Cutaneous melanoma, a malignancy of melanocytes, presents a significant challenge due to its aggressive nature and rising global incidence. Despite advancements in treatment, the variability in patient responses underscores the need for further research into novel therapeutic targets, including the role of programmed cell death pathways such as necroptosis. The melanoma datasets used for analysis, GSE215120, GSE19234, GSE22153 and GSE65904, were downloaded from the GEO database.

This manuscript presents a comprehensive investigation into the role of lactate metabolism-related genes as potential prognostic markers in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). Bulk-transcriptome data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GSE19234, GSE22153, and GSE65904 cohorts from GEO database were processed and harmonized to mitigate batch effects. Lactate metabolism scores were assigned to individual cells using the 'AUCell' package.

Background: At present, the etiology of moyamoya disease is not clear, and it is necessary to explore the mechanism of its occurrence and development. Although some bulk sequencing data have previously revealed transcriptomic changes in Moyamoya disease, single-cell sequencing data has been lacking.

Methods: Two DSA(Digital Subtraction Angiography)-diagnosed patients with moyamoya disease were recruited between January 2021 and December 2021.

Background: Uveal melanoma is a highly malignant tumor in the eye. Its recurrence and metastasis are common, and the prognosis is poor.

Methods: The transcriptome data of UVM were downloaded from TCGA database, and the single cell sequencing dataset GSE139829 was downloaded from GEO database.

Introduction: The objective of this in vitro study is to evaluate the effective and long-term occlusion of dentinal tubules using a novel calcium lactate phosphate (CLP) based desensitizing agent.

Methods: Dentin disks (n = 9) were pre-etched using 1 M lactic acid for 30 s and individually treated with Colgate Pro-Relief™ paste, CLP paste, and double distilled water (ddH₂O) by a rubber-cupped handpiece. Dentin disks were analyzed under optical micrographs for pre-treatment, directly after treatment, and 14 days post-treatment.
