Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a severe form of cancer that originates from mesothelium cells. Around 54-90% of mesotheliomas are associated with pleural effusions. Brucea Javanica Oil Emulsion (BJOE) is the processed oil derived from the seeds of Brucea javanica, which has shown potential as a treatment option for several types of cancer.

Osimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), can improve progression-free survival and overall survival of patients but drug resistance is inevitable. The current study evaluated the effects of FYN in osimertinib-resistant HCC827OR and PC9OR cells.

The mitochondrial genome of Neochauliodes rotundatus (Megaloptera: Corydalidae) is a circular molecule of 15,774 bp in length, containing 37 typical mitochondrial genes: 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and a non-coding AT-rich region. Its gene order and arrangement are identical to the common type found in most insect mitogenomes. All PCGs start with a typical ATN codon except for the ND1 which uses TTG as its start codon; all PCGs terminate in the common stop codon TAA or TAG, except for the COI, COIII, ND3, ND5, ND4 and CYTB which use single T as their stop codons.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Daimio tethys (Hesperoidea: Hesperiidae) is a circular molecule of 15,341 bp in length, containing 37 typical animal mitochondrial genes: 13 protein coding genes (ATP6, ATP8, COI-III, ND1-6, ND4L, Cytb), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a non-coding AT-rich region. Its gene order and content are identical to all other available butterfly mitogenomes. All PCGs initiate with typical ATN codons, except for COI, which is initiated by the CGA codon as observed in other butterfly species.

The complete mitochondrial nucleotide sequence of Tirumala limniace is 15,285 bp in size, containing typical metazoan 37 genes: 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and one noncoding AT-rich region. All the 13 PCGs initiated with ATN, except for COI gene which is started by CGA codon. Nine PCGs use the complete termination codon (TAA), whereas the COI, COII, ND4 and ND5 genes end with single T.
