The role of microbiota in gastric cancer: A comprehensive review.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) continues to pose a significant global threat in terms of cancer-related fatalities. Despite notable advancements in medical research and therapies, further investigation is warranted to elucidate its underlying etiology and risk factors. Recent times have witnessed an escalated emphasis on comprehending the role of the microbiota in cancer development.

Association of the rs3917647 polymorphism of the SELP gene with malnutrition in gastric cancer.

Background: Malnutrition and cachexia are common syndromes in patients with gastric cancer (GC) and are associated with poor quality of life and poor disease prognosis. However, there is still a lack of molecular factors that can predict malnutrition or cachexia in cancer. Studies have shown that among the potential contributors to the development of cancer cachexia, the level of the inflammatory response to P-selectin is regulated by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the promoter region of the SELP gene.

TNF-α-1031T/C gene polymorphism as a predictor of malnutrition in patients with gastric cancer.

Introduction: Malnutrition is a complex clinical syndrome, the exact mechanism of which is yet not fully understood. Studies have found that malnutrition is associated with anorexia and inadequate intake, tumor depletion, leptin, tumor-induced metabolic abnormalities in the body, and catabolic factors produced by the tumor in the circulation and cytokines produced by the host immune system. Among these, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are present in the gene encoding the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α.

Methods: A retrospective style was adopted.

Late‑onset white cord syndrome following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: A case report.

White cord syndrome refers to an emerging neurological dysfunction occurring after spinal decompression surgery with hyperenhancing changes on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T2WI). The pathophysiological mechanism is hypothesized to be an ischemia-reperfusion injury following chronic ischemic spinal cord decompression. A 54-year-old man was admitted to Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital with complaints of numbness and weakness in the extremities and swelling in the neck.

Alterations in the gastric microbiota and metabolites in gastric cancer: An update review.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality worldwide. Numerous studies have shown that the gastric microbiota can contribute to the occurrence and development of GC by generating harmful microbial metabolites, suggesting the possibility of discovering biomarkers. Metabolomics has emerged as an advanced promising analytical method for the analysis of microbiota-derived metabolites, which have greatly accelerated our understanding of host-microbiota metabolic interactions in GC.
