Objective To explore the prognosis-related genes of lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD)and establish a prognostic prediction model for LUAD.Methods The differentially expressed genes of LUAD tissues and adjacent normal tissues in the GSE43458,GSE7670,and GSE140797 datasets were screened.The protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis,gene ontology(GO)function,Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)signaling pathway enrichment analyses,least absolute shrinkage and selection operator for prognosis coefficient screening,disease-specific survival analysis,Cox regression analysis,and gene correlation analysis were performed.Independent prognostic genes of LUAD were screened from the differential genes,and a prognostic prediction model of LUAD was established.The expression of independent prognostic genes was analyzed,and the predictive model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The GSE68465 data set was used as an external validation set to verify the predictive model.Results There were 197 up-regulated differential genes and 77 down-regulated differential genes in LUAD and adjacent normal tissues common to the three datasets.Through stepwise screening,two genes,IL7R and SLC2A1,were identified as independent prognostic factors for LUAD.IL7R was an independent protective factor,while the SLC2A1 was an independent risk factor.A prediction model for curve was built with IL7R and SLC2A1.The prediction model for LUAD constructed with IL7R and SLC2A1 is as follows:Risk score=(-0.694)×expression level of IL7R+0.763×expression level of SLC2A1.Conclusion This study screened out IL7R as an independent prognostic protective factor for LUDA,and SLC2A1 as an independent prognostic risk factor for LUAD.The LUDA prediction model constructed based on these two genes has good predictive ability and generalization ability,which can provide references for the research and clinical individualized treatment of LUAD.

Objective:To investigate the effect of blood lipids and statins use on the outcome of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with cerebral microbleeds (CMBs).Methods:Consecutive AIS patients with CMBs hospitalized at the First People's Hospital of Taicang, Jiangsu Province from July 2023 to June 2024 were included retrospectively. At 3 months after onset, the modified Rankin Scale was used for outcome assessment. 0-2 was defined as good outcome and >2 was defined as poor outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent influencing factors for poor outcome. Results:A total of 110 AIS patients with CMBs were enrolled, including 72 males (65.5%), aged 68.04±3.12 years. Thirty patients (27.3%) had poor outcome. Univariate analysis showed that age, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the proportion of patients with hypertension and diabetes in poor outcome group were significantly higher than those in good outcome group, while baseline high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and the proportion of patients using statins before onset were significantly lower than those in good outcome group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [ OR] 1.309, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.007-1.702; P=0.044), the baseline NIHSS score ( OR 1.541, 95% CI 1.143-2.078; P=0.005) and high triglycerides ( OR 5.150, 95% CI 2.150-8.717; P=0.023) were the independent risk factors for poor outcome, while high high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( OR 0.001, 95% CI 0.001-0.034; P<0.001) and statins use ( OR 0.231, 95% CI 0.046-0.558; P=0.019) were the independent protective factors for good outcome. Conclusions:Blood lipid and statins use are independent influencing factors for the outcome of AIS patients with CMBs. The use of statins before onset is associated with a lower risk of poor outcome in AIS patients with CMBs.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C0), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug-drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.
