Association between serum Klotho and the prevalence of osteoarthritis: A cross-sectional study from NHANES 2007-2016.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease prevalent in the elderly. Currently, the relationship between the senescence inhibitor Klotho and OA remains unclear. This study investigated the relationship between serum soluble Klotho (S-Klotho) and OA.

Identification and Experimental Verification of PDK4 as a Potential Biomarker for Diagnosis and Treatment in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder marked by sustained joint inflammation, with an etiology that remains elusive. Achieving an early and precise diagnosis poses significant challenges. This study aims to elucidate the molecular pathways involved in RA pathogenesis by screening genes associated with its occurrence, analyzing the related molecular activities, and ultimately developing more effective molecular-level treatments for RA.

Outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair with physician-manufactured partial micropore stent grafts for aortic arch pathologies.

Objective: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been used extensively in the management of thoracic aortic diseases. Numerous efforts have been made to enhance clinical outcomes through the use of stent grafts. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of physician-manufactured partial micropore stent grafts (PSMGs) in TEVAR.

Machine learning identifies ferroptosis-related genes as potential diagnostic biomarkers for osteoarthritis.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common forms of degenerative arthritis and a major cause of pain and disability. Ferroptosis, a novel mode of cell death, has been verified to participate in the development of OA, but its mechanism is still unclear. This paper analyzed the ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) in OA and explored their potential clinical value.

Correlative Study on the Relationship between the Expression of m6a-Related Genes and the Prognosis and Immunotherapy of Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

Background: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare malignancies arising from mesenchymal tissue and interlacing ectodermal nerve tissue. Immunotherapy plays an important role in the prognosis and survival of STS patients. However, there is insufficient evidence to confirm the prognostic value of m6A-related genes and to evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy for STS.

Autophagy-related long non-coding RNA prognostic model predicts prognosis and survival of melanoma patients.

Background: Melanomas are malignant tumors that can occur in different body parts or tissues such as the skin, mucous membrane, uvea, and pia mater. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key factors in the occurrence and development of many malignant tumors, and are involved in the prognosis of some patients.

Aim: To identify autophagy-related lncRNAs in melanoma that are crucial for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of melanoma patients.

Pyroptosis-related gene mediated modification patterns and immune cell infiltration landscapes in cutaneous melanoma to aid immunotherapy.

Tumor occurrence, infiltration, and metastasis are significantly affected by the tumor microenvironment (TME). Increasing evidence has elucidated TME's clinical significance in prognostic assessment and immunotherapy efficacy. Nonetheless, no studies have reported the potential pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) function in TME immune cell infiltration.
