Abstract
Zinc is an essential microelement, and its deficit causes various diseases and symptoms. In adults, especially in elderly individuals, zinc shortage can cause symptoms such as taste disorder, dermatitis, and susceptibility to infection. In children, zinc deficiency can lead to growth retardation. In 2017, the indication for zinc acetate dihydrate (NOBELZIN®) was expanded from Wilson's disease to include hypozincemia, leading to wider use of zinc acetate dihydrate. At five years after this broadening of use, we conducted a post-marketing study (PMS) to investigate the utilization, safety, and effectiveness of zinc acetate dihydrate. Over 52 weeks, the overall incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) was 9.4% (87/928). The most common ADR was copper deficiency (2.4%), followed by nausea (1.4%). Among 928 patients, 19 (2%) developed serious ADRs. Of the patients with copper deficiency, 92% were >65 years of age, and all had comorbidities at baseline. Physicians evaluated the effectiveness of zinc acetate dihydrate using three categories: "effective", "not effective", and "indeterminate". The overall efficacy rate was 83.0%. The average serum zinc levels were elevated from 50-60 μg/dL to >90 μg/dL within 12 weeks, and were maintained up to 52 weeks after administration. Among the symptomatic sub-categories, the efficacy rate was highest in pressure ulcer (96.2%; 25/26), followed by in stomatitis (87.5%; 42/48), and taste disorder (87.4%; 181/207). Among pediatric patients with developmental symptoms, an efficacy rate of 66% was achieved. In conclusion, zinc acetate dihydrate has been safely used, and has produced beneficial effects on various diseases and symptoms.

Abstract
Some patients with Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy suffer from orthostatic hypotension as a result of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction. Other complicated dysfunctions, such as spinal hypertension, hinder the management of orthostatic hypotension. A combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions is required for successful treatment. In this article, I first discuss general matters regarding orthostatic hypotension, after which I describe refractory cases of orthostatic hypotension I have encountered in clinical practice.

Abstract
A 68-year-old woman with a history of schizophrenia developed coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 and was transferred to our hospital. Despite treatment, she died of respiratory failure 16 days after the onset. At the time of autopsy, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA using swabs from the nasopharynx and the lung was positive; however, the cerebrospinal fluid was negative. An autopsy showed diffuse alveolar damage and recent multiple cerebral infarcts. Acute splenitis was observed with thrombi adhering to the vascular endothelium in areas of severe neutrophilic infiltration. Immunohistochemistry using an antibody against the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid showed immunoreactivity along the hyaline membrane of the lung; however, the antibody showed no immunoreactivity in the medulla, the thalamus, the frontal lobe, and the pituitary. Future pathologic studies should clarify the mechanisms involved in a variety of clinical and pathological changes related to COVID-19.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a strong risk factor for major cardiac and cerebrovascular events. In particular, coronary artery disease with DM is often complicated with complex lesions. Drug-eluting stents (DES) are mainly used for these lesions, and dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has been used to prevent stent thrombosis. Early arterial healing after DES implantation may enable short DAPT strategy. However, the impact of DM on the arterial healing in the early phase has not been elucidated to date.
Purpose
We evaluated the arterial healing in the early phase after DES implantation using coronary angioscopy (CAS) and compared the findings between DM and non-DM patients.
Methods
This study was a multicenter retrospective observational study. We analyzed CAS findings of 337 lesions from 270 patients which were evaluated 3 to 5 months after DES implantation. Patients were divided into two groups: DM (149 lesions in 118 patients) versus non-DM groups (188 lesions in 152 patients). We assessed neointimal coverage (NIC) grades (maximum, minimum and dominant), thrombus adhesion and maximum yellow color of plaque underneath the stent. NIC was graded as follows: grade 0, stent struts were not covered; grade 1, stent struts were covered by thin layer; grade 2, stent struts were buried under neointima. Yellow color was graded as follows: grade 0, white; grade 1, light yellow; grade 2, yellow; grade 3, intensive yellow.
