Article Synopsis
  • Colon cancer is the third most common cancer globally, and amino acid metabolism plays a significant role in its development.
  • Researchers identified six key amino acid metabolism genes (AMGs) as prognostic markers and created an amino acid metabolism scoring model (AMS) that categorizes patients into low and high AMS groups.
  • The study found that patients in the low AMS group had better overall survival rates and responded more favorably to immunotherapy compared to those in the high AMS group, indicating the AMS model's potential for predicting prognosis and therapeutic responses in colon cancer.

Colon cancer is one of the most common cancer types, although it has certain unique genetic features. This study aimed to develop a unique score for assessing prognosis and immunotherapy efficacy using integrated multi-omics analysis. Isobaric tagging for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) based proteomic analysis was used to screen differentially expressed proteins (DEP) between tumor and normal samples.

Chemoresistance is a poor prognostic factor in breast cancer and is a major obstacle to the successful treatment of patients receiving chemotherapy. However, the precise mechanism of resistance remains unclear. In this study, a pair of breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and its adriamycin-resistant counterpart MCF-7/ADR was used to examine resistance-dependent cellular responses and to identify potential therapeutic targets.

Objective: To explore the treatment of breast sclerosis caused by capsular contracture after augmentation mammaplasty, and preventive measures after the treatment to avoid the recurrence.

Methods: With the incision through periareola, a part of the fibrous capsule and fibrillate tissue which is between the base of the capsula and the wall of the capsula were resected in the shape of wedge. At the same time, the wall of the capsular cavity was incised in radiant shape to relax it.
