Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are significant modulatory molecules in the developing process of glioma. Our study will emphasize on exploring the function of circRNA Fanconi anemia group L protein (circFANCL) and the specific mechanism in glioma. ⋯ Through the illustration of oncogenic function of circFANCL in glioma by the miR-337-3p/HMGB1 axis, we believed that circFANCL might be a great target in the early diagnosis and late treatment of glioma.

Treatment of psoriasis: janus kinases inhibitors and biologics for the interleukin-23/Th17 axis.
With the discovery of the IL-23 / Th17 axis, the treatment of psoriasis has entered a new era. The aim of this study was to explore the progress of biologics and janus kinases (JAK) inhibitors targeting IL-23/Th17 axis in the treatment of psoriasis. review of English-language article was performed. Search terms included IL-17, IL-23, biologics, monoclonal antibodies, neutralizing antibodies, JAK, inhibitors, Psoriasis Area Severity Index and psoriasis. ⋯ The IL-17A/F inhibitors and non-IgG small molecule biologics that are being studied will bring a revolutionary development to the treatment of psoriasis. Topical application of JAK inhibitors can not only achieve the purpose of treating psoriasis, but also reduce the amounts of systemic medication, and reduces side effects. Each drug has its own indication, and the effect of the drug can be better achieved by selecting the indication for the drug.

We attempted to investigate non-invasive techniques and their diagnostic performances for evaluating clinically significant portal hypertension. ⋯ In future, non-invasive techniques could be the future choice of investigations for screening and diagnosis of clinically significant portal hypertension in cirrhosis. However, standardization of diagnostic indices and their cut-off values in each non-invasive method needs to be addressed.
