Background: Breast cancer is a common malignancy among women worldwide, frequently associated with cancer-related cognitive impairment, which significantly affects quality of life. Non-pharmacological therapies, especially digital health interventions (DHIs), show potential in mitigating cognitive impairment related to cancer through tailored and interactive cognitive training. Nonetheless, current research fails to systematically integrate intervention strategies, behavioral change techniques (BCTs), and their effectiveness.

However, most existing VETC-related radiological studies still focus on the prediction of VETC status.
Purpose: This study aimed to build and compare VETC-MVI related models (clinical, radiomics, and deep learning) associated with recurrence-free survival of HCC patients.
Introduction: As a very rare form of B-cell lymphoma, plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) typically occurs in patients with underlying immunosuppression, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), organ transplantation, and autoimmune diseases. For HIV-positive patients, PBL normally originates in the gastrointestinal tract, especially from the oral cavity in most cases. It is extremely rare to find abdominal cavity involvement in PBL, and there has been no previously reported instance of proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobulin deposits (PGNMID) attributed to monoclonal IgG (MIgG) lambda secreted by PBL.

In this study, we analyzed the shared processes of pyroptosis in Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), as well as explored the correlation between the burden of pyroptosis and the results of anti-TNF treatment based on bioinformatics analyses. We identified CAPS1, CASP5, GSDMD, AIM2, and NLRP3 as the hub genes, with AIM2 being the most effective indicator for predicting the response to anti-TNF therapy.

Here, we reveal that ALKBH5 is acetylated at lysine 235 (K235) by lysine acetyltransferase 8 and deacetylated by histone deacetylase 7.

Background: BRAF V600E-mutant advanced colon cancer with peritoneal metastasis is associated with a poor prognosis. Surgery is not recommended by current guidelines, and there are few cases demonstrating the efficacy of targeted therapy combined with surgery in such patients. In the era of precision medicine, we apply aggressive surgery after successful conversion of triple-targeted drugs to prolong survival and provide a clinical basis for the treatment of such patients.

Background: Recent studies have emphasized the emerging importance of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the functions and regulatory mechanisms of numerous lncRNAs in CRC have not been fully elucidated.
Aim: To explore the functional role and underlying molecular mechanisms of lncRNA TNFRSF10A-AS1 in CRC.
Background: Pyroptosis is a unique inflammatory-related cell death process, and inflammation is considered to be a key factor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the pyroptosis landscape in HCC has not been thoroughly studied.
Methods: Clinical data and RNA sequencing data of HCC patients were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with pyroptosis were discovered.

Background: Colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) is a serious complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). microRNA-320 (miRNA-320) promotes intestinal mucosal barrier repair in IBD and inhibits tumor progression. However, the role of miRNA-320 in the progression of CAC remains to be defined.

Recently, the control and elimination of pDOM have been a growing concern during drinking water treatment processes. In this study, a high-performance size exclusion chromatography system coupled with photo-diode array, fluorescence detector, and online organic carbon detector (HPSEC-PDA/FLD/OCD) was used to determine the removal behaviors of different-sized pDOM from two full-scale drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs).

We performed a prospective randomized trial with a long-term follow-up to compare the detection rate of dysplasia among WLE with targeted biopsies (WLT), WLE with random biopsies (WLR), and dye-based CE with targeted biopsies (CET) in UC patients.
Methods: Patients with long-standing UC were enrolled from 11 medical centers from March 2012 to December 2013 and randomized into three arms (WLT, WLR, and CET).
