Article Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a progressive disease with high morbidity and mortality. Accumulating evidence indicated that nervous system-cancer crosstalk can affect the occurrence and progression of GC. However, the role of nerve-related lncRNAs (NRLs) in GC remains largely unexplored. In this study, a total of 441 nerve-related genes were collected from the KEGG database, and two approaches, unsupervised clustering and WGCNA, were employed to identify NRLs. Lasso regression analysis was then used to construct the nerve-related lncRNA signature (NRLS). Based on the expression profiles of 5 lncRNAs, we developed a stable NRLS to predict survival in GC patients, and survival analyses showed significantly shorter overall survival (OS) in patients with high NRLS. In addition, the NRLS was found to be positively correlated with immune characteristics, including tumor-infiltrating immune cells, immune modulators, cytokines and chemokines. We then analyzed the role of NRLS in predicting chemotherapy and immunotherapy responses, and constructed the OS nomogram combining NRLS and other clinical features. In conclusion, we constructed a robust NRLS model to stratify GC patients and predict the outcomes of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. This study can provide a new perspective for future individualized treatment of GC.

Background: Ensuring patient safety is of paramount importance in healthcare systems. Rising concerns about medical errors in the UK have necessitated a greater focus on studying the nature of such errors, particularly those involving high-risk medications.
Objectives: To conduct a retrospective analysis of incidents related to patient safety in the UK based on data from the National Rporting and Learning System (NRLS).

Objective: Through resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) we evaluate the spontaneous brain activity changes of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with restless legs syndrome (RSL) and analyzed the imaging features and related mechanisms of RLS in patients with MHD.
Method: We select 27 MHD patients with RLS and 27 patients without RSL matched by age, gender, cognitive function. Both groups underwent neuropsychological tests and MRI scans.
Ferroptosis and Intrinsic Drug-induced Liver Injury by Acetaminophen and Other Drugs: A Critical Evaluation and Historical Perspective.

Article Synopsis
- Drug-induced liver injury is a major global health issue, necessitating a better understanding of cell death mechanisms to find new treatments.
- Reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation were once key areas of research in liver toxicity but shifted focus to apoptosis, until ferroptosis—a new type of cell death—gained attention due to its unique mechanisms involving glutathione depletion.
- This review examines historical evidence for lipid peroxidation's role in liver damage and how it led to recognizing ferroptosis, highlighting that liver's antioxidant defenses generally prevent significant lipid peroxidation unless severely compromised.
Restless Legs Syndrome in Hemodialysis Patients: Clinical and Electrophysiological Study.
J Multidiscip Healthc
November 2024
Department of Nephrology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University, Ningbo, Zhejiang,People's Republic of China.
Article Synopsis
- Hemodialysis-related restless legs syndrome (HD-RLS) is a common issue in patients undergoing hemodialysis, diagnosed primarily through clinical criteria, with proposed additional use of nerve physiology measurement as a diagnostic aid.
- The study involved 20 patients with HD-RLS, 33 without RLS (HD-nRLS), and 30 healthy controls, focusing on nerve conduction assessments in various limbs.
- Results indicated that HD-RLS patients exhibited more severe nerve damage and longer F-wave durations in their nerves, suggesting that the F-wave duration to compound muscle action potential duration ratio could help in diagnosing HD-RLS.

Article Synopsis
- The European Union is implementing regulations for diagnostics and public health that will establish European Reference Laboratories (EURLs) to work alongside National Reference Laboratories (NRLs) by 2024 and 2025, respectively.
- NRLs, which have functioned under national laws, are encouraged to collaborate as part of a network to improve the authorization and monitoring of in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) and manage communicable disease threats.
- A study highlighted the misuse of the term "reference laboratory" in scientific literature, leading to confusion about the roles of EURLs and NRLs, but the new EU regulations aim to clarify these roles and enhance the safety and quality of IVDs and public health surveillance.
