Article Synopsis
- Gastric cancer has a high global mortality rate (70%) and involves immune checkpoints like PD-1 and PD-L1, which are important in its progression.
- Solamargine, derived from traditional Chinese medicine, shows potential in suppressing various cancers, but its specific impact on PD-L1 in gastric cancer was unclear.
- The study found that solamargine inhibits gastric cancer cell growth and metastasis by downregulating STAT3 signaling and reducing PD-L1 expression, suggesting it could be a promising treatment strategy for gastric cancer.
Background: In endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD), it is complicated to reposition the catheter from the mouth to nostril. We developed a new technique using an 1-mL syringe tube combined with guide-wire when repositioning an ENBD tube from mouth to nose. The aim of this study was to verify its utility.

Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) in colonoscopy examination.
Methods: We randomized 349 patients to undergo colonoscopy with insufflation of air (n=175) or CO(2) (n=174). At colonoscopy, p (ET CO(2)) was observed at 4 time points: before the exam, arrived caecum, back rectum, and after the exam.
