The clinical result indicates that the anterior approach modification of free vascularized fibular grafting is a valuable procedure in the treatment of femoral neck nonunions.

Purpose Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is incurable with standard therapies. The use of gene expression analysis has been of interest, recently, to detect biomarkers for cancer. There is a great need for systemic coexpression network analysis of MCL and this study aims to establish a gene coexpression network to forecast key genes related to the pathogenesis and prognosis of MCL. Methods The microarray dataset GSE93291 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. We systematically identified coexpression modules using the weighted gene coexpression network analysis method (WGCNA). Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analysis were performed on the modules deemed important. The protein–protein interaction networks were constructed and visualized using Cytoscape software on the basis of the STRING website; the hub genes in the top weighted network were identified. Survival data were analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method and were compared using the log-rank test. Results Seven coexpression modules consisting of different genes were applied to 5,000 genes in the 121 human MCL samples using WGCNA software. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis identified the blue module as one of the most important modules; the most critical pathways identified were the ribosome, oxidative phosphorylation and proteasome pathways. The hub genes in the top weighted network were regarded as real hub genes (IL2RB, CD3D, RPL26L1, POLR2K, KIF11, CDC20, CCNB1, CCNA2, PUF60, SNRNP70, AKT1 and PRPF40A). Survival analysis revealed that seven genes (KIF11, CDC20, CCNB1, CCNA2, PRPF40A, CD3D and PUF60) were associated with overall survival time (p < 0.05). Conclusions The blue module may play a vital role in the pathogenesis of MCL. Five real hub genes (KIF11, CDC20, CCNB1, CCNA2 and PUF60) were identified as potential prognostic biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets with clinical utility for MCL.
