Analysis of the factors affecting lymph node metastasis and the prognosis of rectal neuroendocrine tumors.
To analyze the factors affecting lymph node metastasis and the prognosis of rectal neuroendocrine tumors after surgical treatment. ⋯ The surgical approach of rectal neuroendocrine tumors should be selected based on a comprehensive consideration of factors such as tumor size, depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis.

Case ReportsMultfocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia in a Chinese man masquerading as miliary tuberculosis.
Multifocal Micronodular Pneumocyte Hyperplasia (MMPH) is a rare and histologically, distinctive pulmonary manifestation of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) characterized by numerous and extensive proliferative lesions of type II pneumocytes similar to atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) or non-mucinous adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). We reported MMPH in a 38-year-old Chinese man with TSC masquerading for 16 months as miliary tuberculosis and discussed the differential diagnosis.

MicroRNA-153 expression and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer.
miR-153 has been found to be significantly decreased in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues; however, its clinical significance has not been investigated. ⋯ Decreased expression of miR-153 might be a potential unfavorable prognostic factor for patients with NSCLC, and further studies would be needed to prove our findings.

CGRP 4218T/C polymorphism correlated with postoperative analgesic effect of fentanyl.
Our study aimed at evaluating the association between α-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) 4218T/C polymorphism and the patient-controlled analgesic (PCA) effect of fentanyl on Chinese Han population. ⋯ CGRP 4218T/C polymorphism may be associated with the postoperative fentanyl consumption for analgesia.

Resveratrol attenuates spinal cord injury-induced inflammatory damage in rat lungs.
Spinal cord injury (SCI)-induced systemic inflammatory response affects multiple organs outside the spinal cord. Treatment options for such complications are lacking. We studied the potential protective effects of resveratrol on SCI-induced inflammatory damage in rat lungs. ⋯ Resveratrol significantly reduced neutrophil infiltration and production of inflammatory mediators. Resveratrol treatment was accompanied by up-regulation of expression of SIRT1 and suppression of NF-κB activity in pulmonary tissues. These data suggest that resveratrol may protect the lungs from SCI-induced inflammatory damage, and could be used as a therapeutic option against pulmonary problems after SCI.
