Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diminished levels of meaning in life can have a range of detrimental effects on cancer patients, including heightened anxiety, depression, psychological distress, reduced quality of life and, in severe cases, even thoughts of suicide. Notably, young and middle-aged cancer patients often exhibit even lower levels of meaning in life compared with their counterparts in other age groups. The primary objective of this study is to formulate a meaning in life intervention programme and assess its efficacy in enhancing the meaning in life and other relevant indicators among young and middle-aged cancer patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A prospective, parallel-group randomised controlled trial will be conducted. Eighty-eight young and middle-aged cancer patients will be randomised into either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive 4 week, six-session, group-based meaning in life intervention programme, while the control group will receive treatment as usual. The primary outcome is meaning in life, and secondary outcomes are post-traumatic growth and psychological distress. These indicators will be assessed at baseline, on completion of the intervention and again 2 months following its conclusion. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The trial has received approval from the Institutional Review Board of Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Hospital (2202-53-04-2301A-2310B). The study results will be shared through peer-reviewed journals and conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2200060672.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sp1, a transcription factor, regulates essential cellular processes and plays important tumorigenic roles across diverse cancers. However, comprehensive pan-cancer analyses of its expression and potential immunomodulatory roles remain unexplored. METHODS Utilizing bioinformatics tools and public datasets, we examined the expression of Sp1 across normal tissues, tumors, and immune cells, and screened for pre- and post-transcriptional modifications, including genetic alterations, DNA methylation, and protein phosphorylation, affecting its expression or function. The association of Sp1 expression with immune cell infiltration, tumor mutational burden, and immune checkpoint signaling was also investigated. Single-cell transcriptome data was used to assess Sp1 expression in immune cells in gastric cancer (GC), and findings were corroborated using immunohistochemistry and multiplex immunofluorescence in an immunotherapy-treated patient cohort. The prognostic value of Sp1 in GC patients receiving immunotherapy was evaluated with Cox regression models. RESULTS Elevated Sp1 levels were observed in various cancers compared to normal tissues, with notable prominence in GC. High Sp1 expression correlated with advanced stage, poor prognosis, elevated tumor mutational burden (TMB), and microsatellite instability (MSI) status, particularly in GC. Significant correlations between Sp1 levels and CD8+ T cell and the M1 phenotype of tumor-associated macrophages were further detected upon multiplex immunofluorescence in GC samples. Interestingly, we verified that GC patients with higher Sp1 levels exhibited improved response to immunotherapy. Moreover, Sp1 emerged as a prognostic and predictive biomarker for GC patients undergoing immunotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Our pan-cancer analysis sheds light on the multifaceted role of Sp1 in tumorigenesis and underscores its potential as a prognostic and predictive biomarker for patients with GC undergoing immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent malignancies in males worldwide. Increasing research attention has focused on the PCa microenvironment, which plays a crucial role in tumor progression and therapy resistance. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the key components of the PCa microenvironment, including immune cells, vascular systems, stromal cells, and microbiota, and explore their implications for diagnosis and treatment. METHODS Keywords such as "prostate cancer", "tumor microenvironment", "immune cells", "vascular system", "stromal cells", and "microbiota" were used for literature retrieval through online databases including PubMed and Web of Science. Studies related to the PCa microenvironment were selected, with a particular focus on those discussing the roles of immune cells, vascular systems, stromal cells, and microbiota in the development, progression, and treatment of PCa. The selection criteria prioritized peer-reviewed articles published in the last five years, aiming to summarize and analyze the latest research advancements and clinical relevance regarding the PCa microenvironment. RESULTS The PCa microenvironment is highly complex and dynamic, with immune cells contributing to immunosuppressive conditions, stromal cells promoting tumor growth, and microbiota potentially affecting androgen metabolism. Vascular systems support angiogenesis, which fosters tumor expansion. Understanding these components offers insight into the mechanisms driving PCa progression and opens avenues for novel therapeutic strategies targeting the tumor microenvironment. CONCLUSIONS A deeper understanding of the PCa microenvironment is crucial for advancing diagnostic techniques and developing precision therapies. This review highlights the potential of targeting the microenvironment to improve patient outcomes, emphasizing its significance in the broader context of PCa research and treatment innovation.

The outcome of advanced and recurrent cervical cancer patients treated with first-line platinum and paclitaxel with or without indication for immune checkpoint inhibitors: the comparative study. BMC Cancer 2024; 24:1267. [PMID: 39394089 PMCID: PMC11468096 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-12989-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/24/2024] [Indexed: 10/13/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy activates the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells that have escaped surveillance. This study aimed to compare the treatment outcome of advanced and recurrent cervical cancer patients treated with first-line platinum and paclitaxel with or without ICI. METHODS Data from 69 advanced and recurrent cervical cancer patients treated with first-line ICI plus platinum and paclitaxel (N = 33) or first-line platinum and paclitaxel (N = 36) were reviewed between March 2020 and January 2023 in this retrospective study. Patients chose treatment based on the actual disease condition, patient willingness, and medical advice. Additionally, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were calculated, and adverse events were gained. RESULTS There was no difference in baseline data between patients receiving the two different treatments (all P > 0.05). Complete response rate (18.2% vs. 8.3%; P = 0.294), ORR (48.5% vs. 30.6%; P = 0.127), and DCR (81.8% vs. 72.2%; P = 0.345) tended to ascend in patients treated with ICI plus platinum and paclitaxel compared to those treated with platinum and paclitaxel, although there was no statistical significance. In patients treated with ICI plus platinum and paclitaxel, the median PFS was 10.3 months and the median OS was not reached. Meanwhile, the median PFS and OS were 7.7 and 16.9 months in patients treated with platinum and paclitaxel. PFS (P = 0.036) and OS (P = 0.033) were increased in patients treated with ICI plus platinum and paclitaxel versus those treated with platinum and paclitaxel, which was verified by multivariate Cox regression analyses (both P < 0.05). No difference was observed in the occurrence of adverse events between patients receiving the two different treatments (all P > 0.05). CONCLUSION First-line ICI plus platinum and paclitaxel yields better treatment responses, longer survival, and non-differential adverse events versus first-line platinum and paclitaxel in advanced and recurrent cervical cancer patients.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common types of malignant cancer worldwide, causing a serious social and economic burden. It is classified into non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer, with NSCLC accounting for 80-85% of cases. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 1 (EIF4G1) is highly expressed in NSCLC, playing an important role in regulating tumor growth, angiogenesis, malignant transformation, and phagocytosis. Ubiquitin-specific protease 10 (USP10) functions as a deubiquitinating enzyme to regulate substrate protein deubiquitination and reverse the ubiquitin proteasome degradation pathway. Our previous study identified an interaction between EIF4G1 and USP10; however, their regulatory mechanism remains unclear. Herein, we found that USP10 positively regulates EIF4G1 in NSCLC cells. An in vivo ubiquitination assay demonstrated deubiquitination of EIF4G1 by USP10, which reversed the ubiquitin proteasomal degradation of EIF4G1, thereby increasing its stability. Upregulation of EIF4G1 promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in NSCLC cells. The current study not only reveals a novel mechanism through which USP10 positively regulates EIF4G1 in NSCLC, but also demonstrates the potential of USP10 as a therapeutic target to treat NSCLC.

Abstract
Advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) responds poorly to current adjuvant therapies, partially due to its immunosuppressive intestinal microenvironment. We found that myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) were enriched in orthotopic tumors due to treatment-induced succinate release, which activated tuft cells and upregulated interleukin 25 (IL-25) and interleukin 13 (IL-13). We engineered a cabozantinib (Cabo)-encapsulated and maytansine (DM1)-conjugated synthetic high-density lipoprotein (ECCD-sHDL) to modulate the tumor microenvironment. DM1 induced immunogenic cell death and promoted the maturation of dendritic cells. Meanwhile, Cabo alleviated DM1-induced succinate release, preventing tuft cell activation, downregulating IL-25 and IL-13 secretion, and reducing intratumoral MDSC infiltration. ECCD-sHDL increased the densities of active cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and M1 macrophages in the tumors, effectively inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis, thereby prolonging survival in murine CRC models. Our study sheds light on the mechanism of treatment-induced immunosuppression in orthotopic CRC and demonstrates that this combinatorial therapy could be an effective treatment for CRC.

Abstract
Cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) are one of the common types of cervical cancer precancerous changes, and HPV16/18 positivity is a risk factor for HSIL recurrence. By detecting the expression of relevant markers in the lesion tissue of recurrent patients, it is helpful for the diagnosis of HPV16/18 positivity and can provide a basis for disease recurrence risk assessment. Therefore, this study analyzed the relationship between p16, C-myc, PIK3CA proteins and HPV16/18 positivity in recurrent cervical HSIL patients. By examining the p16, C-myc, and PIK3CA proteins in the cervical lesion tissue of 180 HSIL recurrent patients who underwent examination in the hospital from January 2020 to December 2022, this study analyzed the relationship between p16, C-myc, and PIK3CA proteins and HPV16/18 positivity. PIK3CA expression detection found that the proportion of positive expression of p16, C-myc, and PIK3CA in HPV16/18 (+) patients was significantly higher than that in HPV16/18 (-), and the expression of HPV16/18 in HSIL patients was significantly positively correlated with p16, C-myc, and PIK3CA. Meanwhile, a prediction model F was constructed based on binary logistic regression analysis data with good fit, and through ROC curve analysis. It was found that p16, C-myc, PIK3CA, and logistic model F can effectively predict HPV16/18 (+), with model F having the best diagnostic performance.

