A prediction nomogram indicated that the calibration plots for OS rates over three and five years had a stronger predictive performance in the TCGA HCC cohort in contrast with an ideal model. Positive correlations were observed between the PDCD1 and PDCD1LG2 expression and immune biomarkers, immune cells, chemokine receptors, as well as chemokines.

The present research performed a thorough examination of the prognostic significance of immune checkpoints in HCC and its correlation with immune infiltration, which suggested that PDCD1 and PDCD1LG2 were prognostic biomarkers in HCC and related to the immune infiltration.

Whether intraoperative temperature management can help patients recover quickly in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) still remains to be investigated. This study aimed to investigate the effect of intraoperative temperature management on the quality of postoperative recovery of patients who underwent pulmonary lobectomy in the PACU.

Totally, 98 patients aged 45-60 years with a body mass index of 20-25 kg/m
who underwent elective thoracoscopic lobectomy were enrolled. Patients were categorized into two groups using a random number table the conventional group received routine intervention to maintain normothermia (Group C, n = 49) and the aggressive group received integrated interventions (Group A, n = 49). In Group C, normothermic fluid was infused intravenously, the heating blanket was turned on when the intraoperative temperature was <35.0 °C, and the warming was stopped when the temperature reached 36.5 °C. In Group A, the fluid heated to 37 °C was infused intravenously, and the heating blanket n measures.
The tumour necrosis factor-α (
) gene plays an important role in the host immune response, which will influence the development and clearance of cancer. Polymorphism of the
promoter region is considered to influence its transcription and be a risk factor for tumorigenesis. In the current study, we evaluated the role of
promoter region polymorphisms in susceptibility to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer (CC).

A total of 2732 subjects, including 1173 healthy controls, 579 patients with CIN and 980 patients with CC in a Chinese Han population, were selected for the current study. Five SNPs in the
promoter, rs1799964 (-1031 C>T), rs1800630 (-863 A>C), rs1799724 (-857 C>T), rs1800629 (-308 A>G) and rs361525 (-238 A>G), were selected and genotyped using TaqMan Assays. The association of these SNPs with CIN and cervical cancer was evaluated among healthy controls, CIN and CC patients.

The frequency distribution of rs1800629 and rs361525 alleles was significanility to CC in the Chinese Han population.
The long-term outcomes of patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) remain not well known. This study aimed to investigate whether aMAP score can predict re-hospitalization, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurrence and long-term mortality in patients with HBV-ACLF.

A total of 82 patients diagnosed with HBV-ACLF and survived over 6 months were enrolled. The median follow-up period was 105 (75.9, 134.1) months. The Cox proportional hazards or logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent risk factors. Cumulative incidence of HCC and survival rate were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analysis.

Multivariate analysis identified that the aMAP risk score was an independent predictor of re-hospitalization (odds ratio [OR] = 1.112, 95% confidence interval [CI]1.021-1.211, p= 0.015), hepatocellular carcinoma occurrence (hazards ratio [HR] = 2.277, 95% CI1.014-5.114, p= 0.046) and mortality (HR = 1.366, 95% CI1.040-1.794, p= 0.025). GPCR inhibitor High-risk aMAP scores were associated with higher risk of HCC occurrence and mortality.

A higher aMAP score was an independent risk predictor of re-hospitalization, HCC occurrence and mortality, respectively, in HBV-ACLF patients who survived over 6 months, which can be applicable for early risk stratification and clinical decision.

To identify the potential differential genes between primary and metastatic melanoma, screen out immune-related genes in core genes and analyze their immune correlation, thus searching for the early diagnostic biomarkers of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) and the targets of curbing metastasis.

We analyzed two microarray datasets (GSE8401 and GSE46517) derived from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between primary and metastatic melanoma were screened out using the GEO2R tool. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed to identify the functions and pathways of DEGs. We analyzed protein-protein interaction of these DEGs based on the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes database and showed by Cytoscape software. In addition, the online Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis tool (GEPIA) was used to analyze the prognostic value of hub genes expressed in metastatic melanant melanoma. EGFR and CDH1 play a crucial role in anti-tumor immunity for CMM. Further research is needed to explore the value of these genes in the inhibition of metastasis and treatment of CMM.
Our study suggests that DSG1, FLG and PKP1 were overexpressed in metastatic melanoma compared with primary melanoma, and overexpression of these three genes was an unfavorable prognostic factor ifor CMM patients, which may indicate that they are associated with promoting metastasis of malignant melanoma. EGFR and CDH1 play a crucial role in anti-tumor immunity for CMM. Further research is needed to explore the value of these genes in the inhibition of metastasis and treatment of CMM.
Measuring portal vein diameter (PVD) is a feasible method of detecting portal vein hypertension, which is a primary and fatal complication of chronic liver disease (CLD) and is usually diagnosed very late. However, there is a paucity of morphometric information on portal vein diameter in the Ethiopian population. Hence, it is important to determine the portal vein diameter among adults with and without chronic liver disease.

