Background: Microsatellite-stable (MSS) colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) patients are not sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Here, we focused on analyzing the relationship between homologous recombination repair (HRR)-related gene mutations and clinical immunotherapy responses in MSS COAD.
Methods: The mutational landscape was profiled in a cohort of 406 Chinese COAD patients via next-generation sequencing (NGS). Correlations between HRR gene mutations and tumor immunity or clinical outcomes in two COAD genomic datasets were analyzed via bioinformatics.
Results: In the Chinese cohort, seventy (17%) patients exhibited genomic alterations in HRR genes; (9%), (4%), (3%), (3%) and (3%) were the most frequently mutated. In the MSK-IMPACT COAD cohort (immune checkpoint inhibitor-treated), HRR-mut patients (n=34) survived longer than HRR-wt patients (n=50) (log-rank < 0.01). Based on the TCGA MSS COAD cohort, HRR gene mutations increased immune activities, such as infiltration of cytotoxic cells ( < 0.05) and exhausted CD8+ T cells ( < 0.01), and increased the IFN-γ scores ( < 0.05). The results differed in MSI-H COAD patients (all > 0.05).
Conclusion: HRR gene mutations significantly increased immune activities in MSS COAD patients, implying the feasibility of the HRR-mut status as an immunotherapy response predictor in MSS COAD.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients commonly exhibit significant morbidity and experience a diminished quality of life. Since there has been no prior research on pneumonia in our study population, we carried out this study to learn more about the situation.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 912 COPD patients with CAP who were receiving ICS treatment at the DHQ Hospital in Muzaffargarh, Punjab, Pakistan was conducted.
Exploration and Identification of Vitamin D and Related Genes as Potential Biomarkers for Colorectal Tumors.
Onco Targets Ther
January 2025
Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin Institute of Digestive Disease, Tian Jin, People's Republic of China.
Objective: To explore the relationship and underlying mechanisms between vitamin D and CRC, offering valuable insights into the diagnosis and treatment of CRC.
Materials And Methods: Serum levels of 1,25(OH)D were measured using a double-antibody sandwich assay. Bioinformatics analysis identified vitamin D-related CRC genes, which were validated using HCT116 and HT29 cell lines.
Optimal vocal therapy for respiratory muscle activation in patients with COPD: effects of loudness, pitch, and vowels.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Qingdao Municipal Hospital, University of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Qingdao, China.
Background: Vocal therapy, such as singing training, is an increasingly popular pulmonary rehabilitation program that has improved respiratory muscle status in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, variations in singing treatment protocols have led to inconsistent clinical outcomes.
Objective: This study aims to explore the content of vocalization training for patients with COPD by observing differences in respiratory muscle activation across different vocalization tasks.
Symptom Network and Subgroup Analysis in Patients with Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis
January 2025
Key Laboratory of Interventional Pulmonology of Zhejiang Province, Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325000, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: This study aims to construct a contemporaneous symptom network of inpatients with Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (ECOPD) based on the symptom cluster, identify core and bridge symptoms, and patient subgroups with different symptom clusters based on individual differences in the intensity of patient symptom experiences.
Patients And Methods: This study used convenience sampling to collect demographic, symptom, auxiliary examination, and prognosis information of 208 inpatients with ECOPD from April 2022 to October 2023. The data underwent exploratory factor analysis (EFA), symptom network analysis, latent class analysis (LCA), Spearman correlation analysis, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, single-factor regression and multiple-factor stepwise regression.
Health-related quality of life across heart failure categories: associations with clinical characteristics and outcomes.
ESC Heart Fail
January 2025
Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Aims: The study aims to examine characteristics and outcomes associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved, mildly reduced and reduced ejection fraction (EF) (HFpEF, HFmrEF and HFrEF).
Methods And Results: Data on HRQoL were collected in the Swedish Heart Failure Registry (SwedeHF; 2000-2021) using the EuroQoL 5-dimensional visual analogue scale (EQ 5D-vas). Baseline EQ 5D-vas scores were categorized as 'best' (76-100), 'good' (51-75), 'bad' (26-50) and 'worst' (0-25).
