BACKGROUND: Trachoma is an eye disease caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis. This infection causes papillary and/or follicular inflammation of the tarsal conjunctiva referred to as active trachoma. Active trachoma prevalence among 1 to 9 years old children is 27.2% in Fogera district (study area). Many people still require the implementation of the face cleanliness components of the SAFE strategy. Even if face cleanness is an important component to prevent trachoma, there is limited research done on this area...

PURPOSE: This study aims to construct a machine learning model that can recognize preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative high-risk indicators and predict the onset of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 1239 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer were enrolled in this retrospective study, among whom 107 patients developed VTE after surgery. We collected 42 characteristic variables of gastric cancer patients from the database of Wuxi People's Hospital and Wuxi Second People's Hospital between 2010 and 2020, including patients' demographic characteristics, chronic medical history, laboratory test characteristics, surgical information, and patients' postoperative conditions...

REVIEW
Yezhou Qian, Zhangli Fei, Feige Nian
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality worldwide. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as a systemic inflammatory disease, affecting 0.5-1.0% of the adult population, is associated with increased incidence of cardiac arrhythmias such as AF. Several epidemiologic studies find that the risk of AF is increased in RA when compared with the general population. Other studies are inconsistent. Considering that inflammation plays an important role in AF, RA may be involved in the occurrence and development of AF...

BACKGROUND: Cell invasion plays a vital role in cancer development and progression. Aberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is also critical in carcinogenesis. However, the prognostic value of invasion-related lncRNAs in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unknown. METHODS: Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs), lncRNAs (DElncRNAs), and microRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were between LUAD and control samples. Pearson correlation analyses were performed to screen for invasion-related DElncRNAs (DEIRLs)...

BACKGROUND: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is an aggressive cancer that has an extremely poor prognosis. As well as facilitating the detachment of cancer cells from the primary tumor site, anoikis plays an important role in cancer metastasis. Few studies to date, however, have examined the role of anoikis in LUAD, in patient prognosis. METHODS: A total of 316 anoikis-related genes (ANRGs) integrated from Genecards and Harmonizome portals. LUAD transcriptome data were retrieved from the Genotype-Tissue Expression Project (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)...

INTRODUCTION: FAM111B (FAM111 trypsin-like peptidase B) gene mutations have been linked to a hereditary fibrosing poikiloderma disorder known to cause poikiloderma, tendon contracture, myopathy, and pulmonary fibrosis (POIKTMP). Overexpression of FAM111B has been associated with an increased risk of certain cancers with a poor prognosis, although the relationship between FAM111B and other tumors is still unclear, and the molecular mechanism of its action is not fully understood. METHODS: We investigated the biological functions of FAM111B in 33 solid tumors using multi-omics data...

BACKGROUND: Rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces the transmission of HIV infection in the community. This study aimed to determine whether rapid ART initiation is effective compared to standard ART treatment in our country. METHODS: Patients were grouped based on time to treatment initiation. HIV RNA levels, CD+4 T cell count, CD4/CD8 ratio, and ART regimens were recorded at baseline and follow-up visits for 12 months. RESULTS: There were 368-ART naive adults (treatment initiated at the time of HIV diagnosis; 143 on the first day, 48 on the second-seventh day, and 177 after the seventh day)...

PURPOSE: Chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infection is a worldwide health problem. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)ylated interferon (PEG-IFN) is an available therapy for CHB that has antiviral and immunomodulatory effects. However, PEG-IFN therapy is limited by the fact that only a subset of patients show a sustained response, its severe side effects, and high cost. The aim of this study was to explore novel biomarkers for the early prediction of PEG-IFN treatment response and to uncover its underlying mechanism...

BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), have been approved for first- and second-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but only a portion of patients respond to ICIs. It is crucial to screen the beneficiaries of immunotherapy through biomarkers accurately. METHODS: Several datasets were used to explore the predictive value for immunotherapy and immune relevance of guanylate binding protein 5 (GBP5) in NSCLC, including the GSE126044 dataset, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) dataset, the Kaplan-Meier plotter dataset, the HLuA150CS02 cohort, and the HLugS120CS01 cohort...

PURPOSE: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is currently a problem in the clinic and in society. Tumor-related macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) play a vital role in the development of NSCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Bioinformatics was used to analyze the role of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) in NSCLC and the correlation of its expression with CD163 expression. The expression of CD163 and IDO1 was measured by immunohistochemistry, and their colocalization was assessed by immunofluorescence...

OBJECTIVE: One of the earliest echocardiographic features of the left ventricle explored extensively was left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Numerous studies have identified a few risk factors for LVH, however, there are few for people with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Therefore, we evaluated the risk factors in DKD patients with LVH by analyzing laboratory data and clinical traits. METHODS: In total, 500 DKD patients in the Baoding area from February 2016 and June 2020 were admitted and classified as an experimental group (240 cases, LVH group) and a control group (260 cases, non-LVH group)...