Sun F, Chen Z, Zhou D, Li Z, Wang H, Zhao R, Xian J, Peng J, Peng X, Jiang C, Shi M, Li D. Regularity and correlation analysis of regional lymph node metastasis in nonoperative patients with non-small cell lung cancer based on positron emission tomography/computed tomography images. Radiat Oncol 2024; 19:137. [PMID: 39375779 PMCID: PMC11457444 DOI: 10.1186/s13014-024-02523-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 09/13/2024] [Indexed: 10/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is the standard treatment for locally advanced, inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Previous studies have mainly focused on examining local failure and recurrence patterns after surgery and the principles of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in surgical candidates with NSCLC. However, these studies were just only able to guide postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) and the patterns of LNM in patients with resected NSCLC was inadequate to represent that in locally advanced inoperable NSCLC patients for guiding target volume delineation of CCRT. In this study, we aimed to analyze the metastasis regularities and establish the correlations between different lymph node levels in NSCLC patients without any intervention using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) images. METHODS Overall, 358 patients with N1-N3 NSCLC admitted in our hospital between 2018 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnosis of metastatic lymph nodes was reviewed and determined using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer standard and the standardized value of the PET/CT examination. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to investigate the correlations between the different levels were evaluated by using of the chi-square test and logistic regression model. RESULTS The lymph nodes with the highest metastasis rates in patients with left lung cancer were in order as follows: 10L, 4L, 5, 4R, and 7; while in those with right lung cancer they were 10R, 4R, 7, 2R, and 1R. Notably, we found left lung patients were more likely to have contralateral hilar, mediastinal and supraclavicular lymph nodes involved, and the right lung group exhibited a higher propensity for ipsilateral mediastinum and supraclavicular lymph node invasion. Furthermore, correlation analysis revealed there were significant correlative patterns in the LNM across different levels. CONCLUSIONS This study elucidated the patterns of primary LNM in patients with NSCLC who had not undergone surgery (without any treatment interventions) and the correlations between lymph node levels. These findings were expected to provide useful reference for target volume delineation in definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Numerical simulation of the complex evolution process for tumor invasion plays an extremely important role in-depth exploring the bio-taxis phenomena of tumor growth and metastasis. In view of the fact that low-accuracy numerical methods often have large errors and low resolution, very refined grids have to be used if we want to get high-resolution simulating results, which leads to a great deal of computational cost. In this paper, we are committed to developing a class of high-accuracy positivity-preserving finite difference methods to solve the chemotaxis model for tumor invasion. First, two unconditionally stable implicit compact difference schemes for solving the model are proposed; second, the local truncation errors of the new schemes are analyzed, which show that they have second-order accuracy in time and fourth-order accuracy in space; third, based on the proposed schemes, the high-accuracy numerical integration idea of binary functions is employed to structure a linear compact weighting formula that guarantees fourth-order accuracy and nonnegative, and then a positivity-preserving and time-marching algorithm is established; and finally, the accuracy, stability, and positivity-preserving of the proposed methods are verified by several numerical experiments, and the evolution phenomena of tumor invasion over time are numerically simulated and analyzed.

[PMID: 39111097 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2024.112531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of frailty decreases the overall survival of cancer patients. An accurate and operational diagnostic method is needed to help clinicians choose the most appropriate treatment to improve patient outcomes. METHODS Data were collected from 10 649 cancer patients who were prospectively enrolled in the Investigation on Nutritional Status and its Clinical Outcomes of Common Cancers (INSCOC) project in China from July 2013 to August 2022. The training cohort and validation cohort were randomly divided at a ratio of 7:3. The multivariable logistic regression analysis, multivariate Cox regression analyses, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method were used to develop the nomogram. The concordance index and calibration curve were used to assess the diagnostic utility of the nomogram model. RESULTS The 10 risk factors associated with frailty in cancer patients were age, AJCC stage, liver cancer, hemoglobin, radiotherapy, surgery, hand grip strength (HGS), calf circumference (CC), PG-SGA score and QOL from the QLQ-C30. The diagnostic nomogram model achieved a good C index of 0.847 (95% CI, 0.832-0.862, P < 0.001) in the training cohort and 0.853 (95% CI, 0.83-0.876, P < 0.001) in the validation cohort. The prediction nomogram showed 1-, 3-, and 5-year mortality C indices in the training cohort of 0.708 (95% CI, 0.686-0.731), 0.655 (95% CI, 0.627-0.683), and 0.623 (95% CI, 0.568-0.678). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year C indices in the validation cohort were similarly 0.743 (95% CI, 0.711-0.777), 0.680 (95% CI, 0.639-0.722), and 0.629 (95% CI, 0.558-0.700). In addition, the calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) were well-fitted for both the diagnostic model and prediction model. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram model provides an accurate method to diagnose frailty in cancer patients. Using this model could lead to the selection of more appropriate therapy and a better prognosis for cancer patients.

EClinicalMedicine 2024; 76:102840. [PMID: 39386159 PMCID: PMC11462015 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2024] [Revised: 08/28/2024] [Accepted: 09/04/2024] [Indexed: 10/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Preterm birth and its complications are leading causes of mortality among children under five years of age. Given the increasing burden of preterm birth on neonatal mortality and long-term health outcomes worldwide, a comprehensive global analysis is essential to guide effective public health interventions and policies. This study aims to assess the burden of preterm birth at the global, regional, and national levels. Methods Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database, this study analysed trends in age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) as primary outcomes for preterm birth from 1990 to 2021 at global, regional, and national levels. Data were assessed using joinpoint regression analysis, decomposition analysis, and the health inequality concentration index. Findings Globally, the incidence, mortality and DALYs due to preterm birth have shown a declining trend, but ASIR started to increase in 2016. Males were more commonly born preterm than females (12329075.82, 95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 12192632.55-12464605.4 vs. 9224694.94, 95% UI: 9113876.1-9330107.89). Changes in DALYs were primarily due to epidemiological change (111.97%) and population (-21.59%). Low Socio-demographic Index (SDI) regions increased in annual incidence cases (43.1%, 95% UI: 40.17-46.09), while high SDI regions decreased in annual incidence cases (-9.6%, 95% UI: -11.45 to -7.79). The highest annual mortality and DALYs respectively occurred in sub-Saharan Africa (295490.66, 95% UI: 241762.78-353624.41) and South Asia (32760273.93, 95% UI: 27295547.76-39070225.69). Western sub-Saharan Africa showed the largest increase in annual incidence (98.95%, 95% UI: 94.77 to 103.09), and Australasia had the lowest annual mortality (287.18, 95% UI: 244.26-339.42) and DALYs (61081.4, 95% UI: 50897.33-73069.96). Western sub-Saharan Africa also had the highest ASMR (21.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 17.9-25.89). The highest ASIR (543.78, 95% CI: 535.11-553.21) and age-standardized DALYs (2064.65, 95% CI: 1717.27-2473.36) both occurred in South Asia, while the lowest ASIR and age-standardized DALYs were seen in East Asia (147.31, 95% CI: 144.22-150.85) and High-income Asia Pacific (143.32, 95% CI: 117.9-167.25). India, Nigeria, and Pakistan ranked highest globally in terms of annual incidence cases, mortality, and DALYs, while the lowest annual incidence, mortality and DALYs respectively occurred in Tokelau (2.34, 95% UI: 2.12-2.56), San Marino (0.04, 95% UI: 0.02-0.07) and Tokelau (17.22, 95% UI: 11.11-24.95). Interpretation While the global burden of preterm birth has decreased, significant disparities persist, especially in low SDI regions. There is a need for more refined policies and preventive measures to effectively address preterm birth. Funding No funds, grants, or other support was received.

