Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the regulation of immune response and carcinogenesis, shaping tumor immune microenvironment, which could be utilized in the construction of prognostic signatures for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as supplements.

Data of patients with stage I-III NSCLC was downloaded from online databases. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used to construct a lncRNA-based prognostic model. Differences in tumor immune microenvironments and pathways were explored for high-risk and low-risk groups, stratified by the model. We explored the potential association between the model and immunotherapy by the tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion algorithm.

Our study extracted 15 immune-related lncRNAs to construct a prognostic model. Survival analysis suggested better survival probability in low-risk group in training and validation cohorts. The combination of tumor, node, and metastasis staging systems with immune-related lncRNA signatures presented higherficacy of traditional tumor staging systems.The discovery of circular RNA (circRNA) greatly complements the traditional gene expression theory. CircRNA is a class of non-coding RNA with a stable cyclic structure. They are highly expressed, spatiotemporal-specific and conservative across species. Importantly, circRNA participates in the occurrence of many kinds of tumors and regulates the tumor development. Glioma is featured by limited therapy and grim prognosis. Cancer-associated circRNA compromises original function or creates new effects in glioma, thus contributing to oncogenesis. Therefore, this article reviews the biogenesis, metabolism, functions and properties of circRNA as a novel potential biomarker for gliomas. We elaborate the expression characteristics, interaction between circRNA and other molecules, aiming to identify new targets for early diagnosis and treatment of gliomas.Gastric cancer is a deadly disease, and the low rate of early diagnosis and chemoresistance largely contributed to the poor prognosis of gastric cancer. LncRNAs have been extensively reported for their roles in regulating cancer progression. In this study, we found that KLF3-AS1 was down-regulated in gastric cancer cells. Overexpression of KLF3-AS1 repressed gastric cancer cell proliferation, growth. In addition, KLF3-AS1 overexpression also exerted inhibitory effects on the gastric cancer cell invasion, migration and EMT, but promoted chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells to cisplatin. The mechanistic studies showed that KLF3-AS1 could act as the "sponge" for miR-223 and to repress miR-223 expression in gastric cancer cells. Overexpression of miR-223 reversed the inhibitory effects of KLF3-AS1 overexpression on gastric cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT, and attenuated the enhanced effects of KLF3-AS1 overexpression on gastric cancer cell chemosensitivity to cisplatin. The in vivo studies showed that KLF3-AS1 overexpression suppressed the tumor growth of SGC-7901 in the nude mice. In conclusion, our results for the first time demonstrated that KLF3-AS1 was down-regulated in gastric cancer cells and repressed gastric cancer cell proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT, and enhanced chemosensitivity to cisplatin. Further mechanistic results indicated that KLF3-AS1 exerted its biological function in gastric cancer cells by inhibiting miR-223 expression. Future studies are still required to decipher the detailed molecular mechanisms of KLF3-AS1 in gastric cancer.A 48-year old woman was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) and with a marked elevation in alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), this being a recognized but uncommon feature of PACC. As she refused chemotherapy, the combined therapy of lenvatinib and sintilimab (lenvatinib 8 mg, orally, qd; and sintilimab 100 mg, intravenous glucose tolerance test, q21d) was given, which conferred significant tumor shrinkage and long progression-free survival (>21 months). This study is the first report and description of a PACC demonstrating favorable response to the combination therapy of an antiangiogenic agent and immunotherapy.
The curative effect of high-efficiency progesterone and other therapeutic drugs for endometrioid adenocarcinoma patients with preservation of reproductive capacity has not been satisfactory so far. Novel therapeutic drugs need to be explored.

We investigated the cytoplastic and nuclear expression levels of LMTK3 between endometrioid adenocarcinoma tissues and adjacent endometrial tissues by immunohistochemistry. We detected the effects of LMTK3 on cell viability of Ishikawa cells by CCK-8. We detected the effects of LMTK3 on cell cycle and apoptosis of Ishikawa cells by flow cytometry. We also detected the effects of LMTK3 knockdown on mRNA and protein levels of ERα by qRT-PCR and western blotting, respectively. We also used the cBioPortal online database to analyze the coexpression of
and
in 1647 UCEC samples.

We used TMAs to identify that LMTK3 was mainly detected in the cytoplasm of endometrioid tissues, and cytoplasmic LMTK3 expression in endometrioid tissues was higher than that in adjacent endometrial tissues (
< 0.05). LMTK3 knockdown decreased the proliferation of Ishikawa cells through decreasing cell viability (
< 0.01), increasing G1 (
< 0.001) arrest, and promoting apoptosis (
< 0.01). There was a positive correlation between the mRNA expression levels of
and
(Spearman
=2.011e-5, R=0.13; Pearson
=7.18e-8, R=0.17). Knockdown of LMTK3 also reduced the mRNA (
< 0.001) and protein (
< 0.001) levels of ERα.

