TEP RNA: a new frontier for early diagnosis of NSCLC.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer (LC), which is the leading cause of tumor mortality. In recent years, compared with tissue biopsy, which is the diagnostic gold standard for tumor diagnosis, Liquid biopsy (LB) is considered to be a more minimally invasive, sensitive, and safer alternative or auxiliary diagnostic method. However, the current value of LB in early diagnosis of LC is not ideal, so it is particularly important to study the changes in blood composition during the process of tumorigenesis and find more sensitive biomarkers.

Exosomal circFAM63Bsuppresses bone regeneration of postmenopausal osteoporosis via regulating miR-578/HMGA2 axis.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) affects hundreds of millions of elderly women worldwide.

Recently, exosomal circular RNAs have been considered as critical regulators in physiological and pathological progress.

PEG-modified carbon-based nanoparticles as tumor-targeted drug delivery system reducing doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Herein, a doxorubicin-loaded carbon-based drug delivery system, denoted as PC-DOX, composed of pH-responsive imine bond was developed for the tumor-targeted treatment. PC-DOX with a uniform particle size around 180 nm was synthesized by coating of as-synthesized hollow carbon-based nanoparticles (NPs) with dialdehyde PEG, which was used as carrier to attach DOX covalently through dynamic covalent bond. The unique structure endowed the advantages of specific tumor targeting and tumor microenvironment (TME) specific drug delivery capacity with PC-DOX.

Comprehensive pan‑cancer analysis of potassium voltage-gated channel Q4 (KCNQ4) gene across multiple human malignant tumors.

A large number of studies indicate that Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Q4 (KCNQ4) gene is the cause of non-syndromic hearing loss, but there are few studies investigating the role of KCNQ4 in cancers and scarcity of comprehensive analysis of its involvement in the diagnosis, methylation, mutation, prognosis of various cancer types. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the anticancerous and immune effects of KCNQ4 in various cancers and its potential value in breast cancer. In this study, we explored the potential role of KCNQ4 in cancers using public databases and the R software for bioinformatics analysis.

Sedation with a 1:1 mixture of etomidate and propofol for gastroscopy in hypertensive elderly patients.

We hypothesized that the combined use of etomidate and propofol for endoscopic sedation in elderly hypertensive patients could reduce adverse reactions while providing ideal sedation. To validate our hypothesis, we conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blinded study. A total of 360 elderly hypertensive patients scheduled for gastroscopy at our hospital were enrolled in the study, of whom 328 completed the trial.

MicroRNA-34a-5p promotes the progression of osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip by restraining SESN2-induced autophagy.

Osteoarthritis (OA), a late-stage complication of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), is a key factor leading to further degeneration of joint function. Studies have shown that Sestrin2 (SESN2) is a positive regulator in protecting articular cartilage from degradation. However, the regulatory effects of SESN2 on DDH-OA and its upstream regulators remain obscure.

CENPF knockdown inhibits adriamycin chemoresistance in triple-negative breast cancer via the Rb-E2F1 axis.

Drug resistance occurs frequently in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and leads to early relapse and short survival. Targeting the DNA damage response (DDR) has become an effective strategy for overcoming TNBC chemoresistance. CENPF (centromere protein) is a key regulator of cell cycle progression, but its role in TNBC chemotherapy resistance remains unclear.

Education and development of rehabilitation therapy in China under the background of aging.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about one-third of people worldwide currently have a need for rehabilitation. This demand is expected to increase in the coming years due to changes in population health and characteristics. For example, with the intensification of global aging, the rehabilitation needs of patients with chronic diseases and disabilities, postoperative dysfunction, and cognitive impairment continue to grow, and emergencies such as conflicts, disasters, and epidemics may lead to a surge in rehabilitation needs.

Rare metastasis of gastric cancer to the axillary lymph node: A case report.

Lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer is more common, metastatic lymph nodes are often around the stomach, and metastasis is carried out in a certain order, but gastric cancer metastasis to axillary lymph nodes is very rare. Due to the small number of patients with this kind of metastasis, its clinical features and treatment are not very clear. We initially thought that the enlarged axillary lymph nodes were inflammatory lesions.

A diselenium-bridged covalent organic framework with pH/GSH/photo-triple-responsiveness for highly controlled drug release toward joint chemo/photothermal/chemodynamic cancer therapy.

Here, a novel joint chemo/photothermal/chemodynamic therapy was developed using a pH/GSH/photo triple-responsive 2D-covalent organic framework (COF) drug carriers for passive target treatment of tumors with extraordinarily high efficiency.