Comparison of efficacy and safety of PD-1/PD-L1 combination therapy in first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC: an updated systematic review and network meta-analysis. Clin Transl Oncol 2024; 26:2488-2502. [PMID: 38625495 DOI: 10.1007/s12094-024-03442-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors has led to an increase in randomized controlled trials exploring various first-line combination treatment regimens. With the introduction of new PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, there are now more clinical options available. For the first time, the AK105 monoclonal antibody Penpulimab, developed in China, was included. The AK105-302 Phase III trial studied the efficacy and safety of Penpulimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic squamous NSCLC. To determine the optimal treatment options, we conducted an updated network meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and safety of these regimens. METHODS The system retrieves data from Chinese and English electronic databases, Clinical Trials, and the gov Clinical Trial Registration website up to September 6, 2023. The study indirectly compared the efficacy and safety of PD-1/PD-L1 combination regimens, including overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), all-grade adverse events, and above-grade III adverse events. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) level, histological type, ECOG score, sex, and smoking history. RESULTS Nineteen RCTS were included, with a total of ten thousand eight hundred patients. Penpulimab plus chemotherapy (Pen + CT) provided the best OS (HR = 0.55, 95% CI 0.38-0.81) for PD-L1 patients with non-selective advanced NSCLC. Except Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab (Niv + Ipi), other PD-1/PD-L1 combination therapies significantly extended PFS compared with CT, and Nivolumab plus Bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy (Niv + Bev + CT) (HR = 0.43, 95% CI 0.26-0.74) provided the best PFS benefit and was comparable to Pen + CT (HR = 1.0) for PFS prolongation. For ORR, except Niv + Ipi, all the other regimens significantly improved ORR compared with CT. In terms of safety, except Tor + CT, the incidence of any-grade AEs or grade ≥ 3 adverse events may be higher than those of chemotherapy. The subgroup analysis revealed that for patients with PD-L1 levels below 1%, treatment with Tor + CT resulted in the best progression-free survival (HR = 0.47, 95% CI 0.25-0.86). For patients with PD-L1 levels of 1% or higher, Sintilimab plus chemotherapy (Sin + CT) (HR = 0.56, 95% CI 0.31-0.99) and Camrelizumab plus chemotherapy (Cam + CT) (HR = 0.43, 95% CI 0.28-0.64) were associated with the best overall survival and progression-free survival, respectively. For patients with SqNSCLC, combined immunotherapy may provide greater survival benefits. For patients with Non-sqNSCLC, Niv + Bev + CT and Tor + CT were associated with optimal PFS and OS, respectively. Cam + CT provided the best PFS in male patients with a history of smoking and an ECOG score of 0. In both female and non-smoking patient subgroups, Pem + CT was associated with the best PFS and OS benefits. CONCLUSION For patients with advanced non-selective PD-L1 NSCLC, two effective regimens are Pen + CT and Niv + Bev + CT, which rank first in OS and PFS among all patients. Cam + CT and Tor + CT have advantages for OS in patients with SqNSCLC and Non-sqNSCLC, respectively. Niv + Ipi + CT provided the best OS benefit for patients with an ECOG score of 0, while Pem + CT may be the most effective treatment for patients with an ECOG score of 1. Pem + CT has a better effect on female patients and non-smokers. Sin + CT was found to be the most effective treatment for male patients and the smoking subgroup, while Cam + CT was found to be the most effective for PFS. In addition, Tor + CT was associated with the best PFS for patients with negative PD-L1 expression. Pem + CT was found to significantly improve both PFS and OS compared to CT alone. For patients with positive PD-L1 expression, Sin + CT and Cam + CT were found to be optimal for OS and PFS, respectively. It is important to note that, with the exception of Tor + CT, the toxicity of the other combinations was higher than that of CT alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the perceptions of telehealth services among lung cancer patients in rural areas of China, as well as to explore the potential of telemedicine to improve long-term health recovery at home for rural lung cancer patients. METHODS A qualitative descriptive study design was used in this study and we conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 rural Chinese lung cancer patients between December 2022 and March 2023. Interview content was analyzed using Nvivo software and a framework analysis was performed using the Technology Acceptance Model to identify meaningful themes. RESULTS Participants identified perceptual and technical factors related to perceived ease of use, benefits and drawbacks related to perceived usefulness, and facilitators and barriers related to intention to use. However, regional and disease features including literacy barriers, medical insurance condition, symptom burden, and rural cultural health seeking behavior conduct must be taken into account. CONCLUSIONS Lung cancer patients in rural China believe that telehealth services could be an alternative solution for addressing health and care needs, but various aspects, such as user interface design, cost-effectiveness, and technological anxiety, need to be optimized. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE More highly specialized nursing team, friendly telecare lung function modules, and media technology training courses should be developed for rural lung cancer patients to enhance the quality of their home care, meet their information needs and better control their disease progression.

Reprod Sci 2024:10.1007/s43032-024-01695-5. [PMID: 39354287 DOI: 10.1007/s43032-024-01695-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 09/08/2024] [Indexed: 10/03/2024]
Abstract
The underlying cellular diversity and heterogeneity from cervix precancerous lesions to cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is investigated. Four single-cell datasets including normal tissues, normal adjacent tissues, precancerous lesions, and cervical tumors were integrated to perform disease stage analysis. Single-cell compositional data analysis (scCODA) was utilized to reveal the compositional changes of each cell type. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among cell types were annotated using BioCarta. An assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) analysis was performed to correlate epigenetic alterations with gene expression profiles. Lastly, a logistic regression model was used to assess the similarity between the original and new cohort data (HRA001742). After global annotation, seven distinct cell types were categorized. Eight consensus-upregulated DEGs were identified in B cells among different disease statuses, which could be utilized to predict the overall survival of CSCC patients. Inferred copy number variation (CNV) analysis of epithelial cells guided disease progression classification. Trajectory and ATAC-seq integration analysis identified 95 key transcription factors (TF) and one immunohistochemistry (IHC) testified key-node TF (YY1) involved in epithelial cells from CSCC initiation to progression. The consistency of epithelial cell subpopulation markers was revealed with single-cell sequencing, bulk sequencing, and RT-qPCR detection. KRT8 and KRT15, markers of Epi6, showed progressively higher expression with disease progression as revealed by IHC detection. The logistic regression model testified the robustness of the resemblance of clusters among the various datasets utilized in this study. Valuable insights into CSCC cellular diversity and heterogeneity provide a foundation for future targeted therapy.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the antitumor effect and mechanism of Salvia miltiorrhiza injection (SMI) on acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells in vitro and in vivo. Bioinformatics was used to detect c-Myc mRNA expression in AML patients in the Oncomine database. qRT‒PCR and western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of c-Myc and HOXA5 in clinical samples. Different concentrations (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 μg/mL) of SMI were added to KG1a and HL60 cells for 24, 48 and 72 h to determine the IC50 value of SMI. A CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effects of different concentrations of SMI and different treatment times on the proliferation of KG1a and HL60 cells. The indicated concentrations of SMI and SB203580 were used to treat KG1a and HL60 cells. The cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry. The percentage of apoptotic cells was detected by Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry. qRT‒PCR was performed to detect the mRNA expression of p38, c-Myc and HOXA5 in KG1a and HL60 cells. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of p38, p-p38, c-Myc, HOXA5, cCaspase 3 and cPARP in KG1a and HL60 cells. AutoDock software was used to analyze the molecular docking of the three main active components of SMI with c-Myc. AutoDock analysis revealed that the binding effect of molecular leisure was evaluated by binding energy, and a binding energy <-5 kcal/mol was considered good. SMI decreased the mRNA and protein expression of c-Myc and HOXA5. SMI significantly inhibited the proliferative activity of KG1a and HL60 cells and induced their apoptosis. However, SMI had no significant effect on the cell cycle distribution of KG1a and HL60 cells. With increasing SMI concentrations, the p-p38/p38 ratio increased, while the protein expression of c-Myc and HOXA5 decreased, and the protein expression of cCaspase and cPARP increased. However, SB203580 intervention in addition to SMI reversed these changes. Tanshinone IIA, cryptanshinone and salvianolic acid B can bind to multiple sites of c-Myc. In summary, SMI could be used for the treatment of acute leukemia, and its mechanism may be related to activation of the p38MAPK signaling pathway.

[PMID: 39313774 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000003268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is the most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and mortality of lung cancer worldwide in 2022 and to project the number of new cases and deaths due to lung cancer in China and the United States in 2050. METHODS In this study, data from the GLOBCAN 2022 database were used to analyze lung cancer incidence and mortality. The current status of lung cancer incidence and deaths was described by country/region, sex, age, and the human development index (HDI), and future lung cancer incidence and deaths in China and the United States were projected for 2050. RESULTS Globally, an estimated 2,480,675 new lung cancer cases and 1,817,469 lung cancer-related deaths occurred in 2022, with age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) of 23.6/100,000 and 16.8/100,000, respectively. In China, the ASIR and ASMR for male lung cancer patients were approximately 1.7 times and 2.7 times greater than those for female lung cancer patients, respectively. The ASIR and ASMR in high-HDI countries were approximately 8.5 times and 6.5 times those in low-HDI countries, respectively. It is estimated that in 2050, there will be approximately 1120 thousand new cases and 960 thousand deaths among Chinese men, 680 thousand new cases and 450 thousand deaths among Chinese women, approximately 170 thousand new cases and 110 thousand deaths among American men, and 160 thousand new cases and 90 thousand deaths among American women. CONCLUSIONS There are significant differences in the incidence and mortality of lung cancer among different regions and sexes. Therefore, sex factors need to be considered in the prevention, screening, and treatment strategies of lung cancer, and the implementation of tertiary prevention measures for lung cancer, especially primary and secondary prevention, needs to be actively promoted.

Curr Oncol 2024; 31:5643-5651. [PMID: 39330046 PMCID: PMC11431510 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol31090418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2024] [Revised: 09/15/2024] [Accepted: 09/19/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The incidence of prostate, breast, and thyroid cancers has increased in China over the past few decades. Whether and how much these increases can be attributed to overdiagnosis are less understood. This study aimed to estimate the proportion of overdiagnosis among these three cancers in China during 2004-2019. The age-specific cancer incidence, cancer mortality, and all-cause mortality in China were extracted from the Global Burden of Diseases 2019. The lifetime risk of developing and that of dying from each cancer were calculated using the life table method. The proportion of overdiagnosis of a cancer was estimated as the difference between the lifetime risk of developing the cancer and that of suffering from the cancer (including death, metastasis, and symptoms caused by the cancer), further divided by the lifetime risk of developing the cancer. The highest possible values of these parameters were adopted in the estimation so as to obtain the lower bounds of the proportions of overdiagnosis. Sensitivity analyses assuming different lag periods between the diagnosis of a cancer and death from the cancer were performed. The results showed that the lifetime risk of developing prostate, breast, and thyroid cancer increased dramatically from 2004 to 2019 in China, while the increase in the lifetime risk of dying from these cancers was less pronounced. The proportions of overdiagnosis among prostate, breast, and thyroid cancers were estimated to be 7.88%, 18.99%, and 24.92%, respectively, in 2004, and increased to 18.20%, 26.25%, and 29.24%, respectively, in 2019. The increasing trends were statistically significant for all three cancers (all p < 0.001). In sensitivity analyses, the proportions of overdiagnosis decreased, but upward trends over time remained for all three cancers. In conclusion, the overdiagnosis of prostate, breast, and thyroid cancers in China increased from 2004 to 2019, with the highest proportion seen in thyroid cancer and the most rapid increase seen in prostate cancer. Multifaceted efforts by policy makers, guideline developers, and clinicians are needed to tackle this problem.

