    Abstract Background: Breast cancer recurrence is a traumatic event for patients, and its treatment depends on the patient's ability to accept the circumstances.
    Objective: The aim of this study was to explore how patients experience breast cancer recurrence and go through a process of negotiating acceptance.
    Methods: This study explored the experiences of 16 patients with breast cancer recurrence regarding the acceptance of recurrence in a hospital in Tehran, Iran. Purposive sampling with maximum diversity was used. Data were collected through semistructured telephone interviews from November 2020 to November 2021 and analyzed using the qualitative content analysis.
    Results: Four themes emerged that described the process of accepting cancer recurrence: (1) response to recurrence (emotional reactions and loss of trust); (2) psychological preparedness (confirmation of medical diagnosis and acceptance of fate); (3) mobilizing supports (using spiritual capacities, utilizing supportive resources, and seeking relationships to promote knowledge); and (4) return to the path of treatment (rebuilding trust and continuation of treatment).
    Conclusions: The acceptance of breast cancer recurrence is a process that begins with emotional reactions and ends with returning to the treatment path. The patient's psychological preparation, support systems, behavior of healthcare providers, and rebuilding trust are the determining factors in acceptance of recurrence.
    Implications for practice: Nurses can compensate for the failures created in the primary treatment of breast cancer by spending time with patients and paying attention to their concerns, providing effective education, strengthening communication between patients with similar conditions and using the spiritual capacities of patients, and mobilizing the support of family and relatives.

    Abstract Introduction and importance: Abdominal wall hernia is a protrusion of abdominal contents through an acquired or congenital weakness or wall defect. A ventral hernia, including an appendix, is a rare condition. The appendix in the hernial sac is already known as inguinal and femoral hernia and has been named Amyand hernia and De Garengeot hernia, respectively.
    Case presentation: We have presented a 74-year-old woman with complaints of point tenderness in the right lower abdomen and para-umbilical and a palpable non-reducible mass over the para-umbilicus with some erythema on the skin, which started two days ago. With the help of imaging, diagnosis of abdominal wall hernia was made, with the appendix as the possible content, as there was evidence of an inflamed appendix lumen incarcerated through the abdominal wall.
    Clinical discussion: We have provided a detailed review of recent articles. Our comprehensive discussion includes an exploration of the typical manifestations, the significance of imaging in accurate diagnosis, and the appropriate measures to facilitate optimal surgical preparation. The treatment for ventral hernia typically involves appendectomy and abdominal wall hernia repair, with the specific approach depending on the severity of inflammation.
    Conclusion: Although abdominal wall hernia containing appendicitis is extremely rare, its clinical manifestations are hernia and acute appendicitis, the most common diseases in general surgery. Imaging may be helpful in diagnosis. According to our study, diagnostic laparoscopy could be used in case of clinical suspicion of abdominal wall hernia containing an appendix, although more studies are needed.

    Abstract Breast cancer is a genetically heterogeneous disorder associated with dysregulation of several genes. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that is expressed by many tumoral cells such as transformed breast cancer cells. We investigated expressions of nine PPARγ-related lncRNAs, namely KCNIP2-AS1, TRHDE-AS1, FAM13A-AS1, ALDH1A1-AS2, SH3BP5-AS1, HID1-AS1, LINC01140, LIPE-AS1 and ABCA9-AS1 in paired breast cancer samples and non-tumoral tissues. Expression assays showed lower expression levels of TRHDE-AS1, ALDH1L1-AS2, KCNIP2-AS1, ABCA9-AS1, LIPE-AS1 and LINC01140 in tumoral compared with non-tumoral samples. The mentioned genes could differentiate between breast tumors and non-tumoral samples with AUC values ranging from 0.77 to 0.62 for LINC01140 and LIPE-AS1, respectively. The highest specificity and sensitivity values were reported for KCNIP2-AS1 and LINC01140, respectively. Significant correlations were reported between all pairs of genes in both tumoral and non-tumoral tissues. The most robust ones were between ABCA9-AS1 and KCNIP2-AS1 (correlation coefficient=0.85) in non-tumoral tissues and between LIPE-AS1 and TRHDE-AS1 (correlation coefficient=0.83) in tumoral tissues. There was a significant negative association between expression levels of KCNIP2-AS1 gene in tumor tissues and different histological grades. Besides, there was a significant negative association between expression levels of FAM13A-AS1, KCNIP2-AS1and LIPE-AS1 genes in tumor tissues and different mitotic rates. Taken together, PPARγ-related lncRNAs might be regarded as potential contributors to the pathogenesis of breast cancer.

