Bone metastasis is common in breast cancer and more effective therapies are required, however, its molecular mechanism is poorly understood. Additionally, the role of the mA reader YTHDF1 in bone metastasis of breast cancer has not been reported. Here, we reveal that the increased expression of YTHDF1 is clinically correlated with breast cancer bone metastases.

Intraperitoneal dissemination is the main method of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) metastasis, which is related to poor prognosis and a high recurrence rate. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of endogenous RNAs with covalently closed loop structures that are implicated in the regulation of tumor development. In this study, hsa_circ_0001546 is downregulated in EOC primary and metastatic tissues vs.

Introduction: Postoperative sleep disturbances significantly impair postoperative recovery. The administration of intravenous esketamine has been shown to potentially improve postoperative sleep quality. However, the effectiveness of epidural esketamine in improving postoperative sleep quality remains to be elucidated.

Article Synopsis
  • Bone metastasis is common in renal cell carcinoma and has a poor prognosis, prompting the need to explore potential therapeutic targets through a detailed analysis of single-cell transcriptomes from both primary and metastatic tumors.* -
  • The study reveals significant immune deficiencies in the bone metastatic environment, highlighting the role of cancer-associated fibroblasts and a dominance of immune inhibitory T cells, which could be targeted for treatment.* -
  • Dynamic changes among various cell types, including the transition of myeloid-derived suppressor cells to macrophages, are observed, pointing to potential avenues for developing new therapies for bone metastatic renal cell carcinoma.*

Objective: Anesthesia is correlated with the prognosis of cancer surgery. However, evidence from prospective studies focusing on breast cancer is currently limited. This systematic review aimed to investigate the effect of anesthesia-related interventions on oncological outcomes following breast cancer surgery in prospective studies.

Article Synopsis
  • Platinum-taxane chemotherapy is the standard first-line treatment for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), but the major issue is drug resistance to cisplatin.
  • Aurora Kinase A (AURKA) interacts with DDX5 to form a complex that increases the oncogenic long non-coding RNA TMEM147-AS1, which contributes to cisplatin resistance through a feedback loop involving let-7 and lipophagy.
  • Combining TMEM147-AS1 siRNA with VX-680 may enhance treatment effectiveness by reducing AURKA levels and activity, offering a potential new strategy to tackle EOC treatment resistance and improve patient outcomes.

Background: Shoulder pain is commonly reported after hepatic surgery; however, the factors affecting post-hepatectomy shoulder pain remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors of shoulder pain after hepatectomy.

Methods: This prospective cohort study recruited 218 patients who underwent hepatic resection at our hospital from June to September 2022.

Purpose: To report the effectiveness and safety of transcatheter arterial sclerosing embolization (TASE) for the treatment of parotid infantile hemangiomas that did not respond appreciably to propranolol.

Materials And Methods: A total of 21 infants (12 male and 9 female) with large propranolol-resistant infantile hemangiomas in the parotid region were enrolled in this study. During TASE, the feeding arteries of the lesions were embolized using pingyangmycin-lipiodol emulsion and polyvinyl alcohol particles (300-500 μm) to reduce the blood flow rate.

Repeat sclerotherapy of lymphatic malformations (LMs) is challenging. Accordingly, the aim of the present article is to describe a simulated angiography technique-a new method of bleomycin infusion for the treatment of LMs to achieve better outcome(s) in fewer sessions. A retrospective analysis of information housed in a prospectively collected LM database was performed.

Non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 () is one novel low frequency mutated gene identified in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) using next-generation sequencing. However, its clinical relevance, potential function and mechanisms remain elusive. Genomic sequencing datas from 104 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cases were screened a series of low frequency mutant genes.

Background: To investigate the epidemiological and phenotypic characteristics and molecular relatedness of , which were cultured from the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples isolated from two neonates.

Methods: In the present case study, two infected neonates were interviewed and epidemiological investigation performed. The phenotypic characteristics and molecular relatedness of was characterized by serotyping, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and whole-genome sequencing (WGS).

Background: The clinical outcomes of patients with resected TNM non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the same tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage are diverse. Although other prognostic factors and prognostic prediction tools have been reported in many published studies, a convenient, accurate and specific prognostic prediction software for clinicians has not been developed. The purpose of our research was to develop this type of software that can analyze subdivided T and N staging and additional factors to predict prognostic risk and the corresponding mean and median survival time and 1-5-year survival rates of patients with resected TNM NSCLC.

Ubiquitin-specific protease 44 (USP44) has been reported as a tumor suppressor or promoter in some tumors, but its function in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unclear. In this study, USP44 was found significantly downregulated in both of NSCLC tissues and cell lines, and low expression of USP44 predicted a poor prognosis for NSCLC patients. Overexpression of USP44 markedly downregulated the expression levels of Cyclin D1 and CDK4, but upregulated p53 expression, as a result of which, suppressing the cell growth of NSCLC cells.
