Neutrophil ALDH2 is a new therapeutic target for the effective treatment of sepsis-induced ARDS.

Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) mutations are commonly found in a subgroup of the Asian population. However, the role of ALDH2 in septic acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains unknown. Here, we showed that human subjects carrying the ALDH2rs671 mutation were highly susceptible to developing septic ARDS. Intriguingly, ALDH2rs671-ARDS patients showed higher levels of blood cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-DNA than ALDH2WT-ARDS patients. To investigate the mechanisms underlying ALDH2 deficiency in the development of septic ARDS, we utilized Aldh2 gene knockout mice and Aldh2rs671 gene knock-in mice. In clinically relevant mouse sepsis models, Aldh2-/- mice and Aldh2rs671 mice exhibited pulmonary and circulating NETosis, a specific process that releases neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) from neutrophils. Furthermore, we discovered that NETosis strongly promoted endothelial destruction, accelerated vascular leakage, and exacerbated septic ARDS. At the molecular level, ALDH2 increased K48-linked polyubiquitination and degradation of peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) to inhibit NETosis, which was achieved by promoting PAD4 binding to the E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP. Pharmacological administration of the ALDH2-specific activator Alda-1 substantially alleviated septic ARDS by inhibiting NETosis. Together, our data reveal a novel ALDH2-based protective mechanism against septic ARDS, and the activation of ALDH2 may be an effective treatment strategy for sepsis.

Prolonged efficacy of cefazolin in intraosseous regional prophylaxis for total knee arthroplasty: a rabbit model study.

BACKGROUND: A novel approach known as intraosseous regional administration (IORA) has emerged as a technique for delivering prophylactic antibiotics, and it results in higher tissue concentrations around the knee. It is hypothesized that IORA of cefazolin for antibiotic prophylaxis during total knee arthroplasty will result in sustained effective levels for a longer duration. The aim of the current study was to investigate temporal changes in peri-knee cefazolin blood concentrations after IORA of cefazolin. METHODS: Twelve rabbits were randomly divided into two groups, with six rabbits in each group. In control group a single intravenous bolus injection of cefazolin (10 mL, 100 mg) was administered into the marginal ear vein. In experimental groupexperimental group the same dose of cefazolin was injected into the left tibial marrow cavity after tourniquet inflation at the base of the left thigh. Blood samples were collected periodically at different timepoints, and cefazolin concentrations were determined. RESULTS: The intraosseous treatment resulted in significant differences in plasma cefazolin concentrations at all timepoints. Experimental group exhibited higher plasma cefazolin concentrations than control group. CONCLUSIONS: Cefazolin in intraosseous regional prophylaxis exhibits effectiveness in intraoperative antibiotic prophylaxis by maintaining concentrations above the minimum inhibitory concentration for extended durations, rather than relying solely on high concentrations.

A novel heterozygous mutation in PTHLH causing autosomal dominant brachydactyly type E complicated with short stature.

BACKGROUND: Brachydactyly type E (BDE) is a general term characterized by variable shortening of metacarpals and metatarsals, with phalanges affected frequently. It can occur as an isolated form or part of syndromes and manifest a high degree of phenotypic variability. In this study, we have identified the clinical characteristics and pathogenic causes of a four-generation pedigree with 10 members affected by BDE and short stature. METHODS: After the informed consent was signed, clinical data and peripheral blood samples were collected from available family members. Karyotype analysis, array-CGH, next-generation sequencing, and Sanger sequencing were employed to identity the pathogenic candidate gene. RESULTS: No translocation or microdeletion/duplication was found in karyotype analysis and array-CGH; hence, a novel heterozygous mutation, c.146dupA. p.S50Vfs*22, was detected by next-generation sequencing in PTHLH gene, leading to a premature stop codon. Subsequently, the mutation was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and co-segregation analysis. CONCLUSION: In this study, we described a novel heterozygous mutation (c.146dupA. p.S50Vfs*22) of gene PTHLH in a Chinese family. The mutation could induce a premature stop codon leading to a truncation of the protein. Our study broadened the mutation spectrum of PTHLH in BDE.