Cuproptosis in microsatellite stable colon cancer cells affects the cytotoxicity of CD8 +T through the WNT signaling pathway. Chem Biol Interact 2024; 403:111239. [PMID: 39306268 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.111239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 08/29/2024] [Accepted: 09/09/2024] [Indexed: 09/29/2024]
Abstract
The microsatellite stable (MSS) colon cancer (CC) has long been considered resistant to immunotherapy. Cuproptosis, as a novel form of cell death, may interact with tumor immunity. This project focused on the impact of cuproptosis on the cytotoxicity of CD8+T in MSS CC, aiming to provide effective clues for improving the treatment strategy of MSS CC. The study developed an MSS CC cuproptosis model using 50 nM elesclomol and 1 μM CuCl2. Cuproptotic SW480 cells were directly co-cultured with CD8+ T cells. Cuproptosis levels were assessed via intracellular copper ion detection, Western blot, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. CCK-8, Hochest/PI staining, CFSE cell proliferation assay, LDH cytotoxicity detection, and ELISA were used to evaluate CD8+ T cell immune activity and cytotoxicity. Transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis identified regulated signals in cuproptotic SW480 cells. A rescue experiment utilized a WNT pathway activator (BML-284). PD-L1 expression in cells/membranes was analyzed using qRT-PCR, Western blot, and flow cytometry. NSG mice were immunoreconstituted, and the effects of cuproptosis on immune infiltration and cancer progression in MSS CC mice were assessed using ELISA and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Treatment with 50 nM elesclomol and 1 μM CuCl2 significantly increased cuproptosis in SW480 cells. Co-culture with CD8+ T cells enhanced their cytotoxicity. Sequencing revealed cuproptosis-mediated modulation of immune and inflammatory pathways, including WNT signaling. Rescue experiments showed downregulation of WNT signaling in cuproptotic SW480 cells. Indirectly, CD8+ T cell immune function was enhanced by reducing PD-L1 expression. In mice, cuproptosis resulted in increased infiltration of CD8+ T cells in tumor tissue, leading to delayed cancer progression compared to the control group. Cuproptosis in MSS CC cells enhances the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells, which may be achieved through downregulation of the WNT signaling pathway and decreased expression of PD-L1. In the future, drugs that can induce cuproptosis may be a promising approach to improve MSS CC immunotherapy.

JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2024:2823475. [PMID: 39298152 PMCID: PMC11413754 DOI: 10.1001/jamaoto.2024.2718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 09/25/2024]
Abstract
Importance Internationally, active surveillance has been shown to be beneficial and safe in the management of low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas. However, choosing active surveillance is a difficult treatment decision for patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas. Objective To identify and analyze the antecedents and mediating processes of decisional conflicts when patients consider active surveillance as an alternative to surgery. Design, Setting, and Participants In this qualitative study, semistructured interviews were conducted between April 2023 and December 2023 at 3 tertiary hospitals in China. Thirty-one participants who were diagnosed with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas, who had experienced considering active surveillance as an alternative to surgery and who scored above 25 on the decision conflict scale were purposively recruited. Inductive content analysis led to emergent themes. Data analysis was performed from April 2023 to February 2024. Methods used to protect the trustworthiness of the study results included audit trails and member checks. Main outcomes and Measures Patients' experience of decisional conflicts and the antecedents and mediating processes relating to these decisional conflicts. Results Among 31 participants (median [range] age, 39.2 [22-63] years; 22 [71%] were female and 9 [29%] were male), 3 themes were classified: (1) decisional conflicts in decision preparation, (2) decisional conflicts in decision-making, and (3) decisional conflicts in decision implementation. The patient's experiences of decisional conflicts were diverse and occurred throughout the entire decision-making process. The antecedents of the decisional conflicts included personal influencing factors, system-level influencing factors, and the relational-situational context. Patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas interacted with these antecedents in the process of decision-making and eventually failed to mediate, leading to decisional conflicts. Conclusions and relevance This qualitative study found that patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas experienced clinically significant decisional conflicts and experienced considerable challenges and psychological problems in decision-making. The antecedents of decisional conflicts and accompanying mediating processes can provide guidance for individuals, health care professionals, and health care systems to provide decision support for patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinomas.

Downregulation of the m 6A reader YTHDC2 upregulates exosome content in lung adenocarcinoma via inhibiting IFIT and OAS family members. J Biol Chem 2024; 300:107783. [PMID: 39303913 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 08/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024] Open
Abstract
N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent mRNA modification. Its biological function primarily relies on its "Reader" protein, such as YTHDC2. Previous studies have shown that YTHDC2 downregulation is a procarcinogenic phenomenon in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, further investigation is needed to understand the molecular mechanisms of downstream genes and the associated biological phenomena following YTHDC2 downregulation. Here, we found that YTHDC2 knockout upregulated exosome content in LUAD. Following YTHDC2 knockout, the mRNA levels of OAS family members (OASs) and IFIT family members (IFITs) also decreased; and inhibition of OASs and IFITs could promote exosome content. Several m6A modification sites on the NT domain of OASs and the TPR12 domain of IFITs were found to increase the stability of OASs and IFITs in a YTHDC2-dependent manner. OASs and IFITs affected exosome content through target genes including RAB5A, RAB7, and RAB11A, and three arginine (R) amino acids on IFITs were critical for combination IFITs with targeted RAB mRNAs and subsequent degradation. Simultaneously, OASs degraded targeted RABs through RNAseL. Additionally, mutual bindings between OASs and IFITs were critical for their target gene degradation. Collectively, the above findings might provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of LUAD patients with low YTHDC2 expression.

Abstract
Iron metabolism disorder has been identified as a contributor to the pathogenesis and progression of multiple cognitive dysfunction-related diseases, including postoperative delirium. However, the association between preoperative iron reserves and postoperative delirium risk remains elusive. This retrospective cohort study aimed to explore the impact of preoperative serum ferritin levels on the risk of postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing non-neurosurgical and non-cardiac procedures. Conducted at the Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2014 and December 2021, the study finally included 12,841 patients aged 65 years and above. Preoperative serum ferritin levels were assessed within 30 days before surgery, and postoperative delirium occurrence within the first seven days after surgery was determined through medical chart review. The analyses revealed that both low and high levels of serum ferritin were associated with an increased risk of postoperative delirium. Patients in the lowest quintile of serum ferritin exhibited an 81% increased risk, while those in the highest quintile faced a 91% increased risk compared to those in the second quintile. Furthermore, mediation analyses indicated that the direct effect of preoperative serum ferritin on postoperative delirium contradicted its indirect effect mediated by hemoglobin levels. These findings suggest that maintaining serum ferritin within moderate range preoperatively could be beneficial for managing postoperative delirium risk among elderly patients.

[PMID: 38781433 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.35377] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 04/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective systemic therapy remains limited for advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), particularly after prior failed treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Theoretically, a combination of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) with ICIs may restore immunotherapy sensitivity. METHODS In this phase 1b study, patients received AL2846, an antiangiogenic TKI with multiple targets (c-MET, VEGFR1, c-KIT, Axl, RET, KDR, and VEGFR3), in combination with an anti-PD-L1 antibody (TQB2450) until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, or discontinuation for any cause. The primary end points included overall response rate (ORR) and safety, with secondary end points encompassing progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), and duration of response. RESULTS Between November 2021 and September 2022, 18 patients with ESCC and 15 patients with HCC, whose ORR was 11.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.1%-32.8%) and 0%, respectively, were enrolled. Adverse events (AEs) of any grade and treatment-related AEs were documented in 32 patients (97.0%) and 31 patients (93.9%), respectively. Grade 3 or higher AEs were observed in 10 patients (30.3%), with vomiting (6.1%) and infectious pneumonia (9.1%) being the most prevalent. Median PFS and OS values were 3.22 months (95% CI, 1.35-5.68 months) and 5.98 months (95% CI, 3.71-8.87 months), respectively, in patients with ESCC, and 5.55 months (95% CI, 2.66 months to not evaluable [NE]) and 16.72 months (95% CI, 4.86 months to NE), respectively, in patients with HCC. The DCRs were 66.7% (95% CI, 43.75%-83.72%) in patients with ESCC and 73.3% (95% CI, 48.05%-89.10%) in patients with HCC. CONCLUSIONS Combined TQB2450 and AL2846 therapy exhibited a favorable safety profile in immunotherapy-refractory patients with advanced ESCC and HCC.

