Article Synopsis
  • Hybrid ESD is a newer technique gaining attention for treating laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) compared to traditional ESD.
  • A study analyzed outcomes from 890 patients who underwent ESD, revealing that hybrid ESD resulted in shorter procedure times and lower hospitalization costs but had a lower R0 resection rate.
  • For LSTs sized 10-30 mm, hybrid ESD is a viable option that balances cost savings and operative efficiency without sacrificing resection quality.

Objective: To investigate the difference of early gastric cancer (EGC) detection rate and endoscopic characteristics between painless and ordinary electronic gastroscopy, and summarize the clinical data of gastric cancer (GC) patients.

Methods: Clinical data of 72,000 patients who underwent gastroscopy in the First People Hospital of Huzhou (Zhejiang, China) from January 2016 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into painless gastroscopy group (observation group, 36,000 cases) and ordinary gastroscopy group (control group, 36,000 cases) according to the examination methods.

Background: Gastric stromal tumors, originating from mesenchymal tissues, are one of the most common tumors of the digestive tract. For stromal tumors originating from the muscularis propria, compared with conventional endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) can remove deep lesions and digestive tract wall tumors completely. However, this technique has major limitations such as perforation, postoperative bleeding, and post-polypectomy syndrome.

Actin-binding LIM protein 1 (ABLIM1), a member of the LIM-domain protein family, has been reported as a suppressor in several tumors whereas its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unknown. In this study, we find that ABLIM1 is up-regulated in CRC patients and high levels of ABLIM1 predict short disease-free survival time. Knock-down of ABLIM1 in CRC cell lines by lenti-virus leads to inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion capabilities in vitro and impaired growth of tumor xenografts and liver metastasis lesions in vivo, while ABLIM1 overexpression accelerates tumor growth and invasion in vitro.

Screening, followed by colonoscopic polypectomy, has been widely performed in China. However, factors influencing age at onset of colorectal polyps and benefit-finding after polypectomy have been insufficiently studied or ignored. A total of 152 patients with colorectal polyps first detected in First Affiliated Hospital of Huzhou University from July to September 2022 were enrolled in this study.

The competition mechanism of exciton decay channels in the multilayer TMDs remains poorly understood. Here, the exciton dynamics in the stacked WS was studied. The exciton decay processes are divided into the fast and slow decay processes, which are dominated by the exciton-exciton annihilation (EEA) and defect-assisted recombination (DAR), respectively.

A 47-year-old woman was referred to our department with opportunistic endoscopic findings of two submucosal esophageal bulges, approximately half the circumference of the esophagus, both nearly 2.0 cm in size, and 24-27 cm from the incisors. Ultrasound endoscopy diagnosed smooth muscle tumors originating from the muscularis propria layer and she next underwent submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection.

BACKGROUND Studies are ongoing to determine the optimal adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for resected pancreatic carcinoma (PC). FOLFIRINOX is a chemotherapy regimen including oxaliplatin, irinotecan, leucovorin, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). S-1 is a fluoropyrimidine derivative widely used as ACT for gastrointestinal malignancy.

BACKGROUND Myelosuppression is one of the most common chemotherapy-induced adverse events and results in a series of clinical symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Shengbai decoction (SD) on chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression and survival of gastric cancer (GC) patients after radical resection. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from 115 patients with stage II-III GC who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy after radical resection between May 2015 and June 2017 in our hospital.

The third-order optical nonlinearities and the hot electron relaxation time (τ) of random-distributed gold nanorods arrays on glass (R-GNRA) have been investigated by using Z-scan and optical Kerr effect (OKE) techniques. Large third-order optical susceptibility (χ) with the value of 2.5 × 10 esu has been obtained around the plamsonic resonance peak under the excitation power intensity of 0.

Many features are shared between esophageal cancer (EC) and gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to explore whether known EC susceptibility loci are also important in the development of GC. A total of 21 genetic variants associated with EC in genome-wide association studies were evaluated with association of GC risk in 2631 cases and 4373 controls of Chinese ancestry.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the expression of microRNA (miR)-181b, protein inhibitor of activated STAT3 (PIAS3) and STAT3, and to examine the function of the miR-181b/PIAS3/STAT3 axis on the Warburg effect and xenograft tumour growth of colon cancer. Moreover, a positive feedback loop between miR-181b and STAT3 that regulated the Warburg effect in colon cancer was explored. A luciferase reporter assay was used to identify whether PIAS3 was a direct target of miR-181b.

A Au-Ag-Au multi-segmental hybrid structure has been synthesized by using an electrodeposition method based on an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane. The third-order optical nonlinearities, second harmonic generation (SHG) and photoluminescence (PL) properties containing ultrafast supercontinuum generation and plasmon mediated thermal emission have been investigated. Significant optical enhancements have been obtained near surface plasmon resonance wavelength in all the abovementioned nonlinear processes.

Plasmonic nanostructures with sub-10 nm gaps possess intense electric field enhancements, leading to their high reputation for exploring various functional applications at nanoscale. Till now, although large amounts of efforts have been devoted into investigation of such structures, few works were emphased on the nonlinear optical properties in near-ultraviolet (UV) region. Here, by combining sputtering technique and an optimized anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template growing method, we obtain aluminum (Al) nanorod array film (NRAF) with average rod diameter and gap size of 50 and 7 nm, respectively.

Surface plasmonic systems provide extremely efficient ways to modulate light-matter interaction in photon emission, light harvesting, energy conversion and transferring, etc. Various surface plasmon enhanced luminescent behaviors have been observed and investigated in these systems. But the origin of an avalanche-like photoluminescence, which was firstly reported in 2007 from Au and subsequently from Ag nanowire arrays/monomers, is still not clear.

Published data has shown inconsistent findings about the association of survivin -31 G/C polymorphism with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). This meta-analysis quantitatively assesses the results from published studies to provide a more precise estimate of the association between survivin -31 G/C polymorphism as a possible predictor of the risk of CRC. We conducted a literature search in the PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases.

Background: First-line triple therapy with levofloxa- cin and amoxicillin plus a proton pump inhibitor has been reported to be effective and well tolerated in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection. Studies have reported that cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 genotypes may affect the clinical efficacy of clarithromycinbased triple therapies, although there is only one report of such an effect with levofloxacin-based triple therapies.

Objectives: This study evaluated the clinical efficacy and tolerability of a 1-week course of triple therapy with levofloxacin and amoxicillin plus esomeprazole or rabeprazole as first-line treatment for H pylori infection in Chinese adults.

Objective: The main aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of clarithromycin and second-generation fluoroquinolone-based triple therapy vs. bismuth-based quadruple therapy for the treatment of persistent Helicobacter pylori infection.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted for articles and abstracts from 1981 to March 2009 using Medline, PubMed, EMBase, Google Scholar and CNKI (Chinese), Wanfang (Chinese) digital database and recent Digestive Disease Week, United European Gastroenterology Week, and European Helicobacter Study Group conferences were also performed.
