SIRT2 play important roles in cell cycle and cellular metabolism in the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and SIRT2 exhibits its therapeutic effect on NSCLC tumors with high expression of SIRT2. Nevertheless, the clinical relevance of SIRT2 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), particularly its impact on tumor growth and prognostic implications, remains obscure. This investigation entailed a comprehensive analysis of SIRT2 mRNA and protein expression levels in diverse tumor and corresponding healthy tissues, utilizing databases such as TIMER 2.

In this paper, a nonlinear partial-state feedback control is designed for a 3-DOF pantograph-catenary system by using backstepping approach, such that the contacting force of the closed-loop system is capable of tracking its reference profile. In the control design, the pantograph-catenary model is transformed into a triangular form, facilitating the utilization of backstepping. Derivatives of virtual controls in backstepping are calculated explicitly.
