Due to their rarity, the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors of spinal cord gliomas are still unclear. Here, we aimed to clarify these issues in a cohort of 108 spinal cord astrocytomas. ⋯ We characterized the clinicopathological characteristics and their prognostic values in 108 spinal cord astrocytomas, which could help with evidence-based management of spinal cord astrocytomas.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally. Herein, we explored the underlying mechanism by which Propofol inhibited the development of HCC. ⋯ Circulating H19 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion and inhibited the apoptosis of HCC cells treated with Propofol through upregulating LIMK1 via sponging miR-520a-3p.
