Pulmonary Mucinous Adenocarcinoma Combined with Bronchial Squamous Cell 
Papilloma and Infection with Tropheryma Whipplei: A Case Report
Simultaneous multiple primary tumors on the same side of the lung with Tropheryma whipplei (TW) infection are rare. We reviewed the clinical data, imaging manifestations, pathological results, diagnosis and treatment of a primary pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma (PPMA) patient with bronchial squamous cell papilloma (BSCP) and TW infection, and discussed our treatment experience. The patient mainly presented with chronic cough and sputum, and computed tomography (CT) showed inflammatory changes with multiple nodular shadows. Biopsy of the lower lobe of the right lung showed PPMA, and right lung sub-branchial nodules discov...

Expression of MEF2D in Lung Adenocarcinoma and Its Correlation with Prognosis
Background and objective Myocyte enhancer factor 2D (MEF2D) can participate in the process of tumor lesions by regulating the transcription of oncogenes. In a previous study, MEF2D was demonstrated to enhance the proliferation and metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma cells A549 and H1299 by promoting the transcription of NUSAP1. The research aimed to explore the expression level and clinical significance of MEF2D in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods A total of 199 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were collected. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect MEF2D expression levels in cancer and adjacent tissues. After the clini...

Exploration of the Perturbation of PKIG in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma and the Role in Tumor Microenvironment Based on Bioinformatics Method
Background and objective Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and patients have limited survival benefits from traditional treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. As a new treatment for lung cancer, immunotherapy has significantly prolonged the overall survival (OS) of patients. However, only some patients can benefit from it. We need to explore immunotherapy biomarkers more deeply to screen for advantages. Methods The original data were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the immunological and prognostic genes of l...

A Prognostic Model of Elderly Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer 
Based on Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index
Background and objective The relationship between nutritional status and prognosis of cancer patients has emerged as a hotspot for research. The aim of this study is to explore the application value of the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) in assessing the prognosis of elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and establish a Nomogram to predict the prognosis of elderly patients with NSCLC. Methods The data of patients with NSCLC aged ≥65 years who were initially treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. To dete...

Development and Validation of A Prognostic Nomogram to Guide Decision-making 
in Lung Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma
Background and objective Lung large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a rare and highly malignant lung tumor with a poor prognosis. Currently, most research on LCNEC is based on retrospective studies and lacks validation in the real world. The study aims to identify independent risk factors and establish and validate a predictive model for the prognosis of LCNEC. Methods Patient data were extracted from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) and our department ' s hospitalization records from 2010 to 2015 and 2016 to 2020, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate overall survival (OS). OS...

Research Progress on the Protective Effect of Intestinal Flora on 
Radiation-induced Lung Injury in Thoracic Tumors
Radiation therapy is one of the main treatment methods for patients with thoracic malignant tumors, which can effectively improve the survival rate of the patients. However, radiation therapy can also cause damage to normal tissues while treating tumors, leading to radiation-induced lung injury such as radiation pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis. Radiation-induced lung injury is a complex pathophysiological process involving many factors, and its prevention and treatment is one of the difficult problems in the field of radiation medicine. Therefore, the search for sensitive predictors of radiation-induced lung injury can gu...