Results
Minimum NIC coverage grade was lower in DM group than in non-DM group (P=0.002, Figure), while maximum and dominant NIC coverage grades were similar between them (P=0.94 and P=0.59, respectively). Thrombus adhesion (44.3% versus 38.8%, P=0.32) and maximum yellow color grade (P=0.78) were also similar between DM and non-DM groups. Even after the adjustment by the confounding factors such as follow-up duration and primary disease of acute coronary syndrome, DM was an independent factor predicting grade 0 of minimum NIC (odds ratio [OR] 1.83 [95% confidence interval 1.11–3.03], P=0.019).
Conclusion
DM patients showed less covered struts than non-DM patients 3 to 5 months after DES implantation, suggesting that the recent ultra-short DAPT strategy might not be easily applicable to DM patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Exostosin-1 (EXT1) and EXT2 are the major genetic etiologies of multiple hereditary exostoses and are essential for heparan sulfate (HS) biosynthesis. Previous studies investigating HS in several mouse models of multiple hereditary exostoses have reported that aberrant bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling promotes osteochondroma formation in Ext1-deficient mice. This study examined the mechanism underlying the effects of HS deficiency on BMP/Smad signaling in articular cartilage in a cartilage-specific Ext-/- mouse model. METHOD We generated mice with a conditional Ext1 knockout in cartilage tissue (Ext1-cKO mice) using Prg4-Cre transgenic mice. Structural cartilage alterations were histologically evaluated and phospho-Smad1/5/9 (pSmad1/5/9) expression in mouse chondrocytes was analyzed. The effect of pharmacological intervention of BMP signaling using a specific inhibitor was assessed in the articular cartilage of Ext1-cKO mice. RESULTS Hypertrophic chondrocytes were significantly more abundant (P = 0.021) and cartilage thickness was greater in Ext1-cKO mice at 3 months postnatal than in control littermates (P = 0.036 for femur; and P < 0.001 for tibia). However, osteoarthritis did not spontaneously occur before the 1-year follow-up. matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 and adamalysin-like metalloproteinases with thrombospondin motifs(ADAMTS)-5 were upregulated in hypertrophic chondrocytes of transgenic mice. Immunostaining and western blotting revealed that pSmad1/5/9-positive chondrocytes were more abundant in the articular cartilage of Ext1-cKO mice than in control littermates. Furthermore, the BMP inhibitor significantly decreased the number of hypertrophic chondrocytes in Ext1-cKO mice (P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS HS deficiency in articular chondrocytes causes chondrocyte hypertrophy, wherein upregulated BMP/Smad signaling partially contributes to this phenotype. HS might play an important role in maintaining the cartilaginous matrix by regulating BMP signaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a rare disorder that involves localized or diffuse thickening of the dura mater. HP is associated with various inflammatory, infectious, and malignant diseases, such as rheumatic arthritis, sarcoidosis, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis, IgG4-related disorders, syphilis, tuberculosis, bacterial and fungal infections, cancer, and idiopathic diseases, when evaluation fails to reveal a cause. Among them, chronic infection with Propionibacterium acnes is a rare etiology of HP, and its pathology remains unclear. CASE PRESENTATION An 80-year-old man having refractory otitis media with effusion of the right ear presented with progressive right-sided headache and nausea. Post-contrast brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed right mastoiditis and remarkable thickening of the dura mater and enhancement of pia mater extending from the right middle cranial fossa to the temporal lobe. HP secondary to middle ear infection was suspected, and a biopsy of the right mastoid was performed. An anaerobic culture of the biopsied right mastoid showed the growth of P. acnes, and histopathological examination using P. acnes-specific monoclonal antibody (PAB antibody) revealed the infiltration of inflammatory cells with P. acnes. Moreover, using PAB antibody, P. acnes was detected in the biopsy specimen of the thickening dura mater. No granulomas were identified in either specimen. HP was resolved with long-term administration of antibiotics and steroids. CONCLUSION This is the first documentation of pathologically demonstrated chronic HP associated with P. acnes infection followed by refractory otitis media. This report showed that chronic latent P. acnes infection induces chronic inflammation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most progressed manifestation of peripheral artery disease. Although patients with CLI commonly complicate with severely calcified lesions in infrapopliteal lesions, the prognostic impact of infrapopliteal arterial calcification on wound healing in patients with CLI has not been systematically studied.
