    Abstract Purpose: Multiple lipid metabolism pathways alterations are associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) development and aggressiveness. In this study, we aim to develop a novel radiogenomics signature based on lipid metabolism-related genes (LMRGs) that may accurately predict ccRCC patients' survival.
    Materials and methods: First, 327 ccRCC were used to screen survival-related LMRGs and construct a gene signature based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Then, 182 ccRCC were analyzed to establish radiogenomics signature linking LMRGs signature to radiomic features in The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) database included enhanced CT images and transcriptome sequencing data. Lastly, we validated the prognostic power of the identified radiogenomics signature using these patients of TCIA and the Third Xiangya Hospital.
    Results: We identified the LMRGs signature, consisting of 13 genes, which could efficiently discriminate between low-risk and high-risk patients and serve as an independent and reliable predictor of overall survival (OS). Radiogenomics signature, comprised of 9 radiomic features, was created and could accurately predict the expression level of LMRGs signature (low- or high-risk) for patients. The predictive performance of this radiogenomics signature was demonstrated through AUC values of 0.75 and 0.74 for the training and validation sets (at a ratio of 7:3), respectively. Radiogenomics signature was proven to be an independent risk factor for OS by multivariable analysis (HR = 4.98, 95 % CI:1.72-14.43, P = 0.003).
    Conclusions: The LMRGs radiogenomics signature could serve as a novel prognostic predictor.

    Abstract Background: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an important treatment modality for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, some patients may develop TACE refractoriness during treatment. We aimed to construct a prediction model incorporating computed tomography (CT) body composition and clinical factors to preoperatively predict the risk of developing TACE refractoriness in patients with HCC, enabling the rapid identification of patients at high risk of TACE refractoriness.
    Methods: This study included 128 HCC patients treated with TACE who were randomly assigned to the training (n=89) and validation groups (n=39) in a 7:3 ratio. Multiple body-composition parameters were outlined from CT images of the third lumbar vertebra level of each patient. Standardized values of body-composition parameters were calculated, such as visceral-to-subcutaneous adipose tissue area ratio (VSR). Multifactor logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of TACE-refractoriness in patients and to develop predictive models. High- and low-risk subgroup analyses were performed for the predictive model.
    Results: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level (P=0.041), tumor size (P=0.001), and VSR (P=0.043) were independent risk factors for TACE refractoriness. The combined clinical-body composition model had an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.875 in the training cohort and an AUC value of 0.837 in the validation cohort. Calibration curves and decision curves revealed the specific optimal performance and clinical utility of the combined model. Subgroup analysis showed differences in predicted TACE refractoriness between the high- and low-risk groups (P<0.001).
    Conclusions: The combined clinical-body fat distribution model has the good performance in predicting a patient's risk of TACE refractoriness preoperatively and can help clinicians make the best clinical decisions in advance for the treatment of high-risk patients.

    Abstract Top management team (TMT) knowledge hiding, which is not only related to the normal operation of the team but also closely related to enterprise innovation performance, has been paid little attention to in the previous studies. Based on the theories of upper echelons, knowledge management, and innovation, this study proposed a moderated mediation model to research how TMT knowledge hiding affected enterprise innovation performance. In this model, TMT knowledge hiding was the independent variable, TMT creativity was the mediating variable, enterprise innovation performance was the dependent variable, and team competitive climate was the moderating variable. MPLUS7.0 was used for the CFAs to evaluate the discriminate validities of the key variables, and SPSS 22.0 was used to calculate the descriptive statistics, analyze the correlations between variables, make the multiple regression analysis, and process the data obtained from 612 executives in 53 TMTs. The results showed that TMT knowledge hiding had a significant negative impact on enterprise innovation performance; TMT creativity had a partial mediating effect between TMT knowledge hiding and enterprise innovation performance, and team competitive climate had a moderating effect on the relationship between TMT knowledge hiding and TMT creativity. These research results fill up the gap of the theoretical research in TMT knowledge hiding and provide scientific guidance to reasonably reduce or eliminate the phenomenon of TMT knowledge hiding and improve enterprise innovation performance.

