Unlabelled: OBJECTIVE; To investigate the expression of CD40 in gastric cancer and explore the correlation of CD40 with the outcome of patients.
Methods: The expression of CD40 was examined by immunohistochemistry in human gastric cancer tissues (73 cases) and adjacent normal gastric tissues (51 cases). CD40 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR in 11 gastric cancer and 11 adjacent normal gastric tissues. The patients were followed up for 60 months. The correlation of CD40 expression and the overall survival time were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier chart and Log-Rank test. Cox model was used for multivariate analysis.
Results: The immunoreactivity of CD40 increased in 35/73 gastric cancer tissues (47.9%) as compared to the tumor-free tissues (P = 0.0063). CD40 mRNA were detected in 72.7% (8/11) gastric cancer tissues, while not in all tumor-free tissues. After a 5-year follow-up, the survival rate was 57.9% (22/38) in CD40-negative patients, and 5.7% (2/35) in CD40-positive patients (P = 0.0022). The median survival time of patients with negative, positive, and strong CD40 expression was 56, 29 and 11 months respectively (P = 0.0085). Cox regression analysis suggested that CD40, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage were independent factors affecting the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.
Conclusion: Normal and malignant gastric tissues are found to have its own unique CD40 expression patterns. CD40 may play a role in metastatic spread of gastric cancer and its expression may be used as an important survival predictor in human gastric cancer.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of preoperative prealbumin levels on long-term survival outcomes after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer (GC) dichotomized based on age.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for primary stage I-III GC between May 2006 and March 2017. Patients were allocated to groups based on age (≥ 70 or < 70 years) and subgroups based on prealbumin levels (high, ≥ 22 mg/dL; moderate, 15-22 mg/dL; or low, < 15 mg/dL), and multivariate Cox regression was used for survival analyses.

CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) are two critical molecules involved in the tumor immune microenvironment. However, the impact of platinum drugs, such as cisplatin, on CXCR4 or PD-L1 expression and the underlying mechanisms in gastric cancer (GC) remain unknown. Moreover, the correlation between their expression levels in GC remains elusive.

Rationale And Objectives: The expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in gastric cancer is closely associated with its treatment outcomes and prognosis. This study aims to develop and validate a HER2 prediction model based on computed tomography (CT). Additionally, the study evaluates the robustness of the proposed model.

A pangenome is the sum of the genetic information of all individuals in a species or a population. Genomics research has been gradually shifted to a paradigm using a pangenome as the reference. However, in disease genomics study, pangenome-based analysis is still in its infancy.

Background And Aims: Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO) is an unfortunate complication of advanced upper gastrointestinal malignancies. Historically, surgical gastrojejunostomy has been the procedure of choice to achieve enteral bypass. Recently, endoscopic techniques have gained popularity in the management of MGOO.
