Does microRNA-181a suppress salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma metastasis by targeting MAPK-Snai2 pathway?
Our results indicate that miR-181a plays an important role in the metastasis of SACC, and may serve as a novel therapeutic target for SACC. MiR-181a regulates the MAPK-Snai2 pathway both through direct cis-regulatory mechanism and through indirect trans-regulatory mechanism.
Postoperative nosocomial infection is one of the major problems in diabetic patients. This study demonstrated that postoperative nosocomial infections were more common in patients undergoing elective gastrectomy if they had diabetes mellitus longer than 10 yr.
