Targeting the ubiquitin-proteasome system: a novel therapeutic strategy for neuroblastoma.

Neuroblastoma (NB) stands as a common and formidable malignant tumor among children, characterized by marked tumor heterogeneity and resistance to conventional treatments. Central to the regulation of protein stability, localization, and function is the process of ubiquitination-a critical protein modification. The therapeutic potential of drugs that target deubiquitination, demonstrated in the treatment of refractory multiple myeloma, warrants investigation in the context of NB.

Establishment and analysis of artificial neural network diagnosis model for coagulation-related molecular subgroups in coronary artery disease.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of cardiovascular disease and cause significant morbidity and mortality. Abnormal coagulation cascade is one of the high-risk factors in CAD patients, but the molecular mechanism of coagulation in CAD is still limited. We clustered and categorized 352 CAD paitents based on the expression patterns of coagulation-related genes (CRGs), and then we explored the molecular and immunological variations across the subgroups to reveal the underlying biological characteristics of CAD patients.

Peroxiredoxin 3 has a crucial role in the macrophage polarization by regulating mitochondrial homeostasis.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the life-threatening complications of sepsis, and macrophage polarization plays a crucial role in the sepsis-associated ALI. However, the regulatory mechanisms of macrophage polarization in ALI and in the development of inflammation are largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that macrophage polarization occurs in sepsis-associated ALI and is accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation, and a decrease of PRDX3 promotes the initiation of macrophage polarization and mitochondrial dysfunction.

A Mechanism Exploration for the Yi-Fei-San-Jie Formula against Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Based on UPLC-MS/MS, Network Pharmacology, and Verification.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. A Yi-Fei-San-Jie formula (YFSJF), widely used in NSCLC treatment in south China, has been validated in clinical studies. However, the pharmacological mechanism behind it remains unclear.

Effects of Chengqi Decoction on Complications and Prognosis of Patients with Pneumonia-Derived Sepsis: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: A specific and efficacious method for treatment of pneumonia-derived sepsis is lacking. Chengqi decoction has been used for treatment of pneumonia-derived sepsis, but a clinical trial on patients with pneumonia-derived sepsis is lacking, a gap in the literature that we sought to fill. .
