LINC00342 targeted to miR-545-5p/murine double minute 2 (MDM2) in COAD. In COAD tissues and cell lines, LINC00342 expression was positively correlated to MDM2 expression, while it was negatively correlated to miR-545-5p expression. Both miR-545-5p-mimic and siMDM2 transfection could recover the changes of cell biological activities which were induced by LINC00342 overexpression. LINC00342 knockdown suppressed COAD tumor growth in vivo. CONCLUSION LINC00342 affected cell biological activities of COAD in vivo and in vitro via regulating miR-545-5p/MDM2. It might a novel target in COAD therapy. Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a connective tissue disorder caused by mutations of the FBN1 gene encoding fibrillin-1, which leads to overexpression of transforming growth factor-β, increased hyaluronan deposition, and matrix metalloproteinase activity in the media of the aorta and other muscular arteries. Marfan syndrome patients present with connective tissue laxity and aneurysmal changes to muscular arteries. Successful medical and surgical intervention has prolonged the life expectancy of MFS patients, which can allow atypical presentations of the syndrome to manifest. We present a case of a 49-year-old man with MFS who developed an ulnar artery aneurysm that was treated by excision and vein grafting. PURPOSE Previous studies showed voxel-based volumetry as a helpful tool in detecting pathologic brain atrophy. Aim of this study was to investigate whether the inclusion of CSF volume improves the imaging based diagnostic accuracy by using combined automated voxel- and region-based volumetry. METHODS In total, 120 individuals (30 healthy elderly, 30 frontotemporal dementia (FTD), 30 Alzheimer's dementia (AD) and 30 Lewy body dementia (LBD) patients) were analyzed with voxel-based morphometry and compared to a reference group of 360 h
