Two five-color fluorescence multiplex amplification systems of 13 Y chromosome short tandem repeat (Y-STR) loci (DYF387S1, DYF399S1, DYF403S1a/b, DYF404S1, DYS449, DYS518, DYS526a/b, DYS547, DYS570, DYS576, DYS612, DYS626, and DYS627) have been designed. A study was conducted measuring the mutation rates of the 13 Y-STRs in 501 father-son pairs of Han origin in Beijing, China. Among 7515 allele transmissions in 501 father-son pairs, 75 single-step and 2 two-step mutations were observed. Two father-son pairs had mutations at two different loci in 13 Y-STRs. The estimated mutation rates ranged from 2.00 × 10 (95% CI 1.00 × 10 to 1.11 × 10) for the DYF387S1, DYF403S1b, DYS526a, and DYS449 loci to 4.59 × 10 (95% CI 2.93 × 10 to 6.81 × 10) for the DYF399S1 locus. The average mutation rate is 1.02 × 10 (95% CI 8.10 × 10 to 1.28 × 10). Among these Y-STR markers, only DYF399S1, DYS627, DYF403S1a, DYS547, DYS612, and DYS626 had mutation rates higher than 1.00 × 10.

Background: The use of third-generation different tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is considered the most effective option for treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. However, there is limited information on the efficacy and safety of aumolertinib in patients remains these cases.
Methods: The clinical records of patients receiving aumolertinib as first-line therapy across four hospitals in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from April 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, using progression-free survival (PFS) as the primary endpoint and overall survival (OS) representing the secondary endpoint.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor, and EGFRvIII mutation has been associated with treatment resistance and poor prognosis, highlighting the need for more effective therapeutic strategies. We conducted a random-effects Bayesian network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of treatments for EGFRvIII-positive recurrent GBM (rGBM), evaluating overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR). Seven clinical trials were included ( = 716).

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare and severe intestinal motility disorder with poor long-term prognosis and high mortality rate, especially when the small intestine is involved. Due to the non-specificity of clinical symptoms, CIPO has long faced diagnostic challenges. With the advancements of sequencing technology, many hereditary CIPOs have been identified.

Pyrazinamide (PZA) plays a crucial role in the treatment of both active and latent tuberculosis, particularly in regimens designed to treat drug-resistant TB. However, diagnosing resistance to PZA poses challenges for managing TB, highlighting the need for accurate detection methods. This study aims to address the challenges in detecting PZA resistance by modifying the standard MGIT960 PZA drug susceptibility testing method by optimizing the inoculum dilution.

Background And Objectives: Drug resistance is a major contributor to tuberculosis (TB) deaths worldwide. Understanding the dynamics of in-host evolution of (MTB) drug resistance can help to improve treatment success rates.
Methodology: The microevolution of drug-resistant MTB was studied in three patients with long-standing, extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) by analyzing whole genome sequences of serial isolates collected during treatment.
