Abstract
Immediate function has become an accepted treatment modality for fixed restorations in completely edentulous jaws. The dental implants have gained immense popularity. A secure implant primary stability is positively associated with a successful implant integration and long term successful clinical outcome. The main aim of this study was to find the association between primary stability and bone density in implants placed in maxilla and mandible. A total of 1263 patients who had undergone implant placement from March 2020-March 2021 in Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai, India were chosen for the study. The primary stability and bone density of these patients were collected from the hospital records. The collected data was compiled, reviewed, tabulated in Microsoft Excel sheet and entered in SPSS software for statistical analysis. In the present study, the patient aged between 28 and 37 years had undergone more implant placement (31%) with male predilection (53%). The most commonly associated primary stability was found to be 30-40 Ncm (51.37%) predominantly with D2 type of bone density (52.69%). A Chi-squared statistical test was done for primary stability and bone density and the P was found to be 0.00 (Chi-squared P < 0.05, statistically significant). The most predominant bone density was D2 associated with primary stability of 30-40 Ncm. The association between bone density and primary stability was found to be statistically significant. The present study shows a strong relationship between bone density and primary implant stability.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent malignancies, with high incidence and mortality. As the majority of HCC patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage and die of recurrence and metastasis, its pathology and new biomarkers are needed. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a large subclass of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) with covalently closed loop structures and abundant, conserved, stable, tissue-specific expression in mammalian cells. CircRNAs exert multiple functions in HCC initiation, growth and progression, serving as promising biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic targets for this disease. This review briefly describes the biogenesis and biological functions of circRNAs and elucidates the roles of circRNAs in the development and progression of HCC, especially regarding epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), drug resistance and interactions with epigenetic modifications. In addition, this review highlights the implications of circRNAs as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HCC. We hope to provide novel insight into the roles of circRNAs in HCC.

Abstract
As natural nanoparticles, exosomes regulate a wide range of biological processes via modulation of its components, including circular RNAs (circRNAs). CircRNAs are a novel class of closed-loop single-stranded RNAs with a wide distribution, and play diverse biological roles. Due to its stability in exosomes, exosomal circRNAs serve as biomarkers, pathogenic regulators and exert therapeutic potentials in some cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, acute coronary syndrome, ischemia/reperfusion injury, heart failure, and peripheral artery disease. In this review, we detailed the current knowledge on the biogenesis and functions of exosomes, circRNAs, and exosomal circRNAs, as well as their involvement in these cardiovascular diseases, providing novel insights into the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are endogenous RNAs with a covalently closed continuous loop, generated through various backsplicing events of pre-mRNA. An accumulating number of studies have shown that circRNAs are potential biomarkers for major human diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, identification and prediction of human disease-associated circRNAs are of significant importance. To this end, a computational analysis-assisted strategy is indispensable to detect, verify, and quantify circRNAs for downstream applications. In this review, we briefly introduce the biology of circRNAs, including the biogenesis, characteristics, and biological functions. In addition, we outline about 30 recent bioinformatic analysis tools that are publicly available for circRNA study. Principles for applying these computational strategies and considerations will be briefly discussed. Lastly, we give a complete survey on more than 20 key computational databases that are frequently used. To our knowledge, this is the most complete and updated summary on publicly available circRNA resources. In conclusion, this review summarizes key aspects of circRNA biology and outlines key computational strategies that will facilitate the genome-wide identification and prediction of circRNAs.

Long noncoding RNAs as novel players in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Hypertens Res 2020; 43:597-608.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-(protein)-coding RNAs longer than ~200 nucleotides and have been reported to be involved in multiple human diseases by regulating gene expression. A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that lncRNAs are also widely implicated in mechanisms of hypertension, including regulation of the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of VSMCs; the production of iNOS and NO; and the angiogenic function of endothelial cells. Several lncRNAs were also differentially expressed in the renal and cardiac tissues of hypertensive rats and even in placental samples from preeclampsia patients. In particular, several circulating lncRNAs have been identified as novel biomarkers of hypertension. In this review, we summarize the current studies of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of hypertension in order to aid in better understanding the molecular mechanism of hypertension and provide a basis to explore new therapeutic targets.
