Background: Rising rates of lung cancer screening have contributed to an increase in pulmonary nodule diagnosis rates. Studies have shown that psychosocial factors and hormones have an impact on the development of the oncological diseases. Therefore, we conducted this study to explore the potential relationship between pulmonary nodules pathology and patient personality traits and hormone levels.

The ideal operative timing for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) remains controversial, particularly in emergency patients. This study aimed to evaluate the necessity of operative timing for emergency LC. One hundred ninety-four patients who had undergone operative timings were classified into groups of <72h and >72h from the onset of symptoms to the operation.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumours of female reproductive system. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer and brachytherapy is an irreplaceable part of cervical cancer radiotherapy. However, bilateral cervical cancer in a complete septate is extremely rare.

The atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and the brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are critical biological makers and regulators of cardiac functions. Our previous results show that NPRA (natriuretic peptide receptor A)-deficient mice have distinct metabolic patterns and expression profiles compared with the control. Still, the molecular mechanism that could account for this observation remains to be elucidated.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a heterogeneous disease; the tumor distribution and molecular subtype could affect the prognosis of patients with GC. However, the clinicopathological difference between GC in the lesser and that in the greater curvature remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the difference and provide new clues for the treatment of GC.

Aseptic loosening after total hip replacement brings adverse health outcomes and increased risk for complications. The resorptive activity of inflammatory cells activated by the presence of wear-generated debris plays a critical role in debris-induced osteolysis. Previous studies indicate that the abnormally expressed LINC01534 plays a critical role in inflammatory responses.

To investigate the differences in the correlation between multidrug resistance protein 1 () () gene polymorphism and clopidogrel resistance in patients of the Hui and Han nationalities with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A total of 377 subjects (154 people of Hui nationality, 223 people of Han nationality) with PCI were enrolled in the study. Each patient's platelet aggregation rate was induced by adenosine diphosphate and measured using light turbidimetry.

Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are important biological markers and regulators of cardiac function. The natriuretic peptide receptor A (NPRA), also known as NPR1 or guanylyl cyclase A, binds ANP and BNP to initiate transmembrane signal transduction by elevating the intracellular levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate. However, the effects and mechanisms downstream of NPRA are largely unknown.

To investigate the different expression of epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in gastric cancer based on tumor locations and its impact on patients survival.Gastric cancer is heterogeneous disease, recent years have established a molecular classification and described distribution of molecular subtypes in stomach. However, the difference of EGFR and HER-2 expression among tumor location is still unknown.
