CIZ1 aggravates gastric cancer progression via mediating FBXL19-AS1 and miR-339-3p.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a prevalent malignancy with high morbidity and mortality. CDKN1A interacting zinc finger protein 1 (CIZ1) has been demonstrated to have oncogenic functions in the development of cancers. We detected CIZ1 expression via quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR).

Jejunum-ileum circuit procedure improves glucose metabolism in diabetic rats independent of weight loss.

Objective: To introduce a lower-risk novel surgical procedure to achieve diabetes reversal along with associated hormonal changes.

Methods: Diabetic rats were randomly assigned to jejunum-ileum circuit (JIC), sham-JIC, ileal interposition (IT), and sham-IT groups. The JIC group included two subgroups: short (JIC-S) and long (JIC-L), based on the length between anastomosis and Treitz ligament (LAT ).
