Objective: To investigate the effect of elemene on reversing chemoresistance to adriamycin (ADM) in human stomach cancer cell, and explore its possible mechanism.
Methods: SGC7901/ADM were divided imto two groups: control group and elemene treatment group. The cytotoxicity of ADM on SGC7901/ADM was determined by MTT assay. The activity of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) was measured by immunohistochemical staining. The apoptosis rate of stomach cancer cell line was determined by flow cyotometric analysis.
Results: The immunohistochemical staining result showed that the activity of NF-kappaB in SGC7901/ADM was increased after treated with ADM for 9 - 12 h, while that of the elemene treatment group decreased with the increasing of the elemene concentration and the lowest level was 8 - 12%. The apoptosis rate of SGC7901/ADM stomach cancer cell line was increased with the increasing of elemene concentration. At the same elemene concentration, the apoptosis rate increased with ADM treatment time prolonged. MTT result showed that the non-cytotoxic dose of elemene had synergistic effect on rilling SGC7901/ADM stomach cancer cell line and was in a dose-dependant manner.
Conclusion: The inhibitory effect of elemene on reversing chemoresistance to ADM in human stomach cancer cell line maybe related to inhibiting NF-kappaB activity.

Purpose: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a central factor linking inflammation to cancer. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the prognostic value of IL-6 and its immunotherapeutic features using a population-based pan-cancer analysis and comprehensive bioinformatic analysis.
Patients And Methods: In the cohort study, 540 patients were included to explore the prognostic value of serum IL-6 levels in cancer.

Background: Osimertinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has been authorized for use in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant osimertinib in individuals with resectable locally advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR mutation.
Methods: Ten centers located in mainland China took part in a single-arm, real-world, multicenter retrospective study (registration number: ChiCTR2100049954).

Chemotherapy is an effective treatment for gastric cancer. However, many patients develop resistance to chemotherapeutic agents during clinical treatment. LncRNA CCAT1 has recently been shown to influence cellular resistance to specific chemotherapeutic drugs, but its role in gastric cancer remains underexplored.

For gastric leiomyomas measuring ≥5 cm, endoscopic resection is necessary. The larger size of these tumors significantly impairs the resection field of view, increasing the risk of intraoperative bleeding and perforation and potentially leading to incomplete tumor removal. The combination of dental floss and tissue clip traction techniques is commonly used for resecting mucosal lesions but is rarely reported for submucosal tumors.
