[PMID: 38397927 PMCID: PMC10886466 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12020325] [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: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Mutations in the KRAS gene are among the most common mutations observed in cancer cells, but they have only recently become an achievable goal for targeted therapies. Two KRAS inhibitors, sotorasib and adagrasib, have recently been approved for the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with the KRAS G12C mutation, while studies on their efficacy are still ongoing. In this work, we comprehensively analyzed RAS gene mutations' molecular background, mutation testing, KRAS inhibitors' effectiveness with an emphasis on non-small cell lung cancer, the impact of KRAS mutations on immunotherapy outcomes, and drug resistance problems. We also summarized ongoing trials and analyzed emerging perspectives on targeting KRAS in cancer patients.

Abstract
Cancerous tumors are among the most fatal diseases worldwide, claiming nearly 10 million lives in 2020. Due to their complex and dynamic nature, modeling tumors accurately is a challenging task. Current models suffer from inadequate translation between in vitro and in vivo results, primarily due to the isotropic nature of tumors and their microenvironment's relationship. To address these limitations, hydrogel-based 3D bioprinting is emerging as a promising approach to mimic cancer development and behavior. It provides precise control over individual elements' size and distribution within the cancer microenvironment and enables the use of patient-derived tumor cells, rather than commercial lines. Consequently, hydrogel bioprinting is expected to become a state-of-the-art technique for cancer research. This manuscript presents an overview of cancer statistics, current modeling methods, and their limitations. Additionally, we highlight the significance of bioprinting, its applications in cancer modeling, and the importance of hydrogel selection. We further explore the current state of creating models for the five deadliest cancers using 3D bioprinting. Finally, we discuss current trends and future perspectives on the clinical use of cancer modeling using hydrogel bioprinting.

Accurate diagnosis of bronchopulmonary Talaromyces marneffei infection in an anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies positive patient assisted by endobronchial ultrasound-guided TBNA and mNGS: a case report. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2023; 13:1186335. [PMID: 37860065 PMCID: PMC10583546 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2023.1186335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023] Open
Abstract
RATIONALE T. marneffei is opportunistic and dimorphic fungus, which can cause systemic mycosis in human beings. It's being difficult to obtain histopathological or microbiological evidence in T. marneffei infection. We reported a rare non-HIV case of T. marneffei infection of bronchopulmonary and mediastinal lymph nodes which was diagnosed by EBUS-TBNA combined with mNGS. The high titer of anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies in serum was probably the cause of T. marneffei infection,which has yet to be fully known. PATIENT CONCERNS A 56-year-old Chinese man presented with a 5-month history of intermittent low or high fever and dry cough, followed by fatigue, night sweating, and chest pain when coughing. A large hilar lesion in the left lung and multiple mediastinal lymph node enlargements were found on his chest CT scan. DIAGNOSES The patient received EBUS-TBNA of hilar tissue and lymph node biopsy for mNGS at the second Ultrasonic bronchoscopy. No fungal hyphae or spores were found in the histopathology. There were high sequencing reads of T. marneffei in samples of lymph node fluid and bronchogenesis tissue detected by mNGS. His plasma anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies level was positive with a high titer at 1:2500↑. INTERVENTION The patient went through atrial fibrillation at the first dose of amphotericin B liposomes and treated with voriconazole later. OUTCOMES His fever, cough and dyspnea quickly disappeared since the fourth day of treatment. After six months, there was not any focus in his chest CT scans. But his plasma anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies remained unchanged. LESSONS Complementing the traditional laboratory and bronchoscopy, mNGS combined with EBUS-TBNA facilitate rapid and precise diagnosis of bronchopulmonary mediastinal lymph nodes T. marneffei infection. Clinicians should be aware of anti-INF-γ autoantibodies in opportunistic infections of non-HIV patients.

