Background: Human sarcomas (SARC) are a group of malignant tumors that originated from mesenchymal lineages with more than 60 subtypes. However, potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of SARC remain to be investigated.

Methods: We obtained three GSE raw matrix files (GSE39262, GSE21122, GSE48418) that related to various subtypes of sarcoma from the public GEO database and explored the widely differential expression genes in three obtained GSE files. Then common differential expression genes (CDGEs) were identified. We analyzed the correlation between the expression of the top five interacted genes of CDEGs and genome-wide differences, prognosis, genetic mutation, functional enrichment, immune infiltration, immune checkpoint, and marker genes' expression of N6-methyladenosine (mA) modification in SARC patients. Besides, a prognostic nomogram was constructed to predict the survival of SARC patients.

Results: Among the three GSE files, 42 CDGEs were identified, and the top five interacted genes were ASPM, CCNB2, PRC1, AURKA, and SCM2. The expression levels of the five genes were higher in the SARC group than that in the normal group. The transcriptional level of CCNB2, PRC, and SCM2 was correlated to the worse survival of SARC. The constructed nomogram that combined CNB2, PRC1, and SCM2 showed a fairly good incredibility in predicting the survival of SARC (C-index: 0.711). Furthermore, the five genes were widely involved in immune infiltration, immune checkpoint, and mA modification. In addition, we found a minor survival-related mutation rate (9%) of the five identified genes in SARC patients (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The results suggested the five identified genes widely participated in the prognosis, immune infiltration, immune checkpoint, and mA modification of SARC patients. This study provided a theoretical basis for the research about the correlation between the level of five identified genes and sarcoma, but the further mechanism needs to be verified by experiments.

Grape seed extract (GSE), one of the world's bestselling dietary supplements, is prone to frequent adulteration with chemically similar compounds. These frauds can go unnoticed within the supply chain due to the use of unspecific standard analytical methods for quality control. This research aims to develop a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) method for the rapid and non-destructive quantitative evaluation of GSE powder in the presence of multiple additives.

Background: The genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful method for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL). However, standard GWAS can detect only QTL that segregate in the mapping population. Crossing populations with different characteristics increases genetic variability but F2 or back-crosses lack mapping resolution due to the limited number of recombination events.

Grape seed procyanidin extract (GSE) is widely used to promote cardiovascular health and has purported anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation in the lungs caused by environmental toxins such as tobacco smoking plays a pivotal role in lung cancer development. In a modified phase I lung cancer chemoprevention study conducted in heavy active and former smokers using leucoselect phytosome (LP), a standardized grape seed procyanidin extract complexed with soy phospholipids to enhance bioavailability, three months of LP treatment favorably modulated a variety of surrogate endpoint biomarkers, including markers of cell proliferation.

Background: We aimed to identify the potential diagnostic markers and associated molecular mechanisms based on programmed cell death (PCD)-related genes in patients with heart failure (HF).

Methods: Three HF gene expression data were extracted from the GEO database, including GSE57345 (training data), GSE141910 and GSE76701 (validation data), followed by differentially PCD related genes (DPCDs) was shown between HF and control samples. Enrichment and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses were performed based on the DPCDs.

Background: Methods for estimating variance components (VC) using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) typically require elements from the inverse of the coefficient matrix of the mixed model equations (MME). As genomic information becomes more prevalent, the coefficient matrix of the MME becomes denser, presenting a challenge for analyzing large datasets. Thus, computational algorithms based on iterative solving and Monte Carlo approximation of the inverse of the coefficient matrix become appealing.
