Lymphoepithelioma-Like Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Associated with Epstein-Barr Virus and Hepatitis Virus: Case Report and a Literature Review.

Background: Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma of the liver is a rare primary malignancy of the liver. The identification of lymphoepithelioma-like cholangiocarcinoma is very limited as there are currently very few reports of such cases. Although previous studies have reported the lymphoepithelioma-like cholangiocarcinoma pathologic features, few studies have revealed the clinic features, imaging characteristics, and clinical course and outcomes.

Bioinformatics analysis reveals TSPAN1 as a candidate biomarker of progression and prognosis in pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer (PCC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system that is resistant to traditional treatments and has an overall 5-year survival rate of <7%. Transcriptomics research provides reliable biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and clinical precision treatment, as well as the identification of molecular targets for the development of drugs to improve patient survival. We sought to identify new biomarkers for PCC by combining transcriptomics and clinical data with current knowledge regarding molecular mechanisms.

Comprehensive treatment of rare multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1: A case report.

Background: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by mutations of the gene. It is characterized by hyperparathyroidism and involves the pancreas, anterior pituitary, duodenum, and adrenal gland. Here, we report a 40-year-old male patient with MEN1 who first manifested as thymic carcinoid, then primary hyperparathyroidism and prolactinoma, and a decade later pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.

Whole Transcriptome Analysis of Obese Adipose Tissue Suggests u001kfc.1 as a Potential Regulator to Glucose Homeostasis.

Long non-coding RNA (LncRNAs) are newly highlighted key factors controlling brown adipogenesis and development, but their regulatory effect to white adipocyte is still merely understood. Deciphering their underlying mechanism could be a novel way to discovering potential targets of obesity. Therefore, we conducted a whole transcriptome analysis in white adipose tissue from obese patients for the first time.

Combined Exosomal GPC1, CD82, and Serum CA19-9 as Multiplex Targets: A Specific, Sensitive, and Reproducible Detection Panel for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal malignancy with poor prognosis due to the lack of early symptoms and resultant late diagnosis. Thus, it is extremely urgent to establish a simple and effective method for the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Although some studies have provided positive evidence for the use of exosomal surface protein glypican-1 (GPC1) as a biomarker for early screening, its clinical application is still controversial.

Clinical outcome of open surgery versus laparoscopic surgery for cirrhotic hepatocellular carcinoma patients: a meta-analysis.

Background And Aim: Open surgery remains the major approach to treat hepatocellular carcinoma, and laparoscopy-assisted liver resection has been recommended as a superior treatment. However, the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery versus open surgery for cirrhotic patients is under debate. Therefore, the aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic and open resection of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with cirrhosis.

Naringenin inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion as well as induces apoptosis of gastric cancer SGC7901 cell line by downregulation of AKT pathway.

The preliminary anti-cancer activity of Naringenin (Nar) has been proven in several cancers. However, the therapeutic activity of Nar on gastric cancer SGC-7901 cell line is not yet well understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect and mechanisms of Nar on proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of SGC-7901 cells.
