Prognosis-related autophagy genes in female lung adenocarcinoma.

To screen the prognosis-related autophagy genes of female lung adenocarcinoma by the transcriptome data and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.In this study, screen meaningful female lung adenocarcinoma differential genes in TCGA, use univariate Cox proportional regression model to select genes related to prognosis, and establish the best risk model. In this study, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes were applied for carrying out bioinformatics analysis of gene function.

Circ_0001421 facilitates glycolysis and lung cancer development by regulating miR-4677-3p/CDCA3.

Background: Lung cancer (LC) is a malignant tumor originating in the bronchial mucosa or gland of the lung. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are proved to be key regulators of tumor progression. However, the regulatory effect of circ_0001421 on lung cancer tumorigenesis remains unclear.

Comparison of the efficacy of four endobronchial ablation techniques in dogs.

The present study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of four commonly used ablation techniques, namely neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) laser therapy, argon plasma coagulation (APC), high-frequency electrocautery and CO cryotherapy. The techniques were performed at various powers or impedance settings, and for various durations, on the trachea of beagle dogs. Pathological changes of the tracheal wall were assessed by bronchoscopy.

Apoptosis of Lewis Lung Carcinoma Cells Induced by Microwave via p53 and Proapoptotic Proteins .

Background: Microwave therapy is a minimal invasive procedure and has been employed in clinical practice for the treatment of various types of cancers. However, its therapeutic application in non-small-cell lung cancer and the underlying mechanism remains to be investigated. This study aimed to investigate its effect on Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) tumor in vivo.

Functional Role of FcγRIIB in the Regulation of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Function.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone marrow are plural-potent stem cells with immune regulatory functions. We aimed to evaluate role of FcγRIIB in the regulation of bone marrow-derived MSC function. MSCs were prepared from mouse bone marrow derived from wild-type (WT) or FcγRIIB-deficient (FcγRIIB-/-) mice.
