The carcinogenicity of hexavalent chromium(CrVI) is of significant interest to regulatory agencies for the protection of public health and to industry. Additionally, the mode of action (MOA) and conditions under which CrVI may induce carcinogenicity (e.g., reductive capacity considerations) have recently been the subject of significant scientific debate. Epidemiological data supported by data relevant to the carcinogenic MOA support considering nonlinear-threshold carcinogenic assessments for comparison to default linear low-dose extrapolation approaches. This study reviews epidemiological studies available in the scientific literature and conducts additional statistical dose-response analyses to identify potential carcinogenic thresholds and points of departure (PODs) in the context of supportive MOA information for a nonlinear-threshold inhalation carcinogenic assessment. Dosimetric adjustments and application of appropriate uncertainty factors (total UF of 30) to the selected cumulative exposure POD results in a cancer-based chronic inhalation reference value (ReV) of 0.24 μgCrVI/m(3). This chronic ReV is 300 times higher than the 1 in 100,000 excess cancer risk air concentration of 8E-04 μg/m(3) based on USEPA's unit risk factor.

Background: Endoscopic diagnosis of early gastric cancer (EGC) is a challenge. It is not clear whether deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model could improve the endoscopists' diagnostic performance.
Methods: We established a DCNN-assisted system and found that accuracy of diagnosis is higher than endoscopists.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel condition, and colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), as one of the most prevalent malignant tumors of the digestive tract, has been indicated by research to have a close association with CD. This study employs bioinformatics techniques to uncover the potential molecular links between CD and COAD. In this study, two data series related to CD were identified from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database under specific criteria, and relevant COAD gene data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is one of the most common malignant tumours of the female genital tract. In the occurrence, progression and prognosis of UCEC, chronic inflammation plays an important role, making it pivotal to identify inflammatory response-related endometrial diseases. The cytokine interleukin-33 (IL-33) plays significant roles in immune responses, and has been associated with inappropriate allergic reactions, autoimmune diseases, and cancer pathology.

Background: Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is a significant risk factor for lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer (GC) and is closely related to the prognosis and recurrence of GC. This study aimed to establish clinical models, radiomics models and combination models for the diagnosis of GC vascular invasion.
Methods: This study enrolled 146 patients with GC proved by pathology and who underwent radical resection of GC.