The study aimed to identify how PVD is affected by age, sex, and anthropometric measurements in patients with and without CLD.

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 220 participants (110 CLD patients and 110 controls) who have visited the radiology unit at selected Hospitals. Patients with CLD were selected consecutively as they present while controls were selected by a systematic sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Correlation and independent
-test were used to assess the relations. A statistically significant association was declared at P-value <0.05.

Mean portal vein diameter for CLD patients was 17.03±1.97 mm with a range of 12.8-20.8mm and 10.79±1.27mm with a range of 7.70-13.25mm for the control group. Age, weight, and body mass index had a positive correlation with portal vein diameter in both groups. The mean portal vein diameter increased by 21.34% during deep inspiration in the control group.

The mean portal vein diameter among patients with CLD was higher than that of the control group. A significant gender-based difference was recorded in the portal vein diameter of the control group only. Ultrasonography is a non-invasive, readily available diagnostic tool for portal vein pathology.

It is recommended for clinicians to take into consideration age, sex and anthropometric measurements while measuring PVD.

The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the one-carbon metabolism pathway (
rs1805087;
rs1801133;
rs2002287, rs2276731;
rs16999593, rs2228611;
rs2424908) and the risk of female breast cancer (BC) in a Chinese population.

A population-based case-control study was conducted, involving a total of 439 BC patients and 439 age-matched healthy controls. We adopted Sequence MASSarray to identify genotyping, and used immunohistochemistry (IHC) to test the expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) in tumor tissue.

We found that rs16999593 (TC/CC vs TT adjusted OR=1.38, 95% CI 1.03-1.84,
=0.030) was associated with an increased risk of BC, while rs2228611 was related to a decreased BC risk (GA/AA vs GG adjusted OR=0.74, 95% CI 0.56-0.97,
=0.030). In addition, stratified analysis revealed that
rs16999593, rs2228611 and
rs2002287 contributed to the risk of BC, with associations with ER, PR and HER-2 expression.

In summary, this study revealed that
rs16999593 and rs2228611 were associated with BC risk.
In summary, this study revealed that DNMT1 rs16999593 and rs2228611 were associated with BC risk.
More than 40 genes influence the progression of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), including human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles. Different HLA genotype patterns result in diverse rates of T1DM development. HLA class II DR, DQ, and DP vary among different populations and ethnicities. Data on HLA polymorphism in T1DM in Indonesia are lacking. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the gene polymorphism of HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 in Indonesian children with T1DM.

In this study, 31 patients with T1DM and 31 controls were enrolled from April 2020 to April 2021. This study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Indonesia. We evaluated the gene polymorphism of HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The primers used were as follows for HLA-DQA1, DQAS34 5'-GGTGTAAACTTGTACCAG-3' (forward) and DQAA261 5'-ATTGGTAGCAGCGGTAGA-3' (reverse); for HLA-DQB1, DQBS43 5'-TGCTACT- TCACCAA(C/T)GGG-3' (forward) and DQBA249 5'-GTAGTTGTGTCTGCA (C/T)AC-3' (reverse).

The most common HLA-DQA1 subtype in the T1DM group was 0101/0102 accounting for 67.6%, and 01/03 and 02/03 were found in the T1DM group only. Meanwhile, the most common HLA-DQB1 subtype in the T1DM group was 0301, accounting for 54.8%. Most subjects in this study were Javanese.

HLA-DQA1 0101/0102 and HLA-DQB1 0301 were commonly found in Indonesian children with T1DM.

Cutaneous lichen planus (CLP) is an autoinflammatory skin disorder, and it is associated with metabolic syndrome. Wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site family member 5a (Wnt5a) is a potential factor in metabolic complications and it was shown to be upregulated in CLP lesions. Whether Wnt5a is altered in the circulation of patients with CLP is unclear. This study aimed to measure serum Wnt5a level in patients with CLP and to assess its relationship with body mass index (BMI).

We included 46 adult patients with CLP and 38 healthy adults as control. Serum Wnt5a was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

The mean serum Wnt5a was significantly higher in patients than controls (all
-value <0.001). The mean serum Wnt5a levels in obese (BMI between 30 and 40) patients were significantly higher than lean (BMI between 20 and 25) patients (
-value <0.001). Compared to lean patients with CLP, the concentration of serum Wnt5a levels was increased gradually with BMI score (all
-value <0.
