Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common cancer of the digestive system. Recently, transmembrane proteins (TMEMs) have been extensively studied in different types of malignant tumors. However, the influence of TMEM206 in hepatocellular carcinoma is unclear. The UALCAN database was used to investigate the expression of TMEM206 mRNA in liver cancer tissues and used the Human Protein Atlas (THPA) to study the expression of TMEM206 in HCC tissues. The expression of TMEM206 was measured in normal liver HL-7702 cells and HepG2, SMMC-7721, and Bel-7402 liver cancer cells. Next, a lentivirus was used to knockdown TMEM206 in HepG2 cells. Furthermore, after verifying knockdown, we studied the effect of TMEM206 downregulation on the malignant behavior of HepG2 and on the PI3K/AKT pathway. TMEM206 was highly expressed in liver cancer cells ( p < 0.001). Downregulation of TMEM206 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of HepG2, significantly promoted the apoptosis of HepG2, and inhibited the expression of P-PI3K and P-AKT. TMEM206 can affect the malignant behavior of HCC. And the PI3K/AKT pathway was affected. This study provides new ideas for the treatment of HCC.

Abstract
Abstract
The present study aimed to design and synthesize a series of phenyl-isoxazole-carboxamide derivatives and investigate their antitumor and antioxidant activities. The in vitro cytotoxic evaluation was conducted using the MTS assay against four cancer cell lines: hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep3B and HepG2), cervical adenocarcinoma (HeLa), breast carcinoma (MCF-7), in addition to the normal cell line (Hek293T). Besides, the antioxidant activity was evaluated using a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. All obtained compounds were found to have potent to moderate activities against Hep3B and MCF-7 cancer cells lines, except compound 2e. It was found that compound 2a has potent activity against HeLa and Hep3B cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 0.91 and 8.02 µM, respectively. The IC50 dose range of the tested compounds against Hep3B was 5.96–28.62 µM, except for 2e, compared with doxorubicin, which has an IC50 value of 2.23 µM. Also, the IC50 value range of the compounds against Hek293T was 112.78–266.66 µM, compared with doxorubicin, which has an IC50 dose of 0.581 µM. The antioxidant activity of the synthesized compounds was weak, and compound 2d showed moderate activity against the DPPH enzyme with an IC50 value of 138.50 µM in comparison with Trolox, which has an IC50 dose of 37.23 µM.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) represents a major public health issue worldwide, being the fifth most common cancer and one of the leading causes of death by cancer. In 2014, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) established that tumors positive for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are considered a specific subtype of GC (EBVaGC). Several meta-analyses have shown that EBVaGC represents almost 10% of all gastric cancer worldwide, with small differences in the geographic distribution. This tumor subtype has a high potential of being clinically relevant and studies have shown that it has specific features, a better prognosis, and increased overall survival. In this review, we summarize some of the most frequent aspects of EBVaGC, including the specific features of this GC subtype, data regarding the potential steps of EBVaGC carcinogenesis, and perspectives on treatment opportunities.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Ferroptosis is a type of programmed cell death dependent on iron and characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides, which was involved in the progression of malignant tumors including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Material/methods
Ferroptosis inhibiting gene solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) mRNA expression was investigated in the database of TCGA and Oncomine and compared between the cancer tissue and the normal corresponding tissue of NSCLC patients. SLC7A11 gene mutation of NSCLC was investigated in the TCGA database by the online data analysis tool of Catalog of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) and cBioPortal. The protein–protein interaction (PPI) network of SLC7A11 and associated genes were constructed with the STRING database. Gene ontology (GO) and the KEGG pathway of genes involved in the PPI network were explored and demonstrated by a bubble plot. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and postprogression survival (PPS) between SLC7A11high and SLC7A11low expression groups were compared and demonstrated by the survival curve.
Results
SLC7A11 mRNA was upregulated in cancer tissues compared to paired normal tissues in colorectal adenocarcinoma, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma rectum adenocarcinoma and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma. Missense and synonymous substitutions were 66.67% and 16.67% for lung squamous cell carcinoma. For lung adenocarcinoma, the missense and synonymous substitutions were 66.67% and 33.33% respectively. In the case of single nucleotide mutation, A>T, C>G, G>A, G>T for lung squamous cell carcinoma and G>T, C>A, G>A, T> for lung adenocarcinoma were the most common mutations in the SLC7A11 coding strand. Fifty-one genes were included in the PPI network with an edge number of 287, average node degree of 11.3 and local clustering coefficient of 0.694, which demonstrated that the PPI network was enriched significantly (p = 1.0 × 10−16). In terms of the KEGG pathway, the SLC7A11 and PPI-involved genes were mainly enriched in ferroptosis, NSCLC, pathways in cancer, tp53 signaling pathway, etc. The overall survival (OS) in the SLC7A11high group was significantly lower than those of SLC7A11low groups in NSCLC (HR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.02–1.31, p = 0.027). However, the progression-free survival (PFS) (HR = 1.17, 95% CI: 0.97–1.42, p = 0.098) and postprogression survival (PPS) (HR = 1.00, 95% CI: 0.78–1.29, p = 0.97) between SLC7A11high and SLC7A11low expression groups were not statistically different.
Conclusion
SLC7A11 was upregulated in NSCLC and correlated with the patient’s poor overall survival. SLC7A11 may be a potential target for NSCLC treatment through the ferroptosis pathway.

