Identifying disulfidptosis subtypes in hepatocellular carcinoma through machine learning and preliminary exploration of its connection with immunotherapy.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly prevalent and deadly cancer, with limited treatment options for advanced-stage patients. Disulfidptosis is a recently identified mechanism of programmed cell death that occurs in SLC7A11 high-expressing cells due to glucose starvation-induced disintegration of the cellular disulfide skeleton. We aimed to explore the potential of disulfidptosis, as a prognostic and therapeutic marker in HCC.

Construction of the novel immune risk scoring system related to CD8 T cells in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma.

Background: Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is a gynecological malignant tumor with high incidence and poor prognosis. Although immunotherapy has brought significant survival benefits to advanced UCEC patients, traditional evaluation indicators cannot accurately identify all potential beneficiaries of immunotherapy. Consequently, it is necessary to construct a new scoring system to predict patient prognosis and responsiveness of immunotherapy.

Construction of a novel molecular typing and scoring system for anoikis distinguishes between different prognostic risks and treatment responsiveness in low-grade glioma.

Background: The main factors responsible for low-grade glioma (LGG)s' poor prognosis and treatment effectiveness include recurrence and malignant progression. A specific type of programmed cell death, known as anoikis, which is crucial for tumor invasion and metastasis, however, has not yet been investigated in LGGs.

Methods: We downloaded data of 509 samples from the TCGA-LGG cohort, carried out cluster analysis for typing twice on the basis of 19 anoikis-associated genes, and the subtypes were evaluated the differences in clinicopathological and biological features.

Circular RNA_0001187 participates in the regulation of ulcerative colitis development via upregulating myeloid differentiation factor 88.

Circular RNA (circRNA) had been confirmed to participate in ulcerative colitis (UC) development. Circular RNA_0001187 (Circ_0001187) had been found to be overexpressed in patients with Crohn disease. Therefore, circ_0001187 might be an important circRNA regulating intestinal inflammatory diseases.

Invasive Mole Resulting in Uterine Rupture: A Case Report.

Uterine surgery is a common predisposing factor for uterine rupture, while an invasive mole that leads to uterine rupture is a rare clinical occurrence. Here, we report a case of a 31-year-old childless woman who underwent abortion after 53 days of pregnancy. She still experienced abdominal pain and scanty vaginal bleeding after the abortion.

Polymorphisms of cancer-related genes and risk of multipleprimary malignancies involving colorectal cancer.

Background/aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of cancer-related genes and the risk of multiple primary malignancies involving colorectal cancer.Materials and methods: We collected tissue samples from 22 multiple primary cancer patients with primary colorectal cancer and performed genotyping assay for 116 SNP loci from 62 genes encoding peptides functioning in various signaling pathways using the DNA MassARRAY system. The chi-square test was used to compare the differences in base frequencies between patients and a control Chinese population from HapMap through the NCBI database.

Colorectal cancer in cases of multiple primary cancers: Clinical features of 59 cases and point mutation analyses.

The present study aimed to investigate the occurrence and clinical features of cases of multiple primary cancers including colorectal cancer (MPCC). The medical records of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who underwent surgery at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University (Changsha, China) between August 2007 and August 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with MPCCs were identified and mutation analyses were performed on colon specimens.
