KRAS is the most commonly mutated oncogene in human tumors, especially in lung, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers. Small-molecule inhibitors targeting mutant KRAS demonstrated promising anti-tumor effect in patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring KRAS mutation, while the intrinsic and acquired drug resistance occurred frequently and might be inevitable. Unlike the protein-level inhibition approach, gene silencing/editing tools for DNA-level knockout and RNA-level knockdown of mutant KRAS may be advantageous since these approaches directly eliminate the production of mutant KRAS-encoded protein.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore clinical effect of community physician-guided long-term domiciliary oxygen therapy (LTDOT) on patients with Stage IV chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Design: A retrospective study.

Methods: Fifty-four patients with Stage IV COPD were recruited and randomly divided into two groups (the LTDOT group and the control group).

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the gene expression profile of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and non-COPD patients.

Methods: Microarray raw data (GSE29133) was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus, including three COPD samples and three normal controls. Gene expression profiling was performed using Affymetrix human genome u133 plus 2.