Abstract
Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease that characterized by aggressiveness features with increased metastasis and poor clinical prognosis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this highly malignant phenotype are still poorly understood. It has been well documented that the dysregulation of neural genes is profoundly implicated in cancer development and metastasis. Objectives: In the present study, the expression level of GABA receptor π subunit (GABRP) as the most up-regulated gene in TNBC and a hub node in the co-expression network were investigated. Methods: In this study, the importance of GABRP as the most up-regulated gene in TNBC was discovered through integrative analysis of multiple microarray expression datasets, containing about 1000 samples. Furthermore, the co-expression network analysis was constructed based on the up-regulated genes. Quantitative Real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to evaluate of the GABRP expression in 50 TNBC compared to 33 non-TNBC tumors. Results: According to the bioinformatics analysis, GABRP occupies a key position in the co-expression network which is mainly enriched in the nervous systems development. The qRT-PCR results indicated that up-regulation of GABRP was highly concordant with integrative analysis findings. Moreover, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that GABRP can be a potential biomarker to distinguish TNBC from non-TNBC samples. Conclusions: Our study revealed that up-regulation of GABRP is among the most remarkable molecular signature in TNBC and may play a critical role in tumorigenesis. The results may provide a deeper insight into molecular mechanisms underlying the brain metastasis in TNBC tumors and propose the potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Background: Cancer cell metastasis is facilitated by matrix-metalloproteinases through degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and is a major cause of mortality. One of the most common remedies for cancer is chemotherapy, which has many side effects. Therefore, it seems necessary to find a way to reduce the side effects of these drugs while maintaining their anticancer effects. Quercetin (que) is a natural substance that has been reported to have anticancer activities. Objectives: This study aims at evaluating the effect of que in combination with doxorubicin (dox) on the migration of the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line. Methods: The effects of que and dox on cell viability in 24h and 48 h was assessed by MTT assay. Also, the effects of the same drugs on the cancer cells migration were evaluated, using the wound healing assay. Lastly, the effects of que and dox were assessed on the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes. Results: The combination of 50 µM of que with 32 nM of dox was selected by CI comparison. The viability and migration of cancer cells and the gelatinases genes expression were decreased after treatment with individual drugs. The migration and the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes after treatment with the combination of que and dox was significantly reduced compared to the treatment with que and dox alone. Conclusions: Que inhibits the viability and migration of MDA-MB-231 cancer cells and synergistically enhances the effects of dox on the survival and migration of these cells. Hence, we propose this drug combination as a path for further research on breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
The Chinese herbal medicine Rosa roxburghii Tratt (RRT) is widely used in the treatment of malignant tumors, including gastric cancer (GC), but its pharmacological mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of this research was to identify the mechanisms of RRT on treating GC by using network pharmacology and molecular docking, combined with the analysis of differential expressed genes in GEO gene chips and TCGA database. We first defined the effective components of RRT and their potential targets for the treatment of GC, and identified core targets according to the topology analysis by constructing a protein-protein interaction network. Furthermore, molecular docking was used to verify the docking between the core active ingredients and the key targets. The results showed that the effect of RRT may be closely associated with multiple signal pathways, including pathways in cancer, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-AKT serine/threonine kinase (PI3K-Akt), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). It is suggested that RRT may play an effect by regulating hypoxia, improving the tumor microenvironment, inhibiting inflammatory reactions and promoting apoptosis. The mechanism of RRT in the treatment of GC is revealed here for the first time based on network pharmacology analysis, which may provide a new direction for further exploration of the mechanisms of RRT in the treatment of GC and a new perspective for research on anti-tumor drugs.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health problem, having recognized that in the next 20 years the number of diabetic patients in the world will increase to 642 million. DM exerts enormous repercussions on general health diabetic (especially derived from vascular, cardiac, renal, ocular, or neurological affectation). It entails in addition a high number of deaths directly related to the disease, as well as a high health care cost, estimated at $673 billion annually. Oral cavity is found among all the organs and systems affected in the course of DM. Important pathologies are developed with higher prevalence, such as periodontitis (PD), alterations in salivary flow, fungal infections, oral cancer, and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD). It has been proven that PD hinders the metabolic control of DM and that the presence of PD increases the possibility for developing diabetes. Despite the relevance of these oral pathologies, the knowledge of primary care physicians and diabetes specialists about the importance of oral health in diabetics, as well as the knowledge of dentists about the importance of DM for oral health of patients is scarce or non-existent. It is accepted that the correct management of diabetic patients requires interdisciplinary teams, including dentists. In this critical review, the existing knowledge and evidence-degree on the preventive, clinical, diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic aspects of oral diseases that occur with a significant frequency in the diabetic population are developed in extension.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 85% of primary liver cancer, the third most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Its incidence has been increasing in both men and women. In Western countries, high-calorie diets, mainly rich in carbohydrates such as fructose, represent a significant concern due to their repercussions on the population’s health. A high-fructose diet is related to the development of Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD), formerly named Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), and the progression of HCC as it potentiates the lipogenic pathway and the accumulation of lipids. However, fructose metabolism seems to be different between the stages of the disease, carrying out a metabolic reprogramming to favor the proliferation, inflammation, and metastatic properties of cancer cells in HCC. This review focuses on a better understanding of fructose metabolism in both scenarios: MAFLD and HCC.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer type in the world. The incidence and mortality of gastric cancer in China ranks second among malignant tumors in the country. At present, the main treatment method of gastric cancer is still surgical resection combined with chemotherapy. However, chemotherapy drugs will cause serious toxic and side effects on other normal tissues and cells. At the same time, chemotherapy drugs can make patients develop drug resistance and seriously affect the curative effect. By contrast, Chinese medicine has more advantages in the treatment of cancer. Dangshen (Radix Codonopsis), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been proved to be effective for the clinical treatment of gastric cancer. However, due to the complex components of Dangshen, the main active components and pharmacological mechanism for its treatment of gastric cancer are still unclear. In this study, the main active components and pharmacological mechanism of Radix Codonopsis in the treatment of gastric cancer were preliminarily explored based on network pharmacology and molecular docking. We obtained bioactive compounds and targets from Radix Codonopsis from the Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Database (TCMSP) and constructed the active ingredient-target network of Codonopsis pilosula. We then obtained targets related to gastric cancer from the disease database. The common targets of Radix Codonopsis and gastric cancer were the key target of Radix Codonopsis for the treatment of gastric cancer. Then, we used Metascapedatabase to conduct functional enrichment analysis on the key targets of Radix Codonopsis for the treatment of gastric cancer to clarify the mechanism of Radix Codonopsis for the treatment of gastric cancer. We constructed a network to screen the main bioactive compounds and therapeutic targets, assessed the prognostic value of the main target genes by survival analysis, and finally assessed the binding affinity of the main target genes and main bioactive compounds of Radix Codonopsis for the treatment of gastric cancer by molecular docking. The results showed that the main active compounds of Codonopsis pilosula in treating gastric cancer were luteolin and cryptotanshinone, which played a role in the treatment of gastric cancer through the multitarget and multipathway mechanism.