    Abstract Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare tumor but a challenging cancer in terms of pathological changes, clinical manifestations and therapeutic options. Recent studies have provided evidence for participation of non-coding RNAs in the carcinogenic process of cholangiocarcinoma. We demonstrate the role of long non-coding RNAs, microRNAs and circular RNAs in the pathogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma and highlight their significant position as therapeutic targets and biomarkers for this type of cancer. We also list a number of molecular axes comprising these non-coding RNAs that represent potential targets for therapeutic options in cholangiocarcinoma, based on their significant roles in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of these cells.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small-sized transcripts with about 22 nucleotide length. They have been shown to influence almost every aspect of cellular functions through regulation of expression of target genes. miR-1908 is a miRNA with diverse roles in human disorders. This miRNA is encoded by MIR1908 gene on chr11:61,815,161-61,815,240, minus strand. Expression assays have confirmed dysregulation of miR-1908 in cancer-derived cell lines in addition to biological samples obtained from patients affected with cancer. In most assessed cell lines, miR-1908 has an oncogenic role. However, this miRNA has been shown to act as a tumor suppressor in chordoma, lung cancer and ovarian cancer. In addition, several lines of evidence have shown involvement of this miRNA in the pathoetiology of bipolar disorder, myocardial infarction, obesity, renal fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and scar formation. In the current review, we elucidate the results of diverse studies which evaluated participation of miR-1908 in these conditions.

    Abstract Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling cascade is one of the complex signaling pathways that control the accurately organized developmental processes in multicellular organisms. This pathway has fundamental roles in the tumor formation and induction of resistance to conventional therapies. Numerous non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been found to interact with Shh pathway to induce several pathogenic processes, including malignant and non-malignant disorders. Many of the Shh-interacting ncRNAs are oncogenes whose expressions have been increased in diverse malignancies. A number of Shh-targeting miRNAs such as miR-26a, miR-1471, miR-129-5p, miR-361-3p, miR-26b-5p and miR-361-3p have been found to be down-regulated in tumor tissues. In addition to malignant conditions, Shh-interacting ncRNAs can affect tissue regeneration and development of neurodegenerative disorders. XIST, LOC101930370, lncRNA-Hh, circBCBM1, SNHG6, LINC-PINT, TUG1 and LINC01426 are among long non-coding RNAs/circular RNAs that interact with Shh pathway. Moreover, miR-424, miR-26a, miR-1471, miR-125a, miR-210, miR-130a-5p, miR-199b, miR-155, let-7, miR-30c, miR-326, miR-26b-5p, miR-9, miR-132, miR-146a and miR-425-5p are among Shh-interacting miRNAs. The current review summarizes the interactions between ncRNAs and Shh in these contexts.

    Abstract NR2F1-AS1 is a natural antisense transcript with prominent roles in the carcinogenesis. It acts as an oncogene in almost all types of cancers except for cervical and colorectal cancers. It can act as a molecular sponge for miR-17, miR-371a-3p, miR-363, miR-29a-3p, miR-493-5p, miR-190a, miR-140, miR-642a, miR-363, miR-493-5p, miR-483-3p, miR-485-5p, miR-146a-5p, miR-877-5p, miR-338-3 P and miR-423-5p to influence expression of several cancer-related genes. Thus, the sponging role of NR2F1-AS1 is the most appreciated route of its contribution in the carcinogenesis. In addition, NR2F1-AS1 affects activity of IGF-1/IGF-1R/ERK, PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β and Hedgehog pathways. The current narrative review aims at summarization of the results of studies that highlighted the role of NR2F1-AS1 in the carcinogenesis.

