NGS panel enhance precise diagnosis of myeloid neoplasms under WHO-HAEM5 and International Consensus Classification: An observational study.
This study aimed to assess hematological diseases next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel enhances the diagnosis and classification of myeloid neoplasms (MN) using the 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Hematolymphoid Tumors (WHO-HAEM5) and the International Consensus Classification (ICC) of Myeloid Tumors. A cohort of 112 patients diagnosed with MN according to the revised fourth edition of the WHO classification (WHO-HAEM4R) underwent testing with a 141-gene NGS panel for hematological diseases. Ancillary studies were also conducted, including bone marrow cytomorphology and routine cytogenetics. ⋯ In MPN, NGS confirmed diagnoses in 16 cases by detecting JAK2, MPL, or CALR mutations, whereas 13 "triple-negative" MPN cases revealed at least 1 mutation. NGS panel testing for hematological diseases improves the diagnosis and classification of MN. When diagnosed with ICC, NGS produces more classification subtype information than WHO-HAEM5.

Graves' disease is a prevalent thyroid disorder and is the primary cause of hyperthyroidism. Significant progress has been made in understanding the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease. However, bibliometric analyses on Graves' disease are lacking. We aimed to comprehensively summarize the research, progression, and focal points of Graves' disease through data mining and integrated analysis of the existing literature. ⋯ This is the first comprehensive bibliometric study to summarize progress and trends in Graves' disease research. These results highlight recent research hotspots and promising directions, thereby providing a valuable reference for other scholars.

Increasing evidence has underscored the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) make up the major proportion of the competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) network and can regulate gene expression by competitively binding to miRNAs in the development and progression of tumors. Nevertheless, the role of lncRNA-mediated ceRNAs in gastric cancer (GC) and their regulatory mechanisms have not been elucidated to some extent. This study is aimed at constructing a prognostic risk model for GC based on lncRNAs. ⋯ Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis of the relationship between various clinical features and prognosis found that these lncRNAs and stage significantly correlated with GC prognosis. A lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network based on 3 lncRNAs and functional enrichment analysis of interacting mRNA indicated that these genes are enriched in various intracellular receptor signaling pathways, including regulation of muscle system process, and protein deubiquitylation. The current study provides novel insights into the lncRNA-related ceRNA network in GC and sheds lights on underlying 3 lncRNA biomarkers may be independent prognostic signatures in predicting the survival of GC patients.

Orexin in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a neuropeptide synthesized by a cluster of neurons in the lateral hypothalamus. It mainly functions to maintain arousal, regulate feeding, and participate in reward mechanisms. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can detect CSF orexin. ⋯ In the narcolepsy type 1 group, the ELISA and RIA results were significantly different (P < .05), but this was not observed in the non-narcolepsy type 1 group (P > .05). The accuracy of ELISA to detect CSF orexin was lower than that of RIA (P < .05). ELISA cannot replace RIA in the measurement of CSF orexin, and RIA is recommended as the first choice when narcolepsy is suspected.

Effect of care bundles based on importance degree analysis on postoperative comorbid state, coping style and disease management ability of patients with coronary heart disease.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a significant global health concern, particularly among the elderly. While care bundles present a comprehensive strategy for clinical disorders, their application in CHD rehabilitation remains understudied. This research addresses this gap by investigating the effectiveness of care bundles in CHD patients. ⋯ Aftercare, the compliance behavior of patients in the observation group was notably better (P = .013). Aftercare, the incidence of complications in the observation group was notably lower (P = .039). Care bundles based on the degree of importance analysis can play a positive role in postoperative comorbid state, coping styles and self-management ability of patients with CHD, which can improve the rehabilitation effects on patients.
