Abstract Groundwater is an essential resource contributing substantially to the annual total water supply. It enables agricultural irrigation and provides billions of people with their main source of drinking water. But overuse of groundwater has decreased its supply and, in certain places, resulted in soil subsidence. In the complex hydrogeological terrain of Timergara, traditional groundwater exploration is challenging and costly, requiring more efficient mapping approaches. Groundwater recharge potential zones must be assessed in order to guarantee sustainable groundwater management. This study uses Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) methodologies to evaluate groundwater potential sites… More >

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Sentinel-3 as an alternative to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) for generating high spatiotemporal resolution land surface temperature (LST) data. The Enhanced Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (ESTARFM) and the machine-learning-based Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm were independently assessed for fusing MODIS–Landsat and Sentinel-3–Landsat data. This comparison enabled the evaluation of each model’s capability to reconstruct spatiotemporal LST variations and assess the performance of the two sensors in the fusion process. The results showed that XGBoost outperformed ESTARFM in capturing complex and heterogeneous LST patterns,… More >

Abstract Objectives: Gamma-aminobutyric acid type B (GABAB) receptors are involved in tumor progression, and baclofen exerts broad-spectrum antitumor effects in various cancers. Nevertheless, its specific function and underlying molecular mechanisms in glioma are still largely unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of baclofen on glioma cells and elucidate the associated signaling pathways. Methods: The antitumor effects of baclofen were evaluated in glioma cell lines, and its underlying molecular mechanisms were explored using transcriptome sequencing integrated with Western blotting. The in vivo antitumor efficacy of baclofen was further verified in animal models. Results: In vitro functional assays revealed that… More >

Abstract Objectives: Germline variants in cancer predisposition genes have been increasingly recognized in pediatric cancers. However, their spectrum in East Asian children with central nervous system (CNS) tumors remains insufficiently defined. This study investigated the prevalence and clinical significance of pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline mutations in Korean children, adolescents, and young adults (AYAs) with CNS tumors. Methods: We performed targeted next-generation sequencing of 358 cancer-associated genes using peripheral blood DNA from 108 patients. Germline variants were classified according to ACMG/AMP guidelines and curated using ClinVar and relevant literature. Results: Among 108 patients, 17 (15.7%) carried P/LP… More >

Abstract Background: Pediatric sarcomas are aggressive malignancies characterized by marked biological heterogeneity and a high risk of relapse. Standard surveillance relies on imaging and invasive biopsies, which may fail to detect early molecular disease. Liquid biopsy using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and microRNAs offers a minimally invasive strategy for longitudinal monitoring. This study aimed to evaluate dynamic changes in ctDNA and circulating microRNAs during treatment and examined their associations with treatment response, disease recurrence, and survival outcomes. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 100 pediatric patients with histologically confirmed sarcomas. Serial peripheral blood samples were collected at… More >

Abstract Objective: Osimertinib can selectively inhibit both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) sensitizing and T790M gatekeeper mutations, and has shown remarkable therapeutic effects in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. However, almost all patients inevitably develop drug resistance. Herein, we sought to clarify the roles of exosomal lncRNA H19 in modulating osimertinib resistance, focusing on the PI3K-PTEN-Akt signaling axis. Methods: Functional assays, including cell viability assay, colony formation, cell apoptosis and xenograft mouse, employed in evaluate the effects of exosomal lncRNA H19 on cell growth and apoptosis. RNA quantitation and western blot were adopted to demonstrate the regulatory roles of… More >

Abstract Objectives: Uridine-cytidine kinase 2 (UCK2) plays a crucial role in the pyrimidine salvage pathway, but its function in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is still largely unclear. The study aimed to investigate the expression, prognostic value, biological functions, and molecular mechanisms of UCK2 in LUAD. Methods: Bioinformatic analyses were performed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Set Cancer Analysis (GSCA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and Genotype Tissue Expression (GTEx) datasets. In vitro assays evaluated the effect of UCK2 overexpression on LUAD cells. Co-immunoprecipitation and pathway analyses were utilized to explore the underlying mechanism. Immune landscape and drug sensitivity… More >