    Abstract Ovarian cancer is a female malignancy with high fatality-to-case ratio, which is due to late detection of cancer. Understanding the molecular mechanisms participating in these processes would facilitate design of therapeutic modalities and identification of novel tumor markers. Recent investigations have shown contribution of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the evolution of ovarian cancer. These transcripts are produced through a back-splicing mechanism. The enclosed configuration of circRNAs protects them from degradation and potentiates them as biomarkers. Several circRNAs such as circMUC16, circRNA_MYLK, circRNA-UBAP2, circWHSC1, hsa_circ_0013958, circFGFR3, hsa_circRNA_102958 and circ_0072995 have been found to be up-regulated in this cancer, acting as oncogenes. On the other hand, circ-ITCH, circPLEKHM3, circ_100395, circ_0078607, circATRNL1, circHIPK3, circRHOBTB3, circEXOC6B, circ9119 and CDR1as are among down-regulated circRNAs in ovarian cancer. Expression levels of circCELSR1, circ_CELSR1, circATL2, circNRIP1, circTNPO3 and hsa_circ_0000714 have been shown to affect resistance of ovarian cancer cells to chemotherapy. Moreover, circ_100395, circFGFR3, circ_0000554, circCELSR1, circ-PTK2, circLNPEP, circ-CSPP1, circ_0000745, circ_100395 and circPLEKHM3 have been shown to regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastatic ability of ovarian cancer cells. In the current review, we explain the roles of circRNAs in the evolution and progression of ovarian cancer.

    Abstract Hypertension is a multifactorial condition in which several genetic and environmental elements contribute. Recent investigations have revealed contribution of non-coding region of the transcriptome in this trait. CDKN2B-AS1, AK098656, MEG3, H19, PAXIP1-AS1, TUG1, GAS5, CASC2 and CPS1-IT are among long non-coding RNAs participating in the pathophysiology of hypertension. Several miRNAs have also been found to be implicated in this disorder. miR-296, miR-637, miR-296, miR-637, hsa-miR-361-5p, miR-122-5p, miR-199a-3p, miR-208a-3p, miR-423-5p, miR-223-5p and miR-140-5p are among dysregulated miRNAs in this condition whose application as diagnostic biomarkers for hypertension has been evaluated. Finally, hsa-circ-0005870, hsa_circ_0037911 and hsa_circ_0014243 are examples of dysregulated circular RNAs in hypertensive patients. In the current review, we describe the role of these non-coding RNAs in the pathophysiology of hypertension.

    Abstract The cytokine known as transforming growth factor (TGF) is essential for cell development, differentiation, and apoptosis in BC. TGF-β dysregulation can either promote or inhibit tumor development, and it is a key signaling pathway in BC spread. A recently identified family of ncRNAs known as lncRNAs has received a great deal of effort and is an important regulator of many cellular processes, including transcription of genes, chromatin remodeling, progression of the cell cycle, and posttranscriptional processing. Furthermore, both TGF-β signaling and lncRNAs serve as important early-stage biomarkers for BC diagnosis and prognosis and also play a significant role in BC drug resistance. According to recent studies, lncRNAs can regulate TGF-β by modulating its cofactors in BC. However, the particular functions of lncRNAs and the TGF-β pathway in controlling BC progression are not well understood yet. This review explores the lncRNAs' functional properties in BC as tumor suppressors or oncogenes in the regulation of genes, with a focus on dysregulated TGF-β signaling. Further, we emphasize the functional roles of lncRNAs and TGF-β pathway in the progression of BC to discover new treatment strategies and better comprehend the fundamental cellular pathways.
