Purpose: To investigate the association between a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of ERCC1, Asn118Asn (C → T), and the response of patients with late-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (n = 142) to cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
Methods: The SNP, Asn118Asn (C → T), in codon 118 of ERCC1 was detected using an AllGlo™ Probe-based real-time PCR kit. The short-term clinical outcomes were evaluated by measuring complete and partial responses (CR and PR), whereas progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined to indicate long-term outcomes.
Results: The allelic frequencies of the ERCC1 codon 118 were found to be 60.6% (C/C), 33.1% (C/T), and 6.3% (T/T), respectively. Overall, the CR and PR to cisplatin-based treatment were 33.1%. Notably, the response rate of patients carrying an ERCC1 118 C/C allele was more than twofold higher than that of patients with a C/T or T/T genotype (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.065-3.910, P = 0.032). Correspondingly, the long-term median PFS and OS of patients carrying the ERCC1 118 C/C allele were significantly longer than those of patients carrying a C/T or T/T allele (P < 0.01). Besides, positive correlation was observed between the differentiation status and tumor staging as well as the C/C genotype.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that this polymorphism of ERCC1 at codon 118 is associated with patient response to cisplatin-based chemotherapy in treatments of late-stage NSCLC. Moreover, by assaying this SNP in blood cells, the ERCC1 codon 118 may represent a valuable biomarker in developing individualized treatments for NSCLC patients.

Background: Patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer (BC) can be treated with endocrine therapy targeting ER, however, metastatic recurrence occurs in 25% of the patients who have initially been treated. Secreted proteins from tumors play important roles in cancer metastasis but previous methods for isolating secretory proteins had limitations in identifying novel targets.
Methods: We applied an in situ secretory protein labeling technique using TurboID to analyze secretome from tamoxifen-resistant (TAMR) BC.

Background: China has always been a country with a high burden of tuberculosis. In order to end TB, the Chinese government launched three plans for TB prevention and control. The Chinese government implemented the National 13th Five-Year plan for Tuberculosis Prevention and Control (2016-2020) to promote TB prevention and control from policy, technology, health promotion and other aspects from 2016 to 2020.

Background: Dementia patients commonly present multiple neuropathologies, worsening cognitive function, yet structural neuroimaging signatures of dementia have not been positioned in the context of combined pathology. In this study, we implemented an MRI voxel-based approach to explore combined and independent effects of dementia pathologies on grey and white matter structural changes.
Methods: In 91 amnestic dementia patients with post-mortem brain donation, grey matter density and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) burdens were obtained from pre-mortem MRI and analyzed in relation to Alzheimer's, vascular, Lewy body, TDP-43, and hippocampal sclerosis (HS) pathologies.
Background: Antibiomania is the manifestation of manic symptoms secondary to taking an antibiotic, which is a rare side effect. In these cases, the antibiotics most often incriminated are macrolides and quinolones, but to our knowledge, there are no published cases of antibiomania secondary to cotrimoxazole. Furthermore, we also provide an update of pharmacovigilance data concerning antibiomania through a search of the World Health Organization (WHO) database.

Background: Meier-Gorlin syndrome (MGORS) is a rare autosomal inherited form of primordial dwarfism. Pathogenic variants in 13 genes involved in DNA replication initiation have been identified in this disease, but homozygous intronic variants have never been reported. Additionally, whether growth hormone (GH) treatment can increase the height of children with MGORS is unclear.
