Peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a heterogeneous group of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas varying in clinical, phenotypic, and genetic features. The molecular pathogenesis and the role of the tumor microenvironment in PTCL are poorly understood, with limited biomarkers available for genetic subtyping and targeted therapies. Through an integrated genomic and transcriptomic study of 221 PTCL patients, we delineate the genetic landscape of PTCL, enabling molecular and microenvironment classification.

However, their efficacy and potential mechanisms in the treatment of intestinal IR injury have not been investigated.
Objective: The objective of the present study is to investigate the pharmacological mechanism of action of SAL on intestinal IR injury using a network pharmacology approach combined with experimental validation.
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors with growing morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several treatments are used to manage lung cancer, including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, as well as molecular-targeted therapy. However, the current measures are still far from satisfactory.

Oriented external electric fields are now emerging as "smart effectors" of chemical changes. The key challenges in experimentally studying electrostatic catalysis are (i) controlling the orientation of fields along the reaction axis and (ii) finely adjusting the magnitudes of electrostatic stimuli. Surface models provide a versatile platform for addressing the direction of electric fields with respect to reactants and balancing the trade-off between the solubility of charged species and the intensity of electric fields.

The mechanism of ccRCC metastasis is not well known. N-lysine methyltransferase KMT5A serves a crucial role in the progression of human cancer; however, the function of KMT5A in the development of ccRCCs has not yet been investigated, which has triggered an interest in investigating the potential association between KMT5A and ccRCC.

NDN is a member of the MAGE family, encoding a protein that generally suppresses cell proliferation and acting as a transcriptional repressor. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the expression of NDN was significantly down-regulated in CRC tissues compared with normal tissues and the down-regulation of NDN in CRC could reflect the hypermethylation of the NDN promoter.

The adaptor protein NCK1 is involved in cytoskeletal movement and was identified as a STAT3-associated target in human tumors. However, the underlying molecular mechanism associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis is not yet completely understood.

In the present work, recursive variable selection methods (updating both the model coefficients and effective variables during the prediction process) were applied to maintain the predictive abilities of calibration models. This work compared the performances of partial least squares (PLS), recursive PLS (RPLS) and three recursive variable selection methods, namely vari- able importance in the projection combined with RPLS (VIP-RPLS), VIP-PLS, and uninformative variable elimination combined with PLS (UVE-PLS) for the measurement of soil total nitrogen (TN) and organic matter (OM) using Vis-NIR spectroscopy. The dataset consisted of 195 soil samples collected from eight towns in Wencheng County, Zhejiang Province, China.

The grassland spectrum was got from Hyperion images of Shiyang River Basin using PPI, after FLAASH atmosphere correction, to understand the spectral characteristics quantitatively. The results show that red edge moves left, slope reduced, blue and yellow edge feature is abated, reflectance is higher in visible bands, and lower near-infrared bands when grassland is at decline stage relative to the spectrum characteristics of grassland at well growth. The red edge, green peaks, absorption valley location of blue and red light keep consistent for different coverage grassland, and spectrum absorption characteristics (band depth, width, area, symmetry) in visual bands change regularly as coverage increases, so it can be a basis for extraction or judgment of vegetation coverage.