Purpose
The aim of current study was to elucidate the prognostic impact of infrapopliteal arterial calcification on wound healing in CLI undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT).
Methods
This study enrolled 639 CLI patients with tissue loss (age 74±10 years, male 62%, diabetes 69%, hemodialysis 57%, Rutherford class 5 77%, class 6 23%) primarily treated with EVT for the infrapopliteal lesions between April 2010 and December 2015. Arterial calcification was assessed by high intensity fluoroscopy and classified into 3 groups as follows; 1) none, 2) unilateral and 3) bilateral calcification. The primary outcome measure was complete wound healing. The predictors of the outcome were evaluated by Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.
Results
During a mean follow-up period of 22±19 months, 1-year wound healing rate were 59.0%. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, 1-year wound healing rate was worse in patients with bilateral calcification than in those with unilateral or none calcification (Figure, 46.2% versus 55.1% versus 67.8%, P<0.001). After multivariate analysis, the predictors of wound healing were non-ambulatory status (hazard ratio (HR) 0.67 [95% confidential interval (CI) 0.53–0.85], P=0.001) and bilateral calcification (HR 0.75 [95% CI 0.47–0.98], versus none or unilateral calcification, P=0.036).

Conclusion
Infrapopliteal Arterial calcification as well as non-ambulatory status was associated with wound healing in patients with CLI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In the VAMPIRE 3 (VAcuuM asPIration thrombus REemoval 3) trial, we have previously shown that selective use of distal filter protection during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) decreased the incidence of no-reflow phenomenon and was associated with fewer in-hospital serious adverse cardiac events than conventional PCI in patients with attenuated plaque ≥5mm. However, whether the early efficacy of distal embolic protection translate into long term clinical benefit is unknown.
Methods
Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with attenuated plaque ≥5mm were assigned to distal protection (DP) (n=98) or conventional treatment (CT) (n=96). The primary end point of the incidence of no-reflow phenomenon during PCI and the secondary end point of in-hospital serious adverse cardiac events has been reported previously. The rate of a major adverse events, a composite of death from any cause, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or unplanned target vessel revascularization (TVR) at 1 year was the prespecified secondary end point of the trial. All clinical endpoint events were adjudicated by an independent Clinical Event Committee.
Results
Major adverse events at 1 year occurred in 12 patients (12.2%) in the DP group and in 3 patients (3.1%) in the CT group (P=0.029). The difference was driven by a higher risk of TVR (11 [11.2%] vs. 2 [2.1%], p=0.018) in the DP group compared with the CT group. In patients treated with bare metal stents (n=42), major adverse events occurred in 25.0% of the patients in the DP group and in none of the patients in the CT group (P=0.029), whereas in patients treated with drug eluting stents (n=152), rates of major adverse events were similar between the groups (8.1% vs. 3.9%, p=0.32). Rates of cardiac death were not significantly different (1.0% vs. 1.0%, p=1.00). No definite stent thrombosis was observed in either group.
Conclusions
In the VAMPIRE 3 trial of patients with ACS with attenuated plaque ≥5mm, the 1-year rates of major adverse events in the distal protection group were higher than in the conventional treatment group. This effect could be mitigated by the use of drug eluting stents.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Polymer-free biolimus A9-coated stent (DCS) has currently emerged as expected better arterial healing compared to durable polymer drug-eluting stent (DP-DES). However, superiority of DCS on arterial healing over DP-DES has not been well elucidated using intracoronary images.