Photo-induced imino functionalizations of alkenes via intermolecular charge transfer.

A catalyst-free photosensitized strategy has been developed for regioselective imino functionalizations of alkenes via the formation of an EDA complex. This photo-induced protocol facilitates the construction of structurally diverse ß-imino sulfones and vinyl sulfones in moderate to high yields. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction is initiated with an intermolecular charge transfer between oximes and sulfinates, followed by fragmentation to generate a persistent iminyl radical and transient sulfonyl radical. This catalyst-free protocol also features excellent regioselectivity, broad functional group tolerance and mild reaction conditions. The late stage functionalization of natural product derived compounds and total synthesis of some bioactive molecules have been demonstrated to highlight the utility of this protocol. Meanwhile, the compatibility of different donors has proved the generality of this strategy.

Higher cefazolin concentrations in synovial fluid with intraosseous regional prophylaxis in knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Prophylactic antibiotics reduce the risk of periprosthetic joint infection. However, conventional systemic administration may not provide adequate tissue concentrations against more resistant organisms such as coagulase-negative staphylococci. Intraosseous regional administration is known to achieve significantly higher antibiotic tissue concentrations than systemic administration, but it is unclear how synovial fluid concentrations are affected. We aimed to compare synovial fluid cefazolin concentrations achieved by regional intraosseous versus systemic intravenous administration, and also to compare synovial fluid cefazolin concentrations with those in subcutaneous fat. METHODS: A total of 60 patients undergoing primary knee arthroplasty were randomized into 2 groups: group IO received 2 g interosseous cefazolin in 100 mL saline through a tibial cannula after tourniquet inflation and before skin incision; group IV received 2 g cefazolin in 100 mL saline via the median basilic or median cephalic vein 30 min before tourniquet inflation. Subcutaneous fat and synovial fluid samples were collected immediately after skin incision, and cefazolin concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS: The cefazolin concentration in synovial fluid was 391.3 ± 70.1 µg/ml in group IO and 17.6 ± 3.5 µg/ml in group IV. The cefazolin concentration in subcutaneous fat was 247.9 ± 64.9 µg/g in group IO and 11.4 ± 1.9 µg/g in group IV. CONCLUSION: Intraosseous regional administration results in several times higher tissue concentrations than systemic administration, especially in the synovial fluid.

Stable Harsh-Temperature Lithium Metal Batteries Enabled by Tailoring Solvation Structure in Ether Electrolytes.

For lithium metal batteries (LMBs), the elevated operating temperature results in severe capacity fading and safety issues due to unstable electrode-electrolyte interphases and electrolyte solvation structures. Therefore, it is crucial to construct advanced electrolytes capable of tolerating harsh environments to ensure stable LMBs. Here, we proposed a stable localized high-concentration electrolyte (LHCE) by introducing the highly solvating power solvent diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DGDME). Computational and experimental evidence discloses that the original DGDME-LHCE shows favorable features for high-temperature LMBs, including high Li+-binding stability, electro-oxidation resistance, thermal stability, and nonflammability. The tailored solvated sheath structure achieves the preferred decomposition of anions, inducing the stable (cathode and Li anode)/interphases simultaneously, which enables a homogeneous Li plating-stripping behavior on the anode side and a high-voltage tolerance on the cathode side. For the Li||Li cells coupled with DGDME-LHCE, they showcase outstanding reversibility (a long lifespan of exceeding 1900 h). We demonstrate exceptional cyclic stability (∼95.59%, 250 cycles), high Coulombic efficiency (>99.88%), and impressive high-voltage (4.5 V) and high-temperature (60 °C) performances in Li||NCM523 cells using DGDME-LHCE. Our advances shed light on an encouraging ether electrolyte tactic for the Li-metal batteries confronted with stringent high-temperature challenges.

BAG3 regulates bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell proliferation by targeting INTS7.

