Background: Due to its increasing prevalence and suboptimal treatment, non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection is an emerging problem in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Detailed description of regional NTM prevalence and distribution, and identification of predictors of NTM acquisition in CF are essential to optimise treatment and surveillance guidelines.

Methods: A retrospective, multi-center analysis was conducted between the years 2020 and 2022 on data from 232 adult patients registered in the Hungarian CF Registry in 2022.

The CDKN2A gene, responsible for encoding the tumor suppressors p16(INK4A) and p14(ARF), is frequently inactivated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Herein, an uncharacterized long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) (ENSG00000267053) on chromosome 19p13.12 was found to be overexpressed in NSCLC cells with an active, wild-type CDKN2A gene.

Background: The characteristics of tumor immune microenvironment are important factors affecting the efficacy of immunotherapy, and there are differences in the distribution of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) subsets in different types of tumors. This study aims to compare the distributions of cluster of differentiation (CD) 4+ and CD4+ T cell subsets of TILs and their clinical significance between lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC).

Methods: The tumor tissues of 78 LUAD and 56 LUSC patients who underwent surgery at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between October 2020 and October 2022 were collected, TIL level were detected by pathological observation, and the proportions of CD4+, CD4+ T cell subsets and CD4+/CD4+ ratio in TILs were detected by flow cytometry.
