Summary: This study identified a novel seven-IRGs risk signature for individualized survival prediction of male GC patients. The expression of these seven genes could reflect the status of the tumor immune microenvironment. The established risk signature model showed excellent predictive performance in evaluating the prognosis of individual male GC patients.

Summary: The study aimed to construct a risk-stratification model based on immune-related genes for gastric cancer patients with varying microsatellite instability (MSI) status, identifying prognostically significant gene signatures. These findings provide new targets for personalized treatment and immunotherapy in gastric cancer patients, potentially advancing the development of tailored therapies and immunotherapies.

Summary: We established a miRNA-based liquid biopsy signature that can reliably predict early recurrence in gastric cancer patients by analyzing miRNA expression profiling. Additionally, a model combining the miRNA signature, microsatellite instability (MSI) status, and tumor size exhibited better predictive performance and was successfully validated in another independent cohort. Finally, we translated the miRNA signature into a liquid biopsy assay and demonstrated its independence as a predictor for early recurrence.

Summary: This study used multi-omics data of 2471 gastric cancer samples to identify glycometabolic subtypes and immune clustering subgroups of gastric cancer, and established a scoring system to predict the survival and response of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The assessment of tumor glucose metabolism and immune microenvironment in gastric cancer has application value for predicting curative effects and formulating combined treatment strategies.

Summary: Gastric cancer treatments are rapidly evolving, with immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1 or PD-L1 showing long-term efficacy in some patients and currently being the first-line therapy. Approved immunotherapies for untreated gastric cancer patients include monotherapy and chemotherapy-immunotherapy combinations. Clinical trials have indicated the importance of PD-L1 expression in regimen selection, although other biomarkers, clinicopathologic factors, and patient preference might also be relevant. Novel biomarkers and therapeutic strategies are currently being assessed, potentially refining the current treatment paradigm. This review describes current treatment regimens for gastric cancer patients and details our approach to selecting first-line immunotherapy regimens.

Summary: In this study, the authors used CT-based radiomics to predict the response to immunotherapy in gastric cancer patients, and found that radiomics imaging biomarker is closely associated with tumor immune microenvironment and may correlate with prognosis and response to anti PD-1 immunotherapy.

Summary: The study found that in patients receiving systemic chemotherapy, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) may be associated with longer overall survival compared to no surgery. Patients undergoing CRS were younger, had a lower proportion of disease involving multiple sites, and were more likely to have clinically occult disease.

Summary: This study identified a correlation between autopolyploidy and the global expansion of Solidago canadensis from temperate to hot-summer climates in introduced regions. The research demonstrated a negative correlation between ploidy levels and latitude, as well as a positive correlation with average temperature, indicating the key role of ploidy in plant growth and reproduction under different climate conditions.

Summary: The study found that introduced tetraploids and hexaploids of Solidago canadensis in China's invasive habitat have superior competitive ability over local weeds, forming a monodominant community. Phenolic metabolism analysis showed high accumulation of total phenolic compounds in these introduced populations, contributing to significant allelopathic effects. This suggests that post-introduction adaptive evolution enhances the allelopathic abilities of introduced polyploids, making them more competitive against local plants and contributing to their successful invasion.

Summary: A bioinspired stretchable electronic skin with interactive color changes and four-mode sensing properties has been proposed, which demonstrates sensitive responses to various stimuli including pressure, strain, voltage, and temperature. The sensing visualization is achieved through color changes of the e-skin as a response to intensified external stimuli, indicating potential applications in military defense, healthcare monitoring, and smart bionic skin.

Summary: This paper empirically examines the effect of China's Key Cities for Air Pollution Control policy on both firms' pollutant emissions and their total factor productivity (TFP) using the difference-in-differences (DID) method. The results show that the policy not only significantly decreases firms' pollutant emissions but also improves their TFP. The policy reduces pollutant emissions mainly through stimulating internal innovation rather than end-pipe treatment or production cuts. Moreover, capital-intensive and private firms, as well as firms in regions with a high degree of marketization or strong environmental law enforcement, are more responsive to the environmental target responsibility system.

Summary: The study found that the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant transarterial chemoembolization (PA-TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma patients at high risk of postsurgical recurrence is related to Ki67 expression levels. PA-TACE showed better tumor-free survival rates in patients with low or moderate Ki67 expression levels compared to surgery alone. In patients with high Ki67 levels, PA-TACE did not lead to improved outcomes.

Summary: This study found that down-regulation of ALDOB may be one of the underlying causes of metabolic reprogramming in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is closely related to the insensitivity of postoperative transarterial chemoembolization (PA-TACE). By promoting the malignant behavior of HCC cells, down-regulation of ALDOB may enhance the proliferation, invasion, and migration abilities of tumors. Using ALDOB and Ki67 as combined markers has the potential to identify the most suitable patients for PA-TACE treatment.
