Efficacy and regulatory strategies of gut microbiota in immunotherapy: a narrative review.

Background And Objective: With advances in gut microbiome research, it has been recognized that the gut microbiome has an important and far-reaching impact on many human diseases, including cancer. Therefore, more and more researchers are focusing on the treatment of gut flora in tumors. In this article, we present a review of the mechanisms of gut microbes in tumor immunotherapy and related studies to provide reference for further research and insights into the clinical application of gut microbes.

Enhanced visible light photocatalytic performance of carbon and oxygen co-doped carbon nitride with a three-dimensional structure: Performance and mechanism study.

As a cost-effective photocatalyst, carbon nitride (g-CN) holds tremendous promise for addressing energy shortages and environmental pollution. However, its application is limited by disadvantages such as low specific surface area and easy recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. This study introduces C and O co-doped g-CN with a three-dimensional (3D) structure achieved through a straightforward one-step calcination process, demonstrating excellent photocatalytic activity of hydrogen production and oxytetracycline degradation, with superoxide radicals as the primary active species.

Pan-cancer analysis of the tumorigenic role of Fanconi anemia complementation group D2 (FANCD2) in human tumors.

Monoubiquitination of FANCD2 is a central step in the activation of the Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway after DNA damage. Defects in the FA pathway centered around FANCD2 not only lead to genomic instability but also induce tumorigenesis. At present, few studies have investigated FANCD2 in tumors, and no pan-cancer research on FANCD2 has been conducted.

Suppression of tumorigenesis in LUAD by LRP1B through regulation of the IL-6-JAK-STAT3 pathway.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common type of lung cancer. LRP1B was initially identified as a cancer suppressor in several cancers. However, the potential biological phenotypes and molecular mechanisms of LRP1B in LUAD have not been fully investigated.

A narrative review of intraoperative use of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging in gastrointestinal cancer: situation and future directions.

Background And Objective: As a surgical tool, indocyanine green (ICG) is increasingly used in surgery, especially in gastric and colorectal surgery. The use of ICG fluorescence imaging can improve the accuracy of tumor resection and potentially improve surgical outcomes for cancer patients. However, there are still different opinions or controversies on the application of ICG in the literature and the administration of ICG is still not uniform.

ITGB1-mediated molecular landscape and cuproptosis phenotype induced the worse prognosis in diffuse gastric cancer.

Diffuse type gastric cancer was identified with relatively worse prognosis than other Lauren's histological classification. Integrin β1 (ITGB1) was a member of integrin family which played a markedly important role in tumorigenesis and progression. However, the influence of ITGB1 in diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) remains uncertain.

treats ulcerative colitis through the PI3K-AKT and TNF signaling pathway according to network pharmacology and molecular docking.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that prevails mainly in western countries. Due to the unknown etiology of UC, the purpose of treatments has predominantly comprised symptomatic and pain relief. With extensive research focusing on the pathogenesis of UC, various novel treatments have emerged, although their efficiency has remained unsatisfactory.

A novel 3'tRNA-derived fragment tRF-Val promotes proliferation and inhibits apoptosis by targeting EEF1A1 in gastric cancer.

At present, it is commonly believed that tRFs and tiRNAs are formed by the specific and selective shear of tRNAs under certain pressure stimulation, rather than by random degradation of tRNA. tRFs and tiRNAs have been reported to contribute to the biological process of a variety of human cancers. However, the evidence for the mechanisms of tRFs and tiRNAs in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer (GC) is still insufficient.

Naples prognostic score, a novel prognostic score for patients with high- and intermediate-risk gastrointestinal stromal tumours after surgical resection.

Background: A novel multidimensional inflammatory and nutritional assessment system named the Naples prognostic score could serve as an independent prognostic indicator. However, its significance in patients with high- and intermediate-risk gastrointestinal stromal tumours remains unclear.

Methods: We performed this retrospective cohort study based on a prospectively collected database of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) between March 2010 and December 2019.

[4+3]-Cycloaddition Reaction of Sulfilimines with Cyclobutenones: Access to Benzazepinones.

A catalyst-free [4+3]-cycloaddition reaction of -aryl sulfilimines with cyclobutenones is described, which provides a straightforward protocol for synthesizing 1,5-dihydro-2-benzo[]azepin-2-ones under mild reaction conditions. This reaction features a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance and does not require catalysts or additives. Moreover, using -pyridinyl sulfilimine as the substrate, a series of pyridoazepinones have also been prepared.
