Aim: To analysis of research hotspots and trends on the application of premium intraocular lens (PIOLs) in the past 2 decades.

Methods: The literature search was performed on the Web of Science and included PIOLs studies published between January 2000 and December 2022. The retrieved literature was collated and analyzed by R-tool's Bibliometrix package, CitNetExplorer, CiteSpace and other software.

Background: Numerous studies have shown that Schistosoma japonicum infection correlates with an increased risk of liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC). However, data regarding the role of this infection in LIHC oncogenesis are scarce. This study aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms of hepatocarcinogenesis associated with Schistosoma japonicum infection.

Purpose: Recently, the association between gut microbiota and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) through the gut-retina axis has attracted great interest. However, the causal relationship between them has not been elucidated. Using publicly available genome-wide association study summary statistics, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to examine the causal relationship between the gut microbiota and the occurrence of AMD.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by symmetrical polyarthritis as its main clinical manifestation. Uncontrolled RA eventually leads to joint deformities and loss of function. Currently, the pathogenesis of RA remains under discussion, and RA treatment is still at the bottleneck stage.

Although costimulatory molecules have been shown to boost antitumor immune responses, their significance in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the gene expression patterns of costimulatory molecule genes in patients with STAD and develop a predictive signature to aid in therapy selection and outcome prediction. We used 60 costimulatory family genes from prior research to conduct the first complete costimulatory molecular analysis in patients with STAD.

Drug resistance, either intrinsic or acquired, can impair treatment effects and result in increased cell motility and death. MicroRNA-21 (miR-21), a proto-oncogene, may facilitate the development or maintenance of drug resistance in cancer cells. Restoring drug sensitivity can improve therapeutic strategies, a possibility that requires functional evaluation and mechanistic exploration.

Purpose: To unravel the oncogenic role of CDCA4 in different cancers from the perspective of tumor immunity.

Methods: Raw data on CDCA4 expression in tumor samples and paracancerous samples were obtained from TCGA and GTEX databases. In addition, we investigated pathological stages and the survival analysis of CDCA4 in pan-cancer across Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database.
