SCN4B inhibits the progression of lung adenocarcinoma and is associated with better prognosis
ConclusionSCN4B expresses higher in normal samples, and SCN4B is able to be an independent prognostic signature for LUAD patients. TAL1 and ERG may regulate the expression of SCN4B by binding its upstream sequences. Our research is valuable in improving the effectiveness of treatment in LUAD.

Isolation of Epstein ‐Barr virus‐deoxyribonucleic acid in the lower respiratory tract for distinguishing critically ill patients from those with influenza‐associated pneumonia: A pilot study
ConclusionThe isolation rate of EBV in the lower respiratory tract was 46.9%. The length of hospital stays, intensive care unit admission rate, invasive mechanical ventilation rate, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation rate, SOFA score, and the proportion of moderate-to-severe ARDS in the EBV-positive group were higher than those in the EBV-negative group, while there was no effect on the death during hospitalization. The isolation of EBV in the lower respiratory tract and low lymphocyte count are independent risk factors for the development of moderate-to-severe ARDS in patients with influenza A-related pneumonia.

Study on the application of percutaneous closed pleural brushing combined with cell block technique in the diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion
ConclusionCompared with CPB, CPBR followed by the cell block technique can significantly increase the positive diagnostic rate of suspected MPE. CEA testing of pleural fluid after CPBR has a high predictive efficacy forEGFR mutation in lung adenocarcinoma patients with MPE, implying pleural fluid extracted for cell block after CPBR may be an ideal specimen for genetic testing.

Predicting in ‐hospital mortality in patients admitted from the emergency department for pulmonary embolism: Incidence and prognostic value of deep vein thrombosis. A retrospective study
ConclusionsAlthough further studies are needed to confirm the prognostic role of DVT at PE, involvement of the iliocaval venous axis should considered to be a sign of a higher risk of IHM and may be a key factor in prognostic stratification. (Source: The Clinical Respiratory Journal)

Comparative analysis of methodologies for predicting overall survival in patients with non ‐small cell lung cancer based on the number and rate of resected positive lymph nodes: A study based on the SEER database for 2010 through 2019
ConclusionsOur results demonstrate that nPLN and LNR classifications may offer improved prognostic performance compared with the current N classification for LN-positive NSCLC patients. Nonetheless, more studies are needed to assess the feasibility of incorporating these classifications into the next TNM staging system. (Source: The Clinical Respiratory Journal)

A case report of rib osteosarcoma and literature review
Osteosarcoma of the ribs is very rare. Here, we report a case of primary osteosarcoma of the ribs in an adolescent girl. The patient underwent complete resection of the rib mass, and the mass was histopathologically diagnosed as chondroblastic osteosarcoma. After surgery, the patient received adjuvant chemotherapy and has no evidence of recurrence. AbstractAbout half of osteosarcomas occur near the knee joint, but other sites such as the humerus, upper femur, fibula, spine, and ilium can also occur. However, rib osteosarcoma is rarely reported. Here, we report the case of a 17-year-old female who was found to have a left d...
