[Recent research on the relationship between pulmonary microbiome and asthma endotypes in children].

Bronchial asthma is not considered a singular disease, but rather a collection of syndromes with multiple phenotypes and mechanisms that involve various signaling pathways. It typically emerges during the preschool years, and its etiology is intricate and diverse. In recent years, the advancement of high-throughput sequencing technology has revealed that early alterations in lung microbiota may be associated with asthma incidence and progression.

Activation of LXRα attenuates 2-Ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP) induced placental dysfunction.

2-Ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP) is one of the typical organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) and has been widely detected in environmental media. Exposure to EHDPP during pregnancy affects placental development and fetal growth. Liver X receptor α (LXRα) is essential to placental development.

Novel, pathogenic insertion variant of GSDME associates with autosomal dominant hearing loss in a large Chinese pedigree.

Nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is a genetically diverse, highly heterogeneous condition characterised by deafness, and Gasdermin E (GSDME) variants have been identified as directly inducing autosomal dominant NSHL. While many NSHL cases associated with GSDME involve the skipping of exon 8, there is another, less understood pathogenic insertion variant specifically found in Chinese pedigrees that causes deafness, known as autosomal dominant 5 (DFNA5) hearing loss. In this study, we recruited a large Chinese pedigree, conducted whole-exome and Sanger sequencing to serve as a comprehensive clinical examination, and extracted genomic DNA samples for co-segregation analysis of the members.

An evolutionary machine learning for multiple myeloma using Runge Kutta Optimizer from multi characteristic indexes.

In this research, we try to design a machine learning framework for MM diagnosis from multi characteristic indexes using slime mould Runge Kutta Optimizer (MSRUN) and kernel extreme learning machine, which is called as MSRUN-KELM.

Protein profiles reveal MSH6/MSH2 as a potential biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma with microvascular invasion.

Aim: Microvascular invasion (MVI) is an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence and metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the specific protein expression profiles that differentiate HCC with MVI from those without MVI remain unclear.

Methods: The profiles of proteins in early-stage HCC tissues and normal liver tissues were characterized by quantitative proteomics techniques.

The Importance of M1-and M2-Polarized Macrophages in Glioma and as Potential Treatment Targets.

Glioma is the most common and malignant tumor of the central nervous system. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive glioma, with a poor prognosis and no effective treatment because of its high invasiveness, metabolic rate, and heterogeneity. The tumor microenvironment (TME) contains many tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which play a critical role in tumor proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis and indirectly promote an immunosuppressive microenvironment.

Knockdown of DLK4 inhibits non-small cell lung cancer tumor growth by downregulating CKS2.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of all lung cancer cases and is considered as the most common type of cancer. DLX4 was originally identified as a β-globin gene suppressor in red blood cells, which plays critical roles in several types of cancers. However, the role and related mechanism of DLX4 in NSCLC are still unclear.
