Prognostic Lysosome-Related Biomarkers for Predicting Drug Candidates in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: An Insilco Analysis.

Background: Lysosomes play an important role in enhancing tumorigenesis and chemoresistance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, a detailed analysis of the role of lysosome-related genes could improve the poor prognosis of HCC patients.

Methods: Lysosome-associated genes were downloaded from the GO and Genome Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) databases.

The impact of economic factors on treatment results for tumor inpatients in the under-developed Western region of China.

Objective: To discuss the influences of economic factors on the treatment outcomes of cancer patients and the relaxation effects of medical insurance policies on the influences of economic factors.

Method: The concentration index (CI) and horizontal inequality (HI) of treatment outcomes of cancer patients were calculated and the role of the economy, disease, and other factors to HI was analyzed by describing the influence of treatment expense on the treatment outcomes of different cancer patients.

Results: The study showed that the equity of the death rate and the effective rate of six types of cancer patients was good.

Transforming growth factor-β1 polymorphisms and graft-versus-host disease risk: a meta-analysis.

Some studies have demonstrated that transforming growth factor (TGF)-β polymorphisms may have an important role in the pathological process of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, the results are not consistent. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis.