Abstract
Background The incidence and mortality of lung cancer ranks first in China. Bronchoscopy is one of the most common diagnostic methods for lung cancer. In recent years, image recognition technology(IRT) has been more and more widely studied and applied in the medical field. We developed a diagnostic model of lung cancer under bronchoscopy based on deep learning method and tried to classify pathological types. Methods A total of 2238 lesion images were collected retrospectively from 666 cases of lung cancer diagnosed by pathology in the bronchoscopy center of the Third Xiangya Hospital from Oct.01 2017 to Dec.31 2020 and 152 benign cases from Jun.01 2015 to Dec.31 2020. The benign and malignant images were divided into training, verification and test set according to 7:1:2 respectively. The model was trained and tested based on deep learning method. We also tried to classify different pathological types of lung cancer using the model. Furthermore, 9 clinicians with different experience were invited to diagnose the same test images and the results were compared with the model. Results The diagnostic model took a total of 30s to diagnose 467 test images. The overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and area under curve (AUC) of the model to differentiate benign and malignant lesions were 0.951, 0.978, 0.833 and 0.940, which were equivalent to the judgment results of 2 doctors in the senior group and higher than those of other doctors. In the classification of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC), the overall accuracy was 0.745, including 0.790 for SCC, 0.667 for AC and AUC was 0.728. Conclusion The performance of our diagnostic model to distinguish benign and malignant lesions in bronchoscopy is roughly the same as that of experienced clinicians and the efficiency is much higher than manually. Our study verifies the possibility of applying IRT in diagnosis of lung cancer during white light bronchoscopy.

Abstract
Background This study discusses the developmental trends and research hotspots in bronchoscopy anesthesia in the past six decades. Methods The original and review articles published from 1975 to June 2021 related to bronchoscopy anesthesia were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Three different scientometric tools (CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix) were used for this comprehensive analysis. Results There was a substantial increase in the research on bronchoscopy anesthesia in recent years. A total of 1,270 publications were retrieved up to June 25, 2021. Original research articles were 1,152, and reviews were 118, including 182 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). These publications were cited a total of 25,504 times, with a mean of 20.08 citations per publication. The US had the largest number of publications (27.6%) and the highest H-index of 44. The sum of publications from China ranked second (11.5%), with an H-index of 17. Keyword co-occurrence and references co-citation visual analysis showed that the use of sedatives such as dexmedetomidine in the process of bronchoscopy diagnosis and treatment was gradually increasing, indicating that bronchoscopy anesthesia was further progressing toward safety and comfort. Conclusion Based on a bibliometric analysis of the publications over the past decades, a comprehensive analysis indicated that the research of bronchoscopy anesthesia is in a period of rapid development and demonstrated the improvement of medical instruments and surgical options that have significantly contributed to the field of bronchoscopy anesthesia. The data would provide future directions for clinicians and researchers in relation to bronchoscopy anesthesia.

Abstract
Exposure to radon is the second most common factor causing lung cancer in smokers and the first among non-smokers. We aimed to measure the impact of the radon exposure on patients with different histological types of advanced lung cancer. The measurement of radon exposure was performed in 102 patients with lung cancer in stage 3B or higher (Poland). There were 78.4% of patients with non-small cell carcinoma and 21.6% of patients with small cell carcinoma. One month radon exposure measurement was performed with trace detectors in order to control whether high radon concentrations (>800 Bq/m3) were found in the homes of patients with cancer diagnosed. Results of the determinations were then compared with the representation of the most common types of lung cancer in the study population. In the analyzed group, the average concentration of radon during the exposure of the detector in the residential premises of the respondents accounted for 69.0 Bq/m3 [37.0−117.0] and had no statistically significant effect on the type of lung cancer developed in patients. The lack of statistical significance may result from the small study group and the accompanying exposure to other harmful components. As the incidence of lung adenocarcinoma is increasing and exposure to tobacco smoke is decreasing, the search for other modifiable causes of lung cancer should be the task in the future.

Abstract
Despite the enormous progress and development of modern therapies, lung cancer remains one of the most common causes of death among men and women. The key element in the development of new anti-cancer drugs is proper planning of the preclinical research phase. The most adequate basic research exemplary for cancer study are 3D tumor microenvironment in vitro models, which allow us to avoid the use of animal models and ensure replicable culture condition. However, the question tormenting the scientist is how to choose the best tool for tumor microenvironment research, especially for extremely heterogenous lung cancer cases. In the presented review we are focused to explain the key factors of lung cancer biology, its microenvironment, and clinical gaps related to different therapies. The review summarized the most important strategies for in vitro culture models mimicking the tumor–tumor microenvironmental interaction, as well as all advantages and disadvantages were depicted. This knowledge could facilitate the right decision to designate proper pre-clinical in vitro study, based on available analytical tools and technical capabilities, to obtain more reliable and personalized results for faster introduction them into the future clinical trials.
