real data from cancer patients. Ezrin (encoded by the EZR gene) is a highly expressed protein in cancer that contributes to linking the actin cytoskeleton to the cell membrane and signal transduction pathways involved in oncogenesis and disease progression. NSC305787 is a pharmacological ezrin inhibitor with potential antineoplastic effects. In the present study, the authors prospected EZR mRNA levels in a pan-cancer analysis and identified potential cancers that could benefit from anti-EZR therapies. ⋯ The present findings provide promising evidence that ezrin may be a molecular target in the treatment of cervical and gastric carcinoma.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the GSH effect on functional and histological recovery after experimental spinal cord injury in rats. ⋯ This study demonstrated that using glutathione in experimental spinal trauma can lead to better functional recovery and improved axonal regeneration rate in Wistar rats submitted to experimental spinal cord injury.

This thesis aims to provide patients with a preventive and therapeutic basis by analyzing IgE level influencing factors of common allergens for Allergic Rhinitis (AR). ⋯ IgE level varies according to allergic history, home-raised plants & animals, gender, furniture renewal, asthma, and ages for patients with different allergens including cockroach, mold, mugwort, peanut, egg and crab. For each kind of allergen, the IgE levels react differently to different influencing factors, thus requiring a thorough analysis of each AR patient's allergen and allergenic factors.

This study explored the pharmacological mechanism of Tanshinone IIA (TAN IIA) in the treatment of Osteoarthritis (OA), which provided a certain reference for further research and clinical application of Tan IIA in OA. ⋯ TAN IIA inhibits PI3K/Akt and NF-κB pathways by down-regulating FBXO11 expression, alleviates chondrocyte apoptosis and inflammation, and delays the progression of OA.

The newly discovered CircUBE2D2 has been shown to abnormally upregulate and promote cancer progression in a variety of cancers. The present study explored circUBE2D2 (hsa_circ_0005728) in Ovarian Cancer (OC) progression. ⋯ CircUBE2D2 regulates the expression of HMGB1 by acting as a sponge of ceRNA as miR-885-5p, thereby promoting the control of OC cell proliferation and migration and inhibiting cell apoptosis. Targeting CircUBE2D2 could serve as a new potential treatment strategy for OC.
