16, p = 0.023). MYC and BCL2 double-expressor (DE) was of prognostic significance for PFS (HR = 7.02, p = 0.047) and OS (HR= 10.37, p = 0.041). The combination of NGLDM_Contrast
and DE yielded three risk groups with zero (n = 7), one (n = 11), or two (n = 6) factors (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0004, for PFS and OS), respectively. The PFS was 85.7%, 63.6%, and 0%, respectively, and the OS was 100%, 90.9%, and 16.7%, respectively. Moreover, there was no significant association between PET/CT variables and CRS.

In conclusion, radiomic features extracted from baseline
F-FDG PET/CT images in combination with genomic factors could predict the survival outcomes of BCL patients receiving CAR T-cell therapy.

Identifying risk metabolites associated with its progression is essential for the early prevention and treatment of ESCC. A total of 373 ESCC, 40 esophageal squamous dysplasia (ESD), and 218 healthy controls (HC) subjects were enrolled in this study. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was used to acquire plasma metabolic profiles. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and adjusted odds ratio (OR) were calculated to evaluate the potential diagnosis and prediction ability markers. The levels of alpha-tocopherol and cysteine were progressively decreased, while the levels of aminomalonic acid were progressively increased during the various stages (from precancerous lesions to advanced-stage) of exacerbation in ESCC patients. Alpha-tocopherol performed well for the differential diagnosis of HC and ESD/ESCC (AUROC>0.90). OR calculations showed that a high level of aminomalonic acid was not only a risk factor for further development of ESD to ESCC (OR>13.0) but also a risk factor for lymphatic metastasis in ESCC patients (OR>3.0). A low level of alpha-tocopherol was a distinguished independent risk factor of ESCC (OR0.95). In conclusion, the oxidative stress function was impaired in ESCC patients, and improving the body's antioxidant function may help reduce the early occurrence of ESCC.Variant acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) showed quite different aspects, and the current treatments remained challenged at present. Venetoclax, a selective inhibitor of B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2), is a small molecule that has been studied in several hematologic malignancies as both monotherapy and in combination with other agents. However, there is little of its use in the treatment of APL or variant APL. In this report, we identified THRAP3 as novel RARA fusion in resembling APL, which was resistant to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) combined arsenic trioxide (ATO) chemotherapy. Then, the patient was salvaged by low-dose venetoclax and decitabine. The treatment in this case demonstrates the potential ability of venetoclax in variant APL, thus providing a new treatment option for all kinds of APL.Ovarian cancer (OVCA) has the second highest mortality among all gynecological cancers worldwide due to its complexity and difficulty in early-stage diagnosis and a lack of targeted therapy. Modern strategies of OVCA treatment involve debulking surgery combined with chemotherapy. Nonetheless, the current treatment is far from satisfactory sometimes and therefore the demand for novel therapeutic measures needs to be settled. Pyroptosis is a notable form of programmed cell death characterized by influx of sodium with water, swelling of cells, and finally osmotic lysis, which is distinctive from numerous classes of programmed cell death. So far, four major pathways underlying mechanisms of pyroptosis have been identified and pyroptosis is indicated to be connected with a variety of disorders including cancerous diseases. Interestingly enough, pyroptosis plays an important role in ovarian cancer with regard to long non-coding RNAs and several regulatory molecules, as is shown by previously published reports. In this review, we summarized major pathways of pyroptosis and the current research foundations of pyroptosis and ovarian cancer, anticipating enriching the thoughts for the treatment of ovarian cancer. What is more, some problems yet unsolved in this field were also raised to hopefully propose several potential threads of OVCA treatment and research directions in future.
The purpose of this study was to assess the landscape of parathyroid carcinoma research during the last 22 years using machine learning and text analysis.

In November 2021, we obtained from PubMed all works indexed under the mesh subject line "parathyroid carcinoma". The entire set of search results was retrieved in XML format, and metadata such as title, abstract, keywords, mesh words, and year of publication were extracted for bibliometric evaluation from the original XML files. To increase the specificity of the investigation, the Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling method was applied.

The paper analyzed 3578 papers. The volume of literature related to parathyroid cancer has been relatively flat over the past 22 years. In the field of parathyroid cancer research, the most important topic of clinical interest is the differential diagnosis. Ultrasound and MIBI are the most commonly used imaging methods for localization. In terms of basic research, the mechanisms of gene mutation and local tumor recurrence are the focus of interest.

There are huge unmet research needs for parathyroid carcinoma. Improving the diagnosis rates of parathyroid cancer by clinicians and establishing new and reliable molecular pathological markers and new image localization techniques will continue to be the focus of future research.

