ABSTRACT
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in humans and poses a serious threat to human health.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) affected the mechanism of occurrence and development of colorectal cancer.As an important member of miRNA,miR-224 modulates the migration,proliferation,metastases and drug resistance of colorectal cancer by acting on its downstream targets.The expression of miR-224 affects the prognosis of colorectal cancer.Therefore,this review summarizes the role of miR-224 and its downstream targets in colorectal cancer,it may provide a new method for diagnosis and treatment to colorectal cancer at the cellular and molecular level.
ABSTRACT
Objective Establishing community nursing intervention to improve treatment compliance of senior patients taking and quit bad lifestyle so as to enhance quality of life. Methods We selected 180 senior patients who received the questionnaires concerning treatment compliance and the assessment of nursing satisfaction before and after our nursing intervention.