Background: BAG3 is an essential regulator of cell survival and has been investigated in the context of heart disease and cancer. Our previous study used immunoprecipitation-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to show that BAG3 might directly interact with INTS7 and regulate bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMMSCs) proliferation. However, whether BAG3 bound INTS7 directly and how it regulated BMMSCs expansion was unclear. Methods: BAG3 expression was detected by quantitative real-time PCR in BMMSCs after siRNA-mediated BAG3 knockdown. BMMSC proliferation was determined using the CCK-8 and colony formation assays. The transwell migration, flow cytometry and TUNEL assays were performed to measure BMMSC migration, cell cycle and apoptosis, respectively. Moreover, co-immunoprecipitation, protein half-life assay and western blotting analyses were used to determine the regulatory mechanism underlying the BAG3-mediated increase in BMMSC proliferation. Results: The results showed that knocking down BAG3 in BMMSCs markedly decreased their proliferative activity, colony formation and migratory capacity, and induced cell apoptosis as well as cell cycle arrest. Meanwhile, overexpression of BAG3 had the opposite effect. Bioinformatics and BAG3-INTS7 co-immunoprecipitation analyses revealed that BAG3 directly interacted with INTS7. Moreover, the downregulation of BAG3 inhibited the expression of INTS7 and promoted its ubiquitination. We also observed that BAG3 knockdown increased the levels of reactive oxygen species and the extent of DNA damage in BMMSCs. Notably, the upregulation of INTS7 or the addition of an antioxidant scavenger could rescue the BMMSC phenotype induced by BAG3 downregulation. Conclusions: BAG3 directly interacts with INTS7 and promotes BMMSC expansion by reducing oxidative stress.

Identification and Validation of Cyclin A2 and Cyclin E2 as Potential Biomarkers in Small Cell Lung Cancer.

INTRODUCTION: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a special type of lung cancer sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy but is prone to drug resistance and recurrence and has a very poor prognosis. This study aimed to explore the potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for SCLC. METHODS: After batch normalization of GSE40275, GSE1037, and GSE44447 datasets, R was used to screen SCLC's differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and hub genes. We used immunohistochemistry (IHC) to assess the tissue's expression level of the hub gene. The clinical value of the hub gene was further evaluated based on the collected clinical-pathological data. RESULTS: In this study, a total of 230 DEGs (133 upregulated and 97 downregulated) were screened by the R package. The IHC showed that the expression of CCNA2 and CCNE2 in SCLC tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues (p < 0.01). Overexpression of CCNA2 was closely associated with the extensive period of NCCN (p = 0.004), tumor position (p = 0.046), and clinical stage (p = 0.002). The high expression levels of CCNE2 were related to high survival in chemotherapy patients (p = 0.019). CONCLUSION: CCNA2 and CCNE2 may serve as potential biomarkers of diagnosis and treatment for SCLC.

The effect of tibial component rotational alignment on clinical outcomes of mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.

BACKGROUND: The optimal tibial component rotational alignment in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty has not been defined. This study aimed to explore the effect of tibial component rotational alignment on the clinical outcomes of UKA. METHODS: Clinical and follow-up data from 269 patients were retrospectively analysed. They were assigned into Groups A (- 5° to 0°), B (0°-3°), C (3°-6°) and D (> 6°) according to the external rotation of the tibial component to Akagi's line. The Knee Society Score clinical (KSS-c), Knee Society Score function (KSS-f), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS) and postoperative complications at 2 years postsurgically were analysed. RESULTS: The mean rotation of the tibial component relative to Akagi's line in 269 patients was 4.56 ± 3.79°. There were 15, 84, 89 and 81 patients in Groups A, B, C and D, respectively. The postoperative KSS-c and KSS-f in Groups B and C were significantly higher than those in Group D. No significant differences in KSS-c and KSS-f were detected between Groups B and C. The postoperative FJS in Group B was significantly higher than that in Group C, which was significantly higher in Group C than in Group D. There were 5, 8 and 15 cases of postoperative knee pain in Groups B, C and D, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Tibial component rotational alignment is of significance to Oxford Phase III UKA in patients. External rotation of the tibial component by 0°-3° is optimal to achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes.

