Background: Perioperative atrial fibrillation is a common postoperative complication. Adverse consequences associated with POAF include hemodynamic instability, increased risk of stroke, extended hospital stays, and increased mortality.

Methods: To determine the risk factors for POAF and to investigate the outcomes of POAF for patients with cancer, a systematic search of the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases was conducted from inception of the study to 1 September 2021. The inclusion criteria specified studies reporting the prevalence of POAF among patients with cancer. The study excluded articles not written in English, review articles, case reports, letters, commentaries, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and conference abstracts.

Results: The search identified 49 studies with 201,081 patients, and the pooled prevalence of POAF was 13.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.6-15.7%). Meta-analyses showed that the incidence of POAF among patients with cancer was associated with age (mean difference [MD], 4.31; 95%CI, 3.16-5.47), male sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.39; 95% CI, 1.19-1.62), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR, 2.47; 95% CI, 1.71-3.56), hypertension (OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.23-1.75), intraoperative blood transfusion (OR, 4.58; 95% CI, 2.31-9.10), and open surgery (OR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.26-1.81). Patients with POAF had significantly higher in-hospital mortality (OR, 4.25; 95% CI, 2.79-6.45), longer hospital stays (MD, 3.07; 95% CI, 1.63-4.51), and higher incidences of pneumonia (OR, 3.32; 95% CI, 2.85-3.86), stroke (OR, 6.57; 95% CI, 1.56-26.00), and myocardial infarction (OR, 3.00; 95% CI, 1.45-6.20) than those without POAF.

Conclusions: For patients with cancer, POAF is associated with an increased burden of comorbidities and worse outcomes.

Background: Drug response prediction can infer the relationship between an individual's genetic profile and a drug, which can be used to determine the choice of treatment for an individual patient. Prediction of drug response is recently being performed using machine learning technology. However, high-throughput sequencing data produces thousands of features per patient.

Background: Predicting the efficacy of immune-based therapy in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a clinical challenge. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in forecasting treatment response and survival outcomes for HCC patients undergoing immune-based therapy.

Methods: We analyzed a cohort of 268 HCC patients treated with immune-based therapy from January 2019 to March 2023.

Background: It is worthwhile to establish a prognostic prediction model based on microenvironment cells (MCs) infiltration and explore new treatment strategies for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Methods: The xCell algorithm was used to quantify the cellular components of the TNBC microenvironment based on bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA-seq) data. The MCs index (MCI) was constructed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox (LASSO-Cox) regression analysis.

Background: Paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN) is prevalent among patients receiving paclitaxel chemotherapy, which results in sensory abnormality as well as neuropathic pain. Conventional medications lack effectiveness on PIPN. Clinical trials identified beneficial effects of acupuncture on PIPN among patients receiving chemotherapy.

Invasiveness of pituitary adenoma is the main cause of its poor prognosis, mechanism of which remains largely unknown. In this study, the differential proteins between invasive and non-invasive pituitary tumors (IPA and NIPA) were identified by TMT labeled quantitative proteomics. The differential metabolites in venous bloods from patients with IPA and NIPA were analyzed by untargeted metabolomics.
