Research topics from publications: Sophoraflavanone G suppresses the progression of triple‐negative breast cancer via the inactivation of EGFR–PI3K–AKT signaling; Gene mutation analysis using next‐generation sequencing and its clinical significance in patients with myeloid neoplasm: A multi‐center study from China. Representative work: Sophoraflavanone G (SG), a prenylated flavonoid extracted from Sophora flavescens, has been found to possess antitumor activity in several types of human cancer. However, the biological functions and molecular mechanism of SG in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are required to be investigated. On the basis of network pharmacology methods and molecular docking technology, estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR) was identified as a potential target, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-AKT) signaling was demonstrated as an important signaling pathway for SG to treat breast cancer. TNBC cells (BT-549 and MDA-MB-231) were used to determine the effects of SG in vitro. BACKGROUND: Myeloid neoplasms (MN) tend to relapse and deteriorate. Exploring the genomic mutation landscape of MN using next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a great measure to clarify the mechanism of oncogenesis and progression of MN. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective study investigated 303 patients with MN using NGS from 2019 to 2021. The characteristics of the mutation landscape in the MN subgroups and the clinical value of gene variants were analyzed. RESULTS: At least one mutation was detected in 88.11% of the patients (267/303). TET2 was the most common mutation in the cohort, followed by GATA2, ASXL1, FLT3, DNMT3A, and TP53. Among patients with myeloid leukemia (ML), multivariat
