Impact of dry eye disease on psychological symptoms among Chinese doctoral students studying abroad.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of dry eye disease (DED) on depression, anxiety, and stress among Chinese doctoral students studying abroad. This is a cross-sectional study. This study enrolled 185 Chinese doctoral students pursuing education in the Philippines.

Profiling transcriptional heterogeneity of epithelium, fibroblasts, and immune cells in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by single-cell RNA sequencing.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies with complex tumor microenvironment (TME) which has been proven to be associated with therapeutic failure or resistance. A deeper understanding of the complex TME and cellular heterogeneity is urgently needed in ESCC. Here, we generated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of 25 796 immune and 8197 non-immune cells from three primary tumor and paired normal samples in ESCC patients.

Down-regulation of long non-coding RNA MEG3 indicates an unfavorable prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer: Evidence from the GEO database.

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MEG3 (maternally expressed gene 3) is an imprinted gene that suppresses cells growth in various tumors. However, the association between MEG3 expression and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been fully investigated. Seven datasets with 1144 patients were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.