Abstract
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Recent animal studies suggest that thyroid hormone treatment improves HCC prognosis. The aim of this study was to describe the association between thyroid disease and HCC prognosis in humans. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We performed a nationwide cohort study including all persons with an HCC diagnosis from 2000 to 2018. Patients’ age, sex, HCC treatment, and diagnoses of thyrotoxicosis, nontoxic goiter, and myxedema were obtained from Danish national healthcare registries. We used regression models to examine the association between thyroid disease and mortality hazard and restricted mean survival time after HCC diagnosis, adjusting for confounding by sex and age. <b><i>Results:</i></b> We included 4,812 patients with HCC and 107 patients with thyroid disease. Median follow-up time was 5 months (total 5,985 person-years). The adjusted mortality hazard ratio was 0.68 (95% CI: 0.47–0.96) for thyrotoxicosis and 0.60 (95% CI: 0.41–0.88) for nontoxic goiter. The restricted mean survival time during the 5 years following HCC diagnosis was 6.8 months (95% CI: 1.1–12.6) longer for HCC patients with thyrotoxicosis than for patients without thyroid disease, and it was 6.9 months (95% CI: 0.9–12.9) longer for HCC patients with nontoxic goiter than for patients without thyroid disease. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> In this large nationwide cohort study, thyrotoxicosis and nontoxic goiter were associated with prolonged HCC survival.

Abstract
Of all cancers, pancreatic cancer has a significantly low rate of survival, mostly due to lack of early screening. Thus, once detected, pancreatic cancer is usually in later stages, reducing the likelihood of full recovery. The most common treatment strategy is chemotherapy, although several immunotherapeutic drugs show promising results in extending the patient’s lifespan. In this paper, we provide a validated mathematical model for the pancreatic cancer after fitting the parameter values, such as tumor growth rate, inverse carrying capacity, activation and decay rate of pancreatic stellate cells, with the use of the experimental data presented by Cioffi et al. cioffi2015inhibition For treatments with the chemotherapeutic drugs, Abraxane and Gemcitabine, and the immunotherapeutic drug, Anti-CD47, we modified the model accurately and compared the simulation results with the experimental data not only to model pancreatic cancer treatment correctly but also to move forward with other drug trials. Then, we include the cancer stem cells, which are known to initiate tumors and cause a relapse post-chemotherapy, per cancer stem cell hypothesis so that cancer progression can be assessed based on this phenomenon. In addition, we investigate optimal drug protocols. We find out that the most effective treatment is dual therapy due to extending survival time when compared to other drugs. Moreover, this study reveals that drug dose is more effectual than frequency of drug injection on account of different treatment scheduling with the same dose over a week. The model could be a starting point to investigate pancreatic cancer progression based on cancer stem cell hypothesis and shed light on novel drug discoveries.

Abstract
Abstract Background: N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation of eukaryotic mRNA is involved in the progression of various tumors. We aimed to investigate m6A-related genes and m6A regulators in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their association with prognosis in
HCC.Methods: We downloaded liver cancer sample data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the International Cancer Genome Consortium database. A total of 21 m6A regulators and 1258 m6A-related genes were then analyzed by consensus clustering, Spearman’s correlation, GO,
KEGG, LASSO Cox regression, and univariate Cox regression analyses. Finally, we constructed a risk prognostic model.Results: We obtained 192 candidate m6A-related genes and 3 m6A regulators, including YTHDF1, YTHDF2, and YTHDC1. The expression of these genes and regulators differed
significantly in different stages of HCC. Based on Cox regression analysis, 19 of 98 m6A-related prognostic genes were obtained to construct a risk score model. The 1- and 3-year area under the curves (AUCs) among HCC patients were greater than 0.7. Finally, based on analysis of mutation differences
between high- and low-risk score groups, we determined that TP53 had the highest mutation frequency in the high-risk HCC patient group, whereas titin (TTN) had the highest mutation frequency in the low-risk HCC patient group.Conclusion: This study comprehensively analyzed
m6A regulators and m6A-related genes through an integrated bioinformatic analysis, including expression, clustering, protein‐protein interaction, and prognosis, thus providing novel insights into the roles of m6A regulators and m6A-related genes in HCC.

