Background: The dysregulation of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as miRNAs and lncRNAs are associated with the pathogenesis and progression in multiple cancers including solid tumors. Comprehensive investigations of prognosis-related ncRNA markers could promote the development of therapeutic strategies for solid tumors, but rarely reported.

Methods: By taking advantage of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), pan-cancer prognosis analysis (PCPA) models were firstly constructed based on miRNA and lncRNA expression profiles of 8,450 samples in 19 solid tumors. Further, the co-occurrence and exclusivity among ncRNA markers were systematically analyzed for different cancers.

Results: In identified ncRNA makers, 71% of the miRNA markers were shared in multiple cancers, whereas 96% of the lncRNA markers were cancer-specific. Moreover, to analyze the regulation patterns of prognosis-related ncRNAs at the pan-cancer level, miRNA markers were further annotated into eight carcinogenic pathways. Results represented that approximately 86% of these miRNA markers could regulate the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, while only 48% for the Notch signaling pathway. Finally, among 126 common genes that participated in eight carcinogenic pathways, BCL2, CSNK2A1, EGFR, PDGFRA, and VEGFA were proposed as potential drug targets for multiple cancers.

Conclusion: The prognosis analysis and regulation characteristics of ncRNAs presented in this study may help to facilitate the discovery of anti-cancer drugs for multiple solid tumors.

Background: A precise observation is that the cervix's solid tumors possess hypoxic regions where the oxygen concentration drops below 1.5%. Hypoxia negatively impacts the host's immune system and significantly diminishes the effectiveness of several treatments, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Aims: CAR-T cell therapy has attracted considerable attention in recent years owing to its well-known efficacy against haematopoietic malignancies. Nevertheless, this immunotherapy fails against solid tumours due to hostile conditions found in the tumour microenvironment. In this context, many relevant biochemical factors have been thoroughly studied, but crucial mechanical cues have been underestimated.

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, with variable outcomes ranging from spontaneous remission to high-risk cases often leading to relapse or refractory disease. Approximately 50% of patients with NB have high-risk features, often experiencing relapse or refractory disease despite intensive treatments and the prognosis remains poor, with long-term event-free survival (EFS) rates below 10%,Radioactive iodine-labeled meta-iodobenzylguanidine (¹³¹I-mIBG) therapy, leveraging NB cells' radiosensitivity and expression of the norepinephrine transporter (NET), has shown promise in treating relapsed or refractory NB. Since 1985, ¹³¹I-mIBG has been studied to determine the maximum tolerated dose and side effects, with recent trials exploring its use in front-line treatment.

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a common neglected parasitic disease. Nanoparticles containing drugs have been widely utilized in various formulations for several purposes, including improving the bioavailability of drugs by increasing the solubility and dissolution rate of the nanoparticles. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of solid lipid nanoparticles containing albendazole and conjugated to albumin (B-SLN + ABZ) as a novel treatment approach for hydatid cysts in vivo.
