MYC and NCAPG2 as molecular targets of colorectal cancer and gastric cancer in nursing.

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in intestinal tract, the early symptoms are not obvious. Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the gastric mucosal epithelium. However, the role of MYC and non-SMC condensin II complex subunit G2 (NCAPG2) in colorectal cancer and gastric cancer remains unclear.

Overexpression of ZNF169 promotes the growth and proliferation of colorectal cancer cells via the upregulation of ANKZF1.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. The 5‑year survival rate of patients diagnosed with the early stages of the disease is markedly higher than that of patients in the advanced stages. Therefore, identifying novel biomarkers and drug targets for CRC is critical for clinical practice.

Nicotine improves DSS-induced colitis by inhibiting NLRP3 and altering gut microbiota.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory disease affecting the rectum and colon. Numerous epidemiological studies have identified smoking as a protective factor for UC. Dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota and release of inflammatory factors are well-established characteristics associated with UC.

Mining and exploration of rehabilitation nursing targets for colorectal cancer.

Background: There are often subtle early symptoms of colorectal cancer, a common malignancy of the intestinal tract. However, it is not yet clear how MYC and NCAPG2 are involved in colorectal cancer.

Method: We obtained colorectal cancer datasets GSE32323 and GSE113513 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO).

Role of PAX6, TRPA1, BCL11B, MCOLN2, CUX1, EMX1 in colorectal cancer and osteosarcoma.

Colorectal cancer is a cancer that arises from the abnormal growth of cells in the colon or rectum. Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common primary bone tumor with high degree of malignancy. The configuration files for colorectal cancer dataset GSE142279 and OS datasets GSE197158 and GSE206448 were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus database using the platforms GPL20795, GPL20301, and GPL24676.

Therapeutic effects of coptisine derivative EHLJ7 on colorectal cancer by inhibiting PI3K/AKT pathway.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world with high mortality rate. EHLJ7 is a quaternary coptisine derivative synthesized by our institute. In this study, the role and mechanism of EHLJ7 on CRC are further elucidated.

Joint effect of RRP9 and DDX21 on development of colorectal cancer and keloid.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignancy in the gastrointestinal tract. Keloid refers to abnormal scar tissue that forms on the skin or mucous membrane. The relationship between RRP9 and DDX21 and the two diseases is unclear.

RRP9 and DDX21 as new biomarkers of colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer originates from the epithelium of the large intestine and is a common malignant tumor in the gastrointestinal tract. However, the relationship between RRP9 and DDX21 and colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. GSE134834, GSE206800, and GSE209892 profiles for CRC were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database generated using GPL20115 and GPL23126.

Roles of DSCC1 and GINS1 in gastric cancer.

Gastric carcinoma is a common malignant tumor originating from gastric mucosal epithelium. However, role of DS-cell cycle-dependent protein 1 (DSCC1) and GINS1 in gastric carcinoma remains unclear. The gastric carcinoma datasets GSE79973 and GSE118916 were downloaded from gene expression omnibus.

Role of SNAP25 on the occurrence and development of eosinophilic gastritis.

Eosinophilic gastritis is characterized by gastrointestinal symptoms accompanied by peripheral eosinophilia. This study aims to explore the association between eosinophilic gastritis and Synaptosome Associated Protein 25 (SNAP25), and provide a new direction for the diagnosis and treatment of eosinophilic gastritis. GSE54043 was downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database.

The Efficacy of Percutaneous Transhepatic Gallbladder Drainage Combined with Gallbladder-Preserving Cholecystolithotomy in High-Risk Patients with Acute Calculous Cholecystitis.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the value of combining percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGD) with gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy (GPC) in high-risk patients with acute calculous cholecystitis.

Methods: Clinical data from 74 high-risk patients with acute calculous cholecystitis, admitted to our hospital between October 2018 and September 2021, were analyzed retrospectively. All the patients underwent PTGD, and 59 of them underwent delayed cholecystectomy, while 14 patients were subjected to GPC 8-12 weeks after the PTGD; one patient, whose life expectancy was fewer than 6 months, was not treated for gallstones after PTGD.

Preoperatively predicting the pathological types of acute appendicitis using machine learning based on peripheral blood biomarkers and clinical features: a retrospective study.

Background: This study aimed to establish machine learning models for preoperative prediction of the pathological types of acute appendicitis.

Methods: Based on histopathology, 136 patients with acute appendicitis were included and divided into three types: acute simple appendicitis (SA, n=8), acute purulent appendicitis (PA, n=104), and acute gangrenous or perforated appendicitis (GPA, n=24). Patients with SA/PA and PA/GPA were divided into training (70%) and testing (30%) sets.

The Application of Core Needle Biopsy Through the Trocar Hole in the Surgical Operation of Endoscopically Unresectable Giant Colon Polyps: A Systematic Review Study.

Introduction: The study aimed to investigate the application of core needle biopsy through the trocar hole during surgery on endoscopically unresectable giant colon polyps.

Methods: The clinical data of 51 patients with endoscopically unresectable giant colon polyps from May 2016 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary observational outcomes were two comparative analyses of pathologic results, using the kappa index: comparison of the pathologic results from the preoperative colonoscopy and the postoperative pathologic results and comparison of the intraoperative pathologic results from core needle biopsy of the intestinal wall and the postoperative pathologic results.

Design, synthesis and structure-activity relationships of mangostin analogs as cytotoxic agents.

In order to better understand the structure-activity relationship of mangostin, a series of xanthone derivatives based on α-mangostin were designed and synthesized. All the compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against a panel of five human cancer cell lines (HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7 and SW480) using MTT assays. Most of them showed cytotoxicity and most of all, compounds 1a and 2h showed the highest cytotoxic potency by HL-60 cancer cell lines with IC values of 5.
