Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive and treatment-resistant malignancy that poses a significant challenge in modern medicine. Despite advances in surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, complete eradication of GBM remains elusive due to its diffuse invasion into the brain parenchyma and propensity for recurrence. The tumour microenvironment (TME), particularly macrophages, has emerged as a critical player in GBM progression, invasion and metastasis. In the immune microenvironment of glioma, MS4A6A exhibits unique expression characteristics in macrophages. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of MS4A6A, a gene associated with aging and neurodegenerative diseases, in GBM and its potential as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

Background: In this study, we aimed to explore the association between baseline and early changes in the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the 30-day mortality rate in patients having anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5)-positive dermatomyositis with interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD).
Methods: Overall, 263 patients with anti-MDA5 DM-ILD from four centers in China were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the impact of baseline NLR on the 30-day mortality rate in patients with anti-MDA5-positive DM-ILD.

Background: The prognostic value of Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) infection in postoperative lung cancer patients remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between Cpn infection and survival in lung cancer patients.
Methods: This study included 309 newly diagnosed primary lung cancer patients from three hospitals in Fuzhou, China.

We aimed to build a robust classifier for the MGMT methylation status of glioblastoma in multiparametric MRI. We focused on multi-habitat deep image descriptors as our basic focus. A subset of the BRATS 2021 MGMT methylation dataset containing both MGMT class labels and segmentation masks was used.

Netrin-1 (NTN1) is a laminin-related secreted protein involved in axon guidance and cell migration. Previous research has established a significant connection between NTN1 and nervous system development. In recent years, mounting evidence indicates that NTN1 also plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis and tumor progression.

Background: α-Synuclein (α-Syn) pathology is present in 30-50 % of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, and its interactions with tau proteins may further exacerbate pathological changes in AD. However, the specific role of different aggregation forms of α-Syn in the progression of AD remains unclear.
Objectives: To explore the relationship between various aggregation types of CSF α-Syn and Alzheimer's disease progression.
