Utilizing TP53 hotspot mutations as effective predictors of gemcitabine treatment outcome in non-small-cell lung cancer.

TP53 mutations are recognized to correlate with a worse prognosis in individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). There exists an immediate necessity to pinpoint selective treatment for patients carrying TP53 mutations. Potential drugs were identified by comparing drug sensitivity differences, represented by the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), between TP53 mutant and wild-type NSCLC cell lines using database analysis.

Effectiveness of text message reminder and motivational interview on adherence to methadone treatment in Vietnam: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is effective for treating opioid dependence. However, nonadherence can increase the risk of withdrawal syndrome, relapse, and overdose.

Methods: A community-based randomized controlled trial was conducted on 450 opioid-dependent patients undergoing MMT at three clinics in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Distinct causes of three phenotypic hallmarks of hematopoietic aging.

Hematopoietic aging is characterized by chronic inflammation associated with myeloid bias, HSC accumulation, and functional HSC impairment. Yet it remains unclear how inflammation promotes these aging phenotypes. NFkappaB both responds to and directs inflammation, and we present an experimental model of elevated NFkappaB activity (IkappaBminus) to dissect its role in hematopoietic aging phenotypes.
