We applied in the previous study miRNA microarray screening analysis to identify several differentially expressed miRNAs, including miR-183 in normal, eutopic, and ectopic endometrium. Knockdown of miR-183 expression induced the invasiveness and inhibition of apoptosis in endometrial stromal cells. The current study aims to identify the miR-183 targets with relevance to cell functions in endome...

Problem solving in the tax domain requires two kinds of knowledge: of the law itself and of how the law has been applied in the past. The need for the second factor arises as a result of the ambiguity of natural language. The problem solver requires information on how the courts have adjudicated specific cases in the past. This information would then provide the basis for reasoning about the cu...

OBJECTIVE In our previous study, we found that some miRNAs were deregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), including miR-183. However, the expression of miR-183 in the progression of benign liver diseases to HCC and its correlation with clinicopathologic factors remain undefined. METHODS MiR-183 expression was measured in normal controls (NC) (n = 21), chronic viral hepatitis B or C (CH) ...

More sensitive and effective diagnostic markers for the detection of breast cancer are urgently needed. The microRNA-183/182/96 cluster has been reported to be involved in tumorigenesis and progression in a variety of cancers, and it is a promising cancer prognostic biomarker. The goal of this study was to determine the expression levels of the miR-183/182/96 cluster in breast cancer tissues an...

The search for the role of solar and tidal cycles in terrestrial climate records is an interesting curiosity. Powerful clean spectroscopy of high resolution carbon and oxygen isotope records from the tropical western Pacific Sulu Sea, over the past 9000–22000 years reveals statistically significant (at >90% confidence interval) spectral lines corresponding to periods of 2980, 690, 322, 250, 174...

Analyses are reported from a case-control interview study of incident laryngeal cancer on the Gulf Coast of Texas. Study subjects were 183 white men with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and 250 frequency matched controls. Occupational exposures were examined controlling for potential confounding by cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption. Significantly elevated risks were seen for men e...
