Background: Long noncoding RNA-based prognostic biomarkers have demonstrated great potential in the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer patients. However, systematic assessment of a multiple lncRNA-composed prognostic risk model is lacking in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD). This study is aimed at constructing a lncRNA-based prognostic risk model for STAD patients.

Methods: RNA sequencing data and clinical information of STAD patients were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were identified using the R software. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to construct a prognostic risk model. The survival analysis, C-index, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were employed to assess the sensitivity and specificity of the model. The results were verified using the GEPIA online tool and our clinical samples. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis, Gene Ontology (GO), and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment were performed to indicate the potential biological functions of the selected lncRNA.

Results: A total of 1917 DElncRNAs were identified from 343 cases of STAD tissues and 30 cases of noncancerous tissues. According to univariate and multivariable Cox regression analyses, four DElncRNAs (AC129507.1, LINC02407, AL022316.1, and AP000695.2) were selected to establish a prognostic risk model. There was a significant difference in the overall survival between high-risk patients and low-risk patients based on this risk model. The C-index of the model was 0.652. The area under the curve (AUC) for the ROC curve was 0.769. GEPIA results confirmed the expression and prognostic significance of AP000695.2 in STAD. Our clinical data confirmed that upregulated expression of AP000695.2 was correlated with the T stage, distant metastasis, and TNM stage in STAD. GO and KEGG analyses demonstrated that AP000695.2 was closely related to the tumorigenesis process.

Conclusions: In this study, we constructed a lncRNA-based prognostic risk model for STAD patients. Our study will provide novel insight into the diagnosis and prognosis of STAD patients.

A common digestive system cancer with a dismal prognosis and a high death rate globally is breast cancer (BRCA). BRCA recurrence, metastasis, and medication resistance are all significantly impacted by cancer stem cells (CSCs). However, the relationship between CSCs and the tumor microenvironment in BRCA individuals remains unknown, and this information is critically needed.

Purpose: There is an increasing incidence of young breast cancer (YBC) patients with uncertainty surrounding the factors and patterns that are contributing.

Methods: We obtained characteristics and survival data from 206,156 YBC patients (≤ 40 years of age) diagnosed between 2005 and 2019 from the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Patients were subdivided into two comparison groups based on year of diagnosis (2005-2009, Old vs.

Background: Patellar instability is frequently encountered by orthopaedic surgeons. One of the major risk factors of this condition is underlying trochlear dysplasia (TD). Recent trends have indicated the use of multiple procedures to correct patellar instability under these conditions.

Inherited genetics represents an important contributor to risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and its precursor Barrett's esophagus (BE). Genome-wide association studies have identified ∼30 susceptibility variants for BE/EAC, yet genetic interactions remain unexamined. To address challenges in large-scale G×G scans, we combined knowledge-guided filtering and machine learning approaches, focusing on genes with (A) known/plausible links to BE/EAC pathogenesis (n=493) or (B) prior evidence of biological interactions (n=4,196).

Grouping of chemicals has been proposed as a strategy to speed up the screening and identification of potential substances of concern among the broad chemical universe under REACH. Such grouping is usually based on shared structural features and should only be used for the prioritization objectives. However, additional considerations (as well as structural similarity) are needed, e.
