Objective: To apply an integrated omics analysis so as to discover potential biomarkers for an early diagnosis of osteosarcoma.
Methods: Gene chip and surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectra (SELDI-TOF-MS) were employed to screen the marker genes and serum markers of osteosarcoma respectively. The associations of potential biomarkers from the SELDI data and microarray analysis were further inferred by Link-test to identify stable and specific diagnostic biomarkers.
Results: A total of 653 pre-biomarkers were found in osteosarcoma cells. And six differentially expressed protein peaks with strong statistical significances were detected by SELDI-TOF-MS in the patient's serum samples. Thirteen potential biomarkers for an early diagnosis of osteosarcoma were screened by Link-test.
Conclusion: As an effective method of identifying osteosarcoma biomarkers, the integrated omics analysis may serve as a monitoring platform for an early diagnosis of osteosarcoma.

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM), a severe form of non-purulent meningitis caused by (Mtb), is the most critical extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) manifestation, with a 30-40% mortality rate despite available treatment. The absence of distinctive clinical symptoms and effective diagnostic tools complicates early detection. Recent advancements in nucleic acid detection, genomics, metabolomics, and proteomics have led to novel diagnostic approaches, improving sensitivity and specificity.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are pivotal biomarkers for cancer screening. Identifying distinctive expression patterns of miRNAs in specific cancer types can serve as an effective strategy for classification and characterization. However, the development of a minimal signature of miRNAs for accurate cancer classification remains challenging, hindered by the lack of integrated approaches that systematically analyse miRNA expression levels of miRNAs alongside their associated biological pathways.

Pneumoconiosis is a widespread occupational pulmonary disease caused by inhalation and retention of dust particles in the lungs, is characterized by chronic pulmonary inflammation and progressive fibrosis, potentially leading to respiratory and/or heart failure. Workers exposed to dust, such as coal miners, foundry workers, and construction workers, are at risk of pneumoconiosis. This review synthesizes the international and national classifications, epidemiological characteristics, strategies for prevention, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of pneumoconiosis.
