Background/aim: Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the most common gynecological cancer, but lacks specific targetable markers. In order to explore the immune-related molecules that affect the progression and prognosis of EC, we analyzed the differential expression of genes in different histological grades of the disease.
Materials And Methods: EC-related gene-expression data of different histological grades were downloaded from TCGA and GEO databases. The list of immune-related genes was obtained from the ImmPort database. In order to identity differentially-expressed genes (DEGs), differential-expression analysis was performed. The intersection of DEGs and immune-related genes was termed immune-related differentially-expressed genes (IRDEGs). IRDEGs were enriched in cancer-related functional pathways by gene-correlation analysis and GSEA-enrichment analysis. The association of IRDEGs with immune-cell tumor infiltration and gene polymorphisms was analyzed using IRDEG mRNA and protein-expression data in EC from TCGA and THPA databases.
Results: Three IRDEGs, TNFSF15, SEMA3E and TNFSF10, were involved in the analysis of the prognosis of EC patients. IRDEGs were not only related to clinical characteristics but could also affect the prognosis of patients. Gene-correlation and GSEA-enrichment analysis of IRDEGs showed that TNFSF15 and TNFSF10 were co-enriched in the IL2-STAT5 functional pathway. IRDEGs had a significant correlation with a variety of immune-cell types infiltrating EC tumors and were related to EC prognosis. IRDEG mRNA- and protein-expression levels were increased in EC compared to normal tissues.
Conclusion: TNFSF15, SEMA3E and TNFSF10 may regulate the progression and prognosis of EC patients by affecting immune-cell infiltration of EC tumors.

Early prediction of patient responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is essential for the precision treatment of early breast cancer (EBC). Therefore, this study aims to noninvasively and early predict pathological complete response (pCR). We used dynamic ultrasound (US) imaging changes acquired during NACT, along with clinicopathological features, to create a nomogram and construct a machine learning model.

The humeral head is the second most common anatomical site of osteonecrosis after the femoral head. Studies have reported satisfactory clinical outcomes after shoulder arthroplasty to treat osteonecrosis of the humeral head (ONHH). However, there are concerns regarding implant longevity in relatively young patients.

This study investigated the prevalence and severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) and evaluated the effect of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) in alleviating these symptoms. The study also explored the correlation between postoperative LUTS improvement and intraoperative electrophysiological findings. Prospective data were collected from a consecutive cohort of 247 children with SCP who underwent SDR and were retrospectively analyzed.

Cardiac implantable electronic devices infections (CIEDI) are associated with poor survival despite the improvement in transvenous lead extraction (TLE). Aetiology and systemic involvement are driving factors of clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore their contribute on overall mortality.
