Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor with high mortality and poor prognosis. Immunotherapies, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), are widely used in various tumors, but patients with GC do not benefit much from immunotherapies. Therefore, effective predictive biomarkers are urgently needed for GC patients to realize the benefits of immunotherapy. Recent studies have indicated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) could be used as biomarkers in the immune landscape of multiple tumors. In this study, we constructed a novel immune-related lncRNA (irlncRNA) risk model to predict the survival and immune landscape of GC patients. First, we identified differentially expressed irlncRNAs (DEirlncRNAs) from RNA-Seq data of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). By using various algorithms, we constructed a risk model with 11 DEirlncRNA pairs. We then tested the accuracy of the risk model, demonstrating that the risk model has good efficiency in predicting the prognosis of GC patients. Inner validation sets were further used to confirm the effectiveness of the risk model. In addition, our risk model has a preferable performance in predicting the immune infiltration status of tumors, immune checkpoint status of the patients, and immunotherapy score. In conclusion, our risk model may provide insights into the prognosis of and immunotherapy strategy for GC.

Objective: This study investigates the relationship between the albumin-to-creatinine ratio and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in US adults using NHANES data from 2009 to 2016. This study assesses the predictive efficacy of the urinary serum albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR/SACR Ratio) against traditional biomarkers such as the serum albumin-to-creatinine ratio (SACR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) for evaluating DR risk. Additionally, the study explores the potential of these biomarkers, both individually and in combination with HbA1c, for early detection and risk stratification of DR.

Circadian Misalignment Impacts Cardiac Autonomic Modulation in Adolescence.

Sleep

January 2025

Sleep Research & Treatment Center, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Health, Penn State University, College of Medicine, Hershey PA, USA.

Study Objectives: Although heart rate variability (HRV), a marker of cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM), is known to predict cardiovascular morbidity, the circadian timing of sleep (CTS) is also involved in autonomic modulation. We examined whether circadian misalignment is associated with blunted HRV in adolescents as a function of entrainment to school or on-breaks.

Methods: We evaluated 360 subjects from the Penn State Child Cohort (median 16y) who had at least 3-night at-home actigraphy (ACT), in-lab 9-h polysomnography (PSG) and 24-h Holter-monitoring heart rate variability (HRV) data.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical and laboratory features of Sjögren's syndrome-associated autoimmune liver disease (SS-ALD) patients and identify potential risk and prognostic factors.

Methods: SS patients with or without ALD, who visited Tongji Hospital between the years 2011 and 2021 and met the 2012 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria for Sjögren's syndrome, were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical and laboratory data of the enrolled patients, including autoimmune antibodies, were collected and analyzed with principal component analysis, correlation analysis, LASSO regression, and Cox regression.

Purpose: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is an important prognostic factor for rectal cancer. This study aims to introduce a novel cutoff point for CEA within the normal range to improve prognosis prediction and enhance patient stratification in rectal cancer patients.

Methods: A total of 316 patients with stages I to III rectal cancer who underwent surgical tumor resection were enrolled.
