Nesfatin-1 is a potential diagnostic biomarker for gastric cancer.

The lack of reliable plasma biomarkers limits their use in the diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC). The current study aimed to determine whether plasma nesfatin-1 can be used as a novel non-invasive biomarker for the diagnosis of GC. The levels of nesfatin-1 in 40 patients with GC and 40 healthy individuals, who were selected from the Chaohu Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University, were assessed.

Low KISS1 expression predicts poor prognosis for patients with colorectal cancer: A meta-analysis.

KISS1 and KISS1R, a novel pair of metastasis suppressors, are likely to be associated with the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, a meta-analysis was performed to study the role of KISS1 and KISS1R in CRC. Heterogeneity, stability and publication bias were all estimated.

[Experimental study on effect of total flavone of Ginkgo biloba on delaying cell senescence].

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of delaying the senescence of human diploid fibroblast (2BS) by total flavone of Ginkgo biloba (FG).

Methods: The drug sera of FG was used to treat the 2BS. The population doublings of 2BS cells were observed, the mRNA expression of P16 gene was determined by fluorescence real-time quantitative PCR.
