Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant cancers worldwide. Metastasis leads to poor prognoses in GC patients in advanced stages. Our previous studies have demonstrated that JWA functions as a tumour suppressor and that low expression of JWA in GC tissues is significantly correlated with shorter overall survival (OS) as well as with advanced clinicopathologic features in patients. However, the mechanism of dysregulation of JWA in cancers is not clear. In the present study, we found that an E3 ubiquitin ligase, RNF185, directly interacted with JWA and promoted its ubiquitination at the K158 site, resulting in subsequent degradation. Moreover, the protein level of RNF185 was negatively correlated with JWA in tumour tissues from GC patients. High RNF185 expression was significantly correlated with shorter OS. Additionally, increased RNF185 expression facilitated GC cell migration in vitro and promoted GC metastasis in vivo by downregulating JWA expression. However, this effect was reversed by replenishment of JWA. In conclusion, our findings highlight the following: (1) RNF185 promotes GC metastasis by mediating JWA degradation via a ubiquitin-proteasome pathway; (2) the K158 site of JWA is essential for its ubiquitination in GC cells. These findings suggest that RNF185 is a novel candidate prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for GC.

Medical research within areas of deep learning, particularly in computer vision for medical imaging, has shown promise over the past decade with an increasing volume of technical papers published in orthopaedics related to imaging artificial intelligence (AI). However, as more tools and models are developed and deployed, it is easy for clinicians to get overwhelmed with the different types of models, leaving "artificial intelligence" as an empty buzzword where true value can be unclear. As with surgery, the techniques of deep learning require thoughtful application and cannot follow a one-size-fits-all approach as different problems require differential levels of technical complexity with model application.

Background & Aims: The global pandemic caused by the highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 virus led to the emergency approval of COVID-19 vaccines to reduce rising morbidity and mortality. However, limited research exists on evaluating the impact of these vaccines on immunocompromised individuals, such as recipients of living donor liver transplantation, highlighting the need for further studies to better understand their effectiveness in this specific population.
Methods: From June 2021, we followed up on the effectiveness of the vaccine for patients taking immunosuppressive drugs after living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT).

Article Synopsis
- Accurate detection of driver gene mutations is key for treating lung cancer, but traditional methods require high-quality tissue samples and can be too slow or unavailable for many patients, especially in low-resource areas.
- The study developed an AI model called DeepGEM, which uses routine histological slides to predict gene mutations without needing prior annotation or high-quality samples.
- The model was trained and tested on a large dataset of lung cancer patients across multiple hospitals in China, showing promising results in predicting gene mutations, which was further validated on external and public datasets.