World J Gastrointest Oncol 2024; 16:3955-3979. [PMID: 39350983 PMCID: PMC11438773 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v16.i9.3955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 09/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although gastrointestinal (GI) cancers have been becoming a great public health concern in China, there is currently a lack of comprehensive literature on the overall burden and changing trends of GI cancers in the working-age population. AIM To assess the burden of GI cancers and to examine the overall, age- and gender-specific trends among the working-age population in China from 1990 to 2019. METHODS Data were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. The burden of GI cancers was indicated by incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized mortality rate, and age-standardized DALYs rate. Trends in the burden of GI cancers from 1990 to 2019 were examined using annual percent change and average annual percent change with Joinpoint regression models. RESULTS For overall GI cancers, a declining trend was observed in the ASIR, age-standardized mortality rate, and age-standardized DALYs rate, with reductions of 0.74%, 2.23%, and 2.22%, respectively, from 1999 to 2019 in the Chinese working-age population. However, an increasing trend was observed in the ASIR for overall GI cancers from 2016-2019. The number of either incident cases, mortality cases, and DALYs was higher for colon/rectum cancer and liver cancer in younger participants but lower for esophageal, gallbladder, biliary tract, pancreatic, and stomach cancer among older subjects. Moreover, sex disparity in the GI cancers burden was also examined over 30 years. CONCLUSION The total burden of GI cancers remained heavy among the working-age population in China, although declining trends were observed from 1999 to 2019. Disparities in the GI cancers burden existed between sexes, age groups, and cancer types. Population-based precision prevention strategies are needed to tackle GI cancers among working-age individuals, considering the age, sex, and cancer type disparities in China.

Abstract
This review comments on the article "To explore the mechanism of Yigong San anti-gastric cancer and immune regulation". We are interested that the article applied network pharmacology and bioinformatics techniques to elucidate the mechanism of action of Yigong Sang, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC). The mechanism of action of Yigong Sang in the treatment of GC has not yet been elucidated because it is composed of multiple Chinese medicines with multiple components and multiple targets. The emergence of network pharmacology and bioinformatics analysis helps explain the mechanism of action of TCM in preventing and treating GC, and provides a possibility for TCM to transform from empirical to evidence-based medicine. This is of great significance for the application of TCM in oncology, new drug development, formula optimization, and the improvement of clinical efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic arterial infusionchemotherapy (HAIC) is a promising option for large unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Identifying patients who could benefit from continuous HAIC remains a challenge. We aimed to establish an objective model to guide the decision for retreatment with HAIC. METHODS Between 2015 and 2020, the data of patients with large unresectable HCC without macrovascular invasion or extrahepatic spread undergoing multiple HAIC cycles from 3 different centers were retrieved. We investigated the basic tumor parameters and the effect of HAIC on liver function and tumor response, and their impact on overall survival (OS). A point score (ARH, Assessment for Retreatment with HAIC) was built by using a stepwise Cox regression model in the training cohort (n = 112) and was validated in an independent validation cohort (n = 71). RESULTS The high α-fetoprotein before the second cycle of HAIC, an increase in Child-Pugh score, and undesirable radiologic tumor responses remained independent negative prognostic factors and were used to create the ARH score. The prognosis of HCC patients deteriorated significantly with the increase in ARH score. The median OS of patients with ARH score 0-2 points and ≥ 2.5 points were 19.37 months and 11.60 months (P < 0.001). All of these results had been confirmed in the external validation cohort and demonstrated significance across multiple subgroups. CONCLUSIONS The ARH score makes an excellent prediction of the prognosis of HCC patients who received retreatment of HAIC. Patients with an ARH score ≥ 2.5 prior to the second cycle of HAIC may not profit from further sessions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite the increasing research on cancer patient caregivers, there is still a lack of detailed understanding about the experiences of spouses caring for elderly colorectal cancer patients. This study aimed to fill this gap by examining the caregiving experiences of spouses during palliative chemotherapy for elderly Chinese colorectal cancer patients. METHODS Using a qualitative descriptive design, we recruited spousal caregivers of elderly colorectal cancer patients undergoing palliative chemotherapy. Semistructured interviews were conducted, and thematic analysis was employed to analyse the data. RESULTS Sixteen caregivers aged 60 to 82 years participated in the interviews. The analysis revealed three main themes: ambivalence, multiple role adaptation to conflicts, and the coexistence of hope and pressure. These themes shed light on the behaviors of older caregivers and the challenges they face, including physical and psychosocial issues associated with aging. CONCLUSION This study highlights the significant stress and challenges experienced by older caregivers, characterized by intertwined emotions such as anxiety about their spouses' health deterioration, exhaustion from long-term care responsibilities, and anticipation of treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most serious diseases that threaten human life and health. Among all kinds of diseases, the mortality rate of malignant tumors is the second highest, second only to cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Cancer treatment typically involves imaging, surgery, and pathological analysis. When patients are identified as carcinoma by the above means, there are often problems of distant metastasis, delayed treatment, and drug tolerance, indicating that patients have some poor prognosis and overall survival. Hence, the development of novel molecular biomarkers is of great clinical importance. In recent years, as an important mediator of material and information exchange between cells in the tumor microenvironment, lncRNA have attracted widespread attention for their roles in tumor development. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the up-to-date knowledge of lncARSR on diverse cancer types which mainly focuses on tumor proliferation, drug tolerance, and lipid and cholesterol metabolism, highlighting the potential of lncARSR as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker and even a therapeutic target. In our final analysis, we provide a synthesized overview of the directions for future inquiry into lncARSR, and we are eager to witness the advancement of research that will elucidate the multifaceted nature of this lncRNA.

Abstract
Cigarette smoking causes multiple cancers by directly influencing mutation burden of driver mutations. However, the mechanism between somatic mutation caused by cigarette smoking and bladder tumorigenesis remains elusive. Smoking-related mutation profile of bladder cancer was characterized by The Cancer Genome Atlas cohort. Integraticve OncoGenomics database was utilized to detect the smoking-related driver genes, and its biological mechanism predictions were interpreted based on bulk transcriptome and single-cell transcriptome, as well as cell experiments. Cigarette smoking was associated with an increased tumor mutational burden under 65 years old (p = 0.031), and generated specific mutational signatures in smokers. RB1 was identified as a differentially mutated driver gene between smokers and nonsmokers, and the mutation rate of RB1 increased twofold after smoking (p = 0.008). RB1 mutations and the 4-aminobiphenyl interference could significantly decrease the RB1 expression level and thus promote the proliferation, invasion, and migration ability of bladder cancer cells. Enrichment analysis and real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) data showed that RB1 mutations inhibited cytochrome P450 pathway by reducing expression levels of UGT1A6 and AKR1C2. In addition, we also observed that the component of immunological cells was regulated by RB1 mutations through the stronger cell-to-cell interactions between epithelial scissor+ cells and immune cells in smokers. This study highlighted that RB1 mutations could drive smoking-related bladder tumorigenesis through inhibiting cytochrome P450 pathway and regulating tumor immune microenvironment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The spatiotemporal epidemiological evidence supporting joint endoscopic screening for esophageal cancer (EC) and gastric cancer (GC) remains limited. This study aims to identify combined high-risk regions for EC and GC and determine optimal areas for joint and separate endoscopic screening. METHODS We analyzed the association of incidence trends between EC and GC in cancer registry areas across China from 2006 to 2016 using spatiotemporal statistical methods. Based on these analyses, we divided different combined risk regions for EC and GC to implement joint endoscopic screening. RESULTS From 2006 to 2016, national incidence trends for both EC and GC showed a decline, with an average annual percentage change of -3.15 (95% confidence interval [CI]: -5.33 to -0.92) for EC and -3.78 (95% CI: -4.98 to -2.56) for GC. A grey comprehensive correlation analysis revealed a strong temporal association between the incidence trends of EC and GC, with correlations of 79.00% (95% CI: 77.85 to 80.14) in males and 77.62% (95% CI: 76.50 to 78.73) in females. Geographic patterns of EC and GC varied, demonstrating both homogeneity and heterogeneity across different regions. The cancer registry areas were classified into seven distinct combined risk regions, with 33 areas identified as high-risk for both EC and GC, highlighting these regions as priorities for joint endoscopic screening. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates a significant spatiotemporal association between EC and GC. The identified combined risk regions provide a valuable basis for optimizing joint endoscopic screening strategies for these cancers.

BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence has highlighted that lncRNA ABHD11-AS1 plays an essential role in tumorigenesis and is expected to become a new predictive biomarker and ideal target for cancer therapy, whereas some of their findings are conflicting due to the relatively small sample size of individual studies. Thus, this meta-analysis aimed to quantitatively ascertain the association of ABHD11-AS1 with diverse human malignancies. METHODS Eight databases were comprehensively screened for relevant articles on January 1, 2024. The significance of ABHD11-AS1 in malignancies was determined by odds ratios (ORs) or hazard ratios (HRs) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were applied to verify the reliability and robustness of the pooled results. Simultaneously, the GEPIA2021 and UCSC Xena databases were applied to further strengthen the results. RESULTS Fourteen clinical studies comprising eight kinds of malignancies and 1215 malignancy cases were enrolled into this meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that increased ABHD11-AS1 expression was remarkably associated with lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.73, 95%CI [1.97, 3.77], I2 = 0%, p < 0.00001), advanced tumor stage ( OR = 3.14, 95%CI [2.34, 4.21], I2 = 39%, p < 0.00001), and unfavorable overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.81, 95%CI [1.58, 2.06], I2 = 0%, p < 0.00001). Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses indicated that the pooled results were reliable and robust. Additionally, ABHD11-AS1 was significantly increased in eight kinds of malignancies according to the validation of the GEPIA2021 database. Meanwhile, the UCSC Xena databases further revealed that elevated ABHD11-AS1 expression was significantly associated with poor prognosis as assessed by progression free interval (PFI), disease free interval (DFI), disease specific survival (DSS), and OS. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence supports the association of elevated ABHD11-AS1 expression with poor prognosis. Thereby, ABHD11-AS1 may be considered as a promising biomarker to screen cancer and predict malignancy prognosis. Also, there is a necessity for larger-scale multicenter studies with uniform study protocols from different countries to further validate the conclusions.

