Research on the impact of the national ecological demonstration zone on green total factor productivity: Evidence from China.

China is currently confronted with the dilemma of achieving its green development goals while maintaining economic growth. The National Ecological Demonstration Zones (NEDZs) represent an innovative attempt by local governments to balance economic development with ecological civilisation, potentially offering a solution to this issue. This study calculated the Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP) for 1925 districts and counties from 1999 to 2018.

Symptom Burden among Older COVID-19 Survivors Two Years after Hospital Discharge.

To study the long-term symptom burden among older COVID-19 survivors 2 years after hospital discharge and identify associated risk factors. The current cohort study included COVID-19 survivors aged 60 years and above, who were discharged between February 12 and April 10, 2020, from two designated hospitals in Wuhan, China. All patients were contacted via telephone and completed a standardized questionnaire assessing self-reported symptoms, the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS)-fatigue subscale, and two subscales of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

Postoperative intermittent pneumatic compression for preventing venous thromboembolism in Chinese lung cancer patients: a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Postoperative lung cancer patients belong to the high-risk group for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The standardized preventive measures for perioperative VTE in lung cancer are not perfect, especially for the prevention and treatment of catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) caused by carried central venous catheters (CVCs) in lung cancer surgery.

Patients And Methods: This study included 460 patients with lung cancer undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in our center from July 2020 to June 2021.

Extra Spindle Pole Bodies-Like 1 Serves as a Prognostic Biomarker and Promotes Lung Adenocarcinoma Metastasis.

Extra spindle pole bodies-like 1 (ESPL1), a cysteine endopeptidase, plays a vital role in chromosome inheritance. However, the association of ESPL1 with prognosis and immune infiltration in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has not yet been explored. Here, we analyzed the expression level, prognostic values, diagnostic value, and immune infiltration level in LUAD using various databases.

An integrated model of and expression that predicts prognosis in lung squamous cell carcinoma patients.

Background: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) approximately accounts for a third of lung cancers. However, the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in LUSC remains largely unknown according to previous studies.

Methods: In this study, we investigated the mutations, copy number variants (CNVs), expression of 20 m6A RNA methylation regulators, and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas-LUSC (TCGA-LUSC).

Successful osimertinib rechallenge following subsequent chemotherapy regimen in a patient with metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma: a case report.

Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have a favorable and durable treatment response, almost all patients will eventually acquire resistance and develop disease progression. Re-administration of first and second-generation EGFR TKIs has been successfully executed in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) subsequent to EGFR-TKI resistance. However, osimertinib rechallenge following osimertinib resistance in EGFR T790M-negative patient is less explored.

Fibroblast phenotypes in different lung diseases.

Background: The "seed and soil" hypothesis emphasizes the importance of interactions between tumor cells and their microenvironment. CAFs (Cancer associated fibroblasts) are important components of the tumor microenvironment. They were widely involved in cancer cells growth and metastasis.

A bilateral neoplasm in chest: a case report and literature review.

Background: Myelolipoma is a rare neoplasm composed of yellowish adipose tissue and reddish-brown tissue corresponding to hematopoietic or hemorrhages. It typically occurs in adrenal glands as a solitary, well-circumscribed mass, and the thoracic location is extremely unusual.

Case Presentation: We present a rare case who is a 54 years old male with bilateral Myelolipoma of the posterior mediastinum.

"Unique trend" and "contradictory trend" in discrimination of primary synchronous lung cancer and metastatic lung cancer.

Background: Distinguishing between multiple primary lung cancers and metastatic tumors is often difficult when the tumor histology is same. Since genomic instability is a common feature of cancer, we hypothesized that independently arising neoplasms in an individual patient would exhibit measurable genomic variation, enabling discrimination of tumor lineage and relatedness. The feasibility of analyzing genomic instability expression profiles to distinguish multiple primary lung cancers from metastatic tumors was evaluated.
