tRNA-guanine transglycosylase (TGT) is an enzyme which synthesizes a modified nucleoside, queuosine, by exchanging the base moiety of guanosine for queuine in tRNA. We have reported that the expression level of the 60-kDa subunit of TGT (TGT60kD) is elevated in leukemic cells, however, there is no other report on the expression of TGT60kD in cancer cells. The expression levels of the TGT60kD protein are elevated in four of the five colon cancer cell lines and 83% of colon cancer tissues compared with normal tissues. The expression levels of the TGT60kD protein decreased in two colon cancer cell lines, after cell differentiation was induced. A marked positive staining of cancer cells in colon tissues was observed, and the subcellular staining pattern was mainly cytosolic. These data suggest that the role of TGT60kD in colon carcinogenesis.

Partial versus radical cystectomy in localized colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Int Urol Nephrol
January 2025
Department of Colorectal Surgery, Heliopolis Hospital, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Purpose: Locally advanced colorectal tumors frequently invade adjacent organs, particularly the urinary bladder in the sigmoid colon and upper rectum, complicating multivisceral resections. This study compared postoperative outcomes of partial cystectomy (PC) and total cystectomy (TC) in patients with locally advanced colorectal cancer.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Central Register of Clinical Trials, and Web of Science for studies published up to November 2024.
Comparative effectiveness of laparoscopic versus open colectomy in colon cancer patients: a study protocol for emulating a target trial using cancer registry data.

Introduction: The objective of this study is to compare the 5 year overall survival of patients with stage I-III colon cancer treated by laparoscopic colectomy versus open colectomy.
Methods: Using Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Cancer Registry data from 2008 to 2018, we will emulate a phase III, multicenter, open-label, two-parallel-arm hypothetical target trial in adult patients with stage I-III colon cancer who received laparoscopic or open colectomy as an elective treatment. An inverse-probability weighted Royston‒Parmar parametric survival model (RPpsm) will be used to estimate the hazard ratio of laparoscopic versus open surgery after confounding factors are balanced between the two treatment arms.
Rational Design of Dual-Targeted Nanomedicines for Enhanced Vascular Permeability in Low-Permeability Tumors.
ACS Nano

Designing dual-targeted nanomedicines to enhance tumor delivery efficacy is a complex challenge, largely due to the barrier posed by blood vessels during systemic delivery. Effective transport across endothelial cells is, therefore, a critical topic of study. Herein, we present a synthetic biology-based approach to engineer dual-targeted ferritin nanocages (Dt-FTn) for understanding receptor-mediated transport across tumor endothelial cells.

: Wernicke's encephalopathy can occur in oncology patients independent of alcohol use, likely resulting from poor dietary thiamine intake. High metabolic demands, such as those in acute illnesses seen in the emergency department (ED), can exacerbate thiamine deficiency. In this study, our objective was to assess the incidence of thiamine deficiency in ED oncology patients, which could lead to Wernicke's encephalopathy or other thiamine deficiency disorders if left untreated.
