Clinicopathological Features and Prognosis of Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients With K-RAS Gene Mutation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between K-RAS gene mutation and clinicopathological features and prognostic factors in lung adeno … dex, deletion mutation of exon 19 in EGFR, and high expression of PD-L1 (≥50%) could all affect the prognosis of patients ( P < 0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that high expression of PD-L1 (≥50%) was an independent predictor of prognosis in patients with K-RAS gene mutation in lung adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: K-RAS mutant lung adenocarcinoma is a …

[Chemerin mediated neutrophil infiltration in oral squamous cell carcinoma and predicted poor prognosis].

Novel cuproptosis-related lncRNAs can predict the prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma.

BACKGROUND: Cuproptosis-related long-stranded non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have several implications for the prognosis of multiple myeloma (MM). This research aimed to construct a prognostic risk model for MM patients and explore the potential signaling pathways in the risk group. METHODS: Cuproptosis-related lncRNAs were obtained from the co-expression analysis of cuproptosis-related genes and lncRNAs. Subsequently, twelve cuproptosis-related lncRNAs were selected to construct a prognostic risk model of MM patients by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. Then,…

Immune system roles in pathogenesis, prognosis, control, and treatment of Toxoplasma gondii infection.

Toxoplasma gondii is the protozoan causative agent of toxoplasmosis in humans and warm-blooded animals. Recent studies have illustrated that the immune system plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of toxoplasmosis by triggering immune cytokines like IL-12, TNF-α, and IFN-γ and immune cells like DCs, Th1, and Th17. On the other hand, some immune components can serve as prognosis markers of toxoplasmosis. In healthy people, the disease is often asymptomatic, but immunocompromised people and newborns may suffer severe symptoms and complications. Therefore, the immune prognostic markers may pro…

CONCLUSION: Despite the poor prognosis of patients with ALL presenting relapse after a first allo-SCT, some can be satisfactorily rescued and a second allo-SCT still remains a valid option for selected patients. Moreover, emerging therapies really might improve ALL patients outcome when …

[Pathophysiology, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic lung disease].

The pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic lung disease (PH-CLD) is complex, multifactorial, and not consistent among pulmonary diseases. However, pulmonary vasculopathy triggered by various factors, such as chronic alveolar hypoxia or cigarette smoking, seems to play a central role in the pathogenesis of PH-CLD. While the initial workup of PH-CLD is usually complicated by an overlap of symptoms of PH and the underlying lung disease, PH-CLD should be considered when there is a discrepancy between symptoms (especially exertional dyspnea) and pulmonary function tests.

PROS1 shapes the immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment and predicts poor prognosis in glioma.

BACKGROUND: Glioma is the most malignant cancer in the brain. As a major vitamin-K-dependent protein in the central nervous system, PROS1 not only plays a vital role in blood coagulation, and some studies have found that it was associated with tumor immune infiltration. However, the prognostic significance of PROS1 in glioma and the underlying mechanism of PROS1 in shaping the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) remains unclear. METHODS: The raw data (including RNA-seq, sgRNA-seq, clinicopathological variables and prognosis, and survival data) were acquired from public databases, including T…

Predicting the Prognosis of Multiple System Atrophy Using Cluster and Principal Component Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is an intractable neurodegenerative disorder with poorly understanding of prognostic factors. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this retrospective longitudinal study was to explore the main predictors of survival of MSA patients with new clinical subtypes based on cluster analysis. METHODS: A total of 153 Chinese MSA patients were recruited in our study. The basic demographic data and motor and nonmotor symptoms were assessed. Cluster and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to eliminate collinearity and search for new clinical subtypes. The multivar

[Periprocedural myocardial injury and infarction after myocardial revascularization: incidence, clinical features and prognosis].

Myocardial revascularization, either percutaneous or surgical, is the cornerstone of chronic and acute ischemic coronary artery disease therapy. Periprocedural myocardial injury and infarction are possible complications of these procedures. Several pathogenetic mechanisms have been proposed in the setting of percutaneous (distal embolism, vasospasm, obstruction of a minor vessel) or surgical revascularization (prolonged ischemic time, early graft failure, arrhythmia or severe hypotension during the procedure). High-sensitivity cardiac troponins have emerged as the recommended biomarkers due to

Heart Failure With Stable Mildly-reduced Ejection Fraction: Prognosis and Predictors of Outcomes.

Heart failure with mildly-reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) of 40%-49% is an under-recognized type of heart failure. The prognosis and predictors of outcomes of stable mildly-reduced ejection fraction (EF) of 1 year are unclear. This is a retrospective study. Included patients had stable left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) for at least 1 year (n = 609) and were classified into 3 groups based on LVEF. Clinical outcome measures were all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, and HF hospitalization (HFH). In patients with stable HFmrEF of one year, the predictors of clinical outcomes and hosp…

Different management strategies for cesarean scar pregnancy: Short-term outcomes and reproductive prognosis.

PURPOSE: To investigate the impact on future reproductive potential of systemic methotrexate (MTX) administration, uterine artery embolization (UAE) and expectant management as treatments of caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and to assess their efficacy and safety. BASIC PROCEDURES: We retrospectively analysed patients with a diagnosis of CSP treated in a five years' period (2014-2018). Hospitalization, hCG normalization, menstrual cycle recovery, ultrasound restitutio ad integrum times, reproductive desire accomplishment after the resolution of the picture, and outcomes of subsequent pregnancie

High intramuscular adipose tissue content associated with prognosis and postoperative complications of cancers.

Sarcopenia has been considered an adverse prognostic factor in cancer patients. Intramuscular adipose tissue content, as a new marker of sar … ve complications (OR: 2.05, 95% CI: 1.22-3.46, P = 0.007). High IMAC was associated with an adverse prognosis and an increased risk of postoperative complications in cancer patients. IMAC may be a good indicator of sarcopenia.

How does the clinical and tomographic appearance of MRONJ influences its treatment prognosis?

OBJECTIVES: To identify clinical and tomographic prognostic factors for conservative and surgical treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). METHODS: A retrospective search identified patients treated with antiresorptive drugs (ARDs), diagnosed with Stage 1, 2 or 3 MRONJ, and having CBCT scans previous to conservative or surgical treatment. Following data collection, imaging assessment of the following parameters on each MRONJ site was performed: involvement of teeth and/or implants, presence of osteosclerosis, osteolysis, sequestrum formation, periosteal reaction, and

Navigating prognostic communication when children with poor-prognosis cancer experience prolonged disease stability.

BACKGROUND: Most pediatric patients and families want clear prognostic information across the illness course. Yet when children with poor-prognosis cancer experience prolonged disease stability, uncertainty can make communication particularly challenging. In this study, we aimed to (i) assess how frequently oncologists communicate about prognosis when high-risk cancer does not progress, and (ii) describe prognostic communication patterns in the context of disease stability. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this prospective, longitudinal, mixed-methods study, we audio-recorded serial disease re-evalua…
