RESUMO
The abnormal expressions of microRNAs (miRNAs) are closely related to the genesis and development of ovarian cancer.MiRNAs are involved in carcinogenesis and progression,invasion and metastasis as well as drug resistance.As a kind of significant biomarker,miRNAs are expected to be novel targets for the early diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of ovarian cancer,which provide new ways for the therapy of ovarian cancer.

RESUMO
Atherosclerosis is the most important cause of ischemic stroke. microRNAs can play an important role in the lipid metabolism, vascular inflammatory response, angiogenesis, as wel as smooth muscle cel proliferation and phenotypic conversion, etc. by regulating the functions of vascular endothelial cel s, vascular smooth muscle cel s, and mononuclear macrophages. It is closely associated with the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. This article mainly reviews the regulatory effect of microRNAs on lipid metabolism and vascular inflammatory response in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
RESUMO
DNA methylation is closely related to the genesis and development of glioma.The CpG islands hypermethylation in promoter region of DNA repair genes,cell cycle controlling genes,apoptosis related genes,tumor suppressor genes and invasion related genes are found in glioma.Finding the specific methylation profile and molecular marker of glioma is helpful for the pathology class,early diagnosis and prognostic evalua-tion.Meanwhile,DNA methylation has the characteristic of reversibility,which may provide new ways for the treatment of glioma.