Inhibitors of LMTK3 may be a possible future treatment for ERα and LMTK3 highly expressed endometrioid adenocarcinoma following appropriate studies.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is considered a standard treatment strategy for locally advanced triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). TNBC patients who achieve a pathologic complete response (pCR) are predicted to have a better prognosis while unfavorable chemo-sensitivity is still associated with a higher risk of disease relapse. The objective of this study was to construct a nomogram to predict disease-free survival (DFS) for TNBC patients following NACT.

A total of 165 TNBC patients who underwent standard NACT and surgery were retrospectively reviewed, and data on their clinicopathological factors before and after NACT were collected. Independent prognostic factors for DFS were identified by Cox regression based on lower Akaike information criteria (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC). A nomogram to predict the 2-year and 5-year DFS following NACT for TNBC was constructed based on training cohort (n = 132) and validated by a validation cohort (n = 33).

Either limited or full pCR (breast-onidation cohort.

The nomogram proposed in our study enabled to quantify the risk of disease relapse and demonstrated superior predictive performance than a survival predict instrument. It was an easy-to-use tool for clinicians to guide individualized surveillance of TNBC patients following standard NACT.

Digestive system carcinoma is one of the most devastating diseases worldwide. Lack of valid clinicopathological parameters as prognostic factors needs more accurate and effective biomarkers for high-confidence prognosis that guide decision-making for optimal treatment of digestive system carcinoma. The aim of the present study was to establish a novel model to improve prognosis prediction of digestive system carcinoma, with a particular interest in transcription factors (TFs).

A TF-related prognosis model of digestive system carcinoma with data from TCGA database successively were processed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Then, for evaluating the prognostic prediction value of the model, ROC curve and survival analysis were performed by external data from GEO database. Furthermore, we verified the expression of TFs expression by qPCR in digestive system carcinoma tissue. Finally, we constructed a TF clinical characteristics nomogram to furtherly predict digestive system carcinoma patient survival probability with TCGA database.

By Cox regression analysis, a panel of 17 TFs (NFIC, YBX2, ZBTB47, ZNF367, CREB3L3, HEYL, FOXD1, TIGD1, SNAI1, HSF4, CENPA, ETS2, FOXM1, ETV4, MYBL2, FOXQ1, ZNF589) was identified to present with powerful predictive performance for overall survival of digestive system carcinoma patients based on TCGA database. A nomogram that integrates TFs was established, allowing efficient prediction of survival probabilities and displaying higher clinical utility.

The 17-TF panel is an independent prognostic factor for digestive system carcinoma, and 17 TFs based nomogram might provide implication an effective approach for digestive system carcinoma patient management and treatment.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have dramatically altered the treatment landscape for patients with melanoma. However, their use also generates unique immune-related adverse effects (irAEs). We performed a systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare the risk of pneumonitis associated with ICIs for patients with advanced or metastatic melanoma.

Phase II/III randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with ICIs were identified through comprehensive searches of multiple databases. An NMA was conducted to compare the risk of pneumonitis associated with ICIs and all-grade (grade 1-5) and high-grade (grade 3-5) immune-related pneumonitis (IRP) were estimated by odds ratios (ORs).

A total of 10 randomized clinical trials involving 5,335 patients were enrolled in this study. Conventional chemotherapy was associated with a lower risk of grade 1-5 IRP compared with ICIs monotherapy (OR, 0.14, 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.73) and dual ICIs combination (OR, 0.03, 95% CI, 0.00 to 0.19). Nesuparib In addition, dual ICIs combination gnificant difference in the risk of pneumonia between CTLA-4 and PD-1 inhibitors.
Previous studies have mostly discussed the clinical manifestations and prognosis of mucinous breast carcinoma with a micropapillary pattern. The purposes of this study were to investigate the sonographic features of pure mucinous breast carcinoma with micropapillary pattern (MUMPC) and to identify the role of ultrasound in the differential diagnosis between MUMPC and conventional pure mucinous breast carcinoma (cPMBC).

We obtained written informed consent from all patients, and the Ethics Committee of West China Hospital approved this retrospective study. The study was conducted between May and August 2020. We enrolled 133 patients with 133 breast lesions confirmed as mucinous breast carcinoma (MBC) histopathologically between January 2014 and January 2020.We retrospectively assessed sonographic features (margin, shape, internal echogenicity, calcification, posterior acoustic feature, invasive growth, blood flow grade, and rate of missed diagnosis) and clinical characteristics (age, tumor size, tumor texture, initial symptom, and lymph node metastasis).
