In breast carcinoma, invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the most common histopathologic subtype, and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a precursor of IDC. These two often occur concomitantly. The immunohistochemical staining of estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR) in IDC/DCIS on histopathologic whole slide images (WSIs) can predict the prognosis of patients.

Melatonin is an important endogenous hormone that modulates homeostasis in the microenvironment. Recent studies have indicated that serum melatonin levels are closely associated with the occurrence and development of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Exogenous melatonin could also improve bone mass and increase skeletal strength.

We therefore explored the role of KLHL17 in the development and progression of NSCLC. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting showed that KLHL17 expression was significantly higher in the tumor tissues from 173 patients with NSCLC, compared with the corresponding non-neoplastic tissue.

Patient Concerns: A 54-year-old Chinese woman presented with memory loss for a month and walking instability for 15 days.
Diagnosis: Magnetic resonance imaging showed a mass shadow of isometric T1 and slightly longer T2 with mild mixed signals in the third ventricle of the suprasellar region.
NSCLC is common and is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths due to a lack of early diagnosis and its propensity for metastasis. The pathogenesis of NSCLC is still unclear. Here, we explored the molecular mechanisms underlying NSCLC development, focusing on the HOXC-AS3/YBX1/HOXC8 axis.

Methods: Cell proliferation was determined by MTT and colony formation assays.
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80% of lung cancer cases. TBC1D23, a member of the TBC/RABGAP family, is widely expressed in human tissues; however, its role in NSCLC is currently unknown. Immunohistochemical analysis was conducted on 173 paraffin-embedded lung tissue sections from patients with NSCLC from 2014 to 2018 at the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University.

This study aimed to explore the role of RNF19A, as well as the underlying potential mechanism, in the development of NSCLC. Here, we found that RNF19A was overexpressed in NSCLC tissues, and RNF19A expression in NSCLC tissue samples was associated with NSCLC carcinogenesis and poor outcome.
