- The study aimed to determine how the CALLY index impacts patients with gastric cancer who have undergone gastrectomy, using data from 617 patients treated between 2014 and 2020 at Osaka City General Hospital.
- Researchers calculated the CALLY index using a specific formula and compared it to other biomarkers to assess its predictive value for patient outcomes.
- Results indicated that the CALLY index had the highest predictive value for overall survival and cancer-specific survival rates, making it a significant indicator for major complications in these patients.
β-Casomorphin-7 (BCM), a breakdown product of milk β-casein, exhibits opioid activity. Opioids are known to affect the immune system, but the effects of BCM on ulcerative colitis (UC) are not clear. We examined the effects of BCM on mucosal immunity using a mouse dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis model and an in vitro CD8+ T cell activation model.
