Monocyte programmed death-ligand 1 upregulation in early post-out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is associated with increased risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major public health problem. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common condition in OHCA patients. We investigated the relationship between the expression of programmed death-1 (PD-1) related molecules and the development and prognosis of ARDS.

Alteration in early resting‑state functional MRI activity in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest: a prospective cohort study.

Background: This study aimed to explore the characteristics of abnormal regional resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) activity in comatose patients in the early period after cardiac arrest (CA), and to investigate their relationships with neurological outcomes. We also explored the correlations between jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) and rs-fMRI activity in resuscitated comatose patients. We also examined the relationship between the amplitude of the N20-baseline and the rs-fMRI activity within the intracranial conduction pathway of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs).

Immune- and metabolism-related gene signature analysis uncovers the prognostic and immune microenvironments of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Metabolic reprogramming is an emerging hallmark that influences the tumour microenvironment (TME) by regulating the behavior of cancer cells and immune cells. The relationship between metabolism and immunity remains elusive. The purpose of this study was to explore the predictive value of immune- and metabolism-related genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their intricate interplay with TME.
