Article Abstract

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Clinically, the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be improved by the early detection and risk screening among population. To meet this need, here we describe in detail a shotgun following the targeted proteomics workflow that we previously applied for human plasma analysis, which involves (1) the application of extensive peptide-level fractionation coupled with label-free quantitative proteomics for the discovery of plasma biomarker candidates for lung cancer and (2) the usage of the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) assays for the follow-up validations in the verification phase. The workflow features simplicity, low cost, high transferability, high robustness, and flexibility with specific instrumental settings.

Background: Rare genetic variation provided by whole genome sequence datasets has been relatively less explored for its contributions to human traits. Meta-analysis of sequencing data offers advantages by integrating larger sample sizes from diverse cohorts, thereby increasing the likelihood of discovering novel insights into complex traits. Furthermore, emerging methods in genome-wide rare variant association testing further improve power and interpretability.

Background: Surgical resection is the cornerstone for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with lobectomy historically standard. Evolving techniques have spurred debate comparing lobectomy and segmentectomy. This study analyzed early postoperative patient-reported symptoms and functional status in patients with early NSCLC undergoing either procedure.

Radon (Rn) is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the decay of uranium-bearing minerals in rocks and soils. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels in drinking water is associated with an increased risk of stomach and lung cancers. This study aims to assess the concentration of radon in groundwater and evaluate its potential health risks in six cancer-affected districts, i.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) associated with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) harbours distinct features compared to lung adenocarcinoma without UIP. Therefore, we aimed to characterise the tumour microenvironment of LUAD with UIP by focusing on cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and stromal composition. Immunohistochemistry was performed on 32 LUAD samples (16 each with and without UIP) to evaluate CAF marker expression and lymphocyte infiltration.