Patients with tumors expressing SSTR2 may be successfully treated with somatostatin inhibitors or radiolabeled somatostatin analogues. We studied SSTR2 expression in TET and correlated it with 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT or 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/MR results and treatment outcome. An institutional database of TET was searched for thymoma, thymic carcinoma, and thymic neuroendocrine tumor (TNET) with available resection specimens. Cases were subtyped (2021 WHO classification) and staged (8th AJCC/UICC staging). A section was stained with anti-SSTR2 antibody (clone UMB1). Percent tumor cells with membranous staining was recorded if present in ≥1% of tumor cells. Medical records were searched for 68Ga-DOTATATE PET scans and treatment. Statistical analysis was performed. Eighty patients (1969-2021) with a median age of 61.3 years (range, 19.1-87.3) (37 maleGa-DOTATATE PET scans correlated with SSTR2 expression in TET in most patients and appeared to be useful to identify patients with TET who may be amenable to treatment with somatostatin analogues. Larger studies including more patients with 68Ga-DOTATATE PET scans are necessary to independently and prospectively validate our findings.Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common primary malignant tumors of the digestive system. Compound 5-chloro-N'-(2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)-1H-indole-2-carbohydrazide (IHZ-1/ZJQ-24) is a novel indole hydrazide derivative. In a recent study, we demonstrated that IHZ-1 inhibits tumor growth and induces cell apoptosis through inhibiting the kinase activity of mTORC1 without activation of AKT, which is associated with JNK/IRS-1 activation. However, the impact and mechanisms of JNK activation by IHZ-1 in hepatocellular carcinoma remains entirely unknown. Here, we find that IHZ-1 increases the generation of intracellular ROS and enhances autophagy. The phosphorylation of JNK induced by IHZ-1 was reversed by the decreased ROS level. Moreover, inhibition of ROS/JNK or autophagy equally attenuated apoptotic effect induced by IHZ-1. EUK 134 mouse Our findings suggest that the activation of JNK by IHZ-1 treatment is dependent on the generation of ROS that mediates apoptosis and autophagy in hepatocellular carcinoma.SRSF3, an important member of the serine/arginine-rich protein (SRp) family, is highly expressed in various tumors and plays an important role in tumor cell proliferation, migration and invasion. However, it is still unclear whether SRSF3 is involved in tumor angiogenesis. In this study, we first revealed that SRSF3 regulated the expression of numerous genes related to angiogenesis, including proangiogenic SRF. Then, we confirmed that SRSF3 was highly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and was positively correlated with SRF. Mechanistic studies revealed that SRSF3 directly bound to the "CAUC" motif in exon 6 of SRF and induced the exclusion of introns. Knockdown of SRSF3 significantly reduced the secretion of VEGF from CRC cells. Conditioned medium from SRSF3-knockdown CRC cells significantly inhibited the migration, invasion and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In addition, SRF silencing inhibited angiogenesis, while SRF overexpression reversed the antiangiogenic effects of SRSF3 knockdown on tube formation. These findings indicate that SRSF3 is involved in the splicing of SRF and thereby regulates the angiogenesis of CRC, which offers novel insight into antiangiogenic therapy in CRC.
Lymph node metastasis is one of the most important factors affecting the prognosis of gastric cancer patients. The purpose of this study is to develop a new scoring system to predict lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer using preoperative tests in various combinations of inflammatory factors and to assess the predictive prognosis value of the new scoring system for the postoperative gastric cancer patients.

This study includes 380 gastric cancer patients, 307 in the training set and 73 in the validation set. We obtain three inflammatory markers, CRA (C-reactive protein/albumin), SIRI (systemic inflammatory response index), and PLR (platelets/lymphocytes), by calculating and comparing the results of preoperative laboratory tests. By using these three indicators, a new scoring system is developed to predict lymph node metastases, assess patients' prognoses, and compare clinicopathological characteristics in different patient subgroups. A nomogram is constructed to show and assess the predictive efficacy ew scoring system can effectively predict the patients' lymph node metastasis with gastric cancer and can independently predict the prognosis of patients.Though single tumor immunotherapy and radiotherapy have significantly improved the survival rate of tumor patients, there are certain limitations in overcoming tumor metastasis, recurrence, and reducing side effects. Therefore, it is urgent to explore new tumor treatment methods. The new combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy shows promise in improving therapeutic efficacy and reducing recurrence by enhancing the ability of the immune system to recognize and eradicate tumor cells, to overcome tumor immune tolerance mechanisms. Nanomaterials, as new drug-delivery-system materials of the 21st century, can maintain the activity of drugs, improve drug targeting, and reduce side effects in tumor immunotherapy. Additionally, nanomaterials, as radiosensitizers, have shown great potential in tumor radiotherapy due to their unique properties, such as light, heat, electromagnetic effects. Here, we review the mechanisms of tumor immunotherapy and radiotherapy and the synergy of radiotherapy with multiple types of immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), tumor vaccines, adoptive cell therapy, and cytokine therapy.
