Autophagy, partly through activation of haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway, may protect from ventilator-induced lung injury, which might be a new potential therapeutic target for ventilator-induced lung injury.

YY1, a critical regulator in prostate cancer, is predicted to be a direct target of miR-146a and binds to promoter region of miR-146a which demonstrates that YY1-miR-146a-YY1 regulatory circuitry may contribute to prostate cancer and serve as a future intervention target.

In this retrospective study over a six-year period, the main indication for renal biopsy was nephrotic syndrome, the most frequent form of primary glomerular diseases was IgA nephropathy, minimal change disease was the pathological type associated with a younger age group and membranous nephropathy had a significant percentage increase.
