Exosomes can be secreted by nearly all cells, containing cell-specific proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and other components. They play a crucial role in transmitting signal molecules to target cells, thereby influencing their biological functions. The investigation of exosomes’ role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has garnered significant attention. As exosome content accurately reflects the characteristics of their cell of origin, enabling the differentiation between normal and diseased tissues, and considering their widespread presence in the human body and ease of accessibility, exosomes hold promise as potential biomarkers for the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of HCC. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the potential biological effects of exosomal miRNAs in the development of HCC and explores the associated roles of exosomes in this context.","PeriodicalId":73834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of modern medical oncology","volume":" 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139138720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several studies have shown pre-surgery instruction to be beneficial. However, as information about the experience of patients receiving pre-surgery instruction is limited, this case series aims to describe the experience of nine individual women who received newly developed, updated, self-management physical therapy (PT) instruction before BC surgery. Methods: Participant interviews were conducted by telephone using a list of questions prepared in advance about their personal experience. Medical files provided demographic and medical data. Interviews were performed by one physical therapist, transcribed, and analysed by two co-authors. Similarities and differences between transcripts were summarized. Results: Most participants found the instruction content to be easily understood and beneficial. They also expressed the value of receiving instruction before BC surgery. Nine felt that the instruction should be routinely provided. Criticism was mainly for lack of instruction regarding pain control, dealing with exercise fear avoidance, and that women unfamiliar with self-management and independent exercise may benefit less. Conclusion: Most participants found the new instruction understandable and beneficial when provided pre-surgery. However, this may not be suitable practice for all women as some may need personalized post-surgery instruction. Therefore, in addition to pre-surgical instruction provision, a post BC surgery PT visit would identify those requiring individualized instruction. Information about outpatient PT services should be added to pre-surgery instruction. Future studies should examine content and provision timing in a large sample of participants.","PeriodicalId":73834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of modern medical oncology","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139223734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: To analyze the correlation among LNC, LNR, and clinicopathological features including systemic inflammatory response (SIR) in patients undergoing colon cancer surgery. To provide a new evaluation idea for clinicians to evaluate the prognosis of colon cancer surgery. The methods of this study was to retrospectively analyze the clinical data of patients who underwent colon cancer resection at the Affiliated Bozhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University from August 1, 2013 to August 1, 2023. LNC (<12 / ≥12) and LNR (<0.25 / ≥0.25) were analyzed using Chi-square test and logistic regression, as well as clinicopathological characteristics including modified Glasgow Prognostic Score, C-reactive protein and albumin, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio. Univariate and multifactorial analyses were performed to analyze the relationship between LNR (<0.25 / ≥0.25) and clinicopathological characteristics and LNC≥12. Results: In multifactorial analysis, significant differences were found between T stage, N stage, LNR (≥0.25), luminal / open, and COPD (P<0.05). Among patients with LNC≥12 and positive lymph nodes, multivariate analysis showed that elevated LNR (≥0.25) was linked to T stage, NLR, and peritoneal invasion. Conclusion: LNC and LNR were unrelated with SIR labeling. The LNC and LNR, on the reverse hand, are directly related. In quality surgical and pathologic practice, when compared to N stage, LNR offers a better prognostic value for patients having surgery for colon cancer.The findings of this study demonstrate that LNR is dependent on LNC and has prognostic value in colon cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":73834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of modern medical oncology","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135618283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AML is a prevalent malignant bone marrow disorder with a significant impact on adult populations. Despite existing knowledge about certain prognostic genes, a holistic model considering both genomic and clinical variables for assessing overall survival is lacking. This research endeavors to fill this gap by analyzing gene expression profiles and clinical attributes from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, with a focus on determining the influence of these factors on AML patient survival by incorporating disease-associated genes sourced from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway database. Methods: We conducted an analysis of complete gene expression profiles and clinical data from 173 AML patients within the TCGA database. Utilizing advanced statistical techniques, we explored the relationships between gene expression levels, clinical features, and patient survival. Disease-related genes identified from the KEGG pathway database were integrated into the analysis to enhance the model’s predictive power. Cox proportional hazards regression and machine learning algorithms were employed to develop and optimize the prognostic model. Results: Our analysis revealed substantial insights into the impact of gene expression patterns and clinical attributes on the survival of AML patients. By incorporating disease-associated genes from the KEGG pathway database, we observed a notable enhancement in the model’s ability to predict survival outcomes. The optimized prognostic model successfully integrated both genomic and clinical factors, providing a more accurate assessment of AML patient survival. Conclusion: This study underscores the significance of combining genomic and clinical factors in predicting survival outcomes for AML patients. Our comprehensive prognostic model, enriched by disease-related genes from the KEGG pathway database, offers an innovative approach to enhancing the accuracy of survival predictions. By shedding light on the intricate interplay between gene expression profiles and clinical attributes, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of AML prognosis and paves the way for more effective personalized treatment strategies.","PeriodicalId":73834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of modern medical oncology","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135251046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent findings challenge this perspective, revealing unexpected ribosome heterogeneity within cells, thus proposing a novel mechanism for diversifying protein synthesis. This concept parallels the “histone code” hypothesis, leading to the proposition of a “ribosome code” that suggests variations in ribosomal protein stoichiometry, paralogs, and modifications may preferentially translate certain mRNA populations. The role of ribosome heterogeneity in cancer pathogenesis, however, remains a subject of debate. Evidence suggests that alterations in ribosome composition, structure, and activity could influence abnormal protein synthesis, thus contributing to tumorigenesis. This is supported by the correlation between enhanced ribosome biogenesis, protein synthesis, and tumor growth, as well as the observed modifications in cancer ribosomes. Examining the nuances of ribosome heterogeneity, its influence on translational biases, and implications for tumor biology could significantly deepen our understanding of cancer’s molecular landscape, potentially unveiling novel therapeutic targets.","PeriodicalId":73834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of modern medical oncology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46494977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
