AI Article Synopsis

  • Aberrant alternative splicing (AS) in lung cancer arises from disrupted gene splicing and regulatory factors, leading to cancer progression and resistance.
  • This review highlights how AS is crucial in various cancer processes like invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis, potentially serving as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis.
  • Understanding AS could offer new strategies for treating lung cancer, providing hope for improved outcomes.

Article Abstract

Aberrant alternative splicing (AS) events are frequently observed in lung cancer, which can be attributed to aberrant gene AS, alterations in splicing regulatory factors, or changes in splicing regulatory mechanisms. Consequently, the dysregulation of alternative RNA splicing is the fundamental cause of lung cancer. In this review, we have summarized the pivotal role of AS in the development, progression, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, and drug resistance of lung cancer. Ultimately, this review emphasizes the potential of AS as biomarkers in lung cancer prognosis and diagnosis, and introduces some applications of AS isoform in the treatment of lung cancer. The comprehension of the AS may provide a glimmer of hope for the eradication of lung cancer.

Enhancing Diagnostic Accuracy of Lung Nodules in Chest Computed Tomography Using Artificial Intelligence: Retrospective Analysis.

J Med Internet Res

January 2025

Department of Health Policy and Management, Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, United States.

Background: Uncertainty in the diagnosis of lung nodules is a challenge for both patients and physicians. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly being integrated into medical imaging to assist diagnostic procedures. However, the accuracy of AI systems in identifying and measuring lung nodules on chest computed tomography (CT) scans remains unclear, which requires further evaluation.

Metastasis stands as one of the most prominent prognostic factors in osteosarcoma. Over 70% of metastatic osteosarcoma occurrences affect the lung. Nonetheless, to date, there has been a scarcity of research addressing predictive factors for lung metastasis risk in osteosarcoma.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common histological subtype of nonsmall-cell lung cancer. Herein, a multiomics method, which combined proteomic and N-glycoproteomic analyses, was developed to analyze the normal and cancerous bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALFs) from six LUAD patients to identify potential biomarkers of LUAD. The data-independent acquisition proteomic analysis was first used to analyze BALFs, which identified 59 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs).

This study determined the characteristics of patients with early-stage melanoma (IA-IIA) who later had stage IV recurrence. We retrospectively examined 880 melanoma patients and identified those who progressed to stage IV disease from an initial early-stage (n = 50). We observed a median latent period of 4 years between early-stage diagnosis and metastatic disease.

Effects of early palliative care intervention on medical resource use among end-of-life patients.

Int J Qual Health Care

January 2025

Department of Medical Laboratory Science and Biotechnology, Central Taiwan University of Science and Technology, No. 666 Buzih Road, Taichung City 40601, Taiwan.

Background: In Taiwan, as the population ages, palliative care services (PCS) have expanded significantly to include comprehensive benefit plans for critically ill individuals, supported by reimbursements from the National Health Insurance program. However, incorporating palliative care into the medical management of these patients presents several challenges. We aim to evaluate the effects of palliative care interventions on medical resources in end-of-life scenarios, to promote earlier palliative care access and provide high-quality healthcare services for patients.