Methods
This study examined 288 stents in 224 patients with de novo coronary artery lesions. We angioscopically compared 55 DCS from 35 patients with 233 DP-DES from 189 patients 10±2 months after the implantation. We assessed thrombus adhesion, which is a marker of incomplete re-endothelialization. Dominant neointimal coverage (NIC) grade, heterogeneity of NIC and maximum yellow color of plaque underneath the stent were also evaluated. Neointimal coverage was graded as follows: grade 0, stent struts exposed; grade 1, struts bulged into the lumen, although covered; grade 2, struts embedded by the neointima, but translucent; grade 3, struts fully embedded and invisible. NIC was judged as heterogeneous when differences in the NIC grade became apparent. Yellow plaque was graded as follows: grade 0, white; grade 1, light yellow; grade 2, yellow; grade 3, intensive yellow.
Results
Thrombus adhesion was similar between DCS and DP-DES (29% versus 23%, P=0.32). Dominant NIC was greater in DCS than in BP-DES (P<0.001), while NIC was more heterogeneous in DCS than in BP-DES (P=0.001, Figure). Maximum yellow color of stented segment was similar between DCS and DP-DES (P=0.09).
Conclusion
DCS provided similar thrombus adhesion to DP-DES, which suggested similar re-endothelialization 10 months after implantation. However, DCS showed thick and heterogeneous NIC compared to DP-DES. The specific feature of polymer-free and Biolimus A9 would cause the difference, and further investigation is necessary to evaluate the longer-term safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using cryoballoon requires contrast medium injection for the confirmation of appropriate venous occlusion. However, some patients have contra-indications against contrast use such as allergy for contrast medium, bronchial asthma or renal dysfunction. We hypothesized that intra-cardiac echocardiographic observation of microbubble leakage after saline injection from the cryoballoon lumen can be used as a maker of incomplete venous occlusion.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of echo-guided approach using saline injection on the acute clinical outcomes as well as the amount of contrast medium.
Methods
Twenty consecutive patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) were studied. They had any reason to avoid using contrast medium. Plain CT scan was performed in all cases to understand the anatomical features. Intra-cardiac echocardiography was used in all cases to guide transseptal puncture and to confirm pulmonary-vein occlusion. Procedural results and clinical outcomes were compared with patients who were performed by the conventional method (n=279).
Results
In all study patients, we could perform PVI without using contrast medium. A total of 2 patients required touch-up ablation using radiofrequency ablation catheter. The procedure time (85±23 vs 86±27 min, P=0.84), the dose of radiation exposure (108±78 vs. 140±133 mmGy/m2, P=0.29), and ratio of requiring touch-up ablation (5% vs 4%, P=0.81) were similar between the study group and the reference group. There was no significant difference in the AF-free survival rate (73% vs. 76%, P=0.79) during a follow-up period of 14±6 months.

Conclusion
Echo-guided approach using saline infusion was effective and less invasive in terms of reduction of contrast use.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stent (BP-DES) has been developed to improve clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients presenting coronary artery disease (CAD). Although BP-DES showed non-inferior safety and efficacy to durable polymer DES (DP-DES) in several randomized clinical trials, hemodialysis (HD) patients, who have been well known as high risk population for adverse events, were excluded in the most of trials. Therefore, there are limited data comparing the clinical outcomes between BP-DES and DP-DES in HD patients with CAD after PCI.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical outcomes in HD patients after BP-DES implantation compared with those after DP-DES implantation.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed 234 HD patients (male 74%, mean age 71±10 years) undergoing PCI for 404 lesions with 472 DESs (71 patients for 138 lesions with 170 BP-DESs [91 Ultimaster and 79 Synergy] and 163 HD patients for 266 lesions with 302 DP-DESs [219 Xience, 53 Promus and 30 Resolute]) from 2011 to 2017. Two-year clinical outcomes were compared between BP-DES group and DP-DES group. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of target lesion revascularization (TLR), while the secondary outcome measures were the occurrence of cardiac death (CD), stent thrombosis (ST), myocardial infraction (MI), target vessel revascularization (TVR), non-TVR and major adverse cardiac event (MACE) defined as a composite of CD, MI, and TVR. Outcome measures were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and the differences between BP-DES group and DP-DES group were assessed by the log-rank test. We also conducted Cox's proportional hazard model to identify predictors for TLR occurrence.
