Many countries and regions in the world have obtained industrial oil flow in the Meso-Neoproterozoic sedimentary strata and formed commercial exploitation in recent years. The development horizon of high-quality source rocks in the Proterozoic in North China can be compared with the international, indicating that the Meso-Neoproterozoic in North China has great exploration potential. The sedimentary characteristics of typical aulacogen in multiple cratons in the Meso-Neoproterozoic North China Craton are compared and studied by using field outcrop data, drilling data and analysis and test data, aiming to provide sedimentary support for the prediction of oil and gas distribution and evaluation of exploration field in the Meso-Neoproterozoic in this area.

We aim to investigate the prognostic and immunological role of TPX2 in pan-cancer. TCGA database, Tumor Immune Single-cell Hub (TISCH), and Human Protein Atlas (HPA) were retrieved to evaluate the expression pattern of TPX2 as well as its diagnostic and prognostic value in solid tumors.

Methods: GENE expression data of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GEO database were employed in differently expressed RNA and miRNA (DE-miRNAs/DE-mRNAs) screening.
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) predominates lung cancer with a striking percentage of 85%. Eupafolin is documented to possess anti-tumor efficacy, which prompts efforts to uncover its impacts on the pathology of diseases including cancers. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK)-mediated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) has been found to be associated with several carcinomas.

Background: There have been several studies evaluating the prognostic significance of cell division cycle associated 5 (CDCA5). However, few reports analyzed the correlation between CDCA5 and prognosis of diverse cancers based on large clinical data. We thus comprehensively analyzed CDCA5 expression and clinical significance using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data from 31 types of solid tumors.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) capable of post-transcriptionally regulating mRNA expression are essential to tumor occurrence and progression.
Objective: This study aims to find negatively regulatory miRNA-mRNA pairs in prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD).

Background: The whole tumor microenvironment (TME) infiltration features monitored by integrated roles of different RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulators remain elusive. Our study is aimed at exploring the association between m6A modification patterns, TME cell-infiltrating levels, and patients' prognosis in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) patients.

We report a case of a 68-year-old man diagnosed with pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma who showed partial response after a single treatment with camrelizumab (PD1 monoclonal antibody). The patient's tumor was positive for programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and progressed rapidly after a course of chemotherapy. Fortunately, the tumors dramatically shrank after one cycle of camrelizumab, an anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody developed by Chinese Hengrui Medicine.
