Phlebopus portentosus (Berk. and Broome) Boedijn is an attractive edible mushroom and is considered the only bolete for which artificial cultivation in vitro has been achieved. Gene expression analysis has become widely used in research on edible fungi and is important for elucidating the functions of genes involved in complex biological processes.

Methods: The rectal cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection plus temporary ileostomy were recruited in a single clinical database from Jun 2013 to Jun 2020. The SSES group and the SNS group were compared using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis.
Background: The purpose of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) was to reduce surgical pressure and accelerate postoperative functional recovery. Although the application of biologics in treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has changed treatment strategies, most patients with IBD still require surgery.
Aim: To evaluate the advantage of ERAS in IBD surgery.
Phlebopus (Berk. and Broome) Boedijin, a widely consumed mushroom in China and Thailand, is the first species in the order Boletaceae to have been industrially cultivated on a large scale. However, to date, the lignocellulose degradation system and molecular basis of fruiting body development in have remained cryptic.

Methods: Serum was collected from 70 CRC patients and 50 healthy volunteer controls.
Patients with cancer frequently show glucose intolerance. This study is to estimate the status of total diabetes and prediabetes in breast cancer patients after systemic treatment through an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in China. All the 119 breast cancer patients more than 3 months after systemic treatment with surgery and chemotherapy participated in the study.

Recent studies demonstrated that AMPK can also inhibit nuclear factor-κB, suppress the expression of inflammatory genes and attenuate inflammatory injury through phosphorylating its downstream targets including SIRT1, PGC-lα, p53 and FoxO3a. In addition, the widely used antidiabetic metformin also exerts its anti-inflammatory effects through activating AMPK.
