On basis of experience in computed tomography (CT) of the stomach in 76 individuals, in 44 of whom gastric tumors were diagnosed, the possibilities of this method in the recognition of this pathological condition are discussed. The authors discuss in detail their own method of CT of the stomach, which combines elements of the classical gastroroentgenology and the specific features of CT characteristic of it as an independent method. The method is based on fractional contrasting of the gastric lumen by introducing air through a nasogastric catheter. It practically excludes the possibility of diagnostic errors associated with visualization of "pseudothickenings" of the gastric wall, and thus removes the main limiting factor of using CT in the diagnosis of gastric tumors. Appraising quite highly the CT potential in neoplastic diseases of the stomach, the authors emphasize that the method must be used in complex with the existing traditional means of examination of the stomach.

The sine oculis homeobox homolog (SIX) family, a group of transcription factors characterized by a conserved DNA-binding homology domain, plays a critical role in orchestrating embryonic development and organogenesis across various organisms, including humans. Comprising six distinct members, from to , each member contributes uniquely to the development and differentiation of diverse tissues and organs, underscoring the versatility of the SIX family. Dysregulation or mutations in genes have been implicated in a spectrum of developmental disorders, as well as in tumor initiation and progression, highlighting their pivotal role in maintaining normal developmental trajectories and cellular functions.

Background: Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare venous malformation disorder. Currently, there is no standard therapy for this disease. However, lauromacrogol, a sclerosant extensively utilized in the management of vascular malformations, has been applied in the treatment of BRBNS.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the correlation between the tumor-stroma ratio (TSR) and peritoneal metastasis (PM) in gastric cancer (GC) and constructs a diagnostic model based on preoperative examination data.
Methods: To determine the feasibility of obtaining TSR in GC patients through preoperative examinations, the consistency of TSR between endoscopic biopsy tissues and postoperative histopathological tissues was evaluated. Additionally, the correlation between TSR and PM in GC was analyzed using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a formidable adversary in the field of oncology. The low early diagnosis rate of GC results in a low overall survival rate. Therefore, early accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are the key to reduce the mortality of GC.

The aim of our 5-year study (from January 2008 to December 2012) was to compare the incidence of peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB) to bleeding from tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The percentage of re-bleeding within the first 30 days of hospital admission, as well as the need of blood transfusions, are also reported. Statistical data were collected on 2198 patients who were treated in our emergency department due to upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in the form of melena or hematemesis.
