Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like (UUL) modifications play pleiotropic functions and are subject to fine regulatory mechanisms frequently altered in cancer. However, the comprehensive impact of UUL modification on breast cancer remains unclear. Transcriptomic and clinical data of breast cancer were downloaded from TCGA and GEO databases.

Methods: The study enrolled 120 pregnant women who were the 24th and 28th weeks of gestation, including GDM group ( = 58), the control group ( = 62). The NLR, PLR and MPV levels were measured.
Our previous studies suggest that Th17 cells accumulate within tumor tissues and correlate with recurrence of cervical cancer patients. However, the source of the increased tumor-infiltrating Th17 cells remains poorly understood. We investigated the prevalence, phenotype and trafficking property of Th17 cells in patients with cervical cancer.

The immune contexture in human tumors has vital impact on clinical outcome. Our aim in the study was to establish a predictive model of local recurrence by assessing the prognostic significance of clinicopathologic features and five immune markers within the tumor microenvironment in cervical cancer.
