Who would avoid severe adverse events from nasointestinal tube in small bowel obstruction? A matched case-control study.

Background: Nasointestinal tubes (NITs) have been increasingly used in patients with small bowel obstruction (SBO); However, severe adverse events (SAEs) of NITs might threaten the lives of patients. The indications of NITs need to be identified. This study was designed to explore the indications for the insertion of NITs in patients with SBO and to suggest the optimal strategies for individuals based on the outcomes of SAEs.

TNFRSF11B Suppresses Memory CD4+ T Cell Infiltration in the Colon Cancer Microenvironment: A Multiomics Integrative Analysis.

Background: Colorectal cancer is a lethal cancer worldwide. Due to the low tumor mutation burden and low proportion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in the microenvironment of most patients, innovative immunotherapeutic approaches need to be identified.

Methods: Using the TCGA-COAD dataset (n = 514), we identified TNFRSF11B as a prognostic factor of colon cancer.

The Bioinformatics-Based Analysis Identifies 7 Immune-Related Genes as Prognostic Biomarkers for Colon Cancer.

Colon cancer poses a great threat to human health. Currently, there is no effective treatment for colon cancer due to its complex causative factors. Immunotherapy has now become a new method for tumor treatment.

CDKN2B antisense RNA 1 suppresses tumor growth in human colorectal cancer by targeting MAPK inactivator dual-specificity phosphatase 1.

Aberrant expression of long noncoding RNA cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA 1 (CDKN2B-AS1) has been detected in human colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate the role of CDKN2B-AS1 and the underlying mechanism in human CRC. Gain- and loss-of-function assays were performed to explore the role of CDKN2B-AS1 in the malignant behavior of HCT116 and SW480 CRC cells in vitro and in vivo.

LINC00200 contributes to the chemoresistance to oxaliplatin of gastric cancer cells via regulating E2F1/RAD51 axis.

The goal of this research was to decipher the biological functions and mechanism of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 200 (LINC00200) in gastric cancer (GC). In this study, our data confirmed that LINC00200 expression was up-regulated in GC tissues and its high expression was correlated with the poor differentiation of GC tissues and lymph node metastasis of the patients. In vitro experiments indicated that, the overexpression of LINC00200 facilitated the proliferation of GC cells, constrained their apoptosis, and increased the IC of oxaliplatin (Oxa), whereas knockdown of LINC00200 exhibited the opposite effects.
