POLR1D silencing suppresses lung cancer cells proliferation and migration via inhibition of PI3K-Akt pathway
The most common type of cancer that leads to death worldwide is lung cancer. Despite significant surgery and chemotherapy improvements, lung cancer patient’s survival rate is still poor. The RNA polymerase I s… Read More
Ectopic cervical thymoma: a rare entity in the anterior neck
Thymoma is a rare malignancy with usual location in the antero-superior mediastinum. Ectopic cervical thymoma (ECT) is an extremely rare tumor that originates from ectopic tissue, and is caused by the aberrant… Read More
Delayed management of acute type A aortic dissection with concomitant coronary artery bypass graft
Pre-operative coronary angiography and concomitant, planned coronary artery bypass are infrequently performed with type A aortic dissection repair. We present a case in which pre-operative coronary computed to… Read More

“Decompression illness” on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly being used for critically ill patients with cardiopulmonary failure. Air in the ECMO circuit is an emergency, a rare but fatal complication.
Ac2-26 reduced the liver injury after cardiopulmonary bypass in rats via AKT1/GSK3β/eNOS pathway
About 10% of patients after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) would undergo acute liver injury, which aggravated the mortality of patients. Ac2-26 has been demonstrated to ameliorate organic injury by inhibiting in… Read More
Primary graft dysfunction in heart transplantation: the challenge to survival
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a life-threatening clinical condition with a high mortality rate, presenting as left, right, or biventricular dysfunction within the initial 24 h following heart transplantat… Read More
Long non-coding RNA MEG3 knockdown represses airway smooth muscle cells proliferation and migration via sponging miR-143-3p/FGF9 in asthma
Asthma is a respiratory disease characterized by airway remodeling. We aimed to find out the role and mechanism of lncRNA MEG3 in asthma.