Enhanced Recovery Protocol Versus Conventional Care in Patients Undergoing Esophagectomy for Cancer: Advantages in Clinical and Patient-Reported Outcomes. Ann Surg Oncol 2024; 31:5706-5716. [PMID: 38833056 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-024-15509-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was designed to compare the clinical and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol and conventional care in patients undergoing esophagectomy for cancer, which have not previously been compared. METHODS This single-center retrospective study included prospective PRO data from August 2019 to June 2021. Clinical outcomes included perioperative complications and postoperative length of stay (PLOS). Patient-reported outcomes were assessed by using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (QLQ-C30) and esophagus-specific module (QLQ-OES18) preoperatively to 6 months postoperatively. Mixed-effects models were used to longitudinally compare quality of life (QOL) scores between the two modes. RESULTS Patients undergoing conventional care and ERAS were analyzed (n = 348 and 109, respectively). The ERAS group had fewer overall complications, pneumonia, arrhythmia, and a shorter PLOS than the conventional group, and outperformed the conventional group in five functional QLQ-C30 domains and five symptom QLQ-OES18 domains, including less dysphagia (p < 0.0001), trouble talking (p = 0.0006), and better eating (p < 0.0001). These advantages persisted for 3 months postoperatively. For the cervical circular stapled anastomosis, the initial domains and duration of benefit were reduced in the ERAS group. CONCLUSIONS The ERAS protocol has significant advantages over conventional care in terms of clinical outcomes, lowering postoperative symptom burden, and improving functional QOL in patients who have undergone esophagectomy. Selection of the optimal technique for cervical anastomosis is a key operative component of ERAS that maintains the symptom domains and duration of the advantages of PROs.

JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL CANCER CENTER 2024; 4:214-222. [PMID: 39281715 PMCID: PMC11401487 DOI: 10.1016/j.jncc.2024.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To provide the most up-to-date data on the burden of malignant mesothelioma (MM) and the projections through 2029 in China. Methods Data on patients diagnosed with MM from China during 1990-2019 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 database, including annual cases and deaths data and age-standardized rates of incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) associated with MM among different age groups. Temporal trends during 1990-2019 were analyzed by the Joinpoint regression models using 95% confidence interval (CI), while the projections through 2029 were calculated by the Bayesian age-period-cohort model. Data on the production and consumption of asbestos in China were obtained from the United States Geological Survey on Mineral Commodity Summaries during 1996-2023. Results We observed a significant elevation in incident new cases and deaths over the last 3 decades, increasing from 1193 in 1990 to 2815 in 2019 for incident cases and from 1134 in 1990 to 2773 in 2019 for death cases. We found a roughly 6% increase in the proportion of incident cases for those aged >70 years (30% in 2019 versus 24% in 1990), while for the proportion of deaths similar elevation for those aged >70 years was found. Additionally, men had significantly higher DALYs due to MM across age groups compared with women. Asbestos consumption in China dramatically dropped since 2012 and reached the bottom in 2017 with 230 kilotons. By 2029, the projected age-standardized rate for incidence and mortality is expected to reach 1.2 per million for both. Conclusion We found, for the first time using GBD data on the Chinese population, that the burden of MM has been significantly increasing in China over the last three decades and will continue to increase in the upcoming decade, suggesting an urgent need for a complete ban on chrysotile asbestos in China.

Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 259:116388. [PMID: 38761744 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) is a tight junction protein often overexpressed in various solid tumors, including gastrointestinal and esophageal cancers, serving as a promising target and potential biomarker for tumor diagnosis, treatment assessment, and prognosis. Despite its significance, no biosensor has been reported to date for the detection of CLDN18.2. Here, we present the inaugural immunosensor for CLDN18.2. In this study, an amine-rich conducting polymer of polymelamine (PM) was electrografted onto different carbon nanomaterial-based screen-printed electrodes (SPEs), including carbon (C), graphene (Gr), graphene oxide (GO), carbon nanotube (CNT), and carbon nanofiber (CNF) via cyclic voltammetry. A comparative study was performed to explore the best material for the preparation of the PM-modified electrodes to be used as in-situ redox substrate for the immunosensor fabrication. The surface chemistry and structural features of pristine and PM-deposited electrodes were analyzed using Raman and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Our results showed that the PM deposited on Gr and CNT/SPEs exhibited the most significant and stable redox behavior in PBS buffer. The terminal amine moieties on the PM-modified electrode surfaces were utilized for immobilizing anti-CLDN18.2 monoclonal antibodies via N-ethyl-N'-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide chemistry to construct the electrochemical immunosensor platform. Differential pulse voltammetry-based immunosensing of CLDN18.2 protein on BSA/anti-CLDN18.2/PM-Gr/SPE and BSA/anti-CLDN18.2/PM-CNT/SPE exhibited excellent selectivity against other proteins such as CD1, PDCD1, and ErBb2. The limits of detection of these two immunosensor platforms were calculated to be 7.9 pg/mL and 0.104 ng/mL for the CNT and Gr immunosensors, respectively. This study demonstrated that the PM-modified Gr and CNT electrodes offer promising platforms not only for the reagentless signaling but also for covalent immobilization of biomolecules. Moreover, these platforms offer excellent sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of CLDN18.2 due to its enhanced stable redox activity. The immunosensor demonstrated promising results for the sensitive detection of CLDN18.2 in biological samples, addressing the critical need for early gastric cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent tumors in China and other countries, with high morbidity and mortality. Fear of cancer recurrence is common among cancer survivors. Fear of cancer recurrence experiences and psychological interventions have been investigated in breast and other cancers. However, this phenomenon and associated factors have not been evaluated in early gastric cancer survivors in China. The objective of this study was to investigate the nature of fear of cancer recurrence and influencing factors in Chinese patients with early gastric cancer treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection. This cross-sectional study in two centers included 312 early gastric cancer patients who answered self-report questionnaires and were treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection between June 2022 and May 2023 to assess fear of cancer recurrence. Gender, family history of gastrointestinal tumor, tumor recurrence, Helicobacter pylori infection, disease perception, and self-perceived burden were significant factors influencing fear of cancer recurrence (p < .05). More than half of early gastric cancer patients have fear of cancer recurrence, and how to deal with it has become a key issue in the postoperative care of patients. Medical professionals should address these factors to reduce fear of cancer recurrence in at-risk patients.

Abstract
The characteristics of early-onset (onset age <50 years) and later-onset (onset age ≽ 50 years) cancers differ significantly. Identifying novel risk factors for both types of cancer is crucial for increasing awareness of cancer prevention and for reducing its burden. This study aimed to analyze the trends in incidence and risk factors for early-onset and late-onset cancers. We conducted a prospective study by drawing data from the Kailuan Study. This study included 6,741 participants with cancer (624 with early-onset cancer and 6,117 with later-onset cancer) and 6,780 matched controls among the 186,249 participants who underwent Kailuan health examinations from 2006 to 2019. The primary outcomes were cancer incidence rates, and associated risk factors for early- and later-onset cancer. Weighted Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals of each exposure factor for early- and later-onset cancer by cancer type. Population-attributable risk proportions were used to estimate the number of cases that could be prevented by eliminating a risk factor from the population. Except for liver cancer, incidence rates for nearly all types of cancer increased during the study period. Smoking, alcohol consumption, lipid metabolism disorders, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, fatty liver, and inflammation were associated with a significantly increased risk of cancer at multiple sites, but risk factors for cancer incidence differed by site. Smoking, alcohol consumption, inflammation, and hypertension were the major contributors to preventable cancer. The incidence of several different types of cancer, including early-onset cancer, is increasing in northeastern China. Differences in risk factors between early-onset and later-onset malignancies may contribute to the divergence in the observed changes in incidence trends between these two specific types of cancer.

