Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how effective endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided bite-on-bite biopsy and fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) are for diagnosing gastric tumors that were missed during standard endoscopic biopsies.
  • The research included 40 cases from 2017 to 2023, showing that EUS-guided bite-on-bite biopsy diagnosed 95.7% of malignancies, while EUS-FNA confirmed 79.2%.
  • Findings suggest that EUS-guided bite-on-bite biopsy is a reliable method for diagnosing gastric lesions, especially when initial biopsies fail to detect cancer.

Na exclusion from above-ground tissues via the Na-selective transporter HKT1;5 is a major salt-tolerance mechanism in crops. Using the expression genome-wide association study and yeast-one-hybrid screening, we identified TaSPL6-D, a transcriptional suppressor of TaHKT1;5-D in bread wheat. SPL6 also targeted HKT1;5 in rice and Brachypodium.

We reported a 47-year-old female with a history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy presented with a complex duodenal fistula. The bleeding artery embolization and endoscopic suture of the duodenal fistula were performed successfully. We highlight the endoscopic tissue clip suture as a safe and feasible option when surgery is too risky.

Article Synopsis
  • * Exogenous selenium (Se) can potentially reduce Hg concentrations in plants, but research on its effectiveness has been inconsistent; a meta-analysis of 1,193 data records showed a significant dose-dependent reduction in Hg when Se was applied.
  • * The optimal Se/Hg molar ratio for minimizing Hg accumulation in plants is 1-3, with Se(VI) being more effective than Se(IV); this indicates that using Se can help decrease Hg levels in crops like rice, reducing risks to human health.

Aim: To explore whether the liquid-liquid phase separation- (LLPS-) related genes were potential prognostic markers that could contribute to the further classification of low-grade gliomas (LGGs).

Methods: The LLPS-related genes were subjected to functional enrichment analysis. The univariable, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, and multivariable stepwise Cox regression analyses were performed to develop an LLPS-related gene signature (GS) in the discovery data set.
