Prognostic analysis of the plasma fibrinogen combined with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with non-small cell lung cancer after radical resection.

Background: To investigate the correlation between the fibrinogen combined with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (F-NLR) and the clinicopathologic features of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent radical resection.

Methods: This study reviewed the medical records of 289 patients with NSCLC who underwent radical resection. The patients were stratified into three groups based on F-NLR as follows: patients with low NLR and fibrinogen were group A, patients with high NLR or fibrinogen were group B, and patients with high NLR and fibrinogen were group C.

Key immune-related gene ITGB2 as a prognostic signature for acute myeloid leukemia.

Background: The tumor microenvironment (TME) has an essential role in tumorigenesis, progression, and therapeutic response in many cancers. Currently, the role of TME in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is unclear. This study investigated the correlation between immune-related genes and prognosis in AML patients.

Dipetidyl peptidase-4 and transferrin receptor serve as prognostic biomarkers for acute myeloid leukemia.

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common hematological malignancy in adult patients. Ferroptosis-related signatures have been shown to act as regulators of the progression of multiple cancer types, but the role of ferroptosis in AML remains to be elucidated. We performed the present study to preliminarily investigate the roles of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) in AML.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of N-(piperidin-4-yl)benzamide derivatives as activators of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 pathways.

Guided by bioisosterism and pharmacokinetic parameters, we designed and synthesized a series of novel benzamide derivatives. Preliminary in vitro studies indicated that compounds 10b and 10j show significant inhibitory bioactivity in HepG2 cells (IC values of 0.12 and 0.

Structure-based design, structure-activity relationship analysis, and antitumor activity of diaryl ether derivatives.

To identify novel therapeutic agents to treat cancer, we synthesized a series of diaryl ether derivatives. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that the presence of a chlorine or hydroxyl at the para-position on the phenyl ring (5h or 5k) significantly enhanced antitumor activity. Compound 5h had stronger growth inhibitory activity in HepG2, A549, and HT-29 cells than compound 5k, with IC50 values of 2.

Evaluation of Novel N-(piperidine-4-yl)benzamide Derivatives as Potential Cell Cycle Inhibitors in HepG2 Cells.

In this study, a series of novel N-(piperidine-4-yl)benzamide derivatives was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for antitumor activity. Some compounds were found to have potent antitumor activity. In particular, compound 47 showed the most potent biological activity against HepG2 cells, with an IC50 value of 0.
