Background: Symptom clusters in cancer symptom management research, providing a scientific basis for developing effective strategies for symptom assessment and intervention aimed at improving patient quality of life and survival.
Objective: To analyze symptom clusters in postoperative lung cancer patients, examine its influenced factor, and explore the relationship between postoperative symptom clusters and functional status in lung cancer patients.
Methods: Between August 2023 and February 2024, 441 lung cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at a tertiary hospital in Xiamen were selected. Data collection included a general information questionnaire, the Postoperative Patient-Reported Outcomes Scale for Early-Stage Lung Cancer Patients, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), and the Karnofsky Performance Status Scale (KPSS). Latent class analysis was employed to categorize the self-reported outcomes. Statistical analyses were performed on the relevant factors.
Results: The self-reported postoperative symptoms in lung cancer patients were divided into two groups: high-symptom burden and low-symptom burden. Significant differences were observed between these groups concerning surgery duration, kinesiophobia score, personality traits, KPSS, and the use of analgesic pumps ( <0.005). After adjusting for sex, age, lifestyle, and health status, a multi-model approach confirmed a significant inverse relationship between higher KPSS levels and higher symptom burden ( < 0.001). High-symptom levels are negatively associated with functional status ( <0.005).
Conclusion: Postoperative symptom clusters in lung cancer patients can be specifically categorized into high and low-symptom burdens. Surgery duration, kinesiophobia scores, personality traits, KPSS, and the use of analgesic pumps are significant risk factors affecting symptom burden. Postoperative symptom cluster assessment provides a scientific basis for developing effective management strategies, which may improve functional recovery and long-term outcomes in lung cancer patients.

A Mg(OTf)-catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition/cyclization cascade reaction between 3-isothiocyanato oxindoles and 2-arylidene-1,3-indanediones has been developed. This transformation provides an efficient and concise approach to biologically important bispiro[indanedione-oxindole-pyrrolidinyl]s under mild conditions in good to excellent yields (70-99% yields) with moderate to good stereoselectivities (up to 99% and >95:5 d.r.

Introduction: Immunosenescence remodels immune functions and was first described with aging. It is present in 25% of cancer patients but has also been described in patients with Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). This study aims at quantifying cells exhibiting a phenotype of senescence in CD4+ (T4sen) and CD8+ (T8sen) T cells, analyzing its potential drivers and the effect of anti-TNF treatment in a prospective cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) and Sjögren disease (SjD).

Objectives: Bladder cancer is a common malignancy with high incidence and poor prognosis. N-methyladenosine (mA) modification is widely involved in diverse physiological processes, among which the mA recognition protein YTH N-methyladenosine RNA binding protein F2 (YTHDF2) plays a crucial role in bladder cancer progression. This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which O-linked -acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification of YTHDF2 regulates its downstream target, period circadian regulator 1 (), thereby promoting bladder cancer cell proliferation.

Objectives: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with poor prognosis, with 30% of patients diagnosed at an advanced stage. Mutations in the and genes are important prognostic factors for NSCLC, and targeted therapies can significantly improve survival in these patients. Although tissue biopsy remains the gold standard for detecting gene mutations, it has limitations, including invasiveness, sampling errors due to tumor heterogeneity, and poor reproducibility.

Aims: We aimed to analyze CD63, a cell surface protein that has been associated with tumor aggressiveness in several cancers, including breast, colorectal, and lung cancer, as well as melanoma, in prostate cancer.
Methods: CD63 expression was analyzed immunohistochemically in a cohort of primary prostate cancers from 281 patients. The results were correlated with clinico-pathologic parameters, including biochemical recurrence.
