In precision cancer therapy, addressing intra-tumor heterogeneity poses a significant obstacle. Due to the heterogeneity of each cell subtype and between cells within the tumor, the sensitivity and resistance of different patients to targeted drugs, chemotherapy, , are inconsistent. Concerning a specific tumor type, many feasible treatments or combinations can be used by specifically targeting the tumor microenvironment.

Methods: The cellular senescence score was calculated using gene set variation analysis.
Objective: To explore the value of the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) and the systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) in patients with severe hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) upon admission.
Methods: This study included a total of 165 patients with HFRS, who were divided into mild and severe groups based on the severity of the disease. By reviewing medical records, we collected the white blood cell (WBC), SII, and SIRI values of patients upon admission.

It is urgent to develop an efficient and stable non-noble metal catalyst for selective C-H bond oxidation of cyclohexane. Herein, a series of V-W oxides supported on TiO catalysts (V-W/TiO) were fabricated. The V-W/TiO catalysts exhibited much higher catalytic activity for the selective oxidation of cyclohexane to KA oil, compared to that of V/TiO and W/TiO catalysts.

Methods: We first identified the key efferocytosis-related genes (ERGs) based on the expression matrix.
Introduction And Objectives: Blood glucose fluctuates severely in the diabetes (DM) and tumor microenvironment. Our previous works have found Hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) differentially regulated metastasis and apoptosis of hepatoma cells depending on glucose concentration. We here aimed to explore whether HBx played dual roles in the angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma varying on different glucose levels.

However, the specific pathogenesis of CRC remains poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the role and pathogenesis of serine and arginine rich splicing factor 10 (SRSF10) in colorectal cancer.

Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) remains the standard diagnostic method for assessing TN malignancy, although a majority of FNA results indicate benign conditions. Balancing diagnostic accuracy while mitigating overdiagnosis in patients with benign nodules poses a significant clinical challenge.

This method offers a novel route for the direct synthesis of a series of CMeCF-containing quinazolinones from basic chemical raw materials. The reaction mechanism was studied by a radical trapping test and DFT methods, verifying an oxidation-triggered cascade process promoted by the CMeCF radicals.

Methods: Multi-transcriptome sequencing data were utilized to analyze the ferroptosis level of CML samples and its correlation with the tumor microenvironment, disease progression, and treatment response. Machine learning algorithms were employed to identify diagnostic ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs).
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a highly heterogeneous ecosystem that plays critical roles in the initiation, progression, invasion, and metastasis of cancers. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), as emerging components of the host-tumor communication, are lipid-bilayer membrane structures that are secreted by most cell types into TEM and increasingly recognized as critical elements that regulate the interaction between tumor cells and their surroundings. They contain a variety of bioactive molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, and participate in various pathophysiological processes while regulating intercellular communication.

Aim: To investigate the role and mechanism of a novel miR-490-3p/hnRNPA1-b/PKM2 axis in enhancing the Warburg effect and promoting CC cell proliferation through the PI3K/AKT pathway.
Methods: Paraffin-embedded pathological sections from 220 CC patients were collected and subjected to immunohistochemical analysis to determine the expression of hnRNPA1-b.

Presently, the improvement of soil organic matter is the basis to ensure food security, but the accumulation and transformation characteristics of soil phosphorus (P) as affected by organic matter remain unclear. The accumulation, transformation, and migration characteristics of soil P in different soil layers of vegetable fields were researched under the application of organic materials. Six treatments were set up in the experiment:control (no fertilization), traditional fertilizer application by farmers, biochar, chicken manure, food waste, and straw application.

This study aimed to identify potential risk factors contributing to the occurrence of distant metastasis in OCCC.
Methods: Utilizing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we identified patients diagnosed with OCCC between 2004 and 2015.
Background: Although chronic erosive gastritis (CEG) is common, its clinical characteristics have not been fully elucidated. The lack of consensus regarding its treatment has resulted in varied treatment regimens.
Aim: To explore the clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and short-term outcomes in CEG patients in China.
Returning organic nutrient sources (for example, straw and manure) to rice fields is inevitable for coupling crop-livestock production. However, an accurate estimate of net carbon (C) emissions and strategies to mitigate the abundant methane (CH) emission from rice fields supplied with organic sources remain unclear. Here, using machine learning and a global dataset, we scaled the field findings up to worldwide rice fields to reconcile rice yields and net C emissions.