Chin Med 2024; 19:117. [PMID: 39210410 PMCID: PMC11360867 DOI: 10.1186/s13020-024-00978-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Danggui Buxue (DGBX) decoction is a classical prescription composed of Astragali Radix (AR) and Angelicae Sinensis Radix (ASR), used to enrich blood, and nourish Qi in Chinese medicine, with the potential to recover energy and stimulate metabolism. Chronic inflammation is a risk factor in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related colorectal cancer (CRC). More importantly, AR and ASR have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities, as well as prefiguring a potential effect on inflammation-cancer transformation. We, therefore, aimed to review the immunometabolism potential of DGBX decoction and its components in this malignant transformation, to provide a helpful complement to manage the risk of IBD-CRC. The present study investigates the multifaceted roles of DGBX decoction and its entire components AR and ASR, including anti-inflammation effects, anti-cancer properties, immune regulation, and metabolic regulation. This assessment is informed by a synthesis of scholarly literature, with more than two hundred articles retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases within the past two decades. The search strategy employed utilized keywords such as "Danggui Buxue", "Astragali Radix", "Angelicae Sinensis Radix", "Inflammation", and "Metabolism", alongside the related synonyms, with a particular emphasis on high-quality research and studies yielding significant findings. The potential of DGBX decoction in modulating immunometabolism holds promise for the treatment of IBD-related CRC. It is particularly relevant given the heterogeneity of CRC and the growing trend towards personalized medicine, but the precise and detailed mechanism necessitate further in vivo validation and extensive clinical studies to substantiate the immunometabolic modulation and delineate the pathways involved.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a novel co-administration of curcumin and sorafenib using a Self micro-emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SMEDDS) called Sorafenib-Curcumin Self micro-emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SOR-CUR-SMEDDS). The formulation was optimized using star point design-response surface methodology, and in vitro cellular experiments were conducted to evaluate the delivery ratio and anti-tumor efficacy of the curcumin and sorafenib combination. The SOR-CUR-SMEDDS exhibited a small size distribution of 13.48 ± 0.61 nm, low polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.228 ± 0.05, and negative zeta potential (ZP) of - 12.4 mV. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the SOR-CUR-SMEDDS was 3-fold lower for curcumin and 5-fold lower for sorafenib against HepG2 cells (human hepatocellular carcinoma cells). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and particle size detection confirmed that the SOR-CUR-SMEDDS droplets were uniformly round and within the nano-emulsion particle size range of 10-20 nm. The SMEDDS were characterized then studied for drug release in vitro via dialysis membranes. Curcumin was released more completely in the combined delivery system, showing the largest in vitro drug release (79.20%) within 7 days in the medium, while the cumulative release rate of sorafenib in the release medium was low, reaching 58.96% on the 7 day. In vitro pharmacokinetic study, it demonstrated a significant increase in oral bioavailability of sorafenib (1239.88-fold) and curcumin (3.64-fold) when administered in the SMEDDS. These findings suggest that the SMEDDS formulation can greatly enhance drug solubility, improve drug absorption and prolong circulation in vivo, leading to increased oral bioavailability of sorafenib and curcumin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancers in female organs remain a substantial burden in China and worldwide. GLOBOCAN 2022 has recently updated the estimates of cancer burden. This study aims to depict the profiles of disease burden and to compare the age-specific rates of cancers in female organs in China with those in other countries. METHODS The latest estimates of incidence and mortality of cancers in female organs from various regions and countries were extracted from the GLOBOCAN 2022 database. We compared the proportion of total cases or deaths for cancers affecting six female organs and other tumor types in China and globally. Correlation analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) or age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and the Human Development Index (HDI). Additionally, age-specific rate curves were plotted for ten exemplary countries with different income levels. RESULTS Globally, there are varying burdens of female organ cancers, with higher incidence rates in Northern America and elevated rates of cervical cancer in Africa. Female organ cancers in China remain a significant burden due to their large proportion of the six tumors. A positive correlation between socioeconomic development and the incidence of breast, uterine corpus, ovarian, and vulvar cancers was noted, whereas a negative association between the HDI tiers and mortality rates was found for cervical and vaginal cancers. In 2022, Chinese women aged 50-54 years are experiencing high incidence rates of breast, cervix uteri, corpus uteri, and ovarian cancers. CONCLUSIONS Cancers in female organs continue to be a significant health concern for women in China and worldwide. It is crucial to implement comprehensive prevention strategies tailored to address the increasing trend among younger individuals and reduce regional disparities.

Abstract
Molecular targeted therapy resistance remains a major challenge in treating lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The resistance of Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs, epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor) plays a dominant role in molecular targeted therapy. Our previous research demonstrated the role of MALAT-1 (Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1) in the formation of Erlotinib-resistant LUAD cells. This study aims to uncover the mechanism of MALAT-1 overexpression in Erlotinib-resistant LUAD cells. The RT2 LncRNA PCR array system was used to explore MALAT-1 regulation in Erlotinib-resistant LUAD cells through patient serum analysis. Dual luciferase reporter experiments confirmed the binding between MALAT-1 and miR-125, leading to regulation of miR-125 expression. Functional assays were performed to elucidate the impact of MALAT1 on modulating drug resistance, growth, and Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT, Epithelial-mesenchymal transition) in both parental and Erlotinib-resistant LUAD cells. The investigation unveiled the mechanism underlying the competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA, competing endogenouse RNA) pathway. MALAT1 exerted its regulatory effect on miR-125 as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA). Moreover, MALAT1 played a role in modulating the sensitivity of LUAD cells to Erlotinib. Rab25 was identified as the direct target of miR-125 and mediated the functional effects of MALAT1 in Erlotinib-resistant LUAD cells. In conclusion, our study reveals overexpress MALAT-1 cause the drug resistance of EGFR-TKIs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through the MALAT-1/miR-125/Rab25 axis. These findings present a potential novel therapeutic target and perspective for the treatment of LUAD.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most prevalent cancer globally and stands as the second principal contributor to cancer-related fatalities. Recently, emerging research has emphasized the role of pan apoptosis (PANoptosis) in tumor development and anti-tumor therapy. In the course of this investigation, we meticulously identified and conducted a correlation analysis between differentially expressed genes associated with PANoptosis in CRC (CPAN_DEGs) and the proportion of immune cells. Subsequently, we formulated a prognostic score based on the CPAN_DEGs. Further our analysis revealed a noteworthy reduction in UNC5D mRNA expression within HCT116, HT29 and SW480 cells, as validated by qRT-PCR assay. Furthermore, scrutinizing the TCGA database unveiled a distinctive trend wherein individuals with the low UNC5D expression exhibited significantly reduced overall survival compared to their counterparts with the high UNC5D levels. The drug susceptibility analysis of UNC5D was further performed, which showed that UNC5D was corassociated with the sensitivity of CRC to 6-Thioguanine. The outcomes of our investigation underscore the mechanisms by which PANoptosis influences immune dysregulation as well as prognostic outcome in CRC.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant targeted therapy combining targeted agents with chemotherapy significantly improve survival rates of patients suffering from human epidermal receptor (HER2)-positive breast cancer (BC) in early or locally advanced stages. However, approximately 50% of patients fail to achieve a pathological complete response. In response, targeted photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) have emerged as effective strategies to bolster primary tumors treatment. In this context, we developed a novel nanodrug, referred to as "P/ICG", which comprised of a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor pyrotinib and the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG). This formulation was created for the targeted and multimodal synergistic therapy of HER2-positive BC. Upon irradiation with near-infrared light, ICG generates high levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species and elevated temperature, enhancing chemotherapy effects of pyrotinib. This synergistic action boosts a highly effective anticancer effect promoting the ferroptosis pathway, providing an efficient therapeutic strategy for treating HER2-positive BC.

Abstract
Objectives Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted therapies have demonstrated potential benefits for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients with HER2 amplification, but are not satisfactory in cases of HER2 mutant CRCs. Methods Consequently, further elucidation of amplifications and somatic mutations in erythroblastic oncogene B-2 (ERBB2) is imperative. Comprehensive genomic profiling was conducted on 2454 Chinese CRC cases to evaluate genomic alterations in 733 cancer-related genes, tumor mutational burden, microsatellite instability, and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Results Among 2454 CRC patients, 85 cases (3.46%) exhibited ERBB2 amplification, and 55 cases (2.24%) carried ERBB2 mutation. p.R678Q (28%), p.V8421 (24%), and p.S310F/Y (12%) were the most prevalent of the 16 detected mutation sites. In comparison to the ERBB2 altered (alt) group, KRAS/BRAF mutations were more prevalent in ERBB2 wild-type (wt) samples (ERBB2wt vs. ERBB2alt, KRAS: 50.9% vs. 25.6%, p < 0.05; BRAF: 8.5% vs. 2.3%, p < 0.05). 32.7% (18/55) of CRCs with ERBB2 mutation exhibited microsatellite instability high (MSI-H), while no cases with HER2 amplification displayed MSI-H. Mutant genes varied between ERBB2 copy number variation (CNV) and ERBB2 single nucleotide variant (SNV); TP53 alterations tended to co-occur with ERBB2 amplification (92.3%) as opposed to ERBB2 mutation (58.3%). KRAS and PIK3CA alterations were more prevalent in ERBB2 SNV cases (KRAS/PIK3CA: 45.8%/31.2%) compared to ERBB2 amplification cases (KRAS/PIK3CA: 14.1%/7.7%). Conclusion Our study delineates the landscape of HER2 alterations in a large-scale cohort of CRC patients from China. These findings enhance our understanding of the molecular features of Chinese CRC patients and offer valuable implications for further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychosocial adjustment (PSA) in patients exhibits a positive correlation with dyadic coping (DC) and a negative correlation with fear of disease progression (FoP). However, few studies have explored how DC impacts PSA and whether FoP mediates this relationship. OBJECTIVE To investigate the status of DC, FoP, and PSA in patients with malignancy and their caregivers and to explore the actor-partner and mediating effect of FoP on the association between PSA and DC. METHODS This study employed a cross-sectional design with convenience sampling to select patients with malignancy and their caregivers from 2 hospitals in China. SPSS and AMOS were used for data analysis. RESULTS The model showed the mediation effect accounts for 28.30% of the total effect. For the actor effects, patients' and their caregivers' DC influenced their PSA directly (both β = -.138, P < .05) or through their FoP (β = -.050 and β = -.55, both P < .05). As for partner effects, patients' DC influenced the caregivers' PSA directly or through the patients' FoP (β = -.118 and β = -.020, both P < .05). Caregivers' DC also influenced patients' PSA directly (β = -.118, P < .05) or through the patients' or caregivers' FoP (β = -.098 and β = -.018, both P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The model revealed a significant mediating effect of FoP on the association between the PSA and DC of patients with malignancy and their caregivers. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Nurses should adopt a comprehensive perspective that includes caregivers in holistic care to improve their PSA by improving their level of DC or mitigating FoP.

