Background: Ubiquitin fold modifier 1 (UFM1) overexpression is associated with cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. However, the roles and pathways of UFM1 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has remained undefined.

Methods: The expression of UFM1 and the relationship between UFM1 expression and prognosis were investigated using data of OSCC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

Introduction: Aidi injection (Aidi), a traditional Chinese medicine injection, is often practiced to control malignant pleural effusion (MPE).

Objectives: We performed a registered systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42022337611) to clarify the clinical role of Aidi in MPE, reveal optimal combinations of Aidi and chemical agents, their indications, therapeutic route and usage, and demonstrate their clinical effectiveness and safety.

Methodology: All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about Aidi in controlling MPE were collected from Chinese and English databases (up to October 2022).

Long non-coding RNA ITGB1-DT is involved in the regulation of cancer growth and metastasis. However, the roles of ITGB1-DT in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression and sensitivity to cisplatin has not been elucidated. ITGB1-DT expression in NSCLC tissues, and the relationship between ITGB1-DT expression with NSCLC diagnosis, prognosis, clinicopathological features, and immune cell infiltration were investigated in The Cancer Gene Atlas (TCGA) database.

Objective: To investigate the COVID-19 vaccination coverage rate and differences among various COVID-19 prevention primary healthcare (PHC) facilities in China and understand their attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccine. These findings are helpful to provide important suggestions to further improve national COVID-19 vaccination rate.

Design: A nationwide cross-sectional online survey was designed and conducted among COVID-19 prevention and control management teams at PHC facilities in mainland China.

Background: During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) containment, primary health care (PHC) facilities inChina played an important role in providing both healthcare and public care services to community populations. The tasks of COVID-19 containment facilitated by PHC facilities were different among different regions and during different periods of COVID-19 pandemic. We sought to investigate the gaps on task participation, explore existing problems and provide corresponding solutions.

Article Synopsis
  • Thymic peptides (TPs) are utilized in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion (MPE), particularly linked to lung cancer, and this review aims to clarify their effectiveness and safety.
  • A systematic review of 34 trials revealed that the combination of thymosin and oxaliplatin significantly improves patient outcomes, including complete response rates and overall survival, especially in those with moderate to large effusions and adequate performance status.
  • The findings support the use of TPs, especially thymosin with L-OHP, as effective agents for pleurodesis in MPE, demonstrating both positive clinical responses and relatively good safety profiles.

This study aimed to explore the role and regulatory mechanism of hsa-miR-147b in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) through The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The expression and clinical value of miR-147b in LUSC were analyzed in the TCGA database. The target genes of miR-147b were screened via miRWalk 2.