Abstract
Abstract
In the present work, zinc levels were measured in scalp hair and fingernails in order to identify potential risk factors for breast cancer. The samples were collected from 40 Algerian breast cancer female patients and from 20 normal subjects matching the same age range. The concentration of zinc was analyzed using Instrumental neutron activation analysis technique (INAA). In scalp hair samples it was found in the range 119–792 μg/g for the normal subjects and in the range 82–806 μg/g for the patients, with an increase rate of 10.9%. The range of concentration of zinc in fingernails was found between 89 and 247 μg/g for normal subjects and between 75 and 276 μg/g for the patients with an increase rate of 2.5%. The influence of age on zinc concentration was also investigated. The obtained results show some consistency with those obtained by other groups.

Abstract
Ceramide exerts crucial effect on inducing tumor cell apoptosis, while its insolublility limits the application in treating tumors. In this study, we used NGO-PEG-PEI (NPP) and C6-NPP/Cer (NPP/C) as method to explore NPP/C’s effect and its anti-tumor ability on breast cancer.
Confocal microscopy was used to detect the transfection efficiency in tumor cells. Breast cancer cells were treated with C6-NGO-PEG-PEI solution (control group) or NPP/C followed by analysis of cell proliferation and apoptosis by flow cytometry. C6-ceramide solution (control group) or NPP/C
was administrated into nude mice with tumor followed by measuring tumor volume and size as well as cell proliferation and apoptosis. NGO-PEG-PEI could significantly enhance cell intake and inhibit cell proliferation and promote apoptosis. In vivo transplantation tumor model experiments
showed that NPP/C could decrease tumor growth, slow down the multiplication rate and accelerate apoptosis. In conclusion, Ceramide-graphene oxide can inhibit tumor growth by inhibiting tumor cell growth and promoting cell apoptosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE BIM activation is essential for epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)–triggered apoptosis in EGFR-mutant non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A deletion in the intron two of the BIM gene results in generation of alternatively spliced isoforms that impairs their apoptotic response to TKIs, conferring the NSCLC cells intrinsic resistance to these medications. Patients with both alterations have poor clinical evolution. The current study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and tolerability of EGFR-TKIs plus bevacizumab (Bev) versus EGFR-TKIs alone as first-line treatment in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations and BIM deletions ( BIMdel). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted. BIMdel was detected using polymerase chain reaction analysis and direct sequencing of DNA. BIM protein expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry, and BIM mRNA levels by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Clinical characteristics, overall survival, progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and treatment-related adverse events were compared between both groups. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were included; 15 received EGFR-TKIs, and 18 received EGFR-TKIs plus Bev. The median age was 63 years, with a majority of recruited female patients. All included individuals had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of 2 or less. The addition of Bev resulted in a significantly higher ORR (94.4% v 40%, P > .001). Median PFS was longer with the use of the combination therapy (11.12 v 7.87 months; P = .001). Median overall survival tended to be longer in the EGFR-TKIs plus Bev (30.9 v 25.4 months; P = .06) but failed to reach statistical significance. Response in terms of both partial and complete as well as overall favorably affected PFS. CONCLUSION EGFR-TKIs plus Bev conferred a significantly higher ORR and PFS in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutation and BIMdel. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) and sinapic acid (SA) are 2 components separately isolated from 2 Asian medicinal plants, Hydnophytum formicarum Jack and Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. The antitumor activities of them were worth exploring, therefore, we examined their antitumor activities in A549, HCT116, HeLa, and Colo320 cancer cell lines by means of WST-1 assay. The results show that Tan IIA exerted far higher (IC50 from 1.0 ± 0.0 to 166.3 ± 24.0 µg/mL) antiproliferative activities than SA (IC50 from 2236.3 ± 484.1 to >10 000.0 µg/mL). Of the 4 cell lines, A549 cells were the most sensitive to Tan IIA; thus, we used Western blotting to explore the cytotoxic mechanisms of Tan IIA in A549 cells and found that they rely on simultaneous induction of apoptosis and necroptosis in the cells. Apoptosis was hallmarked by the induction of cleaved caspase-3 by Tan IIA and necroptosis by the necroptotic marker proteins cyclophilin A and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), as well as increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities. The necroptotic effect was confirmed by the necroptosis inhibitor necrostatin-1 (Nec-1), which eliminated these effects and restored cell survival rates. The levels of cyclophilin A decreased in response to the pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk, and those of cleaved caspase-3 decreased in response to Nec-1. Conclusively, Tan IIA has the potential to prevent lung cancer and the mechanism seems to be apoptosis and necroptosis, of which the relationship is mutually interdependent. This is the first report of Tan IIA eliciting necroptosis in A549 cells. Tan IIA may be used for necroptosis-based cancer therapy, especially to overcome apoptosis resistance.

