Unlocking reproducible transcriptomic signatures for acute myeloid leukaemia: Integration, classification and drug repurposing.

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous disease, which lead to various findings in transcriptomic research. This study addresses these challenges by integrating 34 datasets, including 26 control groups, 6 prognostic datasets and 2 single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets to identify 10,000 AML-related genes (ARGs). We focused on genes with low variability and high consistency and successfully discovered 191 AML signatures (ASs).

Multi role ChatGPT framework for transforming medical data analysis.

The application of ChatGPTin the medical field has sparked debate regarding its accuracy. To address this issue, we present a Multi-Role ChatGPT Framework (MRCF), designed to improve ChatGPT's performance in medical data analysis by optimizing prompt words, integrating real-world data, and implementing quality control protocols. Compared to the singular ChatGPT model, MRCF significantly outperforms traditional manual analysis in interpreting medical data, exhibiting fewer random errors, higher accuracy, and better identification of incorrect information.

Activation of the melanocortin-1 receptor attenuates neuronal apoptosis after traumatic brain injury by upregulating Merlin expression.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common disease worldwide with high mortality and disability rates. Besides the primary mechanical injury, the secondary injury associated with TBI can also induce numerous pathological changes, such as brain edema, nerve apoptosis, and neuroinflammation, which further aggravates neurological dysfunction and even causes the death due to the primary injury. Among them, neuronal apoptosis is a key link in the injury.

Guanine-rich RNA sequence binding factor 1 regulates neuronal ferroptosis after spinal cord injury in rats via the GPX4 signaling pathway.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can trigger multiple forms of neuronal cell death. Among these, ferroptosis stands out as a particularly important style of cell death due to its iron overload-dependent lipid peroxidative regulatory mechanism. The guanine-rich RNA sequence binding factor 1 (GRSF1) is an RNA-binding protein that has been implicated in cellular senescence, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, erythropoiesis, and embryonic brain development.

Identification of immunity-related lncRNAs and construction of a ceRNA network of potential prognostic biomarkers in acute myeloid leukemia.

Using bioinformatics analyses, this study aimed to identify lncRNAs related to the immune status of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and ascertain the potential impact in immunity-related competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks on AML prognosis. AML-related RNA-seq FPKM data, AML-related miRNA expression microarray data, and gene sets associated with immunity-related pathways were, respectively, obtained from the TCGA, GEO, and ImmReg databases. An immunity-related ceRNA network was then constructed according to the predicted interactions between AML-related mRNAs, lncRNAs, and miRNAs.

PTEN-knockdown disrupts the morphology, growth pattern and function of Nthy-Ori 3-1 cells by downregulating PAX8 expression.

The incidence of thyroid disorders, which are common endocrine diseases, has rapidly increased in recent years. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of these disorders remain unclear. Phosphatase and tension homolog (PTEN) is a dual-specific phosphatase that is associated with multiple thyroid disorders; however, the role of PTEN in thyroid disorders remains unknown.

Deficiency of PTEN leads to aberrant chromosome segregation through downregulation of MAD2.

Proper spindle formation and accurate chromosome segregation are essential for ensuring mitotic fidelity. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is a multifunctional protein, which is able to maintain the stability of the genome and chromosomes. The present study described an essential role of PTEN in regulating chromosome segregation to prevent gross genomic instability via regulation of mitotic arrest deficient 2 (MAD2).

Arsenic trioxide inhibits angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo by upregulating FoxO3a.

Arsenic trioxide (AsO) has been used clinically for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia and some solid tumors. However, the mechanisms of its anti-tumor effects are still elusive. Angiogenesis is a key process for tumor initiation, and increasing evidence has supported the role of anti-angiogenesis caused by arsenic in tumor suppression, although the detailed mechanism is not well understood.

[Analysis of risk factors of intra-abdominal infection after surgery for colorectal cancer].

Objective: To investigate the risk factors of intra-abdominal infection(IAI) after colorectal cancer surgery.

Methods: Clinical and follow-up data of 773 colorectal cancer patients undergoing operation in our hospital from October 2011 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into intra-abdominal cavity infection group (110 cases, IAI group) and non intra-abdominal infection group(663 cases, non-IAI group).

[Epidemiological characteristics and risk factors for patients with catheter-related bloodstream infections in intensive care unit].

Objective: To explore the epidemiological characteristics, bacterial composition and risk factors for patients with catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) in intensive care unit (ICU).

Methods: A prospective survey was conduced for 2 605 ICU patients during January 2010 to December 2013. The clinical data of CRBSI and non-CRBSI patients were compared and their relevant risk factors analyzed.
