Abstract Background Clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) is an immunologically and histologically diverse tumor. However, how the structural heterogeneity of tumor microenvironment (TME) affects cancer progression treatment response remains unclear. Hence, we characterized TME architectures ccRCC tissues using imaging mass cytometry (IMC) explored their associations with clinical outcome therapeutic response. Methods Using IMC, profiled landscape paracancerous tissue by measuring 17 markers...

Benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), a natural compound abundant in cruciferous vegetables, plays an important role the chemoprevention of various human malignancies. However, mechanism by which BITC inhibits tumor cell growth is not fully understood. This study combined network pharmacology, molecular docking, cellular experiments, and mouse models to predict validate targets mechanisms treatment anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). A total 10 key ATC were selected for docking. The target genes...

Hepatic dysfunction is often observed in patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism. The aims of this study were to investigate the risk factors for hepatic and analyze efficacy 131I (radioactive iodine-131) treatment. In total, 2385 hyperthyroidism (478 males, 1907 females; age 42.8 ± 13.5 years) involved our study. Of these, 1552 cases received All clinical data retrospectively reviewed explore associated using logistic regression analysis. Furthermore, we thyroid liver function indices...

Abstract Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare but highly aggressive cancer with poor prognosis. Killing cells by inducing DNA damage or blockage of repair promising strategy for chemotherapy. It reported that aldehyde-reactive alkoxyamines can capture the AP sites, one most common lesions, and inhibit apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1(APE1)-mediated base excision (BER), leading to cell death. Whether this be employed ATC treatment rarely investigated. The aim study exploit...
