Objective: To investigate the change of gastric cancer cell proliferation and the expression of gastric cancer related gene 213 (GCRG213), a long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1) endonuclease variant, during hypoxia.
Methods: Normal gastric mucosa cell GES-1 and gastric cancer cell BGC-823 were cultured in 20% or 3% oxygen concentrations, respectively. MTT test was used to analyze the proliferation of the GES-1 and BGC-823 cells. The change of GCRG213 mRNA and protein expression in GES-1 and BGC-823 cells was detected by using RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Blast was used at the NCBI Blast server to identify GCRG213 sequence to any alignment in the GeneBank databases.
Results: Compared with 20% oxygen condition, 3% oxygen concentration could promote cell growth. Mean-while, the expression of GCRG213 at mRNA and protein levels was increased. GCRG213 sequence shared high homology with LINE-1 endonuclease sequence.
Conclusion: GCRG213 is a variant of LINE-1 endonuclease. Hypoxia as in 3% oxygen condition can promote cell proliferation and lead to GCRG213 overexpression.

Early cancer detection substantially improves the rate of patient survival; however, conventional screening methods are directed at single anatomical sites and focus primarily on a limited number of cancers, such as gastric, colorectal, lung, breast, and cervical cancer. Additionally, several cancers are inadequately screened, hindering early detection of 45.5% cases.

In recent years, the incidence of gastric cancer (GC) has been on the rise, surgical procedures usually require the removal of part of gastric tissue connected with the tumor lesion, which leads to poor postoperative health and adverse prognosis in patients. Probiotics, as an active microorganism, play an important role in improving gastrointestinal function and enhancing immunity. In this study, we randomized 135 GC patients into a control group, a probiotic group and a combination group.

Purpose: Given the recent update of SF-6Dv2, detailed data on utility scores for cancer patients by cancer type remain scarce in China and other regions, which limits the precision of cost-utility analyses (CUA) in cancer interventions. The aim of the study was to systematically evaluate utility scores of six common cancers in China measured using SF-6Dv2, and identify the potential factors associated with utility scores.
Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional survey was conducted from August 2022 to December 2023.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness and safety of combining nivolumab, an immunotherapy drug, with chemotherapy in patients with a specific type of metastatic gastric cancer co-expressing FGFR2 and PD-L1.
- A total of 23 patients were treated, showing a 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate of 30.4% and a median overall survival (OS) of 15.1 months, though the primary endpoint of improved 1-year PFS was not achieved.
- The results highlight the need for future research on patient selection and potential combination therapies to enhance treatment outcomes in this patient population.

Background: The risk of esophageal cancer after bariatric surgery is a matter of debate.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the risk of esophageal cancer following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and gastric bypass (GB).
Methods: We extracted data from the national discharge database (Programme De Médicalisation des Systèmes d'Information) for patients who underwent bariatric surgery in France between 2007 and 2020.
