Background: Lung cancer is a highly prevalent tumor with a lack of biological markers that reflect its progression. Mast cell surface membrane protein 1 (MCEMP1, also known as C19ORF59) has not been reported in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
Objective: We aimed to investigate the role of MCEMP1 in LUAD.
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spread rapidly with considerable morbidity nationwide since China's liberalization in December 2022. Our work has focused on identifying different predictive factors from the laboratory examination of critically ill patients, and forecasting the unfavorable outcome of critically ill patients with COVID-19 through a combined diagnosis of biological markers.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at the Department of First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, China, from December 24, 2022, to January 10, 2023, where 434 critically ill patients who met the inclusion criteria were involved.
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in tumorigenesis, including lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the functional and regulatory mechanisms of lncRNAs in LUAD remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the role of lncRNA ZBED5-AS1 in LUAD.

Methods: We collected 143 pleural effusion samples from August 2018 to March 2021. The samples included 91 cases of MPE and 52 cases of BPE.
Background: Lung cancer is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths in the world. We found a significant increase of STAMBPL1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tissues and cells. However, its mechanism has not been clarified.

Risk prediction models with multiple markers may provide better prognostic factors for accurate diagnosis and prediction of metastatic LUAD.
Methods: An animal model of LUAD metastasis was constructed using CRISPR technology, and genes related to LUAD metastasis were screened by mRNA sequencing of normal and metastatic tissues.

Purpose: Our previous experiments have demonstrated that lncRNA UCA1 (UCA1) promoted cisplatin resistance in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). This study aimed to explore the potential downstream target genes regulated by UCA1 and how this downstream gene promotes cisplatin resistance in LUAD.
Methods: Here, we measured the expression level of Heme oxygenase1 (HO1) in LUAD cell lines by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) based on UCA1 overexpression cell lines and UCA1 knockdown cell lines.
Background: Extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs) increase the number of proto-oncogenes by enhancing oncogene expression to promote tumorigenesis. However, there are limited reports on differential eccDNA expression and analysis in lung cancer, especially in lung adenocarcinoma (LAD).
Methods: Three LAD and three corresponding NT tissues samples were used for eccDNA next-generation sequencing analysis, and an additional 20 were used for quantitative PCR (qPCR) evaluations.