Abstract
Many marine alkaloids possess interesting structures and antitumor activities. Thus, we have synthesized (2 E,4 E)-4-arylidene-2-styryl-5-oxopyrrolidine derivatives of the marine alkaloids, rhopaladins A–D. The cytotoxicities of these derivatives against C-33A, CaSki, SiHa, HeLa, HepG2, and LO2 cells are evaluated by MTT assays. The results show that (2 E,4 E)-2-(4-chlorostyryl)-4-benzylidene- N-cyclohexyl-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamide significantly inhibits cancer cell proliferation, with IC50 values against C-33A, CaSki, SiHa, HeLa, and HepG2 cells of 5.56, 9.15, 12.5, 21.4, and 14.5 μM, respectively, and an IC50 value of 86.77 μM against the normal LO2 cell line.

Abstract
Background. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in various cancers. However, the potential role of miR-2355-5p in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) remains unclear. Methods. Bioinformatics methods were implemented to find the candidate target gene of miR-2355-5p. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to detect RNA expression levels of miR-2355-5p and NISCH, while western blot was carried out for the detection of protein levels of NISCH and cell cycle-related biomarkers. CCK-8, EdU staining, and flow cytometry were employed to measure cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. Dual-luciferase assay and RNA pulldown were conducted to verify the binding relationship between miR-2355-5p and NISCH. Results. The expression levels of miR-2355-5p and NISCH were, respectively, higher and lower in HNSC tissues than those in normal adjacent tissues. The transfection of the miR-2355-5p inhibitor suppressed cell proliferation by arresting the cells at the G1/S transition. The results of luciferase activity and RNA pulldown assays indicated that miR-2355-5p directly targeted the NISCH 3′-untranslated region. Furthermore, the effects of miR-2355-5p inhibition on cell proliferation were reversed after treatment with siRNA against NISCH. Conclusion. In summary, our findings indicate that miR-2355-5p promotes cell cycle progression in HNSC by targeting NISCH. Hence, targeting miR-2355-5p could be a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of HNSC

Abstract
Background: Urban liveability is a multidimensional concept associated with many domains of human health. Objectives: This study aimed at investigating the association between urban liveability and cancer incidence in Iran. Methods: The data of provincial-level urban liveability were obtained from reliable sources. The data of cancer incidence were inquired from the population-based cancer registry of the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education in 2016. Urban liveability scores were determined in all provinces of Iran by utilizing the Global Liveable City Index (GLCI) method. Negative binomial Poisson regression was used to examine the relationship between urban liveability and cancer incidence. Results: Provinces with a higher urban liveability had a higher likelihood of cancer incidence. Higher economic score was significantly associated with higher incidence in colorectal (IRR = 1.49, P = 0.005), liver (IRR = 1.48, P = 0.002), leukemia (IRR = 1.39, P = 0.005), lung (IRR = 1.39, P = 0.039), breast (IRR = 1.38, P = 0.011), and prostate cancers (IRR = 2.11, P < 0.001). Also, provinces with higher environmental friendliness and sustainability had significantly more stomach (IRR = 1.53, P = 0.004), colorectal (1.79, P < 0.001), lung (IRR = 1.43, P = 0.014), and prostate (IRR = 1.50, P = 0.032) cancer incidence. Provinces with higher political governance had significantly more breast cancer (IRR = 1.34, P = 0.002) and leukemia (IRR = 1.30, P = 0.016) incidence rates. Conclusions: Along with the development of urban liveability, the incidence of cancers is increasing in Iran. Cancer control strategies should be implemented especially in settings with higher urbanization.

Abstract
The introduction of next generation sequencing techniques has enabled the characterization of the urinary tract microbiome, which resulted in the rejection of the long-held notion of urinary bladder sterility. Since the discovery and confirmation of the human bladder microbiome, an increasing number of studies have defined this microbial community and understand better its relationship to urinary pathologies. The composition of microbial communities in the urinary tract is linked to a variety of urinary diseases. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of current information about the urinary microbiome and diseases as well as the development of novel treatment methods.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, a novel CT contrast agent used by rectal administration is developed for targeting intestinal imaging. Iopamidol, an iodinated contrast agent, is loaded in chitosan (CS) nanospheres modified by Anti-5-HT3R (AH) antibody. The obtained AH-CS-I nanospheres (AH-CS-I Ns) would combine to 5-HT3 receptors highly expressed on the gastrointestinal mucosal, enhancing the intestinal-targeting ability of the contrast agent. The AH-CS-I Ns were administered by the rectal route for intestinal CT imaging, and FITC-labeled AH-CS-I Ns were prepared for investigating the in vivo distribution of the contrast agent. As a result, obvious contrast enhancement could still be observed at 6 h post administration because of the poorly absorption of enteral AH-CS-I Ns. Unlike the intravascularly administered agents, AH-CS-I Ns would not accumulate in the kidney and induce adverse reactions. Therefore, this technology has potential applications in the examination of intestinal diseases and could reduce the side effect of commercial iopamidol.