    Abstract Whether chief executive officer (CEO) turnover can improve top management team (TMT) creativity is an important issue that remains to be solved. Based on the theoretical background of CEO turnover, team creativity, and cross-cultural context, this study proposes a theoretical model to answer the question and introduces leadership identity as a moderator simultaneously. The multiple regression analysis of data obtained from 903 executives in 104 top management teams revealed CEO voluntary resignation/internal succession pattern, CEO voluntary resignation/external succession pattern, and CEO forced resignation/internal succession pattern separately had a significant positive impact on TMT creativity in a cross-cultural context; leadership identity partially moderated the relationship between CEO turnover and TMT creativity. According to these findings, only three patterns of CEO turnover could promote TMT creativity, and leadership identity enhanced the positive effects of CEO voluntary resignation/internal succession pattern, CEO voluntary resignation/external succession pattern, and CEO forced resignation/internal succession pattern on TMT creativity in a cross-cultural context. These made up for the lack of theoretical research on the relationships among CEO turnover, TMT creativity and leadership identity, which could provide the scientific guidance to conduct the CEO turnover practice and improve TMT creativity in a cross-cultural context.

    Abstract Cancer precision medicine (CPM) could tailor the best treatment for individual cancer patients, while imaging techniques play important roles in its application. With the characteristics of noninvasion, nonionized, radiation-free, multidimensional imaging function, and real-time monitoring, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an effective way for early tumor detection, and it has become a tower of strength in CPM imaging techniques. Due to linkage with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agent (CA), which was long used in MRI, has been restricted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this review, we would like to introduce the manganese (Mn)-based CAs that could significantly increase the safety of MRI CAs by realizing more superior performance and functions simultaneously in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Also, recent advances in Mn-based hybrid nanomaterials for CPM are summarized and discussed.

    Abstract Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most prevalent renal cancers, and the molecular mechanisms underlying its progression are still not fully understood. The expression of CCDC25, a notably underexpressed gene in many tumors, has been understudied in ccRCC. This research aims to explore the role of CCDC25 in ccRCC's clinical outcomes and uncover the molecular pathways influenced by it.
    Methods: A multi-tiered approach was adopted involving bioinformatic analysis, tissue sample evaluation, in vitro and in vivo experiments. CCDC25 expression levels in tumor vs. normal tissues were quantified using Western blot and immunofluorescence studies. Cell proliferation and migration were analyzed using CCK8, EDU, Transwell assays, and wound healing assays. RNA sequencing was performed to elucidate the molecular pathways affected, followed by detailed protein-protein interaction studies and mouse xenograft models.
    Results: CCDC25 was predominantly underexpressed in ccRCC tumors and associated with advanced clinical stages and poor prognosis. Overexpression of CCDC25 in renal cancer cell lines resulted in reduced proliferation and migration. RNA sequencing revealed significant alterations in the Hippo pathway. Overexpression of CCDC25 inhibited the expression of downstream Hippo pathway proteins ITGA3 and CCND1 and promoted YAP phosphorylation. Mechanistic studies showed that CCDC25 interacts with YAP and influences YAP phosphorylation through LATS1. In vivo, CCDC25 overexpression inhibited tumor growth and promoted apoptosis.
    Conclusion: CCDC25 acts as a potential tumor suppressor in ccRCC by inhibiting cell proliferation and migration, potentially through regulating the Hippo signaling pathway. These findings highlight the potential of CCDC25 as a therapeutic target in ccRCC treatment.

