		                        			Cancer genomics has led to the discovery of numerous oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes that play critical roles in cancer development and progression.Oncogenes promote cell growth and proliferation,whereas tumor suppressor genes inhibit cell growth and division.The dysregulation of these genes can lead to the development of cancer.Recent studies have focused on non-coding RNAs(ncRNAs),including circular RNA(circRNA),long non-coding RNA(lncRNA),and microRNA(miRNA),as therapeutic targets for cancer.In this article,we discuss the oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes of ncRNAs associated with different types of cancer and their potential as therapeutic targets.Here,we highlight the mechanisms of action of these genes and their clinical applications in cancer treatment.Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer development and identifying specific therapeutic targets are essential steps towards the development of effective cancer treatments.

		                        			OBJECTIVE To comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness, safety and economics of linaclotide in the treatment of constipated irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C), and to provide the evidence-based basis for clinical application. METHODS Rapid health technology assessment method was adopted; PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP database, SinoMed, and related HTA websites were searched. Systematic review/meta-analysis, HTA reports and pharmacoeconomic research about linaclotide were collected. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation, descriptive analysis was used to classify and summarize the research results. RESULTS A total of 11 literature were included, involving 7 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 4 pharmacoeconomic research. In terms of effectiveness, compared with placebo, linaclotide could achieve FDA specified endpoint and European Medicines Agency-recommended endpoint faster, significantly improved patients’ complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBM), abdominal pain, constipation and quality of life, and relieved patients’ global symptoms; compared with the indirect evidence of lubiprostone, plecanatide and tenapanor, the efficacy of linaclotide at the FDA specified endpoint, CSBM, abdominal pain relief, and global relief response were the best. In terms of safety, the incidence of overall adverse drug reactions, diarrhea and flatulence caused by linaclotide were significantly higher than placebo,but patients can tolerate them. In terms of economics, compared with traditional therapeutic drugs, linaclotide showed an economic advantage. CONCLUSIONS Linaclotide has advantages in efficacy, safety and economics in the treatment of IBS-C. It is an effective strategy for the treatment of IBS-C.

		                        			ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupuncture on rat model with damp-heat syndrome.MethodsThe combined use of high fat diet,damp-heat environment and infection of bacillus coli was adopted to establish rat models with damp-heat syndrome.A 10-day acupuncture treatment was given to the models.Results Changes can be found in both symptoms and signs of the model rat,which were held to meet the features of damp-heat syndrome.Moreover,abnormity can be found in the expression of the whole blood viscosity [(2.95 ±0.18)、(3.31±0.20)、(9.52±0.53)]mPa ? s,the expression of SOD and MDA of the blood serum and the skin [(4.21 ± 0.3)、(8.51 ± 0.42)]mPa ? s and [( 1.35 ± 0.16)、(1.26 ± 0.20)]mPa ? s.under high,medium and low shear rate.And improvements can be found in the expression of the whole blood viscosity [(2.70± 0.15)、(2.98 ±0.27)、(8.93 ± 0.80)]mPa ? s,the expression of SOD and MDA of the blood serum and the skin [(4.52 ± 0.26)、(7.00 - 0.62)]mPa ? s,[( 1.49 ± 0.12)、( 1.05 ± 0.24)]mPa ? s under high,medium and low shear rate.Conclusion Acupuncture at Yinlingquan (SP9) and Neiting (ST44) can improve the high blood viscosity situation of rat model with damp-heat syndrome,and enhance the ability of the body to eliminate hyperoxide as well.
