An accumulating body of research indicates that long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate the target genes and act as competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) playing an indispensable role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). LUAD is frequently accompanied by the feature of chromosomal instability (CIN); however, CIN-related ceRNAs have not been investigated yet. We systematically analyzed and integrated CIN-related dysregulated ceRNAs characteristics in LUAD samples for the first time. In TCGA LUAD cohort, CIN in tumor samples was significantly higher than that in those of adjacent, and patients with high CIN risk tended to have worse clinical outcomes. We constructed a double-weighted CIN-related dysregulated ceRNA network, in which edge weight and node weight represented the disorder extent of ceRNA and the correlation of RNA expression level and prognosis, respectively. After module mining and analysis, a potential prognostic biomarker composed of 12 RNAs (8 mRNAs and 4 lncRNAs) named CIN-related dysregulated ceRNAs (CRDC) was obtained. The CRDC risk score had a positive relation with clinical stage and CIN, and patients with high CRDC risk scores exhibited poor prognosis. Moreover, CRDC tended to be an independent risk factor with high robustness to overcome the effect of multicollinearity among other explanatory variables for disease-specific survival (DSS) in TCGA and two GEO cohorts. The result of functional analysis indicated that CRDC was involved in multiple cancer progresses, especially immune-related pathways. The patients with lower CRDC risk had higher B cell, T cell CD4, T cell CD8, neutrophil, macrophage, and myeloid dendritic cell infiltration than the patients with higher CRDC risk. Meanwhile, patients with lower CRDC risk could get more benefits from immunological therapy. The results suggested that the CRDC could be a potential prognostic biomarker and an immunotherapy predictor for lung adenocarcinoma.

Background: This study aims to establish a reliable prediction model of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc)-ILD, to achieve early risk stratification and to help better in preventing disease progression.
Methods: 304 SSc-ILD patients with no less than three pulmonary function tests within 6-24 months were included. We collected data at baseline and compared differences between SSc patients with and without PF-ILD.

•Is the Index of Nutritional Quality (INQ) associated with colon cancer? •This study compared the INQ of various dietary components between colorectal cancer patients and healthy controls. A total of 480 participants were enrolled in the study (160 patients with colorectal cancer as a case group and 320 healthy control). The results showed that CRC is significantly associated with INQ for some micronutrients.

Background: FTO gene is associated with obesity, dietary intake, and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, patients with colorectal cancer were assessed for the interactions between FTO gene polymorphisms and dietary intake.
Methods: This case-control study was carried out on 450 participants aged 35-70 years including 150 patients with colorectal cancer and 300 healthy controls.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical features of AAV and identify possible risk factors for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and mortality in AAV based on the experience of a single center in China.
Methods: A prospective cohort study of AAV was conducted based on data acquired by the Chinese Rheumatism Data Center (CRDC). The cohort involved 140 patients diagnosed with AAV in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2013 to April 2022.