Abstract
Introducción. El cáncer de pulmón es la primera causa de mortalidad por cáncer a nivel mundial, lo que hace que sea considerado un problema de salud pública. Existen diferentes hallazgos imagenológicos que hacen sospechar la presencia de cáncer de pulmón, uno de los cuales son los nódulos pulmonares; sin embargo, estos también pueden verse en entidades benignas.
Métodos. Se incluyeron 66 pacientes con biopsia de nódulo pulmonar en la Clínica Reina Sofía, en la ciudad de Bogotá, D.C., Colombia, entre el 1° de marzo del 2017 y el 28 de febrero del 2020. Se analizaron las características demográficas de los pacientes, las características morfológicas e histopatológicas de los nódulos pulmonares y la correlación entre sus características imagenológicas e histopatológicas.
Resultados. El 69,2 % de los nódulos estudiados tenían etiología maligna, de estos el 55,5 % era de origen metástasico y el 44,5 % eran neoplasias primarias de pulmón, con patrón sólido en el 70,6 % de los casos. El patrón histológico más frecuente fue adenocarcinoma. Respecto a las características radiológicas, en su mayoría los nódulos malignos medían de 1 a 2 cm, de morfología lisa y distribución múltiple, localizados en lóbulos superiores.
Conclusiones. La caracterización de los nódulos pulmonares brinda información relevante que orienta sobre los diagnósticos más frecuentes en nuestro medio, cuando se estudian nódulos sospechosos encontrados incidentalmente o en el seguimiento de otro tumor. Como el nódulo es la manifestación del cáncer temprano del pulmón, establecer programas de tamización que permitan el diagnóstico oportuno, es hoy día una imperiosa necesidad, para reducir la mortalidad.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 is associated with a high
mortality rate, though outcomes of the different lung compliance phenotypes are unclear. We aimed to
measure lung compliance and examine other factors associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients
with ARDS.
Methods: Adult patients with COVID-19 ARDS who required invasive mechanical ventilation at 8
hospitals in Singapore were prospectively enrolled. Factors associated with both mortality and differences
between high (<40mL/cm H2O) and low (<40mL/cm H2O) compliance were analysed.
Results: A total of 102 patients with COVID-19 who required invasive mechanical ventilation were
analysed; 15 (14.7%) did not survive. Non-survivors were older (median 70 years, interquartile
range [IQR] 67–75 versus median 61 years, IQR 52–66; P<0.01), and required a longer duration of
ventilation (26 days, IQR 12–27 vs 8 days, IQR 5–15; P<0.01) and intensive care unit support
(26 days, IQR 11–30 vs 11.5 days, IQR 7–17.3; P=0.01), with a higher incidence of acute kidney injury
(15 patients [100%] vs 40 patients [46%]; P<0.01). There were 67 patients who had lung compliance
data; 24 (35.8%) were classified as having high compliance and 43 (64.2%) as having low compliance.
Mortality was higher in patients with high compliance (33.3% vs 11.6%; P=0.03), and was associated
with a drop in compliance at day 7 (-9.3mL/cm H2O (IQR -4.5 to -15.4) vs 0.2mL/cm H2O (4.7 to -5.2)
P=0.04).
Conclusion: COVID-19 ARDS patients with higher compliance on the day of intubation and a
longitudinal decrease over time had a higher risk of death.
Keywords: ARDS, COVID-19-associated respiratory failure, high-flow nasal cannula therapy, HFNC,

