Risk Factors of White Blood Cell Progression Among Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia at Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia

Cancer Informatics, 2022
Background: Leukemia is a type of cancers that start in the bone marrow and produce a serious number of abnormal white blood cells. Bleeding and bruising problems, fatigue, fever, and an increased risk of infection are among symptoms of the disease.

Verteporfin‐Mediated In Situ Nanovaccine Based on Local Conventional‐Dose Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Enhances Antitumor and Immunomodulatory Effect

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here gelatinase‐responsive methoxypolyethyleneglycol–PVGLIG–polycaprolactone (mPEG–PVGLIG–PCL) nanoparticles’ loading verteporfin (N@VP) is developed, enhancing radiotherapy via X‐ray‐triggered singlet oxygen generation. Combined with 2 Gy (gray, a radiation dose unit) irradiation, N@VP achieves antitumor efficacy comparable to 8 Gy, and also promotes ...

An imputation method for estimating the learning curve in classification problems [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
The learning curve expresses the error rate of a predictive modeling procedure as a function of the sample size of the training dataset. It typically is a decreasing, convex function with a positive limiting value. An estimate of the learning curve can be used to assess whether a modeling procedure should be expected to become substantially more ...

ADAR1‐HNRNPL‐Mediated CircCANX Decline Promotes Autophagy in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ADAR1‐HNRNPL interaction‐repressed circCANX recruits P53 mRNA and UPF1 to assemble a complex in nuclear. This complex promotes P53 mRNA degradation through the NMD pathway, and finally reduces autophagy and stress granules formation to further regulate inflammation.

The thioredoxin system: Balancing redox responses in immune cells and tumors

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
The thioredoxin (TRX) system is a critical contributor to cellular redox homeostasis in all living cells. Here, we review the key roles of TRX for activation, proliferation, and responses in T cells, B cells, and myeloid cells. Further, we conceptualize how this knowledge may be therapeutically exploited for cancer treatment.

Generalized Integrated Functional Test for Regional Methylation Rates [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Motivation: Methods are needed to test pre-defined genomic regions such as promoters for differential methylation in genome-wide association studies, where the number of samples is limited and the data have large amounts of measurement error. Results: We developed a new statistical test, the generalized integrated functional test (GIFT), which tests ...

STING Agonists and How to Reach Their Full Potential in Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
STING agonists show promise in preclinical studies in boosting an anti‐tumor response using the immune system. However, different limitations remain, and future research is needed to better understand how STING activation impacts the tumor microenvironment, identify effective combination strategies, and determine the best tumor types for STING agonist ...

Effects of altered salt intake and diet on cytokines in humans: A 20‐week randomized cross‐over intervention study

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
The effect of habitual Western diet and salt‐reduced diet on the levels of systemic blood cytokines was analyzed in a placebo‐controlled nutritional intervention study. The results showed that reduced salt intake did not alter the concentrations of any of the analyzed 34 cytokines in blood.

Extended lymphadenectomy for high-risk prostate cancer in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia may not be necessary: a report of two cases

BMC Cancer, 2019
Background Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a malignancy with good prognosis. However, the incidence of secondary tumors increases every year after the diagnosis of chronic lymphotcytic leukemia. One of the induced secondary tumors is prostate cancer. For

How essential are unstructured clinical narratives and information fusion to clinical trial recruitment? [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Electronic health records capture patient information using structured controlled vocabularies and unstructured narrative text. While structured data typically encodes lab values, encounters and medication lists, unstructured data captures the physician's interpretation of the patient's condition, prognosis, and response to therapeutic intervention.
