Background: In the past, multiple studies have offered incremental evidence that indicates that competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks are involved in tumor growth and present novel therapeutic targets. Herein, we investigated the impact of thymidine kinase 1 ()-related ceRNA networks on the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: expression data in NSCLC and normal tissue samples were retrieved from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and were then compared.
Background: Approximately 80% of lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the main subtype of NSCLC. The incidence and mortality of lung cancer are also increasing yearly.

WTAP exerts mA modification by binding to methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) in the nucleus to form the METTL3-methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14)-WTAP (MMW) complex, a core component of the methyltransferase complex (MTC), and localizing to the nuclear patches.

Methods: A total of 120 elderly patients with primary NSCLC who were treated surgically in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2021 were selected and divided into the study group and the control group according to the different surgical procedures, 60 patients in each group. CVATS was used in the observation group and TOS in the control group.
Background: Studies have demonstrated that the regulatory role of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks is closely related to tumorigenesis, which provides new targets for tumor therapy. In this study, the focus was to explore the ceRNA networks that regulate expression and their prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Purpose: To investigate the expression profile of systemic RNA interference deficient-1 transmembrane family member 1 (SIDT1) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and assess its prognostic value and immune infiltration.
Materials And Methods: A tissue microarray (TMA) was purchased containing 60 paired NSCLC tissues and matched para-tumor tissues, and another TMA was constructed comprising 140 NSCLC tissues. Then, immunohistochemical staining and scoring were performed.
The X-ray repair cross-complementing gene () family participates in DNA damage repair and its dysregulation is associated with the development and progression of a variety of cancers. However, have not been systematically studied in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Oncomine databases, we compared the expression levels of between NSCLC and normal tissues and performed survival analysis using the data from TCGA.

The aim of our study was to construct a model with IRLPs to predict the survival status and immune landscape of LUAD patients. Based on TCGA-LUAD dataset, a risk assessment model with IRLPs was established.

Methods: For investigating the expression of KIF11 in NSCLC, two tissue microarrays (TMAs: one contained 60 paired NSCLC tissues and paratumor tissues, the other contained 140 NSCLC tissues and 10 normal lung tissues) were constructed, stained, and scored. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets were used to explore the differential expression level of KIF11 between NSCLC and paratumor.
Purpose: To investigate the expression profile and prognostic value of RAD21 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: A tissue microarray (TMA) containing 60 paired NSCLC tissues and peritumor tissues was purchased and another TMA containing 140 NSCLC tissues was constructed. Then, immunohistochemical staining was performed and scored.

Background: Although pleurodesis is usually used to reduce the recurrence rate for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) in surgery, existing techniques cannot meet the higher requirements of little surgical injury and less relapse. Hence, we developed a new pleurodesis technique and named multipoint pleura cautery.
Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness and outcomes of the uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery C-shaped pleura cautery in the surgical treatment of PSP.
As a member of the tripartite motif family, tripartite motif-containing protein 59 (TRIM59) serves as an E3 ubiquitin ligase in various cellular processes, including intracellular signaling, development, apoptosis, protein quality control, innate immunity, autophagy and carcinogenesis. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and prognostic value of TRIM59 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Expression of TRIM59 in patients with NSCLC was measured by immunohistochemistry in tissue microarrays.

A biomarker or gene signature that could predict survival in these patients would have a substantial clinical impact, allowing for earlier detection of mortality risk and for individualized therapy.
Methods: With the aim to identify a novel mRNA signature associated with overall survival, we analysed LUAD patients with LNM extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
Purpose: Lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, shows a poor 5-year overall survival rate. In our previous study, we demonstrated that miR-486-5p can be a potential blood-based biomarker for early diagnosis and recurrence prediction of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible roles and related target genes of miR-486-5p in NSCLC progression.

HIF-2α can upregulate drug-resistant-related genes expression and lead to chemotherapy resistance in many tumors. However, little is known about the relationship between HIF-2α and chemotherapy resistance of lung cancer cells.

Purpose: To investigate the expression profile and prognostic value of SLC6A10P in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Patients And Methods: TCGA datasets were used to investigate the differential expression of SLC6A10P in NSCLC, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Expression of SLC6A10P was measured by in situ hybridization in tissue microarrays containing 136 NSCLC (51 LUAD and 85 LUSC) patients.
HIF-α may play an important role in the process of tumorigenesis as well as tumor progression. Although a number of investigations have established the significance of HIF-1α in several human tumors, there is still little information available on the clinical significance of HIF-2α expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In present study, immunohistologic expression of HIF-1α/ HIF-2α was studied in a tissue microarray of 140 Stage I-III NSCLCs and correlated with clinicopathologic parameters and clinical outcome.
