Consistent improvements for overall survival (OS) have been reported for individuals with metastatic cancer. Swedish population-based registers allow national coverage and long follow-up time. The aim of this study was to estimate and explore long-term OS of individuals diagnosed with metastatic cancer using Swedish nationwide health registers.
Individuals with metastatic breast (MBC), non-small cell lung (MNSCLC), ovary (MOC) or colorectal cancer (MCRC) or metastatic malignant melanoma (MMM) were identified in the Swedish national cancer register and national patient registers. Survival was estimated and stratified by available variables. Potential cure fractions were estimated using mixture cure models.
In total, approximately 69,000 individuals were identified. The most common cancers were MCRC (36.2%) and MNSCLC (29.5%). Men were more frequently diagnosed with MNSCLC, MCRC, and MMM compared to women. Except for MOC, about 50% of individuals were 70years or older at diagnosis. Throughout the study period survival differed across cancers. The longest median OS was observed for individuals with MOC and MBC. At 10years of follow-up, the survival curves flatten at a survival rate of approximately 10% for all cancers except MNSCLC. The youngest age groups had the longest median OS. Increased survival was also observed for individuals diagnosed in 2015 and 2018 compared to individuals diagnosed during earlier years. The estimated cure fractions were 4% for MBC, 1.5% for MNSCLC, 6.8% for MCRC, 8.6% for MOC and MMM.
Long-term survival has been assessed across all indications except for NSCLC.. The findings may be relevant for healthcare planning to meet the needs of future patients and potential long-term survivors.

Uterine somatic choriocarcinoma is a rare, clinically aggressive malignant tumor. They frequently concur with other cancer. However, the molecular pathogenesis between somatic choriocarcinoma and the concurrent carcinoma has rarely been addressed to date.
We report a 68-years old Chinese woman with a uterine choriocarcinoma arising from serous carcinoma. The patient underwent radical surgery including total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy and pelvic lymph node resection. She received 10 courses of post-operative chemotherapy. She died of disease 13months after her surgery. Microscopically, the tumor showed a biphasic pattern of choriocarcinoma and serous carcinoma. The choriocarcinomatous component showed a combination of cytotrophoblast, intermediate trophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast with hemorrhage and necrosis. The component of serous carcinoma was characterized by solid sheets of small cells with marked nuclear atypia and occasional glandular and papillary focomponent. Next-generation sequencing revealed that the genetic abnormalities were overlapping between the two components.
Diagnosing fatty liver and identifying disease status are important for fatty liver related-diseases prevention. The fatty liver index (FLI), which can be easily available in clinical practice, can be very useful for managing fatty liver and preventing related diseases. No large-scale and long-term follow-up prospective studies have investigated the relationship between FLI and incident type 2 diabetes (T2DM) independent of baseline insulin resistance status. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between FLI and incident T2DM and to determine whether FLI could be used as an indicator of T2DM using a large-sample, community-based Korean cohort over 12years.
Among the 10,030 total participants, 7,777 (3,676 men and 4,101 women) without diabetes were selected from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). FLI grade, which ranged from 0 to 100, was categorized into three groups low, FLI (< 30); intermediate, FLI (30-59); and high, FLI (≥ 60). The hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident T2DM were calculated using multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models after adjusting for potentially confounding variables.
In total, 1,490 individuals (19.2%) developed T2DM during follow-up. Compared to the reference FLI (< 30), the HRs of incident T2DM for the FLI (30-59), and FLI (≥ 60) increased after adjusting for potentially confounding variables, including the HOMA-IR marker.
FLI grade at baseline could be a future indicator of T2DM even when prior glucose or insulin (HOMA-IR) levels are normal.

