Objective: To investigate the effect of hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy(HIIC) and postoperative nutritional support on the intestinal permeability and the cellular immunity function in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Methods: All the patients diagnosed as advanced gastric cancer in the Gastric Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Jiangsu Cancer Hospital were randomly divided into three groups using random digit table:(1)EN group treated with enteral nutrition during postoperative period; (2)HIIC+EN group treated with HIIC combined with postoperative enteral nutrition;(3)HIIC+PN group treated with HIIC combined with postoperative parenteral nutrition. Index of lactulose/mannitol(L/M) ratio was used to evaluate the permeability of intestinal mucosa. The percentage of CD4(+), CD8(+) and NK cell, the ratio of CD4/CD8 T cell in peripheral blood were tested by flow cytometry. The time points of these measurements were the day before surgery, postoperative days (POD) 3, 7, and 12.

Results: Compared with the day before surgery(POD-1), the ratio of L/M on POD+3 increased significantly in all the three groups(0.1235±0.0611 vs. 0.0280±0.0183, 0.1648±0.0571 vs. 0.0305±0.0208, 0.1702±0.0628 vs. 0.0298±0.0229)(P<0.05) and then decreased gradually. The L/M ratio of EN(0.0278±0.0217) and HIIC+EN(0.0336±0.0235) groups recovered to the baseline on POD+12, however HIIC+PN group still had elevated L/M ratio(0.0616±0.0430). The percentage of CD4(+)T cell and the ratio of CD4/CD8 in HIIC+EN group and HIIC+PN group were significantly lower than those in EN group(P=0.033, P=0.002, respectively). Compared with the POD-1,the percentage of CD4(+)T cell and the ratio of CD4/CD8 in HIIC+EN group and EN group on POD+12 were increased significantly(P<0.05).

Conclusions: HIIC may cause significant increase in intestinal permeability and inhibit cellular immunity in patients undergoing radical resection for advanced gastric cancer. Mucosal permeability can be reversed by enteral nutrition.

An oral microbiota-based deep neural network model for risk stratification and prognosis prediction in gastric cancer.

J Oral Microbiol

January 2025

Background: This study aims to develop an oral microbiota-based model for gastric cancer (GC) risk stratification and prognosis prediction.

Methods: Oral microbial markers for GC prognosis and risk stratification were identified from 99 GC patients, and their predictive potential was validated on an external dataset of 111 GC patients. The identified bacterial markers were used to construct a Deep Neural Network (DNN) model, a Random Forest (RF) model, and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model for predicting GC prognosis.

-associated gastritis (HPAG) is a common condition of the gastrointestinal tract. However, extensive and long-term antibiotic use has resulted in numerous adverse effects, including increased resistance, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and increased recurrence rates. When these concerns develop, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may have advantages.

Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular (Eph) receptors comprise the largest group of surface receptors and are responsible for cellular signals. Eph/ephrin signaling has been identified to play a role in key cancer development and progression processes, especially in the upper gastrointestinal tract. The Eph/ephrin system has been described as a tumor suppressor in duodenal cancer, while in esophageal, gastric, hepatic, and pancreatic cancer, the system has been related to tumor progression.

Beneath the Surface: Diagnosing Gastric Linitis Plastica.

J Community Hosp Intern Med Perspect

November 2024

MedStar Health Internal Medicine Residency Program, Baltimore, MD, USA.

Gastric Linitis plastica is characterized by extensive infiltration of gastric wall by poorly differentiated tumor cells, creating a "leather-bottle stomach" appearance. We describe a case involving a 71-year-old male presenting with globus sensation, early satiety and weight loss. Recent EGD had revealed chronic gastritis with polypoid mucosa at the GE junction, and subsequent FDG-PET indicated asymmetric FDG localization.

Dieulafoy's lesion (DL) is an uncommon cause of life-threatening gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. It can occur in any part of the GI tract, including the stomach, duodenum, colon, and esophagus. Dieulafoy's lesion in the esophagus (DLE) is an exceedingly rare entity, with only 23 case reports/series (27 patients) reported to date.
