The predictive value of laboratory parameters for no-reflow phenomenon in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction following primary percutaneous coronary intervention: A meta-analysis.

To date, the predictive role of laboratory indicators for the phenomenon of no flow is unclear. Hence, our objective was to conduct a meta-analysis to investigate the association between laboratory parameters and the risk of the no-reflow phenomenon in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This, in turn, aims to offer valuable insights for early clinical prediction of no-reflow.

Simple transanal total mesorectal resection versus laparoscopic transabdominal total mesorectal resection for the treatment of low rectal cancer: a single-center retrospective case-control study.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of simple TaTNE in the treatment of low rectal cancer compared with laparoscopic transabdominal TME.

Methods: We collected patients with low rectal cancer admitted to our hospital between January 2019 and November 2021 who received simple TaTME or laparoscopic transabdominal TME. The main outcome was the integrity of the TME specimen.

Colon cancer patient with long-term colon stent placement: Case report and literature review.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer mortality globally. Large bowel obstruction (occurring in 15-30% of patients with CRCs) accounts for approximately 80% of medical emergencies related to CRC. Currently, there is no standard treatment of this condition.

The Clinical Significance of Mesenteric Lymphocytes in Human Colorectal Cancer.

Objective: The mesentery is a potential site of residual tumor in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the mesenteric immune microenvironment remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the immune landscape of the mesentery, particularly the role of lymphocytes and its association with the clinicopathological characteristics of CRC.

Risk Factors for Recurrence of Radically Resected Mucinous Colorectal Adenocarcinoma.

Background: Mucinous adenocarcinoma (MA) is a subtype of colorectal cancer (CRC) associated with a higher incidence of local extension and worse survival compared to non-mucinous adenocarcinoma, but few studies have investigated surgery-related predictors for recurrence of MA. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the predictors for local recurrence and remote metastasis of MA after surgery.

Patients And Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 162 patients with mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma (MAC) after radical resection.

Outcomes of Laparoscopic Surgery for Mucinous Colorectal Adenocarcinoma.

Mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma (MAC) has a higher incidence of local extension, leading to lower overall resection rates. Few studies have investigated the outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for MACs to date. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the validity of laparoscopic surgery for mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC).

PD-L1 promotes colorectal cancer stem cell expansion by activating HMGA1-dependent signaling pathways.

PD-L1 is critical for tumor cell escape from immune surveillance by inhibiting T cell function via the PD-1 receptor. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies might potently enhance antitumor effects in various tumors, but the effect of PD-L1 on colorectal cancer stem cells (CSCs) remains unclear. We observed high PD-L1 expression in CD133CD44 colorectal CSCs and CSC-enriched tumorspheres.

Long non‑coding RNA 00152 functions as a competing endogenous RNA to regulate NRP1 expression by sponging with miRNA‑206 in colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying colorectal tumor metastasis and growth remain elusive. Recently, accumulating evidence has indicated that long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in CRC progression and metastasis; however, the biological role and clinical significance of lncRNA 00152 (lnc00152) in CRC remains largely unknown. Thus, in this study, lnc00152 expression was measured in 80 human CRC tissue samples, 40 non‑cancerous tissue samples, and 3 CRC cell lines (SW480, SW620 and LoVo) using RT‑qPCR.

Gambogic Acid Efficiently Kills Stem-Like Colorectal Cancer Cells by Upregulating ZFP36 Expression.

Background/aims: Gambogic acid (GA), the main active compound of Gamboge hanburyi, has been reported to be a potential novel antitumor drug. Whether GA inhibits putative cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are considered to be the major cause of cancer treatment failure, remains largely unknown. This study investigated whether GA inhibits the CSCs of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its possible mechanisms.

Histone deacetylase-2 expression and activity in children with nephrotic syndrome with different glucocorticoid response.

Background: Glucocorticosteroid (GC) is one of the most effective drugs available for the treatment of primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) in children. However, some patients show little or no response to GC. The purpose of our research was to observe and describe the different levels of histone deacetylase-2 (HDAC2) expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes in children with PNS compared with various responses to the GC treatment, with the primary aim to assess the correlation between HDAC2 and GC resistance in PNS children.

The Cytoprotective Effect of Hyperoside against Oxidative Stress Is Mediated by the Nrf2-ARE Signaling Pathway through GSK-3β Inactivation.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) acts as a negative regulator of NF-E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) by inducing Nrf2 degradation and nuclear export. Our previous study demonstrated that the flavonoid hyperoside elicits cytoprotection against oxidative stress by activating the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway, thus increasing the expression of antioxidant enzymes, such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. However, the role of GSK-3β in hyperoside-mediated Nrf2 activation is unclear.

[Study on main pharmacodynamic effects for Schisandra lignans based upon network pharmacology].

In this study, we focused on the study of pharmacodynamic effects for 6 major bioactive lignans of Schisandra chinensis, namely deoxyschizandrin, schisandrin B, schisandrin C, schisandrin, schizandrol B and schisantherin A. A compound-gene-pathway network, which contained 124 related genes and 88 pathways, was constructed by collecting drug genes through mining relevant literatures and network pharmacology analysis. Based on the network analysis, 32 pathways and 80 related genes were associated with inflammation, which implied that anti-inflammatory might be the major pharmacodynamic effects of these compounds.

miR-892a regulated PPP2R2A expression and promoted cell proliferation of human colorectal cancer cells.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancy cancers in the world. Aberrant microRNA expression is involved in human diseases including cancer. In the present study, we investigated the miR-892a's role in CRC cell proliferation.

[Impact of fragile histidine triad gene transfection on the proliferation and apoptosis of human colorectal cancer cell].

Objective: To investigate the effect of fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene transfection on human colorectal cancer cell line SW480 through up-regulation of caspase-8 expression.

Methods: The eukaryotic expression plasmid containing FHIT, pRc/CMV2-FHIT was prepared and purified, and then identified by restrictive enzyme digestion. pRc/CMV2-FHIT was transfected into SW480 cells, and positive cell clones (SW480-FHIT, study group) were selected and amplified.

Influence of Mg2+ and Cd2+ on the interaction between sparfloxacin and calf thymus DNA.

Mg(2+) and Cd(2+) have different binding capacity to sparfloxacin, and have different combination modes with calf thymus DNA. Selecting these two different metal ions, the influence of them on the binding constants between SPFX and calf thymus DNA, as well as the related mechanism have been studied by using absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The result shows that Cd(2+) has weak binding capacity to SPFX in the SPFX-Cd(2+) binary system, but can decrease the binding between SPFX and DNA obviously in SPFX-DNA-Cd(2+) ternary system.