Early metastasis is a key factor contributing to poor breast cancer (BC) prognosis. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are regarded as the precursor cells of metastasis, which are ultimately responsible for the main cause of death in BC. However, to date molecular mechanisms underlying CTC formation in BC have been insufficiently defined.
RNA-seq was carried out in primary tissues from early-stage BC patients (with CTCs≥5 and CTCs = 0, respectively) and the validation study was conducted in untreated 80 BC patients. Multiple in vitro and in vivo models were used in functional studies. Luciferase reporter, ChIP-seq, CUT&Tag-seq, and GST-pulldown, etc. were utilized in mechanistic studies. CTCs were counted by the CanPatrol™ CTC classification system or LiquidBiospy™ microfluidic chips. ERK1/2 inhibitor SCH772984 was applied to in vivo treatment.
Highly expressed FOXD1 of primary BC tissues was observed to be significantly associated with increased CTCs in BC patients, particularly in early BC patients. On from the early stages of BC.
Here, we report a FOXD1-dependent RalA-ANXA2-Src complex that promotes CTC formation via activating ERK1/2 signal in BC. Tubastatin A FOXD1 may serve as a prognostic factor in evaluation of BC metastasis risks. This signaling cascade is druggable and effective for overcoming CTC formation from the early stages of BC.
The incidence of Achilles tendon ruptures (ATR) has increased over the past few decades. Treatment may be individualised based upon multiple factors including age, pre-injury activity level and the separation of the ruptured tendon ends. Several studies indicate that women may have a poorer self-reported and clinical outcome compared with men, but the number of women in these studies is often small due to the different incidence of ATR between the genders.
The primary aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is a difference in self-reported outcome after an acute ATR between women and men at one to five years following injury. The second aim was to compare the outcome between the surgically and non-surgically treated patients.
Data were obtained from the medical charts of patients treated for an acute ATR between 1 and 2015 and 31 December 2020 at Sahlgrenska University Hospital/Mölndal. The Achilles tendon total rupture score (ATRS) and additional questions relating to treatment and recovery were determined. A multiple regression analysis was performed to isolate the impact of sex when comparing the patient-reported outcome between women and men.
A total of 856 patients were included of which 66% participated prospectively. Sex, BMI and age were found to be significant factors influencing the total ATRS score. Female gender resulted in a lower ATRS, 7.8 points (CI = 3.3 to 12.3), than male gender. It was found that treatment did not significantly predict the results of the ATRS.
To our knowledge, this is the first report with a larger number of women included showing that female sex predicts inferior self-reported results after an acute ATR.

Food environments are viewed as the interface where individuals interact with the wider food system to procure and/or consume food. Institutional food environment characteristics have been associated with health outcomes including obesity and nutrition-related non-communicable diseases (NR-NCDs) in studies from high-income countries. The objectives of this study were (1) to map and characterise the food-outlets within a Ghanaian university campus; and (2) to assess the healthiness of the food outlets.
Data collection was undertaken based on geospatial open-source technologies and the collaborative mapping platform OpenStreetMap using a systematic approach involving three phases remote mapping, ground-truthing, and food-outlet survey. Spatial analyses were performed using Quantum Geographical Information System (QGIS) and comprised kernel density, buffer, and average nearest neighbour analyses to assess outlet distribution, density, and proximity. A classification system was developed to assess the healthicampuses and to lead the way towards the creation of healthy food environments at the home, work, and community levels.
Further action, including research to ascertain how the features of the University's food environment have or are influencing students' dietary behaviours are needed to inform interventions aimed at creating healthier foodscapes in the study University and other campuses and to lead the way towards the creation of healthy food environments at the home, work, and community levels.
Efficient exploration of knowledge for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) is critical for both clinicians and researchers. However, due to the large number of clinical trials and published articles, searching for this knowledge is very labor-intensive. In the current study, using natural language processing (NLP), we analyzed medical research corpora related to recurrent glioblastoma to find potential targets and treatments.
We fine-tuned the 'SAPBERT', which was pretrained on biomedical ontologies, to perform question/answering (QA) and name entity recognition (NER) tasks for medical corpora. The model was fine-tuned with the SQUAD2 dataset and multiple NER datasets designed for QA task and NER task, respectively. Corpora were collected by searching the terms "recurrent glioblastoma" and "drug target", published from 2000 to 2020 in the Web of science (N = 288 articles). Also, clinical trial corpora were collected from 'clinicaltrial.gov' using the searching term of 'recurrent glioblastoma" (NThe knowledge found by the models may be used for treating recurrent glioblastoma.
There is a discourse on whether air pollution mixtureor air pollutant components arecausally linked to increased mortality. In particular, there is uncertainty on whether the association of NO
with mortality is independent of fine particulate matter (PM
).Furthermore,effect modification by temperature onair pollution-related mortality also needs more evidence.
We used the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Study (CLHLS), aprospective cohort with geographical and socio-economicdiversity in China. The participants were enrolled in 2008 or 2009 and followed up in 2011-2012, 2014, and2017-2018. We used remote sensing and ground monitors to measurenitrogen dioxide (NO
), fine particulate matter (PM
) , and temperature. We used the Cox-proportional hazards model to examine the association betweencomponent and composite air pollution and all-cause mortality, adjusted for demographic characteristics, lifestyle, geographical attributes, and temperature. We used the restricted cubic spline to visualize the concentration-response curve.
