Signature based on metabolic-related gene pairs can predict overall survival of osteosarcoma patients.

Background: Osteosarcoma is a tumour of malignant origin in children and adolescents. Recent progression indicates that it is necessary to develop new therapies to improve the patient's prognosis rather than strengthen anti-tumour chemotherapy. Researchers recently realised that cancer is a kind of disease with a metabolic disorder, and metabolic reprogramming is becoming a new cancer hallmark.

The best optical zone for small-incision lenticule extraction in high myopic patients.

Small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) is an effective and safe procedure for the correction of myopia due to minimally invasive and noncorneal flap surgery. However, the SMILE procedure has certain requirements for corneal cap thickness, attempted refractive correction, residual stromal bed thickness, and optical zone diameter, which sometimes make surgeons hesitant to choose SMILE or other refractive surgeries. The requirements limit its use in patients with high myopia.
