In our investigation, we examined biochemical parameters and identified hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) as a significant predictor for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. A group of 100 patients was used to explore potential biomarkers related to progression-free survival (PFS). Subsequently, an independent cohort of 404 patients from a separate hospital was recruited to validate our findings. Our results revealed a strong association between elevated HBDH levels and poor PFS. Furthermore, although overexpression of LDHB, but not LDHA, was notably linked to poorer outcomes, HBDH expression emerged as a more robust predictor of clinical prognosis compared to LDH expression. Our investigations, which included metabolic and genetic pathway enrichment analyses, indicated that patients exhibiting heightened HBDH expression were characterized by distinct pathways related to energy metabolism and lymphoma progression. In conclusion, elevated HBDH levels were correlated with adverse survival and might serve as an independent parameter for evaluating patient outcomes.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective anti-tumor agents, but new immune-related side effects (irAEs) are emerging. This retrospective cohort study investigated 461 lung cancer patients treated with ICIs over 2 years, analyzing changes in pulmonary artery diameter (PAD), aortic diameter (AoD), and the pulmonary artery/aortic diameter (PAD/AoD) ratio through chest computed tomography (CT) at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-treatment. The PAD increased from 25.

Ketone bodies are a key alternative energy source during carbohydrate deficiency. In addition to their metabolic function, they regulate essential cellular processes, including metabolism, signal transduction, and protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). However, the role of ketone body metabolism in tumorigenesis remains poorly understood.

To analyze the clinical characteristics of anti-melanoma differentiation associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody-positive juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) patients. A retrospective case-control study was conducted. The positive group included 18 children with anti-MDA5 antibody-positive JDM who were admitted to the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology at Capital Center for Children's Health with Capital Medical University between January 2016 and January 2023.

Carotenoids contribute substantially to animal body colour pattern diversity. While the ecological and evolutionary drivers of carotenoid coloration are reasonably well understood, the molecular mechanisms facilitating evolutionary transitions between red and yellow hues are less investigated. Here we leverage phylogenetically replicated red-versus-yellow colour contrasts in three pairs of closely related cichlid fishes (Tropheus and Aulonocara; Haplochromini) to investigate biochemical and genetic parallels in carotenoid colour differentiation.

To explore the application value of machine learning algorithms in constructing a predictive model for cardiovascular toxicity in breast cancer patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy. This study was a retrospective cohort study. The female patients with breast cancer who received anthracyclines in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2020 to December 2023 were enrolled.
