Alteration of mucin-type O-glycosylation is implicated in tumor progression and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Core 1 β1-3 Galactosyltransferase (C1GALT1) is a primary enzyme that regulates the elongation of core 1-derived mucin-type O-glycans. Dysregulation of C1GALT1 has been documented in multiple cancers and is associated with aberrant core 1 O-glycosylation and cancer aggressiveness; however, the expression of C1GALT1 and its role in CCA progression remains unknown.

Methods: Sixty patients with cholangiocarcinoma were included in the study. Permethylated -linked glycans from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma tissue and adjacent normal tissue were analyzed using nano-spray ionization-linear ion trap mass spectrometry.
Objective: To investigate the expression of glycosphingolipids in serum and tissue from patients with cholangiocarcinoma compared with healthy controls.
Methods: Nanospray ionization-linear ion trap mass spectrometry (NSI-MS) was used to demonstrate the comparative structural glycomics of glycosphingolipids in serum from patients with cholangiocarcinoma (n=15), compared with healthy controls (n = 15). GM2 expression in cholangiocarcinoma tissues (n = 60) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.
This study aimed to determine the prevalence and intensity of intestinal helminth infections (IHIs) among rural villagers in Waeng Noi district, Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand. A cross-sectional study was conducted between March 1 and July 30, 2018, among rural villagers from 30 rural villages in 2 subdistricts. The participants were selected from the village enrollment list after proportional allocation of the total sample size.
