Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of bevacizumab (Bev) in reducing peritumoral brain edema (PTBE) after stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) for lung cancer brain metastases.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 44 patients with lung cancer brain metastases (70 lesions) who were admitted to our oncology and Gamma Knife center from January 2020 to May 2022. All patients received intracranial SRT and had PTBE.
Objectives: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly prevalent subtype of malignant renal tumor, but unfortunately, the survival rate remains unsatisfactory. The aim of the present study is to explore genomic features that are correlated with cancer stage, allowing for the identification of subgroups of ccRCC patients with high risk of unfavorable outcomes and enabling prompt intervention and treatment.
Methods: We compared the gene expression levels across ccRCC patients with diverse cancer stages from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, which revealed characteristic genes associated with tumor stage.
Objectives: The study explored the association between rs10069690C/T and rs2736100G/T of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene, and the prognosis of thyroid cancer.
Methods: The study had 452 thyroid cancer patients recruited as case group who hospitalized in Jingzhou Central Hospital from January 2001 to June 2004 and 452 healthy people recruited as control group at the same area. The hTERT gene polymorphisms at rs10069690 C/T and rs2736100 G/T were tested by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate and compare two methods for measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in petrochemical factories: thermal desorption tubes and stainless steel canisters.
- Researchers collected air samples from twelve factories in Mailiao Industrial Complex using both methods over a six-hour period, analyzing a total of 94 paired samples.
- Results showed strong consistency for some VOCs between the methods, but statistically significant differences in measurements for others, indicating systematic errors likely due to differences in detection limits.
