Objectives: To analyze the association of the use of different doses of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) independently with lung cancer risk and to evaluate the lung cancer type that may be related to ARB or ACEI use.
Patients And Methods: A nationwide population-based nested case-control study was conducted using Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database linked to the Taiwan Cancer Registry database between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2016. The cumulative defined daily dose (DDD) was estimated. We divided all users of ACEI or ARB into three categories based on the DDD of ACEI or ARB: low dose, middle dose, and high dose.
Results: We identified 16,091 patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer, and 80,455 controls with hypertension were selected. Univariate and multivariate conditional logistic regressions showed that the independent risk factor for lung cancer was high-dose (≥ 1095 DDD) ARB use (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.069, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.12, = 0.003). An increase in lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) risk was associated with middle-dose (adjusted OR: 1.073, 95% CI: 1.01-1.14, = 0.025) to high-dose (adjusted OR: 1.106, 95% CI: 1.05-1.17, < 0.001) ARB use and high-dose ACEI use (adjusted OR: 1.095, 95% CI: 1.01-1.19, = 0.033). No association was observed between different ARB or ACEI dose levels and the risk of lung squamous cell carcinoma and small-cell lung carcinoma.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that the use of both ACEI and ARB at a high cumulative dose is associated with the risk of lung ADC.

Somatic stem cell pools comprise diverse, highly specialized subsets whose individual contribution is critical for the overall regenerative function. In the bone marrow, myeloid-biased hematopoietic stem cells (myHSCs) are indispensable for replenishment of myeloid cells and platelets during inflammatory response but, at the same time, become irreversibly damaged during inflammation and aging. Here we identify an extrinsic factor, semaphorin 4A (Sema4A), which non-cell-autonomously confers myHSC resilience to inflammatory stress.

Quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) modeling has emerged as a pivotal tool in the field of medicinal chemistry and drug design, offering a predictive framework for understanding the correlation between chemical structure and physicochemical properties. Topological indices are mathematical descriptors derived from the molecular graphs that capture structural features and connectivity, playing a crucial role in QSPR analysis by quantitatively relating chemical structures to their physicochemical properties and biological activities. Lung cancer is characterized by its aggressive nature and late-stage diagnosis, often limiting treatment options and significantly impacting patient survival rates.

AI decision support systems can assist clinicians in planning adaptive treatment strategies that can dynamically react to individuals' cancer progression for effective personalized care. However, AI's imperfections can lead to suboptimal therapeutics if clinicians over or under rely on AI. To investigate such collaborative decision-making process, we conducted a Human-AI interaction study on response-adaptive radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Malignant tumors are among the major diseases threatening human survival in the world, and advancements in medical technology have led to a steady increase in their detection rates worldwide. Despite unique clinical presentations across the spectrum of malignancies, treatment modalities generally adhere to common strategies, encompassing primarily surgical intervention, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted treatments. Uncovering the genetic elements contributing to cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and drug resistance remains a pivotal pursuit in the development of novel targeted therapeutics.