    Abstract Objectives: To explore the content, ways, and methods of family education in cultivating students' humanistic literacy.
    Methods: We used a cross-sectional study and collected questionnaire data from 616 eight-year clinical medical students of Central South University by a convenience sampling survey. To determine the influence of parents' educational attainment on children's humanistic literacy, the students were mainly divided into two groups including parents' education attainment was college or above (Group B) and parents' education attainment below college (Group A). Non-parametric tests are used to test the differences between the two groups in humanistic spirit, interpersonal communication, humanistic knowledge and ability, and development planning.
    Results: Group B had better social morality and a sense of social responsibility than group A (P=0.024, P=0.001). Compared to group A, students in group B could better integrate into the new environment, communicate with students from different institutes, and take an active part in activities (P=0.001). In a nutshell, students in group B had more excellent humanistic knowledge and ability and could consult medical literature and write in Chinese or English more proficiently than group A (P=0.0001, P=0.0001).
    Conclusions: We found that the eight-year medical students whose parents' highest education attainment is college or above almost mastered a higher level of humanistic literacy. It demonstrated family humanistic literacy education is irreplaceable. We recommend systematic efforts to build a reasonable and effective family humanistic literacy education platform and form an educational synergy with school education to make the cultivation of humanistic literacy among students more efficient.

    Abstract Background: Liver cancer is a prevalent and deadly form of cancer with high incidence and mortality rates. The PCMT1 protein has been linked to cell anti-apoptosis and tumor metastasis, but its significance in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) remains largely unexplored.
    Methods: We conducted a pan-cancer analysis to examine the expression differences of PCMT1. Kaplan-Meier curves were employed to assess the prognostic impact of PCMT1 on LIHC patients, and we investigated the association between PCMT1 and clinical features, which we validated using a GEO therapeutic dataset. Gene enrichment analysis helped identify signaling pathways associated with PCMT1 expression. Moreover, we evaluated the relationship between PCMT1 and immune cell infiltration, as well as the differences in gene mutations between high-expression and low-expression groups. In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to assess the effect of PCMT1 on tumor cell lines and mouse tumor models, and potential pathways were explored through gene sequencing.
    Result: PCMT1 is highly expressed in most tumors and exhibits a significant association with prognosis in LIHC patients. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that PCMT1 is involved in cell cycle regulation, immunity, and other processes. Further immune analysis demonstrated that high expression of PCMT1 could reduce tumor-killing immune cell infiltration. In vitro experiments indicated that PCMT1 knockdown could inhibit cancer cell proliferation and migration while promoting apoptosis. In vivo experiments showed that PCMT1 knockdown significantly reduced tumor growth rate, enhanced CD8+T cell infiltration, and increased caspase-3 expression in the tumor area. Gene sequencing suggested that PCMT1 may function through the PI3K-AKT pathway.
    Conclusion: Our findings suggest that PCMT1 acts as a promoter of liver cancer progression and may serve as a novel prognostic indicator and therapeutic target for patients with LIHC.

    Abstract Introduction: PTEN often mutates in tumors, and its manipulation is suggested to be used in the development of preclinical tools in cancer research. This study aims to explore the biological impact of gene expression related to PTEN mutations and to develop a prognostic classification model based on the heterogeneity of PTEN expression, and to explore its sensitivity as an indicator of prognosis and molecular and biologic features in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
    Material and methods: RNA-seq data and mutation data of the LIHC cohort sample downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The HCC samples were grouped according to the mean expression of PTEN, and the tumor microenvironment (TME) was evaluated by ESTIMATE and ssGSEA. The prognostic classification model related to PTEN were constructed by COX and LASSO regression analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between PTEN-high and -low expressed group.
    Results: The expression of PTEN was affected by copy number variation (CNV) and negatively correlated with immune score, IFNγ score and immune cell infiltration. 1281 DEGs were detected between PTEN-high and PTEN-low expressed group, 8 of the DEGs were finally filtered for developing a prognosis classification model. This model showed better prognostic value than other clinicopathological parameters, and the prediction accuracy of prognosis and ICB treatment for immunotherapy cohorts was better than that of TIDE model.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrated the effect of CNV on PTEN expression and the negative immune correlation of PTEN, and constructed a classification model related to the expression of PTEN, which was of guiding significance for evaluating prognostic results of HCC patients and ICB treatment response of cancer immunotherapy cohorts.
