From the Department of Radiology, First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine.
Objective: This study explored the feasibility of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for the diagnosis of mediastinal lymph node (LN) metastasis in patients with lung cancer.
Methods: Forty-two consecutive patients with lung cancer, who underwent DECT, were included in this retrospective study. The attenuation value (Hounsfield unit) in virtual monochromatic images and the iodine concentration in the iodine map were measured at mediastinal LNs.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of various physiological and pathological processes and may serve key roles in the maintenance of bone homeostasis via effects on osteoblast differentiation. The aim of the present study was to define the role of miR-877-3p in osteoblast differentiation using MC3T3-E1 cells, an osteoblast precursor cell line. It was demonstrated using RT-qPCR analysis that miR-877-3p was gradually increased in MC3T3-E1 cells during the osteoblastic differentiation induced by transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1.

Article Synopsis
- Autophagy is a vital cellular process that break down damaged components and is crucial for cell survival under stress.
- It has a complex relationship with cancer, providing energy for tumor growth while also promoting cell death to suppress tumors.
- Research indicates that targeting autophagy could enhance cancer therapies, especially when combined with treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
