Objective: To screen and identify microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) using clinical samples and construct a prediction model for the prognosis of LUAD.

Methods: 160 patient samples were used to screen and identify miRNAs associated with the prognosis of LUAD. Differentially expressed miRNAs were analyzed using gene chip technology. The selected miRNAs were validated using samples from the validation sample group. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to construct the model and Kaplan-Meier was used to plot survival curves. Model power was assessed by testing the prognosis of the constructed model using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) data.

Results: The data showed that miR-1260b, miR-21-3p and miR-92a-3p were highly expressed in the early recurrence and metastasis group, while miR-2467-3p, miR-4659a-3p, miR-4514, miR-1471 and miR-3621 were lowly expressed. It was further confirmed that miR-21-3p was significantly highly expressed in the early recurrence and metastasis group ( = 0.02). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve results showed cut-off point value of 0.0172, sensitivity of 88.2% and specificity of 100%. The predictive results of the constructed model were in good agreement with the actual prognosis of patients by using the validation sample test (Kappa = 0.426,  < 0.001), with a model sensitivity of 74.4%, a specificity of 68.3%, and an accuracy of 71.3%.

Conclusion: miRNAs associated with the prognosis of patients with stage I LUAD were screened and validated, and a risk model for predicting the prognosis of patients was constructed. This model has good consistency with the actual prognosis of patients.

Background: Patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) receiving drug treatment often have an unpredictive response and there is a lack of effective methods to predict treatment outcome for patients. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a significant role in the tumor microenvironment and the DCs-related gene signature may be used to predict treatment outcome. Here, we screened for DC-related genes to construct a prognostic signature to predict prognosis and response to immunotherapy in LUAD patients.

The emergence of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) has improved the prognosis for lung cancer patients with EGFR-driven mutations. However, acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs poses a significant challenge to the treatment. Overcoming the resistance has primarily focused on developing next-generation targeted therapies based on the molecular mechanisms of resistance or inhibiting the activation of bypass pathways to suppress or reverse the resistance.

Arterial cannulation, commonly performed in the radial artery, is a widely used method for continuous blood pressure monitoring. Occasionally, the axillary artery is used as an alternate site of cannulation. However, complications like occlusion can lead to adverse events and severe outcomes.

Chemotherapy resistance has long stood in the way of therapeutic advancement for lung cancer patients, the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and fatality rate in the world. Patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) now have a dismal prognosis due to the development of cisplatin (DDP) resistance, forcing them to use more costly second-line therapies. Therefore, overcoming resistance and enhancing patient outcomes can be achieved by comprehending the regulatory mechanisms of DDP resistance in LUAD.

Cancer, a complicated disease characterized by aberrant cellular metabolism, has emerged as a formidable global health challenge. Since the discovery of abnormal aldolase A (ALDOA) expression in liver cancer for the first time, its overexpression has been identified in numerous cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC), breast cancer (BC), cervical adenocarcinoma (CAC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric cancer (GC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pancreatic cancer adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Moreover, ALDOA overexpression promotes cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and drug resistance, and is closely related to poor prognosis of patients with cancer.
