The Effects of HIPEC on Survival of Gastric Cancer Patients With Peritoneal Metastasis.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been recommended by Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) and several other academic organizations as the treatment of choice for selected patients with gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis (GCPM). This review updates the recent progress in CRS+HIPEC for GCPM, with particular focus on the potential curing effects of this approach for subclinical GCPM patients.

Incidence and prognostic nomogram for resected non-small cell neuroendocrine tumor: A population-based respective study in China and the SEER database.

Background: Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors, including small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell neuroendocrine tumor (NSCLC-NET), have obvious heterogeneity. The comparison between SCLC and NSCLC-NET, and prognostic nomogram of resected NSCLC-NET have not been performed.

Methods: We retrieved data from SEER database.

Dynamic Seed Emission, Dispersion, and Deposition from Horseweed ( (L.) ).

The wide dispersion of glyphosate-resistant (GR) horseweed ( (L.) L.) biotypes has been reported in agricultural fields in many states.

The Prognostic Value of Multiple Systemic Inflammatory Biomarkers in Preoperative Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

Introduction: The preoperative inflammatory and nutrient status of the patient are closely correlated to the outcome of surgery-based treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of inflammation and nutrient biomarkers in preoperative patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by constructing a prognostic predictive model.

Methods: We retrospectively studied 995 patients with NSCLC who underwent surgery in the Shandong Provincial Hospital and randomly allocated them into the training and validation group with a ratio of 7:3.

Gender specific eRNA TBX5-AS1 as the immunological biomarker for male patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma in pan-cancer screening.

As an innate feature of human beings, gender differences have an influence on various biological phenotypes, yet it does not attract enough attention in genomics studies. The prognosis of multiple carcinomas usually exhibits a favorable ending for female patients, but the neglect of gender differences can cause serious bias in survival analysis. Enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) are mostly downstream of androgens or estrogen.

Biological calcium carbonate with a unique organic-inorganic composite structure to enhance biochar stability.

Biochar stability is a key factor affecting the efficiency of soil carbon sequestration. Mineral calcium carbonate (M-CaCO) can enhance the stability of biochar, and the mechanism has been extensively studied; however, similar studies on biological calcium carbonate (Bio-CaCO), another natural form of calcium carbonate, are lacking. In this work, Bio-CaCO was used as an additive to explore the mechanism by which it enhances the stability of biochar.

Is Preoperative Fibrinogen Associated with the Survival Prognosis of Gastric Cancer Patients? A Multi-centered, Propensity Score-Matched Retrospective Study.

Background: The prognostic significance of preoperative plasma fibrinogen in patients with operable gastric cancer remains under debate. This study aimed to elucidate the prognostic value of fibrinogen in gastric cancer patients underwent gastrectomy.

Methods: A total of 4351 patients with gastric cancer collected from three comprehensive medical centers were retrospectively evaluated.
