Article Abstract

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a poor prognostic subtype of breast cancer due to limited treatment. Macrophage plays a critical role in tumor growth and survival. Our study intends to explore the heterogeneity of macrophage in TNBC and establish a macrophage-related prognostic model for TNBC prognostic stratification. Seurat package was conducted to analyze the single-cell RNA expression profilers. The cell types were identified by the markers derived from public research and online database. The cell-cell interactions were calculated by the CellChat package. Monocle package was used to visualize the cell trajectory of macrophages. The prognostic model was constructed by six macrophage-related genes after a series of selections. The expression of six genes were validated in normal and TNBC tissues. And several potential agents for high-risk TNBC patients were analyzed by Connectivity Map analysis. Nine cell types were identified, and the macrophages were highly enriched in TNBC samples. five distinct subgroups of macrophage were identified. Notably, SPP1+ tumor-associated macrophages exhibited a poor prognosis. The prognostic model was constructed by , , , , , and with good predictive accuracy at 3-, 5- years overall survival for TNBC patients in both training and external test cohorts. Finally, several drugs were identified for the high-risk TNBC patients decided by model. Our study provides a valuable source for clarifying macrophage heterogeneity in TNBC, and a promising tool for prognostic risk stratification of TNBC.

Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) remains a public health conundrum with high morbidity and mortality rates. While early identification of high-risk patients could enable preventive interventions and improve survival, evidence on the effectiveness of current prediction methods remains inconclusive. Limited research exists on patients' prearrest pathophysiological status and predictive and prognostic factors of IHCA, highlighting the need for a comprehensive synthesis of predictive methodologies.

Background: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a life-threatening condition requiring early risk stratification. While the Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) is widely used, its reliance on complex parameters limits its applicability in resource-constrained settings. This study introduces a decision tree model based on Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis, utilizing Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and C-reactive Protein (CRP), as a simpler alternative for early SAP prediction.

Rationale And Objectives: Double expression lymphoma (DEL) is an independent high-risk prognostic factor for primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL), and its diagnosis currently relies on invasive methods. This study first integrates radiomics and habitat radiomics features to enhance preoperative DEL status prediction models via intratumoral heterogeneity analysis.

Materials And Methods: Clinical, pathological, and MRI imaging data of 139 PCNSL patients from two independent centers were collected.

Objective: To develop and validate a prognostic nomogram for predicting the risk of proximal ureteral impacted calculi, supporting personalized clinical management.

Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study employed a continuous cohort of 391 patients with proximal ureteral stones treated between January 2021 and April 2024. Data from Longyan People's Hospital (affiliated with Xiamen Medical College) comprised the training set, while independent external validation was performed using data from The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Purpose: In this retrospective study, whether [Ga]Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/MR imaging biomarkers can predict the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer was investigated.

Methods: Fifty-one patients who underwent [Ga]Ga-DOTA-FAPI-04 PET/MR scans before first-line chemotherapy were recruited. Imaging biomarkers, including the maximum tumor diameter, minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), maximum and mean standardized uptake values (SUV and SUV), fibroblast activation protein- (FAP-) positive tumor volume (FTV and W-FTV) and total lesion FAP expression (TLF and W-TLF), were recorded for primary and whole-body tumors.