Results
Baseline patient and lesion characteristics were similar between the two groups. The two-year incidence of TLR was not significantly different between BP-DES group and DP-DES group (14.1% vs. 22.2%, p=0.391). The two-year incidences of CD (17.3% vs. 17.5%, p=0.381), ST (0% vs. 3.9%, p=0.133), MI (4.2% vs. 5.8%, p=0.965), TVR (21.3% vs. 27.5%, p=0.586), non-TVR (26.1% vs. 31.3%, p=0.439) and MACE (41.1% vs. 42.6%, p=0.526) were also not different between the two groups. After multivariate analysis, diabetes mellitus (hazard ratio 1.97; 95% confidence interval 1.03–3.78, p=0.004) was independently associated with TLR occurrence in HD patients.
Two-year clinical outcomes of HD patient
Conclusions
At two-year follow-up after PCI, BP-DES had comparable safety and efficacy profiles to DP-DES in HD patients presenting CAD.

Abstract
Background Although paradoxical reactions (PRs) to anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) therapy during treatment are well-established occurrences, PRs presenting as a new lesion after the completion of treatment are extremely rare, and little is known about the management of such cases, particularly of central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis. Case presentation A 27-year-old female, with a past medical history of tuberculous meningitis 10 years ago and who completed the anti-TB treatment with asymptomatic remnant tuberculomas in the basal cistern, was admitted to our hospital because of a headache and the worsening of pre-existing visual disturbance. Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed new tuberculomas in the left sylvian fissure with a diffuse low signal around it. Because repeated polymerase chain reaction and Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture presented negative results and the patient had no laboratory data suggestive of a relapse of tuberculous meningitis, she was diagnosed with late-onset post-treatment PRs and treated with oral corticosteroids, tapered off over 1 year. Eventually, the symptoms were relieved, and the tuberculomas disappeared. Conclusions Clinicians should consider the possibility of PRs long after the completion of tuberculous meningitis treatment. Hence, a precise MRI-based examination is imperative for the follow-up of CNS tuberculosis, and the unnecessary administration of anti-TB drugs should be avoided. The use of corticosteroids as a treatment option for post-treatment PRs is seemingly safe when the isolated M. tuberculosis is sensitive to the first-line anti-TB therapy.

Abstract
AbstractBrain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is increased in patients with heart failure due to myocardial infarction and cardiac hypertrophy, in proportion to the severity of left ventricular dysfunction. The aims of this study were to clarify the clinical features of BNP and to determine the diagnostic value of BNP for mass screening.The subjects were 818 office workers (565 males and 253 females; mean age 47 ± 12 years) who participated in a 1996 routine health check at Kansai University All individuals were examined for blood pressure, serological findings, ECG and plasma BNP level. Thirty-three males underwent 2-D echocardiography. Plasma BNP levels were measured using IRMA (immunoradiometric assay).The results were as follows: (1) BNP levels in females were higher than those in males for healthy subjects (N = 551), in each age group from 20 to 60 years. (2) BNP levels increased with age. (3) There were significant correlations between BNP level and systolic blood pressure and creatinine level. (4) There were significant differences in BNP level between the hypertensive groups with and without hypertensive ECG changes and the age-matched healthy control group. (5) Marked correlations were observed between BNP level and left ventricular wall thickness, fractional shortening, deceleration time and peak early filling velocity. (6) A BNP cut-off-point of 25 pg/ml was best for detecting LV diastolic dysfunction and LV hypertrophy. Measurement of BNP is useful for detecting asymptomatic heart failure in the general population, and is a clinical marker useful in preventing symptomatic heart failure.

