The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of lncRNA ENST0000000454471 in lung adenocarcinoma progression and tumor immune escape, and to analyze the protein structure and biological function of HDAC8. Various experimental techniques were used in this study, including real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) to detect the difference in lncRNA ENST0000000454471 expression between lung adenocarcinoma tissue and normal lung tissue. Cell experiments included cell proliferation, migration and invasion experiments to evaluate the effect of lncRNA ENST0000000454471 on the behavior of lung adenocarcinoma cells.

Methods: After the construction of A549/DDP cells through exposure to DDP, the effects of GA-A on A549 and A549/DDP cells were revealed by cellular functional assays, western blot and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR).
Background: () rs1799782 polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (LC). The aim of this study is to analyze the underlying biological mechanisms.
Methods: Dual luciferase reporter assay was utilized to verify the impact of polymorphism upon promoter activity of .
Background: Automatic recognition of cough sounds shows promise in the diagnosis of respiratory conditions. This study investigated the diagnostic value of cough sounds in elderly patients with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI).
Methods: We selected 83 elderly patients with suspected LRTI who sought medical advice at our hospital from January 2022 to September 2022, and grouped them into the infected and uninfected categories, according to their clinical traits.
Background: Fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP) and livin α are considered as cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and tumor-specific targets, respectively, for immunogenic tumor vaccines. This study is designed to decipher the antitumor effect of double-gene modified dendritic cells (DCs) on Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC).
Methods: By encoding mouse FAP cDNA and human livin α (i.

This study is a retrospective study. The purpose of this study is to construct and validate an early warning model of lung cancer through machine learning. The CDKN2A gene expression profile and clinical information were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and divided into a tumor group and a normal group (n = 57).

Platinum-based chemotherapy is still be the standard treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Recently, studies demonstrate that some kinds of microRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with chemosensitivity of NSCLC cells to platinum-based treatment. Unfortunately, cancer cells usually change their expression profile of miRNAs to form drug resistance against chemotherapy.

The interaction of ceftriaxone sodium (CS), a cephalosporin antibiotic, with the major transport protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), was investigated using different spectroscopic techniques such as fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), and UV-vis spectroscopy. Values of binding parameters for BSA-CS interaction in terms of binding constant and number of binding sides were found to be 9.00 × 10(3), 3.