ALDH2 attenuates myocardial pyroptosis through breaking down Mitochondrion-NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in septic shock.

Cell survival or death is critical for cardiac function. Myocardial pyroptosis, as a newly recognized programmed cell death, remains poorly understood in sepsis. In this study, we evaluated the effect of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2) on myocardial pyroptosis and revealed the underlying mechanisms in sepsis. We established a septic shock mice model by intraperitoneal injection of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 15 mg/kg) 12 h before sacrifice. It was found that aldehyde dehydrogenase significantly inhibited NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation and Caspase-1/GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis, which remarkably improved survival rate and septic shock-induced cardiac dysfunction, relative to the control group. While aldehyde dehydrogenase knockout or knockdown significantly aggravated these phenomena. Intriguingly, we found that aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibited LPS-induced deacetylation of Hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase trifunctional multienzyme complex α subunit (HADHA) by suppressing the translocation of Histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) from nuclei to mitochondria. Acetylated HADHA is essential for mitochondrial fatty acid ß-oxidation, and its interruption can result in accumulation of toxic lipids, induce mROS and cause mtDNA and ox-mtDNA release. Our results confirmed the role of Histone deacetylase 3 and HADHA in NOD-like receptor protein 3 inflammasome activation. Hdac3 knockdown remarkedly suppressed NOD-like receptor protein 3 inflammasome and pyroptosis, but Hadha knockdown eliminated the effect. aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibited the translocation of Histone deacetylase 3, protected ac-HADHA from deacetylation, and significantly reduced the accumulation of toxic aldehyde, and inhibited mROS and ox-mtDNA, thereby avoided NOD-like receptor protein 3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis. This study provided a novel mechanism of myocardial pyroptosis through mitochondrial Histone deacetylase 3/HADHA- NOD-like receptor protein 3 inflammasome pathway and demonstrated a significant role of aldehyde dehydrogenase as a therapeutic target for myocardial pyroptosis in sepsis.

Kinetics-Driven MnO2 Nanoflowers Supported by Interconnected Porous Hollow Carbon Spheres for Zinc-Ion Batteries.

For rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), manganese dioxide is one of the most promising candidates as a cathode material because of its cost effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and high specific capacities. However, the ZIBs suffer from poor rate performance and low cycle life due to the weak intrinsic electronic conductivity of manganese dioxide, poor ion diffusion of lump manganese dioxide, and its volumetric expansion during the cycle. Herein, we prepare MnO2@carbon composites (MnO2@IPHCSs) by in situ growing MnO2 nanoflowers on an interconnected porous hollow carbon spheres (IPHCSs) template. IPHCSs, as excellent conductors, significantly improve the conductivity of the manganese dioxide cathode. The hollow porous carbon framework of IPHCSs can offer more ion diffusion paths to internal MnO2@IPHCS carbon composites and acts as a buffer room to cope with the drastic volume contraction and expansion during charge/discharge cycling. The rate performance tests show that MnO2@IPHCSs with high conductivity have a specific capacity of 147 mA h g-1 at 3 C. MnO2@IPHCSs with hollow and nanoflower structures are shown to have excellent ion diffusion performance (ion diffusion coefficient = 10-11 to 10-10 cm2 s-1) in the electrochemical kinetics of the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique. Long cycle performance testing and in situ Raman characterization reveal that MnO2@IPHCSs have high cycling stability (85.5% capacity retention after 800 cycles) and reversibility due to the enhanced structure and increased conductivity. The excellently conductive manganese dioxide supported by IPHCSs has good rate and cycling performance, which can be used to produce superior-performance ZIBs.

Nickel-catalyzed divergent Mizoroki-Heck reaction of 1,3-dienes.

Developing efficient strategies to realize divergent arylation of dienes has been a long-standing synthetic challenge. Herein, a nickel catalyzed divergent Mizoroki-Heck reaction of 1,3-dienes has been demonstrated through the regulation of ligands and additives. In the presence of Mn/NEt3, the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of dienes delivers linear products under Ni(dppe)Cl2 catalysis in high regio- and stereoselectivities. With the help of catalytic amount of organoboron and NaF, the use of bulky ligand IPr diverts the selectivity from linear products to branched products. Highly aryl-substituted compounds can be transformed from dispersive Mizoroki-Heck products programmatically. Preliminary experimental studies are carried out to elucidate the role of additives.

