RESUMO
The sandwich stent technique is a commonly used method to preserve unilateral internal iliac artery flow when treating iliac artery aneurysm. In this case, covered stent grafts (Viabahn, Gore) were used to build the iliac limb of a sandwich stent. However, if Viabahn is released without long sheath protection, the trigger wire is easily wound on another stent, resulting in the Viabahn delivery system being inseparable from the stent. If we drag it forcefully, it would easily cause the entire sandwich stent graft to shift or even fall into the thoracic aorta. This complication is catastrophic. Here we report the case of a patient whose sandwich stent system disengaged and entered the thoracic aorta. We took corresponding measures to remedy it.
RESUMO
Recently, substantial evidence has demonstrated that pseudogene derived lncRNAs are crucial regulators of cancer development and progression. DUXAP10,a pseudogene derived long non-coding RNA(lncRNA), is overexpression in colorectal cancer (CRC), but its expression pattern, biological function and underlying mechanism in CRC is still undetermined. In this study, we observed that DUXAP10 was up-regulated in CRC tissues which was positively correlated with advanced pathological stages, larger tumor sizes and lymph node metastasis. Additionally, knockdown of DUXAP10 inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell apoptosis and increase the number of G0/G1 cells significantly in the HCT116 and SW480 cell lines. Moreover, DUXAP10 silencing inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Further mechanism study showed that, by binding to histone demethylase lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), DUXAP10 promote CRC cell growth and reduced cell apoptosis through silencing the expression of p21 and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) tumor suppressor. Our findings suggested that the pseudogene-derived from lncRNA DUXAP10 promotes the biological progression of CRC and is likely to be a potential therapeutic target for CRC intervention.

This study aims to investigate the function of long non-coding RNA ZEB1-AS1, reveal its molecular mechanism in colorectal cancer cell growth, and evaluate its clinical significance in colorectal cancer patients. ZEB1-AS1 has reported in the development of several cancers, but the biological role of it in colorectal cancer has not been discussed. In this report, ZEB1-AS1 expression level was measured with quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in 63 pairs of colorectal cancer tissues and paired adjacent non-tumor colorectal tissues. The relationship between ZEB1-AS1 expression and overall survival was analyzed by virtue of Kaplan-Meier analysis. Subsequently, small interfering RNA or lentivirus vector-mediated lncRNA ZEB1-AS1 was transfected into colorectal cancer cell lines. Cell viability and apoptosis were examined. Later, nude mouse transplantation experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of ZEB1-AS1 on colorectal cancer development in vivo. It turns out that ZEB1-AS1 is upregulated in colorectal cancer tissues and its expression is significantly associated with overall survival rate and recurrence-free survival. Upregulation of ZEB1-AS1 colorectal cancer promotes cell proliferation and inhibits cell apoptosis. In addition, cell cycle inhibitory protein p15 participates in the oncogenic function of ZEB1-AS1. Collectively, ZEB1-AS1 has asignificant effect on colorectal cancer pathological process and serves as a valuable prognostic biomarker for colorectal cancer.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which represent a novel group of non-protein-coding RNAs and are commonly defined as RNA molecules larger than 200 nucleotides in length, have been shown to get involved in diverse biological processes, such as cell growth, apoptosis, migration and invasion. In addition, aberrant expression of lncRNAs has been discovered in human tumors, where they function as either oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Recently tumorigenic effects of one specific lncRNA, termed as 'HOXA transcript at the distal tip' (HOTTIP), on the initiation and progression of human cancer has been widely reported. An increasing amount of data has shown that dysregulation of HOTTIP is associated with various malignancies including hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer and colorectal cancer, and affects the survival and prognosis of cancer patients. Here, we focus on the current knowledge of HOTTIP in various cancers and illustrate the corresponding mechanism and biological function of HOTTIP during tumor development.
