Study on Quasi-Open Microwave Cavity Sensor Measuring Pulverized Coal Mass Concentration in Primary Air Pipe.

Pulverized coal mass concentration in the primary air pipe is one of the essential parameters for promoting furnace combustion efficiency. However, attaining accurate, real-time, and online detection for pulverized coal mass concentration remains challenging due to factors such as large pipe diameter and high flow rate. This study introduces a quasi-open microwave resonant cavity sensor.

The expression of miR-21, HSP90a and gGASP-1 in serum of patients with lung cancer and their correlation with pathological subtypes.

Background: To investigate the expression of miR-21, heat shock protein-90a (HSP90a) and G protein-coupled receptorrelated sorting protein 1(GASP-1) in the serum of lung cancer patients and their correlation with pathological subtypes.

Methods: Eighty patients with lung cancer were included in the lung cancer group from May 2020 to May 2022, and 40 volunteers who underwent physical examination were randomly included in the control group according to the group ratio of 2:1. This ratio balances the need for a sufficiently large experimental group to detect significant effects with the practicality of recruiting a manageable control group.

The role of miR-6884-5p in epithelial-mesenchymal transition in non-small cell lung cancer.

Significant progress has been made in the management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), though a big barrier remains, which is epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Our study aimed to evaluate the function of miR-6884-5p and S100A16 in EMT-aggravated NSCLC. The tumor tissues and adjacent tissues from 92 NSCLC patients were collected to analyze the expression of miR-6884-5p and S100A16.

Effects of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab on the suppression of cisplatin resistant small cell lung cancer cells.

Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for nearly 10-15% of all lung cancer cases. Although many chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin and etoposide, were approved as primary therapy for SCLC patients, the prognosis is poor. In this study, we aimed to explore novel therapeutic strategy against SCLC.
