Objective:
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to play a central role in development and progression in various cancers including glioma. This study aimed to determine the expression level of miRR-599 in glioma and to further investigate its clinical significance.
Patients And Methods:
The expression levels of miR-599 were evaluated in 184 paired of glioma and normal tissues by Real-time RT-PCR. The correlation between tumor miR-599 expression and the clinical and pathological features was analyzed using x2 test. Overall survival and progression-free survival curves were obtained using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression analysis was conducted to analyze the prognostic value of miR-599.
Results:
We observed that miR-599 expression was significantly downregulated in glioma compared with the adjacent noncancerous tissues (p < 0.01). Correlation analysis revealed that miR-599 downregulation was significantly correlated with KPS (p = 0.000), WHO grade (p = 0.003) and recurrence (p = 0.039). Moreover, Kaplan-Meier analysis confirmed that low miR-599 expression was related to decreased and overall survival (p = 0.002) and progression-free survival (p = 0.001). Then, multivariate analysis revealed that miR-599 was an independent prognostic indicator for overall survival (p = 0.006) and progression-free survival (p = 0.003).
Conclusions:
Our data, for the first time, demonstrated that miR-599 expression in glioma could be a useful prognostic marker.

Cell Potential and Free Energy
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...
