Cancer incidence and mortality are increasing globally, leading to its rising status as a leading cause of death. The Go-Ichi-Ni-San (GINS) complex plays a crucial role in DNA replication and the cell cycle. The GINS complex consists of four subunits encoded by the GINS1, GINS2, GINS3, and GINS4 genes.

Cancer has become the most life-threatening disease in the world. Mutations in and aberrant expression of genes encoding proteins and mutations in noncoding RNAs, especially long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), have significant effects in human cancers. LncRNAs have no protein-coding ability but function extensively in numerous physiological and pathological processes.

Article Synopsis
  • A meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the recurrence of COVID-19 after hospital discharge, focusing on demographic, clinical, and lab characteristics of patients.
  • The study reviewed ten different studies with a total of 2071 cases, revealing that about 17.65% of patients experienced recurrence, especially among older individuals and those showing moderate disease severity.
  • Key symptoms linked to higher chances of recurrence included cough, sputum production, headaches, and dizziness, along with certain lab findings like decreased white blood cell and platelet counts.

The long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that are more than 200 nucleotides in length, and one of several types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). The lncRNAs function in diverse biological processes in normal cells, such as cellular differentiation and cell cycle regulation. There is also evidence that some aberrantly regulated lncRNAs function as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes in various cancers.

Background And Objective: Acute liver failure (ALF) is a type of disease with high mortality and rapid progression with no specific treatment methods currently available. Glucocorticoids exert beneficial clinical effects on therapy for ALF. However, the mechanism of this effect remains unclear and when to use glucocorticoids in patients with ALF is difficult to determine.