Case report: Complete resection of invasive thymoma invading the superior vena cava and right atrium under cardiopulmonary bypass support.

Here we describe an uncommon case of a 48-year-old male patient with an invasive thymoma invading the superior vena cava, bilateral innominate veins, right internal jugular vein, right subclavian vein, right atrium, azygos vein, and part of the lung tissues. The tumor was resected entirely under cardiopulmonary bypass support, and the venous bypass using a vascular graft was successfully established between the left innominate vein and the right atrium. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged 15 days after surgery without complications.

Prognostic factors associated with left ventricular non-compaction: A PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. Efforts to improve prognosis are limited by the quality and scope of the available evidence on prognostic factors. METHODS: Pubmed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, and Baidu Scholar were searched and all relevant studies that examined factors related to LVNC prognosis, published before January 2021, were retrieved. Study quality evaluation and data extraction were independently completed by two authors. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA 15.0 software. RESULTS: A total of 20 cohort studies were included in this study, with a total of 1910 patients. The results of the meta-analysis are as follows: New York Heart Function Association (NYHA) class III/IV (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.93, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.66-9.29), (NT-proBNP) increased (HR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.10-3.58), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decreased (HR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.03-1.06), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) increased (HR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.06) was an independent poor prognostic factor, and body mass index (HR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.64-0.98) was an independent protective factor. Creatinine (CR) level (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 0.95-1.25) and late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) imaging (HR = 3.1, 95% CI: 0.85-11.31) has no statistical significance in the prognosis of LVNC. CONCLUSION: In LVNC patients, NYHA class III/IV, elevated N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels, decreased LVEF, and increased LVEDD may lead to poor prognosis, and increased body mass index may improve the prognosis of LVNC. Further clinical research with large sample sizes and long-term follow-ups should be conducted. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: 42020152706.

Implementation of a real-time fall detection system based on hybrid threshold analysis algorithm and machine learning algorithm.

With the increasing global aging population, the health of the elderly has become a global concern. Accidental falls, as one of the major causes of health and safety issues affecting the elderly, can cause serious hazards. In this paper, a fall detection system is proposed to be able to deliver timely information after a fall. The acceleration and angular velocity time series extracted from motion were used to describe human motion features. Hybrid threshold analysis algorithm and machine learning algorithm are used for classification between falls and activities of daily living (ADLs). The fall detection results showed 98.55% accuracy, 98.16% sensitivity, and 98.73% specificity. The result is higher than the single-threshold algorithm and slightly lower than the machine learning algorithm. In addition, the hybrid algorithm of fall detection in this paper is to put the threshold analysis algorithm in the edge device for calculation and put the machine learning algorithm in the cloud server for calculation. Since the single machine learning algorithm needs to transmit data to the cloud server all the time, the hybrid algorithm has lower power consumption than machine learning algorithms, and the average alarm time is shorter, making it more suitable for actual systems.

Ultra-stable Li||LiFePO4 batteries via advanced designing of localized high concentration electrolyte.

The High-Performance Li-LiFePO4 batteries (Li||LFP) realized by highly compatible electrolytes are considered to be the breakthrough point to achieve the stability and high energy density of lithium-ion battery (LIB) systems. However, the current prevailing commercial electrolytes can hardly be compatible with both LFP cathode and lithium anode simultaneously to an ideal extent. On this very note, we designed an advanced ether-based localized high concentration electrolyte (abbreviated as "ADE"), which exhibits extreme compatibility with LFP-based lithium metal batteries (Fb-LMBs). Equipped with ADE-electrolyte, the Li||LFP coin cell system can carry out more than 4000 fast-charging/discharging (3C for charge and 6C for discharge, respectively) rigorously cycles. Each cycle can not only sacrifice just 0.145‱ capacity on average compared with the original value, but also cycle at elevated temp (>200 fast charging/discharging cycles under 60 °C). This performance remains rare in liquid electrolyte systems in previous reports. The significantly enhanced electrochemical performance can be ascribed to the stabilization of both LFP-cathode/electrolyte and Li-metal-anode/electrolyte interphases. In addition, due to its specific solvated sheath structure, its wettability and flame-retarding properties are superior to those of the control group. This work expands the space for designing a stable fast-charge LFP-based system and sheds light on the possibility of replacing the most popular graphite||LFP system with Li ||LFP configuration with high energy density and stable cyclic performance.

Primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma in male: report a case with genetic testing and review of the literature.

Background: Primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare malignant trophoblastic tumor with a poor prognosis. Most choriocarcinomas originated from gonads, such as the ovaries and testes. Review the previous literature, only 41 cases were reported. Case Description: We reported that a 65-year-old man found shadows in the lungs when undergoing the X-ray examination. Positron emission tomography (PET) was performed to exclude metastatic disease before surgery. The patient underwent three-dimension uniportal thoracoscopic left upper lung resection and lymph node dissection. The operation was uneventful, and he was discharged on the fourth day postoperatively. Postoperative pathology: malignant trophoblastic tumors (choriocarcinoma). After the operation, the patient has genetically tested, the mutations in tumor protein p53 (TP53), NRAS proto-oncogene (NRAS), and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) were found. Conclusions: Primary pulmonary choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare and highly malignant tumor difficult to detect in the early stage. By analyzing the previous literature, the patients with active treatment have more extended survival periods than the patients without treatment (P=0.0051). Patients, including surgery, had better survival than patients without surgery (P=0.027) depending on the different treatment regimens. Hence, once the diagnosis was confirmed, the comprehensive treatment of surgical resection combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy is of great significance to improve the prognosis of patients.

Bioinspired and Ligand-Regulated Unnatural Prenylation and Geranylation of Oxindoles with Isoprene under Pd Catalysis.

In nature, prenylation and geranylation are two important metabolic processes for the creation of hemiterpenoids and monoterpenoids under enzyme catalysis. Herein, we have demonstrated bioinspired unnatural prenylation and geranylation of oxindoles using the basic industrial feedstock isoprene through ligand regulation under Pd catalysis. Pentenylated oxindoles (with C5 added) were attained with high selectivity when using a bisphosphine ligand, whereas upon switching to a monophosphine ligand, selectivity toward geranylated oxindoles (with C10 added) was achieved. Moreover, the head-to-head product could be further isomerized to an internal skipped diene under Pd-H catalysis. No stoichiometric by-product was formed in the process.

Establishment and validation of a novel immune-related prognostic signature in malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Background: Immune-related genes (IRGs) play an important role in the tumor immune microenvironment and affect tumor prognosis. This study aimed to establish a prognostic signature for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) patients. Methods: We obtained the relevant data of MPM patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to construct the prediction signature and verify it with the external validation dataset GSE2549. A nomogram was then constructed, and its predictive ability was evaluated and analyzed the level of immune cell infiltration in different groups in the signature. Results: An IRG-related prognostic signature composed of INHBA, CAT, SORT1, TNFSF13B, and BIRC5 was constructed, with patients divided into high-risk and low-risk groups according to the risk score. The survival time of overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free interval (DFI), and relapse-free survival (RFS) in low-risk groups was longer than in high-risk groups. Furthermore, the signature had high predictive performance, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of 1, 2, and 3 years could reach 0.853, 0.881, and 0.914, respectively. The predictive accuracy of the signature was verified by using the independent GSE2549 dataset. The levels of activated CD4 T cells, immature dendritic cells, and type 2 T helper cells were higher in high-risk patients. The gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) analysis showed that a high concentration and P53 signal pathways were found in high-risk groups. Conclusions: This research developed and verified a new type of immune prognostic signature based on five IRGs, which can predict the prognosis of tumor patients and provide new ideas for individualized treatment.
