Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a type of endogenous non-coding RNAs discovered recently, which are produced by models such as circularization driven by intron pairing and are regulated by related regulatory factors. An important biological function of circRNAs is to act as a molecular sponge to make the level of microRNAs significantly change in a short period of time. A number of studies have shown that circRNAs are closely associated with ischemic stroke. Therefore, a better understanding of the function of circRNAs and its regulatory mechanism will help to explore the expression of circRNAs in early ischemic stroke and its molecular mechanism in the occurrence and development of ischemic stroke, so as to establish an early warning model to realize the early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of ischemic stroke. This article reviews the definition, biological characteristics, and expression changes and roles of circRNAs after ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the expression of IL-8 and CXCR2 on keratinocytes from psoriatic lesions and their roles on clinical and pathologic manifestations. Methods The chemotaxis of psoriatic lesional keratinocytes was detected by micropore loculus test. The concentration of IL-8 was determined in the cultured supernatants of psoriatic keratinocytes by ELISA. The expression of CXCR2 on keratinocytes from affected skin was tested by flow cytometry. Results The chemotaxis for neutrophils by the cultured supernatants of psoriatic lesional keratinocytes was significantly stronger than that by controls. The concentration of IL-8 in the cultured supernatants of psoriatic lesional keratinocytes was also increased. The expression of CXCR2 on psoriatic keratinocytes was significantly increased. Conclusions The psoriatic epidermal hyperproliferation may be correlated with up regulation of IL-8 production and CXCR2 expression on psoriatic keratinocytes. At the same time, the psoriatic inflammation may be partly related to the increase of secretion of IL-8, which has chemotactic capacity, by keratinocytes. IL-8 and CXCR2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Objective:
To investigate the efficacy and safety of the new investigational drug pegylated interferon α-2b (Peg-IFN-α-2b) (Y shape, 40 kD) injection (180 µg/week) combined with ribavirin in the treatment of patients with genotype 1/6 chronic hepatitis C (CHC), with standard-dose Peg-IFN-α-2a combined with ribavirin as a positive control.
Methods:
A multicenter, randomized, open-label, and positive-controlled phase III clinical trial was performed. Eligible patients with genotype 1/6 CHC were screened out and randomly divided into Peg-IFN-α-2b(Y shape, 40kD) group and Peg-IFN-α-2a group at a ratio of 2:1. The patients in both groups were given oral ribavirin for 48 weeks in addition and then followed up for 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. Abbott Real Time HCV Genotype II was used to determine HCV genotype, and Cobas TaqMan quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure HCV RNA level at 0, 4, 12, 24, 48, and 72 weeks. Adverse events were recorded in detail. The primary efficacy endpoint was sustained virological response (SVR), and a non-inferiority test was also performed.
Results:
A total of 561 patients with genotype 1/6 CHC were enrolled, among whom 529 received treatment; 90.9% of these patients had genotype 1 CHC. The data of the full analysis set showed that SVR rate was 69.80% (95%
