Article Synopsis
- Ostrich meat is a nutritious alternative to traditional meats like poultry and beef, and adding plant species like hot peppers and acerola can enhance sausage quality and consumer acceptance.
- Researchers conducted thorough microbiological and chemical analyses to examine aspects such as biogenic amines, heavy metals, and antioxidants in these sausages.
- The study found that the addition of plant additives improved health benefits by reducing fat oxidation and enhancing taste and smell, while lactic acid bacteria present posed a potential risk due to biogenic amines.
This study aims to assess early effects of chemotherapy on symptom alleviation, nutritional status, and mental health in elderly patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This prospective study included 45 NSCLC patients (32 males, 13 females) aged 65-82 years (mean age 70.0 ± 4.

As an important component of the antigen processing and presenting machinery - APM, ERAP1 is frequently down-regulated in many cancers. Since ERAP1 expression has not yet been thoroughly investigated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we decided to analyze ERAP1 mRNA levels in tissues collected from NSCLC patients.

Methods: TaqMan SNP genotyping assays or polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methods were used to determine genotypes of: PDCD1: rs36084323, rs7421861, rs11568821, rs2227981, rs10204525; CD274: rs822335, rs10815225, rs17718883, rs2297136, rs4742098, rs4143815; HAVCR2: rs10057302, rs1036199. Among 383 NSCLC patients, 112 were diagnosed with LUAD and 116 with LUSC.
Introduction: Lung cancer is the predominant cause of death among cancer patients and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type. Cigarette smoking is the prevailing risk factor for NSCLC, nevertheless, this cancer is also diagnosed in never-smokers. B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) belongs to immunological checkpoints which are key regulatory molecules of the immune response.
