Abstract Background Lung cancer is the second most common for men and women; wide adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) offers a potential to accelerate cohort-related epidemiological studies using informatics approaches. Since manual extraction from large volumes text materials time consuming labor intensive, some efforts have emerged automatically extract information lung patients natural language processing (NLP), an artificial intelligence technique. Methods In this study,...

Corilagin is a polyphenol that can be extracted from many medicinal plants and shows multiple pharmacological effects. We aimed to investigate the role of corilagin on miR-21-regulated hepatic fibrosis, especially TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway, in stellate LX2 cell line Sprague-Dawley rats. The mRNA or protein levels miR-21, Smad7, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), inhibitor metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), collagen type I...
