RESULTS Circ-FOXM1 was elevated and miR-143-3p was reduced in melanoma tissues and cells. Circ-FOXM1 deficiency impeded cell proliferation, invasion, and glycolysis and facilitated cell apoptosis in melanoma in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo. Circ-FOXM1 acted as a sponge of miR-143-3p and the impacts of circ-FOXM1 silencing on cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and glycolysis were overturned by miR-143-3p deletion. Moreover, FLOT2 was a target gene of miR-143-3p and FLOT2 overexpression rescued the inhibitory effect of miR-143-3p on melanoma progression. CONCLUSION Circ-FOXM1 facilitated the development of melanoma by upregulating FLOT2 through miR-143-3p.BACKGROUND The KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Health Act of 2009 mandates the Provincial Health Research and Ethics Committee to develop health research priorities for the province. During 2013, the KZN Department of Health embarked on a research prioritisation process for the province. Priority research questions were generated by an inclusive process, in which a variety of stakeholders in health research in the province were engaged. The aim of this study was to determine whether research conducted at public health facilities in KZN between 01 January 2014 and 31 March 2017 met the research priorities of the province developed through the provincial research prioritisation process of 2013. METHODS This was a mixed methods study. Qualitative thematic analysis was used to categorise priority research questions generated in the priority-setting process and the titles of research projects conducted after that process into themes. Quantitative analysis was used to determine the correlation between themes of the priority quch priorities.BACKGROUND A limited number of publications have assessed the prevalence of hypertension (HTN) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with inconclusive
