BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid-β plaques and tau aggregates, with autophagy dysfunction playing a key pathogenic role. While autophagy modulation shows therapeutic promise, comprehensive bibliometric analyses are lacking.ObjectiveThis study aims to map the research landscape of autophagy in AD through bibliometric analysis, identifying key trends, contributors, and emerging focus areas.MethodsWe analyzed 4018 publications (2003-2023) from Web of Science using VOSviewer and CiteSpace. Publication trends, influential authors, countries, institutions, and research hotspots were examined through co-occurrence, burst detection, and clustering analyses.ResultsAnnual publications have steadily increased, peaking in 2022. The US led in output and citations, with major contributions from the University of California and New York University. Ralph A. Nixon emerged as the most influential author. Early research (2003-2013) primarily focused on protein degradation mechanisms, whereas recent studies (2014-2023) emphasize mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and related pathways. Key evolving topics include endoplasmic reticulum stress and chaperone-mediated autophagy, with significant implications for therapeutic innovation.ConclusionsAutophagy plays a critical role in AD pathogenesis and represents a promising therapeutic target. Despite mechanistic advances, clinical translation remains challenging. Future research should prioritize multi-omics integration, drug delivery optimization, and managing risks associated with excessive autophagy activation. These findings provide valuable insights for developing novel AD therapies targeting autophagy.
Telomeres play a crucial role in the development and progression of cancers. However, the impact of telomere-related genes (TRGs) on the prognosis and tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) of gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. Therefore, a comprehensive investigation of the association between TRGs and GC is necessary. The TRG risk panel was constructed by combining differentially expressed gene analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analyses, the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression, and stepwise regression analysis in the TCGA cohort and has been validated in a GEO cohort. The major impacts of the signature on the TIME and immunotherapy response were also evaluated. The prognosis model comprised 9 TRGs (CABP2, CALML6, CFAP58, DST, ELOVL2, HIST1H3G, MYF6, PDE1B and TOP3B), stratifying patients into two risk groups. Individuals with low-risk scores exhibited superior prognoses than those with high-risk scores (P < 0.001). The prognostic signature was found to be an independent factor with good predictive power for overall survival. The high-risk group tended to have higher TME scores and an inert immune status with a higher infiltration proportion of Treg cells, M2 macrophages, resting dendritic cells and resting NK cells. Additionally, the low-risk group had higher TMB, lower TIDE and a higher immunotherapy response rate. Additionally, we confirmed the expression of the nine genes in GC tissues using RT-qPCR. Our TRG-based panel has a significant role in the prognosis, TIME, and immunotherapy response. This may suggest that the TRG panel could be a powerful tool for guiding clinical treatment decisions.

Objective To detect the expression of Survivin and Caspase-9 gene in Uygur breast cancer pa-tients with different HER-2 phenotypes,to find out the difference and association of the two genes and to find out the potential roles of the two genes breast cancer pathogenesis. Methods We selected 72 Uygur patients diag-nosed as breast cancer initially and they were divided into group A with HER-2 positive(n = 39)and group B with HER-2 negative(n = 33). Another 40 Uygur patients with benign breast were involved as the controls. Immunohis-tochemistry and real-time RT-PCR were used to detect the two genes,and analyze the differences and association of each gene between the groups. Results (1)The expression of Survivin gene in group A and B were higher than that in the control group. Further analysis showed that the expression of Survivin gene was enhanced in group A when compared with that in group B(P < 0.05);while even the expression of Survivin gene in group B was higher than that in the control group but no statistical difference was found(P > 0.05).(2)The expression of Caspase-9 gene in group A and B were lower than that in the control group. Real-time RT-PCR showed that the expression of Caspase-9 gene of group A was decreased when compared with that in group B(P < 0.05);While the expression of Caspase-9 gene of group B was slightly lower that of the control group but it showed no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Immunohistochemical results showed there were no statistical differences of expression of Caspase- 9 gene in group A and B and control group(all P > 0.05). The expression of Survivin and Caspase-9 gene was nega-tively associated in group A and B(P < 0.01;P < 0.05). Conclusions In Uygur patients with HER-2 positive breast cancer,the expression of Survivin gene is enhanced but that of caspase-9 gene is decreased,and they are negatively associated. Through inhabiting caspase-9 gene,Survivin gene may potentially lead to the occurrence of HER-2 positive breast cancer.
The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis has gained significant recognition in describing tumorigenesis. Identification of the factors critical to development of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) may provide insight into the improvement of effective therapies against breast cancer. In this study, we aim to investigate the biological function of SLC34A2 in affecting the stem cell-like phenotypes in BCSCs and its underlying mechanisms. We demonstrated that CD147 + cells from breast cancer tissue samples and cell lines possessed BCSC-like features, including the ability of self-renewal in vitro, differentiation, and tumorigenic potential in vivo. Flow cytometry analysis showed the presence of a variable fraction of CD147 + cells in 9 of 10 tumor samples. Significantly, SLC34A2 expression in CD147 + BCSCs was enhanced compared with that in differentiated adherent progeny of CD147 + BCSCs and adherently cultured cell line cells. In breast cancer patient cohorts, SLC34A2 expression was found increased in 9 of 10 tumor samples. By using lentiviral-based approach, si-SLC34A2-transduced CD147 + BCSCs showed decreased ability of sphere formation, cell viability in vitro, and tumorigenicity in vivo, which suggested the essential role of SLC34A2 in CD147 + BCSCs. Furthermore, PI3K/AKT pathway and SOX2 were found necessary to maintain the stemness of CD147 + BCSCs by using LY294002 or lentiviral-si-SOX2. Finally, we indicated that SLC34A2 could regulate SOX2 to maintain the stem cell–like features in CD147 + BCSCs through PI3K/AKT pathway. Therefore, our report identifies a novel role of SLC34A2 in BCSCs’ state regulation and establishes a rationale for targeting the SLC34A2/PI3K/AKT/SOX2 signaling pathway for breast cancer therapy.
