Background: Glutamine metabolism presents a promising avenue for cancer prevention and treatment, but the underlying mechanisms in gastric cancer (GC) progression remain elusive.

Methods: The TCGA-STAD and GEO GSE62254 datasets, containing gene expression, clinical information, and survival outcomes of GC, were meticulously examined. Differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were employed to excavate a key module (MEturquoise), which was used to intersect with glutamine metabolism-related genes (GMRGs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to identify differentially expressed GMRGs (DE-GMRGs).

Background And Aim: Appendiceal adenocarcinoma, an exceedingly rare malignancy, sparks debate on the optimal surgical approach-appendectomy or right hemicolectomy-for early-stage cases. This study aims to investigate the impact of these two surgical methods on the survival prognosis of patients with early appendiceal adenocarcinoma.

Method: Utilizing a multicenter medical database, we gathered data from 168 patients diagnosed with T1 stage appendiceal adenocarcinoma admitted between January 2008 and January 2015.

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have attracted extensive attention as therapeutic targets in gastric cancer (GC). Circ_0003356 is known to be downregulated in GC tissues, but its cellular function and mechanisms remain undefined.

Aim: To investigate the role of circ_0003356 in GC at the molecular and cellular level.
