NLRC3, a negative regulator, exhibits considerable potential in the realm of lung cancer immunotherapy by virtue of its profound impact on the immune response intensity, primarily through its regulatory effects on the cGAS-STING pathway. The inhibition of NLRC3 has been found to augment the activity of the aforementioned pathway, thereby enhancing the anti-tumor immune response. This comprehensive review endeavors to elucidate the molecular and genetic structures of NLRC3, its role within the immune system, and its interaction with the cGAS-STING pathway, with a particular emphasis on its potential applications in lung cancer immunotherapy.

Background: Patients with cancer rely on morphine for analgesia, while studies have indicated morphine can induce immunosuppression in cancer. Therefore, investigating the immunosuppressive roles and molecular mechanism of morphine on lung cancer progression is imperative.
Methods: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity of morphine to lung cancer cells.

This study aimed to identify genetic biomarkers in pancreatic cancer (PC) and explore its function in PC via a feature-base analysis of bioinformatics. OMIM and DisGeNET databases discovered 209 PC connected genes and then 516 connected genes were identified. We selected 29 genes according to optimal features and chose COL1A2, which had the highest expression, for the following experiment.

Evaluation of inhibition potential of danshen's major ingredients towards UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) will be helpful for understanding detailed mechanisms for danshen-drugs interaction. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the inhibitory situation of cryptotanshinone and dihydrotanshinone I towards UGT enzyme-catalyzed propofol glucuronidation.

Seven weeks old male mice were fixed in a restraint tube for 18 h to induce liver damage. SLE was orally administered to animals for 5 days at dosages of 100 and 200 mg/kg/day before exposed to restraint stress.

Materials And Methods: The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprint of SLE was recorded and the percentage composition of schisandra lignans was determined as 82.63%.
In the title compound, C(14)H(16)N(2)O(4)S(2), the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring planes is 76.8 (3)° and the S-N-N-S torsion angle is 122.5 (3)°.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the clinical and pathohistological responses and effects of preoperative bronchial artery infusion (BAI) chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced (stage III) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: A total of 92 patients with locally advanced NSCLC were randomly divided into two groups.