Abstract
The concept of invasion is useful across a broad range of contexts, spanning from the fine scale landscape of cancer tumors up to the broader landscape of ecosystems. Invasion biology provides extraordinary opportunities for studying the mechanistic basis of contemporary evolution at the molecular level. Although the field of invasion genetics was established in ecology and evolution more than 50 years ago, there is still a limited understanding of how genomic level processes translate into invasive phenotypes across different taxa in response to complex environmental conditions. This is largely because the study of most invasive species is limited by information about complex genome level processes. We lack good reference genomes for most species. Rigorous studies to examine genomic processes are generally too costly. On the contrary, cancer studies are fortified with extensive resources for studying genome level dynamics and the interactions among genetic and non-genetic mechanisms. Extensive analysis of primary tumors and metastatic samples have revealed the importance of several genomic mechanisms including higher mutation rates, specific types of mutations, aneuploidy or whole genome doubling and non-genetic effects. Metastatic sites can be directly compared to primary tumor cell counterparts. At the same time, clonal dynamics shape the genomics and evolution of metastatic cancers. Clonal diversity varies by cancer type, and the tumors’ donor and recipient tissues. Still, the cancer research community has been unable to identify any common events that provide a universal predictor of “metastatic potential” which parallels findings in evolutionary ecology. Instead, invasion in cancer studies depends strongly on context, including order of events and clonal composition. The detailed studies of the behavior of a variety of human cancers promises to inform our understanding of genome level dynamics in the diversity of invasive species and provide novel insights for management.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequently occurring tumor in the human population. CRCs are usually adenocarcinomatous and originate as a polyp on the inner wall of the colon or rectum which may become malignant in the due course of time. Although the therapeutic options of CRC are limited, the early diagnosis of CRC may play an important role in preventive and therapeutic interventions to decrease the mortality rate. The CRC-affected tissues exhibit several molecular markers that may be exploited as the novel strategy to develop newer approaches for the treatment of the disease. Nanotechnology consists of a wide array of innovative and astonishing nanomaterials with both diagnostics and therapeutic potential. Several nanomaterials and nano formulations such as Carbon nanotubes, Dendrimer, Liposomes, Silica Nanoparticles, Gold nanoparticles, Metal-organic frameworks, Core-shell polymeric nano-formulations, Nano-emulsion System, etc can be used to targeted anticancer drug delivery and diagnostic purposes in CRC. The light-sensitive photosensitizer drugs loaded gold and silica nanoparticles can be used to diagnose as well as the killing of CRC cells by the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to cancer cells. This review is focused on the recent advancement of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of CRC.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of radiation and tooth bleaching on the physical and morphological properties of enamel and dentin on permanent teeth.Materials and Methods: Eighty fresh, non-carious third molars were used in this study. Before cutting the crown in half, the teeth samples were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups by using a lottery method. The first group (n = 20) underwent standard radiation protocol (2 Gy/fraction/day, 5 days/week) with bleaching treatment afterward using 16% carbamide peroxide gel, the second group (n = 20) underwent standard radiation protocol with afterward bleaching treatment using 38% hydrogen peroxide, the third group (n = 20) underwent a short, one strong, experimental dose of 70 Gy with afterward bleaching treatment using 16% carbamide peroxide gel, and the fourth group (n = 20) underwent one strong, experimental dose of 70 Gy with afterward bleaching treatment using 38% hydrogen peroxide gel. Groups 5–8 (n = 20) served as control as they underwent only bleaching treatment. Vickers microhardness and surface roughness were performed before (initial) and after irradiation and before bleaching or after only bleaching. The effects of irradiation and bleaching on microhardness (or roughness) of enamel and dentin were analyzed in the repeated-measures ANOVA model.Results: Enamel microhardness after experimental single 70-Gy irradiation or after standard radiation protocol and bleaching with 16 or 38% gel was not statistically significant from microhardness in the control group (p > 0.05). There was a statistically significantly greater reduction in the average microhardness of enamel and dentin during bleaching with 38% gel compared to 16% for both radiation protocols (p < 0.001). After experimental 70-Gy irradiation and bleaching, a 16% statistically significant increase in surface roughness was found for enamel (p = 0.006) and dentin (p = 0.018), while this was not recorded for 38% gel. There was a statistically significantly greater increase in the average roughness of enamel and dentin during bleaching with 38% gel compared to 16% (p < 0.001) for both radiation protocols.Conclusions: Directly induced radiation leads to potential damage of hard dental tissues, which can be further damaged by additional bleaching. If teeth whitening is necessary after irradiation, it is suggested to use lower concentrations of whitening gels.

Abstract
Objetivo: Validar la escala QLQ C15 PAL, para evaluar calidad de vida en pacientes en cuidados paliativos, al español colombiano, considerando un análisis psicométrico desde la teoría clásica de los test. Método: Muestra por conveniencia de 155 pacientes oncológicos atendidos por el Programa de Cuidados Paliativos de un grupo de centros hospitalarios en las ciudades de Bogotá y Cali en Colombia. Para estimar la validez de constructo, se utilizó el análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) con rotación varimax; posteriormente, se usaron cargas factoriales para estimar el coeficiente Omega y posteriormente el análisis de Rash reconocido Análisis de la Teoría de la respuesta al ítem (TRI). El análisis fue realizado en Winsteps 2.80. Resultados: Todas las correlaciones son significativas entre los ítems de la escala Funcionamiento Global (FG) con el puntaje total obtenido en esta escala y el puntaje total del QLQ PAL-15; la misma situación ocurre con los ítems de la escala Funcionamiento Emocional (FE) que correlaciona de modo directamente proporcional y con una magnitud alta con el puntaje total del QLQ PAL-15. En cuanto al total de la escala, existe un adecuado ajuste para los ítems ya que sus valores Infit: (IMNSQ 0,99; ZSDT: -0,3) y Outfit (OMNSQ 1,02; ZSDT-0,2) se encuentran dentro de los rangos establecidos como parámetros de ajuste. Conclusiones: La validación del EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL demostró propiedades psicométricas satisfactorias al aplicarse en pacientes con enfermedad oncológica avanzada en Colombia. Se plantea para estudios posteriores realizar ajuste en la redacción de los ítems 7,11 y 13 para que estos discriminen de manera precisa el rasgo que pretenden medir.

Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and 14.2% of deaths in Iranian women were due to breast cancer. Objectives: The present study aimed at investigating the survival of females with breast cancer diagnosed over 14 years and its related factors in Kerman Province. Methods: This is a longitudinal study. Information about 2851 females diagnosed with breast cancer was inquired from the Cancer Registry of Kerman University of Medical Sciences from March 2001 to March 2015. Data analysis was performed by Stata 14 and SPSS 22. Results: Totally, 8511 women diagnosed with breast cancer were enrolled in this study. The median survival time among patients with grade 3 at diagnosis was 0.51 of patients with grade 1 (P = 0.016). The median survival time among patients with stage 4 at diagnosis was 0.11 of patients with stages 0 and 1 (P < 0.001). The median survival time among post-menopause patients at diagnosis was 0.65 of pre-menopause patients (P = 0.014). The median survival time among patients with secondary metastasis was 0.22 of patients without it (P < 0.001) and the median survival time among patients with hormonotherapy was 1.52 of patients without this treatment (P = 0.013). Conclusions: Early diagnosis can improve the survival of patients with breast cancer. Periodic checkups especially in menopause ages are recommended. Hormone therapy has been successful in increasing patients’ survival.