To further assess the efficacy and safety of recombinant human endostatin (rh‐endostatin), a Phase III, multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted. Patients to be treated with neoadjuvant docetaxel and epirubicin (DE) or DE plus rh‐endostatin (DEE) were eligible for this trial. The primary endpoint was clinical/pathological response. Secondary endpoints included adverse events and quality of life (QOL). Finally, 803 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive DE (n = 402) or DEE (n = 401) regimen. After three cycles of neoadjuvant therapy, “complete response” achieved in 14.2% of patients in DEE group versus 6.7% in DE group, “partial response” achieved in 76.8% versus 71.1%, while “stable disease” in 6.0% versus 18.9%, “progressive disease” in 3.0% versus 3.2% of patients. The rate of objective response in DEE and DE group was 91.0% and 77.9%, respectively (p < 0.001). In spite of a relatively higher pathological complete response achieved following the combination therapy, no significant difference was found between two arms. Adverse events were mostly of Grades 1–2. No significant difference in adverse event and QOL was found between the two arms. In conclusion, the combination of chemotherapy and rh‐endostatin achieved better outcomes than chemotherapy alone, and thus can be considered as a promising therapeutic strategy for breast cancer.
随着人民生活水平不断提高和饮食结构的改变,下肢动脉缺血性疾病的发病率逐年升高,已成为威胁人类健康的主要疾病之一. 下肢动脉缺血性疾病的治疗分为传统外科手术和腔内治疗,近年来腔内治疗在保持其创伤小、术后恢复快等优点的同时,技术及器械也不断完善. 腔内治疗下肢动脉缺血性疾病已经成为主流,但腔内治疗后再狭窄是其发展的瓶颈. 近几年随着药物涂层球囊 (drug-coated balloon,DCB)的基础研究及临床应用,为下肢动脉缺血病变的治疗带来希望和曙光.
RATIONALE:Luminal subtype breast cancer, accounting for 70 to 80% of all breast cancers, has been reported to be associated with good prognosis. However, for the patients with large mass or worse mass position, omental flap transplantation may provide a new option for breast reconstruction.PATIENT CONCERNS:Ten patients (6 luminal B1, 2 luminal B2, 2 luminal A), were enrolled into the study, between January 23, 2015 and August 22, 2016. The mean age was 34.6 ± 6.96 (24-44) years old. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the tumor cells were positive for estrogen receptor and progestrone receptor.DIAGNOSES:According to the clinicopathological features, diagnosis of breast cancer patients were made.INTERVENTIONS:Breast-conserving surgery, laparoscopic greater omentum harvest and vascular anas-tomosis were carried out orderly. Postoperative operative results, cosmetic outcomes, complications, as well as blood supply were investigated for surgery evaluation. Reasonable chemotherapy and irradia-tion were adopted to patients according to the pathological condition.OUTCOMES:We successfully accomplished breast reconstruction by omental flap transplantation, ex-cept one failed case because of the necrosis of omentum and changed to fat transplantation. The volumes and symmetry of breasts were all satisfied. The blood supply was detected to be fluent. Only one case of slight hematoma and another case of one distant metastasis were observed during fol-low-up period. No arm mordities or arm movement restriction occurred after surgery. Moreover, radia-tion therapy and chemotherapy had no clear effects on the reconstructed breast.LESSONS:Immediate breast reconstruction surgery by transplanting omental flap for luminal breast cancer patients can be considered successful based on the excellent clinic outcome.

Background: Cases of multiple tumors are rarely reported in China. In our study, a 57-year-old female patient had concurrent squamous cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, brain cancer, bone cancer, and thyroid cancer, which has rarely been reported to date.Methods: To determine the relationship among these multiple cancers, available DNA samples from the thyroid, lung, and skin tumors and from normal thyroid tissue were sequenced using whole exome sequencing.Results: The notable discrepancies of somatic mutations among the 3 tumor tissues indicated that they arose independently, rather than metastasizing from 1 tumor. A novel deleterious germline mutation (chr22: 29091846, G->A, p.H371Y) was identified in CHEK2, a Li-Fraumeni syndrome causal gene. Examining the status of this novelmutation in the patient's healthy siblings revealed its de novo origin.Conclusion: Our study reports the first case of Li-Fraumeni syndrome-like in Chinese patients and demonstrates the important contribution of de novo mutations in this type of rare disease.
Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs).Methods From June 2008 to December 2013,20 patients (11 male and 9 female) with visceral artery aneurysms were treated in our hospital.The clinical data and treatment outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 20 patients,including 11 males and 9 females.The site of aneurysmal disease was splenic artery in 12 cases,mesenteric artery in 2 cases,hepatic artery in 2 cases,renal artery in 2 cases,celiac artery in 1 case and gastroduodenal artery 1 case.10 patients were treated by open surgery,and other 10 patients treated by endovascular.1 patient died,and others were discharged.All patients were followed up 28.5 months (ranged from 10 to 76 months).Two patients died due to cirrhosis of the liver,and the remaining patients were alive,no treatment-related complications,no serious complications,such as aneurysm recurrence occurs.Conclusions Both traditional surgical and endovascular treatment of visceral artery aneurysms may obtain a satisfactory outcome.
