Background: The role of cystathionine γ-lyase (CTH) in the prognosis and immune invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains poorly understood.

Methods: In this study, the clinical data of patients with HCC were analyzed, and the expression level of CTH was compared between HCC and normal tissues using the R package and various databases.

Results: We found that CTH expression was significantly decreased in HCC compared with normal tissues, and its expression was associated with various clinicopathological factors, including tumor stage, gender, tumor status, residual tumor, histologic stage, race, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), albumin, drinking, and smoking.

Objective: To evaluate safety and efficacy of dietary polyphenols in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods: CNKI, Pubmed, Cochrane library, Embase were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of dietary polyphenols in the treatment of RA. The databases were searched from the time of their establishment to November 8nd, 2022.

Background: Multiple molecular subtypes with distinct clinical outcomes in colon cancer have been identified in recent years. Nonetheless, the autophagy-related molecular subtypes as well as its mediated tumor microenvironment (TME) cell infiltration characteristics have not been fully understood.

Methods: Based on the seven colon cancer cohorts with 1580 samples, we performed a comprehensive genomic analysis to explore the molecular subtypes mediated by autophagy-related genes.

Invasive breast carcinoma (BRCA) is a serious disease that threatens the survival time of those affected. Alternative splicing (AS) involved in BRCA pathogenesis may be a potential therapeutic target. However, to the best of our knowledge, a systematic analysis of survival-related alternative splicing events (SREs) has not yet been reported.

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: Databases PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, and Wangfang were searched to July 30, 2019. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was applied to assess the quality of all identified studies, and those qualified were included in the meta-analysis.

Background: Although multiple key molecules in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have been identified in recent years, the overall tumor microenvironment (TME) immune cell infiltration characterizations mediated by multiple key molecules remain little known. This study aimed to integrate the roles of multiple key molecules to evaluate patient prognosis and TME cell infiltration characterization as well as responses to immunotherapy.

Methods: Using combined LUAD cancer cohorts with 228 normal samples and 913 tumor samples, we comprehensively dissected the differences of genomic and TME cell infiltration landscapes between normal lung tissues and tumor tissues.

Aim: To ensure the diagnostic value of computer aided techniques in diabetic retinopathy (DR) detection based on ophthalmic photography (OP).

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Ei village, IEEE Xplore and Cochrane Library database were searched systematically for literatures about computer aided detection (CAD) in DR detection. The methodological quality of included studies was appraised by the Quality Assessment Tool for Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2).
