Published: April 2000

The lack of expression of the putative tumor suppressor gene DMBT1 has been described in gliomas, lung carcinomas, and other malignancies. To investigate the mechanisms regulating DMBT1 expression we have screened a human genomic library with a 5' cDNA probe and identified a fragment of approximately 3 kb upstream of the proposed coding sequence of DMBT1. This fragment contains subregions that may up- or down-regulate the expression of a reporter gene. These findings may help to elucidate the mechanisms regulating the alternative splicing and the tissue specific expression of DMBT1.

Fusobacterium nucleatum confirmed in gastric biopsies of patients without Helicobacter pylori.

BMC Res Notes

Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases Research Center, Research Institute for Gastroenterology and Liver Diseases, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.

Objective: Putative associations between certain bacteria and gastric cancer have been described previously; however, the mechanisms underlying such associations are not thoroughly understood. We aimed to confirm the presence of Fusobacterium nucleatum in the biopsy samples of patients with gastroduodenal diseases, including gastric cancer, with concomitant or without Helicobacter pylori infection.

Results: Three hundred patients with gastroduodenal disorders, including gastritis, duodenal ulcer, or gastric cancer, were included.

Department of Digestive and Hepatobiliary Medicine, CHU Clermont-Ferrand, Clermont-Ferrand, F-63000, France.

Introduction: Metabolic steatotic liver disease (MASLD) can progress to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). 25% of MASLD-HCCs occur in the absence of fibrosis.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore lipid metabolic pathways through "omics" and to identify biomarkers of MASLD-HCC based on the degree of fibrosis.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder characterized by inappropriate elevation of parathyroid hormone and hypercalcemia. While predominantly an asymptomatic disease in Western populations, symptomatic presentations are more prevalent in Eastern countries. The molecular pathogenesis of sporadic PHPT primarily involves genetic and epigenetic alterations leading to abnormal parathyroid cell proliferation and altered calcium sensing mechanism.

Background: To investigate the expression and associations of putative stem cell markers with survival in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Methods: This study included 180 patients with locally advanced GC who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and subsequent radical gastrectomy between June 2010 and December 2014. Surgical paraffin samples from the enrolled patients were collected.
