Results showed that depletion of miR-342-3p abolished the inhibitory effects of OIP5-AS1 knockdown on pancreatic cancer cell growth. The expression of Ki67, AGR2, cyclinD1, CDK4, CDK6, p-AKT, and p-ERK1/2 was reversed by silencing of miR-342-3p in pancreatic cancer cells with OIP5-AS1 knockdown. Further, knockdown of OIP5-AS1 suppressed tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model of pancreatic cancer. OIP5-AS1 induced pancreatic cancer progression via activation of AKT and ERK signaling pathways. Therefore, we demonstrate that OIP5-AS1 functions as oncogene in pancreatic cancer and its downregulation inhibits pancreatic cancer growth by sponging miR-342-3p via targeting AGR2 through inhibiting AKT/ERK signaling pathway.BACKGROUND The personality traits of endoscopists have been suggested to affect the adenoma detection rate (ADR). We thus evaluated the relationship between endoscopists' personality traits and the ADR during colonoscopy using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2). METHODS In total, 1230 patients (asymptomatic and aged 50-80 years) who underwent screening or surveillance (≥ 5 years) colonoscopy were recruited from 13 university hospitals by 20 endoscopists between September 2015 and December 2017. We retrospectively measured the ADR, polyp detection rate (PDR), and number of adenomas per colonoscopy (APC). All 20 endoscopists completed all 567 true/false MMPI-2 items. RESULTS The overall mean colonoscopy withdrawal time, PDR, ADR, and APC were 7.3 ± 2.8 min, 55%, 45.3%, and 0.97 ± 1.58, respectively. No significant difference was observed in the MMPI-2 clinical scales (e.g., hypochondriasis and psychasthenia), content scales (e.g., obsessiveness and type A character), or supplementary scales (e.g., dominance and social responsibility) between the high ADR group (ADR ≥45%, n = 10) and the low ADR group (ADR less then 45%, n = 10). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the ADR was associated significantly with patient age and sex. The ADR was related significantly to endoscopists' colonoscopy experience and the per-minute increase in the colonoscopy withdrawal time (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.06-1.38, p = 0.005). In a logistic regression analysis adjusted for patient factors, the ADR was associated significantly with ego strength (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.00-1.09, p = 0.044), as measured by the MMPI-2. CONCLUSIONS With the exception of ego strength, the endoscopists' personality traits were not associated with adenoma or polyp detection.INTRODUCTION Lipomas are the most common non-epithelial benign tumors of the gastrointestinal tract with a reported incidence in the colon of 0.2-4.4%. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ly2874455.html These lesions are usually asymptomatic with a typical endoscopic finding of a smooth, slightly yellow, circular, polyp that is sessile in most cases, covered with normal colonic mucosa. AREAS COVERED There are rare reported cases of alterations of the overlying mucosa such as hyperplasia, atrophy, adenomatous changes, and necrosis. EXPERT COMMENTARY We report a rare case of pedunculated colonic lipoma of the transverse colon covered with hyperplastic and ulcerated epithelium easily misdiagnosed as an adenomatous lesion.PURPOSE Chromatic visual evoked potentials (cVEP) primarily reflect the parvocellular visual pathway function, which has been shown to be predominantly affected in demyelinating disease (DD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate cVEP responses and to compare them with other structural and functional findings in young patients with DD. METHODS Thirty patients (8-28 years of age) with DD with or without a history of optic neuritis (ON) were investigated. Twenty-five eyes had at least one episode of ON (ON-group) and 35 eyes had no clinically evident episode of ON (nON-group). OCT imaging was performed using a high-resolution spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT), measuring retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. Pattern reversal electroretinography (PERG) and visual evoked potentials (VEP) were recorded according to the ISCEV standard, and chromatic visual evoked potentials (cVEP) were recorded to isoluminant red-green (R-G) and blue-yellow (B-Y) 7° circle stimuli, composed of horizontal sinusoidal gratings witB-Y stimulation were slightly more affected in the ON-group (4.0 ± 3.8 vs. 5.9 ± 3.3 µm; p = 0.02). A positive correlation between cVEP amplitude and RNFL thickness and between cVEP amplitude and PERG N95 amplitude, as well as a strong negative correlation between cVEP amplitude and P100 latency was observed. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that cVEP indicate early abnormality of parvocellular pathway function in eyes with or without a history of optic neuritis and can be used together with other structural and functional parameters to evaluate visual pathway integrity of young patients with DD.PURPOSE Multi-syphilitic gummas in pituitary and cerebellopontine angle (CPA) are extremely rare and easily misdiagnosed especially in patients with antibiotic abuse. We write this paper for clinicians to better understanding of cerebral gumma. METHODS We report a patient with syphilitic gummas in pituitary and left CPA. The definite diagnosis is made by histopathology after surgery. RESULTS A 49-years-old woman suffered from headaches with tinnitus and hypoacusis in left ear. She was diagnosed with syphilis but untreated. There were no chancre and rashes in the course of disease. Syphilis serological tests were positive. Brain MRI found two masses located in the left CPA and hypophysial fossa. The two masses were removed successively. We found a large number of Treponemapallidum in paraffin-embedded specimens by immunohistochemical staining. CONCLUSIONS Syphilitic gummas in pituitary and CPA are similar to benign or malignant brain tumors, easily leading to misdiagnosis. Gumma should be considered in differential diagnosis when a patient has unexplained nervous system symptoms or signs and imaging findings suggest intracranial mass in syphilis seropositive patients.Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective HIV prevention strategy for high-risk adults and recently was given US FDA approval for use among adolescents. Yet, the barriers to medication uptake for this population are unique when compared to adult populations, as parents may be just as likely as prescribers to be gatekeepers to access. To better understand the role of parents in adolescents' attitudes towards PrEP, we surveyed 491 adolescent men who have sex with men (AMSM) ages 13-18, using forced choice and open-ended response questions. We measured perceived parent-PrEP supportiveness, hypothetical parent reactions to a request to initiate PrEP, and perceived positive and negative aspects of taking PrEP without parents knowing. A mixed-methods approach was employed. Results indicated a majority of AMSM had heard of PrEP and most reported their parents would be unsupportive of their taking PrEP. Teens perceived their parents would likely be angry, accusatory, and punitive if PrEP use was discovered, and that accessing PrEP independent of parents might increase their health autonomy, agency, and prevent awkward conversations about sex.
