iPLAβ regulates the dual effects of arachidonic acid in thyroid cancer.

Background: Abnormal arachidonic acid metabolism in the tumor microenvironment is closely related to cancer progression; however, thyroid cancer was rarely researched.

Methods: Through lipidomic analysis, we disclosed that dysregulated arachidonic acid metabolism plays dual effects on thyroid cancer. The promoting role of arachidonic acid in the progression of thyroid cancer cells was evaluated utilizing cell viability (CCK-8 assay) and transwell invasion assays, confirmed by corresponding inhibitors.

MDH2 regulates the sensitivity of clear cell renal cell carcinoma to ferroptosis through its interaction with FSP1.

Malate dehydrogenase 2 is a pivotal enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Recent studies have highlighted the significant involvement of MDH2 in the pathogenesis and progression of diverse types of tumors, yet its precise mechanistic underpinnings remain elusive. This study revealed a significant decrease in MDH2 expression in renal cancer tissues.

Rare and complex diseases in focus: ChatGPT's role in improving diagnosis and treatment.

Rare and complex diseases pose significant challenges to both patients and healthcare providers. These conditions often present with atypical symptoms, making diagnosis and treatment a formidable task. In recent years, artificial intelligence and natural language processing technologies have shown great promise in assisting medical professionals in diagnosing and managing such conditions.

Targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9): from bench to bedside.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has evolved as a pivotal enzyme in lipid metabolism and a revolutionary therapeutic target for hypercholesterolemia and its related cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This comprehensive review delineates the intricate roles and wide-ranging implications of PCSK9, extending beyond CVD to emphasize its significance in diverse physiological and pathological states, including liver diseases, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and notably, cancer. Our exploration offers insights into the interaction between PCSK9 and low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLRs), elucidating its substantial impact on cholesterol homeostasis and cardiovascular health.

Chemoimmunotherapy combined with consolidative thoracic radiotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of chemoimmunotherapy combined with consolidative thoracic radiation therapy (cTRT) in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).

Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched.

Cranial radiation therapy with hippocampus avoidance in lung cancer treatment: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The role of cranial radiation therapy with hippocampus avoidance (HA-CRT) in neurocognitive function (NCF), brain metastasis (BM), and overall survival (OS) in lung cancer remains unclear.

Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of HA-CRT in lung cancer. Data from studies on hippocampal-avoidance prophylactic cranial irradiation (HA-PCI) and whole brain radiotherapy (HA-WBRT) were pooled.

Enhancing Diabetes Self-management and Education: A Critical Analysis of ChatGPT's Role.

ChatGPT, an advanced natural language processing model, holds significant promise in diabetes self-management and education. ChatGPT excels in providing personalized educational experiences by tailoring information to meet individual patient needs and preferences. It aids patients in developing self-management skills and strategies, fostering proactive disease management.

Innovating Healthcare: The Role of ChatGPT in Streamlining Hospital Workflow in the Future.

ChatGPT is revolutionizing hospital workflows by enhancing the precision and efficiency of tasks that were formerly the exclusive domain of healthcare professionals. Additionally, ChatGPT can aid in administrative duties, including appointment scheduling and billing, which enables healthcare professionals to allocate more time towards patient care. By shouldering some of these responsibilities, ChatGPT has the potential to advance the quality of patient care, streamline departmental efficiency, and lower healthcare costs.

A unique regulated cell death-related classification regarding prognosis and immune landscapes in non-small cell lung cancer.

Regulated cell death (RCD) contributes to reshaping the tumor immune microenvironment and participating in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, related mechanisms have not been fully disclosed. Here, we identified 5 subclusters of NSCLC based on consensus clustering of 3429 RCD-associated genes in the TCGA database and depicted the genomic features and immune landscape of these clusters. Importantly, the clusters provided insights into recognizing tumor microenvironment (TME) and tumor responses to immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

MUC3A promotes the progression of colorectal cancer through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

Mucin 3A (MUC3A) is overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and associated with poor prognosis, but the related mechanism remains unclear. Our study found that MUC3A promotes the progression of CRC by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Knockout of MUC3A significantly inhibited the proliferation of CRC cells and induced G1 phase arrest by upregulating p21 protein, an important cell cycle regulator.