Abstract
Enzalutamide (Enz) is commonly utilized as the initial treatment strategy for advanced prostate cancer (PCa). However, a notable subset of patients may experience resistance to Enz, resulting in reduced effectiveness. Utilizing Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases, we identified CBX2 as a crucial factor in mediating resistance to Enz, primarily due to its inhibitory effect on the P53 signaling pathway. Silencing of CBX2 using small interfering RNA (siRNA) led to elevated levels of P53 expression in LNCaP cells. This indicates that CBX2 may have a critical effect on PCa Enz resistance and could serve as a promising therapeutic target for individuals with Enz resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transport injuries (TI) remains one of leading causes of death in children in China. This study aimed to analyze the temporal trend of disease burden and associated risk factors of TI among children aged 0-14 years in China, utilizing data from 1990 to 2019. METHODS We retrieved data of disease burden and risk factors of TI among children aged 0-14 year in China from 1990 to 2019 from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) dataset. We estimated incidence rate, death rate, and disability adjusted life years (DALYs) rate with a 95% uncertainty interval (95% UI), stratified by age, sex, and all type-road users. Trends in disease burden with annual percentage changes (APC) and average annual percent change (AAPC) were performed by Joinpoint regression model. RESULTS The incidence rate (AAPC = 1.18%, P < 0.001) of TI among children aged 0-14 years showed an increasing trend, whereas mortality rate (AAPC = -3.87%, P < 0.001) and DALYs rate (AAPC = -3.83%, P < 0.001) decreased annually. Notably, boys experienced a higher increase in incidence (1.30%) compared to girls (1.06%), but a faster decrease in mortality and DALYs rate (-3.90% vs. -3.82%, -3.88% vs. -3.79%, respectively) (Pall < 0.001). Declines in death rates and DALYs rates were observed across all age groups (Pall < 0.001), while remained the highest among children aged 0-4 in 2019. Among different road-type users, cyclist road injuries were identified as the primary cause of TI (182.3 cases per 100,000) while pedestrians were the group with the highest mortality (2.9 cases per 100,000) and DALYs rate (243 cases per 100,000) in 2019. Besides, alcohol use was a significant risk factors for TI, while low temperature appeared to be a protective factor. CONCLUSION Future efforts must prioritize raising awareness among children and their guardians to mitigate the disease burden of TI in children. It's critical to enhance preventive interventions for boys, children aged 0-4 and vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists in future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is a refractory malignant tumor with high tumor heterogeneity, a low rate of early diagnosis, and poor patient prognosis. Lipid metabolism reprogramming plays a critical role in tumorigenesis and progression, but its prognostic role and regulatory mechanism in GC are rarely studied. Thus, the identification of signatures related to lipid metabolism is necessary and may present a new avenue for improving the overall prognosis of GC. METHODS Lipid metabolism-associated genes (LMAGs) with differential expression in tumor and tumor-adjacent tissue were acquired to identify lipid metabolism-associated subtypes. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two clusters were then utilized for prognostic analysis and signature construction. Additionally, pathway enrichment analysis and immune cell infiltration analysis were employed to identify the characteristics of the prognostic model. Further analyses were conducted at the single-cell level to better understand the model's prognostic mechanism. Finally, the prediction of immunotherapy response was used to suggest potential treatments. RESULTS Two lipid metabolism-associated subtypes were identified and 9 prognosis-related genes from the DEGs between the two clusters were collected for the construction of the prognostic model named lipid metabolism-associated signature (LMAS). Then we found the low LMAS patients with favorable prognoses were more sensitive to ferroptosis in the Cancer Genome Atlas of Stomach Adenocarcinoma (TCGA-STAD). Meanwhile, the tumor cells exhibiting high levels of lipid peroxidation and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in single-cell levels were primarily enriched in the low LMAS group, which was more likely to induce ferroptosis. In addition, endothelial cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) facilitated tumor angiogenesis, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis through endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), affecting the prognosis of the patients with high LMAS scores. Moreover, CD1C- CD141- dendritic cells (DCs) also secreted pro-tumorigenic cytokines to regulate the function of endothelial cells and CAFs. Finally, the patients with low LMAS scores might have better efficacy in immunotherapy. CONCLUSIONS A LMAS was constructed to guide GC prognosis and therapy. Meanwhile, a novel anti-tumor effect was found in lipid metabolism reprogramming of GC which improved patients' prognosis by regulating the sensitivity of tumor cells to ferroptosis. Moreover, EndMT may have a negative impact on GC prognosis.

Abstract
Background Cancer is widely recognized as a prominent contributor to global mortality due to factors such as delayed diagnosis, unfavorable prognosis, and high likelihood of recurrence. FGD5 transcription factor G antisense RNA 1(FGD5-AS1), a newly identified long non-coding RNA, has emerged as a promising prognostic biomarker, for malignancy prognosis. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the prognostic significance of FGD5-AS1 in various carcinomas. Methods A systematic search was performed through five electronic databases to identify studies that investigating the role of FGD5-AS1 expression as a prognostic factor in carcinomas. The value of FGD5-AS1 in malignancies was estimated by odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) with a corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Furthermore, the GEPIA database was used to further supplement our results. Results This analysis included 12 studies with 642 cases covering eight cancer types. High FGD5-AS1 expression exhibited a significant correlation with poor overall survival(OS) (HR = 2.04, 95%CI [1.72, 2.42], P < 0.00001), advanced tumor stage (OR = 3.47, 95%CI [2.34, 5.14], P < 0.00001), lymph node metastasis(LNM) (OR = 1.79, 95% CI [1.20,2.67], P = 0.004), and larger tumor size (OR= 5.25, 95%CI [2.68, 10.30], P < 0.00001). Furthermore, the FGD5-AS1 expression was notably upregulated in six types of malignancies as verified using the GEPIA online gene analysis tool. Conclusions The findings of this meta-analysis indicated that high FGD5-AS1 expression was significantly associated with poor prognosis in diverse cancer types, suggesting that FGD5-AS1 may be a promising biomarker for predicting cancer prognosis.

National age-specific mortality trends for cervical and breast cancers in urban-rural areas of China from 2009 to 2021: a population-based analysis. Mil Med Res 2024; 11:55. [PMID: 39138529 PMCID: PMC11323448 DOI: 10.1186/s40779-024-00561-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical and breast cancers are among the top 4 leading causes of cancer-related mortality in women. This study aimed to examine age-specific temporal trends in mortality for cervical and breast cancers in urban and rural areas of China from 2009 to 2021. METHODS Age-specific mortality data for cervical and breast cancers among Chinese women aged 20-84 years were obtained from China's National Disease Surveillance Points system spanning the years 2009 to 2021. Negative binomial regression models were utilized to assess urban-rural differences in mortality rate ratios, while Joinpoint models with estimated average annual percent changes (AAPC) and slopes were employed to compare temporal trends and the acceleration of mortality rates within different age groups. RESULTS From 2009 to 2021, there was a relative increase in age-specific mortality associated with the two cancers observed in rural areas compared with urban areas. A rising trend in the screening age of 35-64 [AAPC: 4.0%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.5-7.6%, P = 0.026] for cervical cancer was noted in rural areas, while a stable trend (AAPC: - 0.7%, 95% CI - 5.8 to 4.6%, P = 0.78) was observed in urban areas. As for breast cancer, a stable trend (AAPC: 0.3%, 95% CI - 0.3 to 0.9%, P = 0.28) was observed in rural areas compared to a decreasing trend (AAPC: - 2.7%, 95% CI - 4.6 to - 0.7%, P = 0.007) in urban areas. Urban-rural differences in mortality rates increased over time for cervical cancer but decreased for breast cancer. Mortality trends for both cervical and breast cancers showed an increase with age across 4 segments, with the most significant surge in mortality observed among the 35-54 age group across urban and rural areas, periods, and regions in China. CONCLUSIONS Special attention should be given to women aged 35-54 years due to mortality trends and rural-urban disparities. Focusing on vulnerable age groups and addressing rural-urban differences in the delivery of cancer control programs can enhance resource efficiency and promote health equity.

BMC Womens Health 2024; 24:454. [PMID: 39134972 PMCID: PMC11318260 DOI: 10.1186/s12905-024-03296-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast and cervical cancer are the most common cancers in women, and are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Cancer screening can facilitate early diagnosis, reduce mortality, and ease the burden of cancer. Social support and self-efficacy are strongly associated with cancer screening behavior. The present study aimed to explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy on social support and cancer screening behavior. METHODS In this cross-sectional survey study conducted from June to October 2023, 312 women aged 35-65 years were recruited from the East Coast area of China. A general information questionnaire, cancer screening behavior questionnaire, social support scale and self-efficacy scale were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the general characteristics of participants; one-way analysis of variance was used to test for differences in the measured variables; and Pearson's correlation analyses were used to describe the relationship among social support, self-efficacy, and cancer screening behavior. A mediation model was constructed and analyzed using the PROCESS macro for SPSS. RESULTS The mean (standard deviation) screening behavior score for breast cancer and cervical cancer was 3.98 (2.79), representing an intermediate level. Self-efficacy was closely related to social support and cancer screening behavior. Social support showed a significant positive correlation with self-efficacy (r = 0.37, p < 0.01) and cancer screening behavior (r = 0.18, p < 0.01). Self-efficacy was also significantly positively correlated with cancer screening behavior (r = 0.19, p < 0.05). Self-efficacy showed a full mediating effect between social support and cancer screening behavior, with an explanatory power of 32%. CONCLUSIONS The findings emphasize the need to increase women's level of social support and self-efficacy, which in turn can increase women's participation in breast and cervical cancer screening.
