    Abstract Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most aggressive gastrointestinal cancers. Despite improvements in therapies, the survival rate of patients with EC remains low. Metastasis accounts for up to 90% of cancer-related deaths, and resistance to anti-neoplastic therapeutics is also a main cause of poor survival. Thus, metastasis and drug resistance are undoubtedly the two main challenges in cancer treatment. Among the different categories of noncoding RNAs, lncRNAs have historically drawn less attention. However, lncRNAs have gradually become a research hotspot, and increasing research has demonstrated that lncRNAs participate in the tumorigenesis of multiple types of cancer, including EC. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides in length that play important roles in epigenetics, transcription regulation, and posttranscriptional processing. In this review, we elucidated the role of lncRNAs in the metastasis and drug resistance of EC and discussed their potential clinical applications and related limitations. With a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of lncRNAs, we can identify therapeutic targets for EC in the future.

    Abstract Rationale: Graft detachment and endothelial cell damages are 2 major concerns for cataract surgeries in cases after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). We invented a simple but innovative method to anchor the DSAEK graft with sutures during the surgery to avoid possible graft detachment.
    Patient concerns: We present a 59-year-old male who had done DSAEK surgery. Due to progressed blurry vision due to cataract, he underwent sequential cataract surgery 1 year after DSAEK surgery. We applied the method to the patient successfully and the result was satisfying.
    Diagnosis: Cataract post-DSAEK surgery.
    Interventions: At the beginning of surgery, we made 4 radial fixation sutures with Nylon 10-0 though cornea-DSAEK graft at paracentral point and then through limbus. The sutures were located at 45°, 135°, 225°, and 315°. At the end of surgery, 4 fixation sutures were removed.
    Outcomes: The DSAEK graft was kept well attached during and after the surgery. Only low-grade corneal edema was found postoperation.
    Lessons: We provide this special method and applied it to our patient successfully. By using our method, surgeons can reassure graft adhesion during and after surgery, especially for those need cataract surgery after DSAEK surgery.

    Abstract Kurarinone, a major lavandulyl flavanone found in the roots of Sophora flavescens aiton, has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophages; however, the effects of kurarinone on the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and the protective effects against sepsis have not been well investigated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impacts of kurarinone on NLRP3 inflammasome activation in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophages and its protective effects against sepsis in vivo. Secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, activation of MAPKs and NF-κB signaling pathways, formation of NLRP3 inflammasome, and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by LPS-induced macrophages were examined; additionally, in vivo LPS-induced endotoxemia model was used to investigate the protective effects of kurarinone in sepsis-induced damages. Our experimental results demonstrated that kurarinone inhibited the expression of iNOS and COX-2, suppressed the phosphorylation of MAPKs, attenuated the production of TNF-α, IL-6, nitric oxide (NO) and ROS, repressed the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and impeded the maturation and secretion of IL-1β and caspase-1. Furthermore, the administration of kurarinone attenuated the infiltration of neutrophils in the lung, kidneys and liver, reduced the expression of organ damage markers, and increased the survival rate in LPS-challenged mice. Collectively, our study demonstrated that kurarinone can protect against LPS-induced sepsis damage and exert anti-inflammatory effects via inhibiting MAPK/NF-κB pathways, attenuating NLRP3 inflammasome formation, and preventing intracellular ROS accumulation, suggesting that kurarinone might have potential for treating sepsis and inflammation-related diseases.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the long-term anatomic and functional outcomes of autologous neurosensory retinal free flap transplantation (ART) for patients with refractory large macular hole (MH).
    Design: Retrospective interventional case series.
    Methods: We reviewed 9 patients who underwent ART for their refractory large MH. In this extended follow-up study, postoperative assessment including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were recorded at 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 months after surgery.
    Results: The macular hole of all patients appeared successfully closed during the whole follow-up period. The mean logMAR BCVA improved from 1.61 ± 0.44 (preoperative) to 0.72 ± 0.30 (12 months after surgery) (
    Conclusion: ART is a good alternative technique for closing large refractory macular holes. Although inner retinal cystic changes were observed in 4 eyes (44.4%), this phenomenon did not significantly affect visual acuity. It provides long-term good anatomical and functional results, especially in cases where insufficient ILM or lens capsule are left.
