Objective: To study the application of dexmedetomidine in pulmonary segment resection in lung cancer patients.
Methods: A total of 120 patients with lung cancer who underwent segmentectomy in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected and divided into a control group (60 cases) and a study group (60 cases) according to the lottery method. Early lung cancer was diagnosed by histopathology and imaging, which was in line with the indication of segmental pneumonectomy, and was not treated by radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and other means.Exclusion criteria: Patients with coagulation system diseases, middle and late-stage patients and distant metastasis were excluded. Before induction of anesthesia, the control group was injected with normal saline 0.6 μg/kg, and the study group was injected with dexmedetomidine 0.6 μg/kg. Before anesthesia induction (T0), ventilation for 0.5 h (T2), ventilation for 1 h (T2), and immediately after surgery (T3), the changes of hemodynamics, physiological stress, and internal environment stability indexes were analyzed, and adverse reactions and pulmonary symptoms were counted. Incidence of injury and cognitive impairment.
Results: The comparison of the observation indicators at T0 time point of the two patient groups was insignificant (P > .05). The T1-T3 point had no significant fluctuation in the study group compared with the T0 point (P > .05). The T1-T3 point in the control group was significantly higher than the T0 point MAP, HR, PaO2, SOD, Cor decreased, PaCO2, MDA, ACTH increased, with obvious fluctuations (P < .05); T1 ~ T3, compared with the control group, the study group MAP, HR, PaO2, SOD, Cor increased, PaCO2, MDA, ACTH decreased (P < .05). There was no significant comparison of adverse reactions between the two groups (P > .05). Compared with the control group, lung injury and cognitive impairment incidence in the study group was lower (P < .05).
Conclusion: Before anesthesia induction, intravenous injection of dexmedetomidine can maintain hemodynamic and internal environment stability in lung cancer patients, reduce stress damage to the body, and reduce the incidence of lung injury and cognitive impairment, with high application value. This will reduce the pain of patients in clinical.

Target cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitors; 5-([2,5-Dihydroxybenzyl]amino)salicylamides (Compounds 1-11) were examined for potential anticancer activity, with a trial to assess the underlying possible mechanisms. Compounds were assessed at a single dose against 60 cancer cell lines panel and those with the highest activity were tested in the five-dose assay. COMPARE analysis was conducted to explore potential mechanisms underlying their biological activity.

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) assists in the acquisition of invasiveness, relapse, and resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and can be caused by the signaling of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) through Smad-mediated or Smad-independent pathways. (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a multifunctional cancer-preventing bioconstituent found in tea polyphenols, has been shown to repress TGF-β1-triggered EMT in the human NSCLC A549 cell line by inhibiting the activation of Smad2 and Erk1/2 or reducing the acetylation of Smad2 and Smad3. However, its impact on the Smad-independent pathway remains unclear.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have improved the therapeutic arsenal in outpatient oncology care; however, data on necessity of hospitalizations associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are scarce. Here, we characterized hospitalizations of patients undergoing ICI, from the prospective cohort study of the immune cooperative oncology group (ICOG) Hannover.
Methods: Between 12/2019 and 06/2022, 237 patients were included.

Background: Lymph node upstaging represents a quality criterion for standardized lymphadenectomy in lung cancer surgery. The aim of the study was to compare whether the quality of standardized lymphadenectomy in lung cancer surgery is comparable in minimally invasive (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) and the open approach (thoracotomy). Furthermore, factors associated with lymph node upstaging were assessed, as was its impact on overall survival and progression-free survival.

Background: Dermatomyositis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting muscles and skin, often associated with an increased risk of cancer. Specific autoantibodies, including anti-TIF1 (Transcription Intermediary Factor 1), have been linked to this risk. We present a case of dermatomyositis in a male patient positive for anti-TIF1 antibodies, subsequently diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil, a novel association not previously documented.
