The aim of the present study was to confirm the role of Brachyury in breast cancer and to verify whether four types of machine learning models can use Brachyury expression to predict the survival of patients.

We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records to obtain patient information, and made the patient's paraffin tissue into tissue chips for staining analysis. We selected 303 patients for research and implemented four machine learning algorithms, including multivariate logistic regression model, decision tree, artificial neural network and random forest, and compared the results of these models with each other. Area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was used to compare the results.

The chi-square test results of relevant data suggested that the expression of Brachyury protein in cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in paracancerous tissues (P=0.0335); patients with breast cancer with high Brachyury expression had a worse overall survival (OS) compared with patients with low Brachyury expression. We also found that Brachyury expression was associated with ER expression (P=0.0489). Subsequently, we used four machine learning models to verify the relationship between Brachyury expression and the survival of patients with breast cancer. The results showed that the decision tree model had the best performance (AUC = 0.781).

Brachyury is highly expressed in breast cancer and indicates that patients had a poor prognosis. Compared with conventional statistical methods, decision tree model shows superior performance in predicting the survival status of patients with breast cancer.

Breast cancer is a very heterogeneous disease and there is an urgent need to design computational methods that can accurately predict the prognosis of breast cancer for appropriate therapeutic regime. Recently, deep learning-based methods have achieved great success in prognosis prediction, but many of them directly combine features from different modalities that may ignore the complex inter-modality relations. In addition, existing deep learning-based methods do not take intra-modality relations into consideration that are also beneficial to prognosis prediction. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop a deep learning-based method that can take advantage of the complementary information between intra-modality and inter-modality by integrating data from different modalities for more accurate prognosis prediction of breast cancer.

We present a novel unified framework named genomic and pathological deep bilinear network (GPDBN) for prognosis prediction of breast cancer by effectively integrating bot online.The microtubule-stabilizing chemotherapy drug paclitaxel (PTX) causes dose-limiting chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), which is often accompanied by pain. Among the multifaceted effects of PTX is an increased expression of sodium channel NaV1.7 in rat and human sensory neurons, enhancing their excitability. However, the mechanisms underlying this increased NaV1.7 expression have not been explored, and the effects of PTX treatment on the dynamics of trafficking and localization of NaV1.7 channels in sensory axons have not been possible to investigate to date. In this study we used a recently developed live-imaging approach that allows visualization of NaV1.7 surface channels and long-distance axonal vesicular transport in sensory neurons to fill this basic knowledge gap. We demonstrate concentration- and time-dependent effects of PTX on vesicular trafficking and membrane localization of NaV1.7 in real-time in sensory axons. Low concentrations of PTX increase surface channel expression and vesicfficking and surface distribution of NaV1.7 in sensory axons, with outcomes that depend on the presence of an inflammatory milieu, providing a mechanistic explanation for increased excitability of primary afferents and pain in CIPN.As our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of systemic sclerosis (SSc) increases, questions regarding the environmental trigger(s) that induce and propagate SSc in the genetically predisposed individual emerge. The interplay between the environment, the immune system, and the microbial species that inhabit the patient's skin and gastrointestinal tract is a pathobiological frontier that is largely unexplored in SSc. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the methodologies, experimental study results, and future roadmap for elucidating the relationship between the SSc host and his/her microbiome.LocusZoom.js is a JavaScript library for creating interactive web-based visualizations of genetic association study results. It can display one or more traits in the context of relevant biological data (such as gene models and other genomic annotation), and allows interactive refinement of analysis models (by selecting linkage disequilibrium reference panels, identifying sets of likely causal variants, or comparisons to the GWAS catalog). It can be embedded in web pages to enable data sharing and exploration. Views can be customized and extended to display other data types such as phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) results, chromatin co-accessibility, or eQTL measurements. A new web upload service harmonizes datasets, adds annotations, and makes it easy to explore user-provided result sets. Availability LocusZoom.js is open-source software under a permissive MIT license. Code and documentation are available at https//github.com/statgen/locuszoom/. Installable packages for all versions are also distributed via NPM. Additional features are provided as standalone libraries to promote reuse.

These sex disparities are seen across the spectrum of cardiovascular care, but, are especially pronounced in acute cardiovascular care. The spectrum of acute cardiovascular care encompasses critically ill or tenuous patients with cardiovascular conditions that require urgent or emergent decision-making and interventions. In this narrative review, the disparities in the clinical course, management, and outcomes of six commonly encountered acute cardiovascular conditions, some with a known sex-predilection will be discussed within the basis of underlying sex differences in physiology, anatomy, and pharmacology with the goal of identifying areas where improvement in clinical approaches are needed.
