Effects of different KRAS mutants and Ki67 expression on diagnosis and prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a prevalent form of non-small cell lung cancer with a rising incidence in recent years. Understanding the mutation characteristics of LUAD is crucial for effective treatment and prediction of this disease. Among the various mutations observed in LUAD, KRAS mutations are particularly common.

Clinical characteristics on low-dose high-resolution computed tomography and serum tumor markers of malignant pulmonary solid small nodules and postoperative survival analysis.

Purpose: To observe the clinical features of low-dose, high-resolution computed tomography (LDCT) and changes in serum tumor markers in malignant pulmonary solid small nodules (MPSSN), and to analyze the difference in survival of patients with malignant and benign PSSN 3 years after surgery.

Methods: Patients were enrolled from the thoracic surgery department of three hospitals. According to pathological diagnosis, all patients were divided into the case group (MPSSN, n=157) and the control group (BPSSN, n=75).

Analysis of risk factors for stage I lung adenocarcinoma using low-dose high-resolution computed tomography.

Risk factors for stage I lung adenocarcinoma were analyzed using low-dose high-resolution computed tomography (CT). The patients were divided into case group (stage I lung adenocarcinoma patients) and control group (benign pulmonary nodules patients). All patients were subjected to low-dose high-resolution CT.

Marinobacter shengliensis sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from oil-contaminated saline soil.

Two moderately halophilic strains, designated SL013A34A2(T) and SL013A24A, were isolated from oil-contaminated saline soil from Shengli Oilfield, eastern China. Cells were found to be Gram-staining negative, aerobic, rod-shaped with a single polar flagellum. The isolates were found to grow at 10-40 °C (optimum 35 °C), pH 6.

Plastorhodobacter daqingensis gen. nov., sp. nov.: a non-phototrophic bacterium isolated from Daqing Oilfield.

Two aerobic Gram staining negative, non-motile, and rod-shaped strains, DQW12E81-30(T) and DQW12E6-37-1, were isolated from an oil production mixture from Daqing Oilfield, northeastern China. Phylogenetic analysis based on the nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strains DQW12E81-30(T) and DQW12E6-37-1 were members of family Rhodobacteraceae, which showed 95.6-95.

Halodurantibacterium flavum gen. nov., sp. nov., a non-phototrophic bacterium isolated from an oil production mixture.

Three Gram-negative bacterial strains, DQW12E6-69-1(T), DQW12E61-22-1, and DQW12E6-22-1-1, were isolated from an oil production mixture from Daqing Oilfield, northeastern China. The phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the three strains formed a stable cluster different from the known genus in Rhodobacteraceae of Alphaproteobacteria. In addition, they were most closely related to species in genera Pararhodobacter, Rhodobacter ,and Rhodobaca with the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities being 95.

Seohaeicola nanhaiensis sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from the benthic sediment of South China Sea.

An aerobic, Gram-staining negative, non-motile, and rod-shaped bacterial strain, SS011A0-7#2-2(T), was isolated from the sediment of South China Sea with the depth of 1,500 m. Optimum growth occurred at pH 8.0, 30 °C, and 6 % (w/v) NaCl.

Glycocaulis albus sp. nov., a moderately halophilic dimorphic prosthecate bacterium isolated from petroleum-contaminated saline soil.

Two novel bacterial strains, SLG210-30A1(T) and SLG210-19A2, which shared 99.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with each other, were isolated from petroleum-contaminated saline soil in Shengli Oilfield, eastern China. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, motile, aerobic, mesophilic and moderately halophilic.
