Objective: This report describes a mini-invasive technique called endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR) for the treatment of gastric subepithelial tumors (SETs) originating from the muscularis propria (MP).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 69 patients with gastric SETs originating from the MP at our hospital between September 2009 and July 2016. The data from each patient were reviewed, including patient information, tumor characteristics, procedure-related data, and recurrence rates.
Results: Successful complete resection by EFR was achieved in 69 cases. The complete resection rate was 100%, and the mean resected tumor size was 2.25±1.40 (range, 0.6 to 6) cm. No residual tumor recurrence was detected during the follow-up period in 57 patients. The other 12 patients were lost to follow-up.
Conclusions: EFR seems to be a safe and effective technique for the treatment of patients with gastric SETs originating from the MP.

The soft nature of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) sets them apart from other non-synthetic porous materials. Their flexibility allows the framework components to rearrange in response to environmental changes, leading to different states and properties. The work extends this concept to titanium frameworks, demonstrating control over charge transport in porous molecular crystals.

Oxidative stress is universal to all cell types, including cancer. It is elicited by a surplus of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or a reduced cellular ability to defend against those. At low levels (oxidative eustress), this induces altered cellular signaling, while at higher levels (oxidative distress), cellular toxicity and non-specific redox signaling become apparent.

Obligatory parthenogenesis in vertebrates is restricted to squamate reptiles and evolved through hybridisation. Parthenogens can hybridise with sexual species, resulting in individuals with increased ploidy levels. We describe two successive hybridisations of the parthenogenetic butterfly lizards (genus Leiolepis) in Vietnam with a parental sexual species.

Background: An increase in pandemics of zoonotic origin has led to a growing interest in using statistical prediction to identify hotspots of zoonotic emergence. However, the rare nature of pathogen emergence requires modellers to impose simplifying assumptions, which limit the model's validity. We present a novel approach to hotspot mapping that aims to improve validity by combining model-based insights with expert knowledge.

The evolutionary origin of the vertebrate brain remains a major subject of debate, as its development from a dorsal tubular neuroepithelium is unique to chordates. To shed light on the evolutionary emergence of the vertebrate brain, we compared anterior neuroectoderm development across deuterostome species, using available single-cell datasets from sea urchin, amphioxus, and zebrafish embryos. We identified a conserved gene co-expression module, comparable to the anterior gene regulatory network (aGRN) controlling apical organ development in ambulacrarians, and spatially mapped it by multiplexed in situ hybridization to the developing retina and hypothalamus of chordates.
