- The study investigated the role of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) among COPD patients, comparing them to healthy individuals.
- The research was conducted at a hospital in China, involving 98 COPD patients divided into PAH and normal pulmonary arterial pressure groups, along with a control group of 22 healthy individuals.
- Results showed heightened levels of TLR4, NF-κB, and inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) in PAH patients, indicating that inflammation plays a significant role in PAH development and that these markers could indicate the severity of PAH in COPD patients.
Background: A number of studies have investigated the relationship between fibroblast growth factor receptor1 (FGFR1) gene copy number and survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, conclusions reported by different parties seem to be inconsistent, especially regarding the differences among different histopathologic subtypes. To derive a more precise estimate of the prognostic significance of FGFR1 gene copy number, we have reviewed published studies and carried out a meta-analysis.

It can be detected in the ascitic fluid of patients with ovarian cancer. Increasing evidence shows that LPA can stimulate cancer cell proliferation and promote tumor invasion and metastasis.
