Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in cancer occurrence and development. However, there is largely unknown about lncRNAs significance in the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer. In our study, we focused on AC130710, one of lncRNAs. Gastric cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were gathered from 78 patients with gastric cancer. The AC130710 levels were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Then, we further analyzed the association between AC130710 level and the clinicopathological factors of patients with gastric cancer. Finally, the molecular mechanism underling AC130710 highly expressed in gastric cancer cells was explored. The results showed that AC130710 in cancer tissues from patients with gastric cancer was significantly higher than those in adjacent noncancerous tissues (P < 0.05). Its expression level was significantly associated with tumor size (P = 0.013), tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stages (P = 0.030), and distal metastasis (P = 0.018). AC130710 expression in MGC-803 was significantly higher than that in normal gastric mucosa cell line GES-1 (P < 0.001). Moreover, miR-129-5p may play an important role in the downregulation of AC130710 in gastric cancer cells. These results indicated that lncRNA-AC130710 may be a potential tumor marker for gastric cancer prognosis.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with delayed diagnosis often limiting effective treatment options. This study introduces a novel, non-invasive radiomics-based approach utilizing [18F] FDG PET/CT to predict VEGF status and survival in GC patients. The ability to non-invasively assess these parameters can significantly influence therapeutic decisions and outcomes.

Background And Aims: Oral microbiota may contribute to the development of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) disorders. We aimed to study the association between the microbiome of saliva, subgingival and buccal mucosa, and UGI disorders, particularly precancerous lesions. We also aimed to determine which oral site might serve as the most effective biomarker for UGI disorders.

Background: The demand for frailty care is continuously increasing in hospitalized tumor patients with the aging of the population. Nurses are the primary care providers of hospitalized tumor patients with frailty but research on exploring their behavior and associated factors is limited. This study aims to describe the current situation of frailty care behaviors in oncology nurses and to explore the factors influencing frailty care behaviors.

Background: Laparoscopic gastrectomy lacks hand-direct tactile sense and has a limited surgical field compared to laparotomy. Apart from textbook classification, there are anatomical variations in the gastric arteries. Laparoscopic gastrectomy presents technical difficulties and necessitates a more comprehensive comprehension of regional anatomy than open surgical procedures.
