Gliomas are common brain tumors with poor prognosis. F-box protein39 (FBXO39) is found to be increased in a variety of malignancies, but its expression in gliomas is unknown. Here, we report that FBXO39 as an oncogene is upregulated in glioma and associated with poor prognosis. The degree of FBXO39 positive expression is doubtlessly concomitant with the grade of glioma. The data analyses show that patients with high FBXO39 expression have poor overall survival. What's more, FBXO39 accelerates the invasion and migration abilities of glioma cells and promotes glioma stem cell growth and stemness. In summary, these results suggest that FBXO39 is expected to become a new biological target for judging the prognosis and treatment of glioma.

Mitochondria are pivotal in cellular energy metabolism and have garnered significant attention for their roles in cancer progression and therapy resistance. Despite this, the functional diversity of mitochondria across various cancer types remains inadequately characterized. This study seeks to fill this knowledge gap by introducing and validating MitoScore-a novel metric designed to quantitatively assess mitochondrial function across a wide array of cancers.

This study aims to compare the incidences of neurological deterioration (ND) and poor outcome (a modified Ranking scale > 2 points at discharge) among patients with different atherosclerotic stroke patterns. A total of 688 participants were categorized into 4 groups according to atherosclerotic stroke pattern: multiple small infarcts (MSI), single subcortical infarction (SSI), borderzone infarct (BZI) and large infarct groups. Among the 4 groups, MSI group had the lowest incidences of ND and poor outcome (13.

The aim of this study was to evaluate how COVID-19 affected acute stroke care and outcome in patients with acute ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. We performed a retrospective analysis on patients who were admitted with acute ischemic (AIS) or hemorrhagic (ICH) stroke from September 2020 to May 2021 with and without COVID-19. We recorded demographic and clinical data, imaging parameters, functional outcome and mortality at one year.

This study aimed to identify imaging risk factors for spinal cord injury without radiologic abnormalities (SCIWORA) in children. We retrospectively analyzed the medical records and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of children with SCIWORA admitted to our hospital between January 1, 2012, and September 30, 2022. Univariate and binary logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the prognostic impact of various factors including MRI type, maximum cross-sectional area of spinal cord injury, injury length, injury signal intensity ratio.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is the new standard treatment for advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, many patients still fail to respond. This study explored the expression and prognosis of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), cluster of differentiation 24 (CD24), and cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) in patients with hepatitis B virus-associated HCC (HBV-associated HCC). We analyzed sequencing data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and investigated the expression of PD-L1, CD24, and CD47 in HBV-associated HCC patients by immunohistochemistry and their relationship with prognosis and clinicopathological factors.
