VASN promotes the aggressive phenotype in ARID1A-deficient lung adenocarcinoma.

Loss of ARID1A has been reported to drive the progression of lung adenocarcinoma, yet the underlying mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we performed secretome analysis to identify the key secreted proteins regulating lung adenocarcinoma progression. We showed that the VASN level was significantly elevated in the conditioned medium from ARID1A-depleted A549 and H1299 cells.

Gastric neoplasm detection of computer-aided detection-assisted esophagogastroduodenoscopy changes with implement scenarios: a real-world study.

Background And Aim: The implementation of computer-aided detection (CAD) devices in esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) could autonomously identify gastric precancerous lesions and neoplasms and reduce the miss rate of gastric neoplasms in prospective trials. However, there is still insufficient evidence of their use in real-life clinical practice.

Methods: A real-world, two-center study was conducted at Wenzhou Central Hospital (WCH) and Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University (RHWU).

Foxd3/SLC5A6 axis regulates apoptosis in LUAD cells by controlling mitochondrial biotin uptake.

Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for over 85 % of cases. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common subtype of NSCLC, and while targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved outcomes, many patients exhibit resistance, necessitating the development of novel treatments. This study explores the role of the SLC5A6 gene, which encodes a sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter critical for mitochondrial function, in LUAD progression.

An Active Trend of Immunotherapy Combination Regimen as Second-Line Therapy Towards Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer.

Background: As a second-line therapy, oxaliplatin/fluorouracil/leucovorin (FOLFOX) remains the standard of care for patients with biliary tract cancer (BTC); however, its efficacy is suboptimal. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether, compared with chemotherapy alone, the immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combination regimen improved the overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced BTC.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with advanced BTC who received chemotherapy or ICI combination therapy as second-line (L2) treatment between January 1, 2018, and April 1, 2022, were retrospectively identified.

Transmitted drug resistance and molecular transmission network among treatment-naive HIV-1 patients in Wenzhou, China, 2020-2023.

Background: Transmitted drug resistance (TDR) increases the risk of antiretroviral therapy (ART) failure in HIV-1 patients. This study investigated the molecular epidemiology of TDR and its transmission networks among newly diagnosed HIV-1 patients in Wenzhou, China.

Methods: We enrolled 1878 ART-naive HIV-1 patients from January 2020 to October 2023.

The outcomes of primary membranous nephropathy treated with cyclophosphamide are superior to calcineurin inhibitors in patients with renal vascular lesions: A multi-center retrospective cohort study.

Background: The difference of the outcomes of primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) with renal vascular lesions treated with cyclophosphamide (CTX) compared to calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) remains undetermined.

Methods: 872 patients with PMN finished CNIs or CTX-based therapy between 2003 and 2018 from three centers in China were followed up at most to 120 months. A propensity-score matched (PSM) method was used to analyze the difference of outcomes between those receiving CTX- and CNIs-based therapy.

LMCD-OR: a large-scale, multilevel categorized diagnostic dataset for oral radiography.

In recent years, digital dentistry has increasingly utilized advanced image analysis techniques, such as image classification and disease diagnosis, to improve clinical outcomes. Despite these advances, the lack of comprehensive benchmark datasets is a significant barrier. To address this gap, our research team develop LMCD-OR, a substantial collection of oral radiograph images designed to support extensive artificial intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostics.

Risk factors for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis: a predictive model study.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors associated with Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in people with drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) and develop a predictive model.

Methods: A total of 893 individuals with DR-TB treated at Wenzhou Central Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were included in the study after excluding 178 individuals with incomplete clinical and laboratory data, leaving 715 individuals for analysis. Data on demographic information, baseline clinical characteristics, laboratory and imaging results, and clinical diagnosis were collected to identify the risk factors for MDR-TB and establish a predictive model.

ETV4‑mediated transcriptional activation of SLC12A5 exacerbates ferroptosis resistance and glucose metabolism reprogramming in breast cancer cells.

Solute carrier family 12 member 5 (SLC12A5) is an oncogene in numerous types of cancer, however its function in breast cancer (BC) remains elusive. ETS translocation variant 4 (ETV4) promotes BC. Therefore, the present study aimed to elucidate the role of SLC12A5 in ferroptosis and glucose metabolism in BC cells as well as to understand the underlying mechanism.

RVD2 emerges as a serological marker in relation to severity and six-month clinical outcome following acute intracerebral hemorrhage: A prospective cohort study from a single academic institution.

Background: Resolvin D2 (RvD2), with an anti-inflammatory activity, harbors a neuroprotective property. Here, serum RvD2 levels were detected with an attempt to explore its prognostic implication in human acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

IL-4 Downregulates PD-L1 Level Via SOCS1 Upregulation-Induced JNK Deactivation to Enhance Antitumor Immunity in Colorectal Cancer.

Interleukin-4 (IL-4) controls cell growth and immune system regulation in tumorigenesis and can inhibit the growth of colon cancer cell lines, but the possible mechanism is unclear. In this study, we investigated the possible mechanism of IL-4 in colorectal cancer (CRC) through experiments. CRC cells received treatment with IL-4 (50 ng/mL), investigating the suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1)-related mechanism underlying the role of IL-4 in the progression and immunosuppression of CRC.

Development and validation of a prognostic signature of breast cancer based on drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME)-related genes.

The individual variation of carcinogenesis and drug response is influenced by the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs. The utilization of signatures derived from ADME-related genes holds potential for predicting prognosis and treatment response across diverse cancer types. Further investigation is required to completely understand the role of ADME-associated genes in breast cancer.
