SERPINB5 is a prognostic biomarker and promotes proliferation, metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in lung adenocarcinoma
- Pages: 2275-2287
- First Published: 09 July 2023

The expression of SERPINB5 was upregulated and demethylated in LUAD. High expression of SERPINB5 was significantly correlated with poor overall survival (OS), and it might be a potential prognostic biomarker for LUAD. The overexpression of SERPINB5 in LUAD cell lines can promote cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Postoperative pulmonary complications in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infected patients who underwent emergency surgery
- Pages: 2297-2301
- First Published: 05 July 2023

The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and 30-day mortality rates after emergency surgery in patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 are higher compared to prepandemic baseline rates. This will help clinicians in their efforts to reduce the incidence of PPCs and the mortality of patients with severe acute respiratory infections.
Restin protein expression in non-small cell lung cancer
- Pages: 2302-2309
- First Published: 26 June 2023

Restin is a member of the melanoma-associated-antigen (MAGE) superfamily. Its expression has been reported to be dysregulated in cancer. Preclinical data suggest its role as a tumor suppressor. We aimed to evaluate the expression of restin and its prognostic value in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We found that restin is moderately to strongly expressed in the majority (85.9%) of NSCLC tumors but its expression evaluated by immunohistochemistry has no prognostic value in patients with NSCLC.
CASE REPORTS
Cytokine release syndrome complicated with severe rashes induced by nivolumab plus ipilimumab therapy in a patient with non-small cell lung cancer: A case report

Rapidly developing intrathoracic low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma: A case report
- Pages: 2314-2319
- First Published: 03 July 2023

Intrathoracic LGFMS is an extremely rare thoracic malignancy. An 84-year-old woman initially suspected of having right lower lobe lung cancer (A) underwent surgical resection (B). Further analysis through FISH showed FUS gene (D) translocations (E, F), leading to a diagnosis of LGFMS. Unfortunately, postoperative recurrence occurred as peritoneal disseminations, highlighting the aggressive nature of the disease.
