Association between glioma and neurodegenerative diseases risk: a two-sample bi-directional Mendelian randomization analysis.

Background: Earlier observational studies have demonstrated a correlation between glioma and the risk of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), but the causality and direction of their associations remain unclear. The objective of this study was to ascertain the causal link between glioma and NDs using Mendelian randomization (MR) methodology.

Methods: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data were used in a two-sample bi-directional MR analysis.

Inflammatory factors and risk of meningiomas: a bidirectional mendelian-randomization study.

Background: Meningiomas are one of the most common intracranial tumors, and the current understanding of meningioma pathology is still incomplete. Inflammatory factors play an important role in the pathophysiology of meningioma, but the causal relationship between inflammatory factors and meningioma is still unclear.

Method: Mendelian randomization (MR) is an effective statistical method for reducing bias based on whole genome sequencing data.

Cerebrospinal fluid protein levels are elevated 100 times in a Leptomeningeal metastasis patient: a case report and literature review.

Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) has a high degree of malignancy and high mortality. We describe a patient admitted to hospital with acute lower extremity weakness, dysuria, and high intracranial pressure. Enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed extensive enhancement of the leptomeningeal and spinal meninges with multiple nodular changes and extensive fusion.

Computational study of novel natural inhibitors targeting Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog G12C.

Lung adenocarcinoma is one of the most aggressive and rapidly fatal types of malignant lung tumor. Molecular docking and virtual screening were effectively and systematically used to identify specific targets in malignant tumors and screen potential drugs. Here, we screen perfect leading compounds from a medicate library (ZINC15 database) and analyze their properties (conveyance, absorption, metabolism, excretion, and harmless forecasts) with potential inhibition of Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog (KRAS) G12C.