Abstract
Midbrain infarction causing oculomotor nerve palsy with contralateral ataxia is named Claude's syndrome. Herein we report the case of a variant of Claude's syndrome, which shows pupil-sparing oculomotor nerve palsy without the accompanying neurological deficits other than subtle truncal ataxia. MRI and Diffusion Tensor Imaging revealed that midbrain infarction was located rostrally above the decussation of the superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP) and might have partially destructed the tectospinal tract, which resulted in the absence of limb ataxia and presence of subtle truncal ataxia. In this variant of Claude's syndrome, we should carefully assess truncal ataxia to avoid misdiagnosing it as isolated pupil-sparing oculomotor nerve palsy because the patient showed apparently normal gait and truncal ataxia was only revealed by unstable tandem gait.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although neuroimaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, its predictive value for response to shunt surgery has not been established. The purpose of the current study was to identify neuroimaging markers that predict the shunt response of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus underwent presurgical brain MR imaging and clinical evaluation before and 1 year after shunt surgery. The assessed MR imaging features included the Evans index, high-convexity tightness, Sylvian fissure dilation, callosal angle, focal enlargement of the cortical sulci, bumps in the lateral ventricular roof, and deep white matter and periventricular hyperintensities. The idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus grading scale total score was used as a primary clinical outcome measure. We used measures for individual symptoms (ie, the idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus grading scale subdomain scores, such as gait, cognitive, and urinary scores), the Timed Up and Go test, and the Mini-Mental State Examination as secondary clinical outcome measures. The relationships between presurgical neuroimaging features and postoperative clinical changes were investigated by using simple linear regression analysis. To identify the set of presurgical MR imaging features that best predict surgical outcomes, we performed multiple linear regression analysis by using a bidirectional stepwise method. RESULTS Simple linear regression analyses demonstrated that presurgical high-convexity tightness, callosal angle, and Sylvian fissure dilation were significantly associated with the 1-year changes in the clinical symptoms. A multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that presurgical high-convexity tightness alone predicted the improvement of the clinical symptoms 1 year after surgery. CONCLUSIONS High-convexity tightness is a neuroimaging feature predictive of shunt response in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.

Abstract
The effects of dispersing Pt particles in bulk Pr1.90Ni0.71Cu0.21Ga0.05O(4+δ) (PNCG) on the electrical conductivity and oxygen permeability of the material were studied. The different thermal expansion coefficients of PNCG and Pt generated a mechanical compressive strain in the PNCG. This may cause the electrical conductivity to decrease in samples containing Pt. In contrast, the oxide ion conductivity estimated from the oxygen permeability increased upon dispersion of Pt. These variations appear to be related to the electron hole and interstitial oxygen concentrations. Moreover, the present study suggests that the mechanical strain induces a chemical strain via the introduction of oxygen defects as well as changes in cation valences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Analysis of a microRNA (miRNA) expression signature of bladder cancer (BC) by deep-sequencing revealed that clustered miRNAs microRNA (miR)-451a, miR-144-3p, and miR-144-5p were significantly downregulated in BC tissues. We hypothesised that these miRNAs function as tumour suppressors in BC. The aim of this study was to investigate the functional roles of these miRNAs and their modulation of cancer networks in BC cells. METHODS The functional studies of BC cells were performed using transfection of mature miRNAs. Genome-wide gene expression analysis, in silico analysis, and dual-luciferase reporter assays were applied to identify miRNA targets. The association between miR-144-5p levels and expression of the target genes was determined, and overall patient survival as a function of target gene expression was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Gain-of-function studies showed that miR-144-5p significantly inhibited cell proliferation by BC cells. Four cell cycle-related genes (CCNE1, CCNE2, CDC25A, and PKMYT1) were identified as direct targets of miR-144-5p. The patients with high CCNE1 or CCNE2 expression had lower overall survival probabilities than those with low expression (P=0.025 and P=0.032). CONCLUSION miR-144-5p functions as tumour suppressor in BC cells. CCNE1 and CCNE2 were directly regulated by miR-144-5p and might be good prognostic markers for survival of BC patients.