Abstract
Human melanoma cells are known as one of the most aggressive cancer cells, and consequently, melanoma is one of the most incurable cancer diseases. There is intense activity in research and development of potential medicines for malignant diseases, including alternative forms of remedies. Therefore, the purpose of our work was testing extracts from the common houseleek (Sempervivum tectorum) grown in Slovenia to establish its impact on human melanoma cells. Namely, we wanted to verify if the extracts inhibit growth of malignant cells and their metabolic activity. Soxhlet, cold solvent, ultrasound, and supercritical extraction methods were applied to obtain S. tectorum extracts. Polyphenols and proanthocyanins content in acquired extracts was determined as well as their antioxidative potential. For a relevant comparison, Chinese (CHI) dried and Slovenian (SLO) lyophilized S. tectorum was used. Results showed that the highest contents of polyphenols and proanthocyanins were yielded from lyophilized material, which also had the highest antioxidative potential. The focus of our work was on analysis of possible inhibition effects of the extracts on human melanoma cells since no past studies were found regarding the possible effects of S. tectorum on metabolic activity of WM-266-4. We established that in a 24-h incubation period, the extracts inhibited metabolic activity of the cells at their concentrations of 20, 10, 4, 2, 1, 0.2, and 0.02 mg/mL. Extract obtained from SLO S. tectorum (ultrasound extraction with acetone as a solvent), which showed promising results of inhibitory effect on the mentioned cells, was further described since the local plant was the focus of our study. CHI S. tectorum extract (Soxhlet extraction with ehtanol:water mixture = 1:1 as a solvent) showed the highest inhibitory effect on human melanoma cells WM-266-4, although both obtained extracts are suitable for their growth inhibition of this specific cell line. Our results suggest inhibitory ability of S. tectorum extracts on the metabolic activity of WM-266-4 metastatic cell line, suggesting their potential use as an anticancer agent.

Abstract
Frizzled7 activates β-catenin-dependent and β-catenin-independent Wnt signalling pathways, is highly conserved through evolution from the ancient phylum hydra to man, plays essential roles in stem cells, tissue homeostasis and regeneration in the adult, and is upregulated in diverse cancers. Much of what is known about the core components of the Wnt signalling pathways was derived from studying the function of Frizzled7 orthologues in the development of lower organism. As we interrogate Frizzled7 signalling and function for therapeutic targeting in cancer, it is timely to revisit lower organisms to gain insight into the context dependent and dynamic nature of Wnt signalling for effective drug design.

Abstract
Background: This study investigated the impact of serum cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1) level on the clinical outcomes of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with sorafenib (SOR) or lenvatinib (LEN). Methods: A total of 71 cases with unresectable HCC taking SOR or LEN were included. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the prognostic factors in patients taking SOR or LEN. Results: Among the 71 patients taking SOR or LEN, the frequency of cases showing high CYFRA21-1 levels after administration increased compared to before the administration. There was no association between the CYFRA21-1 level and the result of treatment response using modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) 12 weeks after the administration. Univariate analysis identified a maximum intrahepatic tumor diameter of 70 mm or more, extrahepatic metastasis, baseline alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) ≥ 2000 ng/mL, baseline AFP-L3 index ≥ 15%, baseline des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) ≥ 1000 mAU/mL, baseline CYFRA21-1 > 3.5 ng/mL, 12-week mRECIST progressive disease (PD), 12-week DCP ratio ≥ 4, 12-week CYFRA21-1 ratio ≥ 2, administration period less than 12 weeks, ALBI grade 3 at PD, and no additional treatment after discontinuation of SOR/LEN as prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis revealed that AFP-L3 index ≥ 15%, 12-week mRECIST PD, 12-week DCP ratio ≥ 4, 12-week CYFRA21-1 ratio ≥ 2, administration period less than 12 weeks, and no additional treatment after discontinuation of SOR/LEN were independent factors. Conclusions: Patients with a high CYFRA21-1 level at baseline tend to have poor prognosis, and patients with a high CYFRA21-1 ratio 12 weeks after administration have poor prognosis. Serum CYFRA21-1 measurement may have additional effects on prognostic prediction, and it may be necessary to pay close attention to the transition to the next HCC treatment in cases whose CYFRA21-1 level is high.

Abstract
Many industrialized areas of the world demand for the nutraceuticals due to rapidly growing health risks linked with higher consumption of processed foods. Tateishi Kazu vegetable soup or miracle soup is widely consumed around the world because of its nutraceutical properties. In the current research, the Tateishi Kazu vegetable soup was made from both organic and nonorganic sources, such as carrot, burdock root, shiitake mushroom, daikon radish, and radish leaves. We analyzed colour, antioxidant properties, cell viability, and mineral and free amino acid contents of both soups. The L
a
b and pH values revealed no drastic changes in the colour of the organic soup stored for 96 hours. The essential amino acids were present in higher amounts in an organic soup compared to the nonorganic soup. Similarly, the total mineral contents of the organic soup were higher than the nonorganic soup; however, potassium was the major mineral in both soups. Higher phenolic contents with elevated 2,2-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were noticed in organic soup. Moreover, both soups showed considerable reduction in cell viability of HepG2 cells tested through the MTT assay. From the present study, we concluded that the organic Tateishi Kazu vegetable soup can be of great importance to food industry due to the presence of viable nutrients and pharmacological properties.
