p62/SQSTM1 is the scaffold protein implicated in selective autophagy, which is induced by cellular stress. Research has shown that p62 is highly expressed in cancer. Moreover, p62 can easily promote tumor metastasis. However, studies have not reached a consensus on the relationship of p62 expression with the diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on p62 expression in the prognosis and clinical-pathological parameters of lung cancer patients. Literature search was performed with PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and SpringerLink databases. Fixed-effects and random-effects models were used to study the relationship of p62 expression with patients' overall survival (OS) and clinical-pathological parameters. I2 was used to test for heterogeneity. Egger's test was used to assess publication bias. The meta-analysis collected and considered 13 articles, which included 1393 lung cancer patients. The studies show that the high expression of p62 is associated with poor OS in lung cancer patients. The clinical-pathological parameters of patients show that p62 is more highly expressed in high TNM stage (II + III + IV VS. I), Lymph node metastasis (N1 VS. N0), and distant metastases (D1 VS. D0). However, there is no correlation between the p62 expression and the Beclin 1 and LC3B in lung cancer patients. In conclusion, the over-expression of p62 is associated with poor OS in lung cancer patients and can be used as a biomarker for lung cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Current fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) studies primarily focus on alcohol's actions on the fetal brain although respiratory infections are a leading cause of morbidity/mortality in newborns. The limited studies examining the pulmonary adaptations in FASD demonstrate decreased surfactant protein A and alveolar macrophage phagocytosis, impaired differentiation, and increased risk of Group B streptococcal pneumonia with no study examining sexual dimorphism in adaptations. We hypothesized that developmental alcohol exposure in pregnancy will lead to sexually dimorphic fetal lung morphological and immune adaptations.

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common form of lung cancer and one of the most life-threatening malignant tumors. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent regulatory cell death pathway that is crucial for tumor growth. SNX30 is a key regulatory factor in cardiac development; however, its regulatory mechanism and role in inducing ferroptosis in lung adenocarcinoma remain unclear.

Background: Acute exacerbation (AEx) of interstitial pneumonia is the most common lethal adverse event related to the pharmacological treatment of patients with lung cancer complicated with interstitial pneumonia. Although small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is linked to poor prognosis, it exhibits good response to chemotherapy. Few previous research studies have investigated the safety and efficacy of treatment for advanced SCLC complicated with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP).

Background: Recent advancements in contemporary therapeutic approaches have increased the survival rates of lung cancer patients; however, the long-term benefits remain constrained, underscoring the pressing need for novel biomarkers. Surfactant-associated 3 (SFTA3), a long non-coding RNA predominantly expressed in normal lung epithelial cells, plays a crucial role in lung development. Nevertheless, its function in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains inadequately understood.

Background: Esophageal ultrasound with bronchoscope fine needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer, complementing endobronchial lung ultrasound (EBUS). While generally considered safe, there is a notable lack of comprehensive knowledge within the interventional pulmonology community regarding potential complications.
Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 66-year-old male with squamous cell lung carcinoma undergoing mediastinal staging.
