Anti-PD-1 antibody (Tislelizumab) combined with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin for extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma failing asparaginase: A multicenter phase II trial.

Background: Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is almost always fatal after the failure of asparaginase. This phase II study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combined with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (Tisle-GemOx) in patients with ENKTCL failing asparaginase.

Methods: Eligible patients received Tisle-GemOx as initial induction for 6-8 cycles at 21-day intervals.

Association between PCSK9 inhibitors and acute kidney injury: a pharmacovigilance study.

Background: PCSK9 inhibitors are a novel class of lipid-lowering medications, and numerous clinical studies have confirmed their significant role in improving the progression of chronic kidney disease. However, recent case reports have indicated new evidence regarding their association with acute kidney injury (AKI), with some patients experiencing acute tubular injury after PCSK9 inhibitors use.

Objectives: To clarify the relationship between PCSK9 inhibitors and AKI, we conducted a pharmacovigilance study.

Dendrobine alleviates oleic acid-induced lipid accumulation by inhibiting FOS/METTL14 pathway.

Dendrobine (DDB), an alkaloid isolated from the Chinese herb Dendrobium, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects; however, whether DDB reduces oleic acid (OA)-induced lipid accumulation remains unclear. OA-induced lipid accumulation model of HepG2 cells were treated with DDB. Cellular lipid deposition was assessed by Oil Red O (ORO) staining and triglyceride and total cholesterol detection.

Zinc finger protein 180 induces an apoptotic phenotype by activating METTL14 transcriptional activity in colorectal cancer.

Zinc finger protein 180 (ZNF180) is a multifunctional protein that interacts with nucleic acids and regulates various cellular processes; however, the function of ZNF180 in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. The present study investigated the role and function of ZNF180 in CRC, and aimed to reveal the underlying molecular mechanism. The results revealed that ZNF180 was downregulated in CRC tissues and was associated with a good prognosis in patients with CRC.

Targeting N4-acetylcytidine suppresses hepatocellular carcinoma progression by repressing eEF2-mediated HMGB2 mRNA translation.

Background: N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) represents a novel messenger RNA (mRNA) modification, and its associated acetyltransferase N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of tumors by regulating mRNA functionality. However, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and prognosis is largely unknown. This study aimed to elucidate the role of NAT10-mediated ac4C in HCC progression and provide a promising therapeutic approach.

Association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and the risk of pulmonary nodules in patients with intestinal polyps.

Background: Associations between metabolic risk factors and lung cancer remain elusive, and evidence on the linkage between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and pulmonary nodules is limited. This study sought to examine the independent association between NAFLD and the risk of pulmonary nodules.

Methods: Cross-sectional analyses of 1,119 patients with intestinal polyps hospitalized at the Department of Gastroenterology, Minhang District Central Hospital of Shanghai, China, were conducted.

Disrupting CCDC137-mediated LZTS2 and β-TrCP interaction in the nucleus inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma development via β-catenin and AKT.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly heterogeneous solid tumor, with its biological characteristics intricately linked to the activation of oncogenes. This research specifically explored CCDC137, a molecule within the CCDC family exhibiting the closest association with HCC. Our investigation aimed to unravel the role, underlying mechanisms, and potential therapeutic implications of CCDC137 in the context of HCC.

Retroperitoneal dermoid cyst complicated with uterine adenomyoma: a case report and literature review.

Pelvic masses frequently originate from the pelvic cavity and are often associated with uterine, ovarian, or intestinal disorders. This report describes the case of a patient with a pelvic mass diagnosed as a retroperitoneal dermoid cyst at our hospital. We analyzed this case and conducted a literature review, to mitigate the risk of misdiagnosis and enhance the treatment of retroperitoneal masses.

Case literature analysis of Fournier's gangrene caused by sodium-glucose protein-2 inhibitors.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and correlation of Fournier's gangrene induced by sodium-glucose cotransporter protein-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, providing references for safe clinical drug use.

Methods: The CNKI, WanFang, and PubMed databases were searched, and relevant documents were collected and statistically analyzed. The basic information of patients, drug use information, adverse reactions and outcomes were extracted and analyzed.

IGSF8 is an innate immune checkpoint and cancer immunotherapy target.

Antigen presentation defects in tumors are prevalent mechanisms of adaptive immune evasion and resistance to cancer immunotherapy, whereas how tumors evade innate immunity is less clear. Using CRISPR screens, we discovered that IGSF8 expressed on tumors suppresses NK cell function by interacting with human KIR3DL2 and mouse Klra9 receptors on NK cells. IGSF8 is normally expressed in neuronal tissues and is not required for cell survival in vitro or in vivo.

Effect of miR-1297 on Kidney Injury in Rats with Diabetic Nephropathy through the PTEN/PI3K/AKT Pathway.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the influence of on kidney injury in rats with diabetic nephropathy (DN) and its causal role.

Methods: A DN rat model was established through right kidney resection and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Sham rats did not undergo right kidney resection or STZ injection.

Oral Microbiota and Porphyromonas gingivalis Kgp Genotypes Altered in Parkinson's Disease with Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Cognitive impairment (CI) is a common complication of the non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD), including PD with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) and PD dementia. Recent studies reported the oral dysbiosis in PD and CI, respectively. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.

Ulcerative colitis complicated with hypermucinous dysplasia.

Patients with ulcerative colitis are at increased risk for colorectal neoplasia compared to the general population. The risk factors include family history of colorectal cancer, wide extent of colitis, disease duration, cumulative inflammatory burden, and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Here, we report a case of colorectal neoplasia developed in a patient with ulcerative colitis.

Nocturnal ozone enhancement in Shandong Province, China, in 2020-2022: Spatiotemporal distribution and formation mechanisms.

Nighttime ozone enhancement (NOE) can increase the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere by stimulating nitrate radical formation and subsequently facilitating the formation of secondary pollutants, thereby affecting air quality in the following days. Previous studies have demonstrated that when nocturnal ozone (O) concentrations exceed 80 μg/m, it leads to water loss and reduction of plant yields. In this study, the characteristics and mechanisms of NOE over Shandong Province as well as its 16 cities were analyzed based on observed hourly O concentrations from 2020 to 2022.

Temporally and spatially resolved molecular profiling in fingerprint analysis using indium vanadate nanosheets-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry.

This study presents the first-ever synthesis of samarium-doped indium vanadate nanosheets (IVONSs:Sm) via microemulsion-mediated solvothermal method. The nanosheets were subsequently utilized as a nano-matrix in laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS). It was discovered that the as-synthesized IVONSs:Sm possessed the following advantages: improved mass spectrometry signal, minimal matrix-related background, and exceptional stability in negative-ion mode.
